I’m literally so grateful to say this is my great great grandmother ❤️
Wow!
You might want to pick up a guitar and find out if that talent washed it’s was down!
❤ wow❤
Nice!❤
very cool. ❤
she is playing a right handed guitar, she has it turned upside down. How is she doing this, with her eyes closed at that? I don't know if anyone understands the talent and sheer craziness of what she managed to pull off here. As a guitar player, I'm floored!
When the grandma is a lot cooler than the grandchild
I know a guy who learned that.. if you learn it that way it makes sense
Dick Dale used the same technique
My brother played like that until he could afford a left ha did bass
Kris Rowe also plays like this
This is the lady wrote the standard "Freight Train" when she was 12 years old. Wonderful, clean technique, and a beautiful person to boot. 10/10.
Is this: freight train freight train going so fast, freight train freight train going so fast, I don't know what train he's on, won't you tell me where he's gone.
I don't know this lady but if it is, British singer Lonnie Donegan sang it.
@@jsemplefelton5348 Yes. There are many wonderful covers. ♪♫
Well stated
Way back in the folkie days, I played a concert with her. And her grandchildren on stage, singing along. Such a long time ago. a pleasure to find this here on UA-cam. Thanks to whoever posted it.
Youre lucky and so blessed. I have always imagined her as a warm, inviting figure. She is so very special.
@@calstonjew gtfooh
@@calstonjew I think your a person who doesn't believe in anything,you skeptical person?
@@marionetteproject508 I believe in life after love
@@calstonjew I care about death and working,but if someone that's over 60 would never lie.I think that's him
I wonder if she ever dreamed that 3.2 million people would stop and watch her play her guitar? It’s so freaking cool to watch these old videos and get to love the musicians and artists of yesteryear. My grandfather would have loved this 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
No, she didn't dream it. She had no idea UA-cam would be invented.
@Melinda Bloodworth. Oh yes she never believed.
Before the internet I don't think anyone would or could think of various races of all nations will ever be watching a footage of an artist playing an instrument.
I think she dislikes all the fighting amongst commenters , a mix of independent google instant researchers and speech police , having it out on nano level corrections , no humorous writing allowed , no spelling mistakes , nuovo disorder del mundo in play . And here to stay . I'll be on my way , good day . Let her play .
@Melinda bloodworth. So how are you doing today?
She’s playing a right handed guitar while holding it left handed..... which makes the strings backwards or upside down....
That’s pretty amazing !!!!!
Check "Mononeon"
Is this a precursor of Jimi Hendrix?
Hendrix-style.
@@johnsunde4339 No Hendrix played left handed stringed that way. She plays like albert king
It's how she learned. Was her daddy's guitar and he didn't want to restring it for her.
OMG, she looks just like my Grandma, that is why I clicked it. Wow, what a talent.
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.... Stay safe!!!
And you are a beautiful woman
She looks like my Grandma too RIP to my Mama 🕊
También se parece mucho a la mía hasta en la voz😳
Awww thats sweet.
She's playing a right-handed guitar as a left-handed player, without changing the positions of the strings. Awesome!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
@@edithbannerman4I’m gay
@@rottingpotatoes2483 lol I’ve a gay friend if you’re interested
@@rottingpotatoes2483😂
She has a GOD given talent, there is no other way to explain it🙏🏽
Elizabeth played at our grade school. That was about 45 years ago. I still remember bits and pieces from when I was 6 or 7. She was really nice, we love her.
You are so lucky Corey! I would have loved to hear her.
All of Mankind adores this Woman. I recognize Our Creator in a human Vessel!!! AMEN
Hello Brett, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Leave your imaginary friend out of it, she’s a self made talent, right aptitude and hard work.
.... This woman is God tier. She split heaven open with an axe playing like that. God bless this lady. You can tell she genuinely loved Gospel music.
"Split heaven open with an axe playing like that!" I love that phrase.
Elizabeth Cotten needs to be recognized more by the music industry. She was great.
most relaxing minute n thirty-six seconds of my life
2021 in the house
days gone by....never to return
Holyspirit give you comfort.
Jesus Love you.
Add in a couple drops of cbd and its pure heaven
1 minute and 37 seconds to be precise
What sort of devil would thumbs down this video? Just need to know. So heartwarming.
Sometimes life isn't fair.... just sucks that I'd never get to meet such an amazing person. She's AMAZING 👏
THIS is the magic of UA-cam! Where else would I have seen this awesome lady playing an upside down guitar?!?
586 thumbs down? She’s playing A RIGHT-HANDED GUITAR LEFT-HANDED!
That's exactly what we see here with the thicker bass strings on the lower fretboard.
@Jill Bowers No, the opposite. This wonderful lady flipped a right-handed guitar and plays it. Hendrix re-strung his for lefty.
@Jill Bowers Wrong dude.
@Jill Bowers You need to get your eyes checked. If you just look at this video, you can clearly see this lady has her strings setup right-handed, and her guitar is upside down. And Jimi Hendrix was very well known for playing the guitar pretty much any way and configuration he wanted to (or needed to), but BY FAR the VAST majority of the time, he played a right-handed strat, strung left-handed.
Ya, wtf. I swear there’s an army of morons that just thumbs down every video they see
As a guitar player I'm always amazed that people can play guitar upside down. The guitar is hard enough. Amazing style and technique witnessed here. Feeling humbled
I too, play a right hander upside down and it can be tricky but very rewarding!!
Dick Dale played a lefty Strat strung upside down.
LOL
she is left handed, was hard to find left handed guitars for cheap back in the days so a lot of people had to learn this way
@@gtlindley74 why rewarding? i dont see the point making it so hard on yourself. Im lefthanded and learned all the open chords on righthanded guitars just because im met with them all the time, you dont see lefthanded guitars aynwhere except for bigger guitar stores, but i do not enjoy it man
Today at age 72 I discovered Elizabeth (Libba) Cotten. Freight train was one of the first songs I learned to play on my guitar when I was about 19. I had no clue who wrote the song and now I feel I have discovered an earth angel. Rest in peace Libba.
This made me very happy. I hope you are well wherever you are!
Discovered an earth angel... Very poetic. Truth
God bless her soul
A true American hero.
Except America denied her the rights and recognition afforded to most Americans - America thought her trash - In light of her greatness, this America thing ya got going - that's a nation with some serious issues.
My 6 yo said: "It looks like her fingers are dancing." Indeed, it does. 💖
Brought a massive smile to my face this comment - thank you!
SO SWEET 😖 I love children so much...
HA! I was just thinking, aw, she has such pretty hands, then I scrolled down and read this! Your kiddo is totally right! they are beautiful dancing fingers! :)
@WhatAWorld Such a smart sweet observant child!!! Good for you!!!
love it
Very gifted woman. Plays from her soul
Ino da arpa cristã eu avisto uma terra feliz ino número 614
Man I long for that day,please come lord Jesus!
For those of you unfamiliar with her, she was incredibly talented, and a all around great human being. We could learn a lot from her and her generation.
king Duncan Thane: You are correct. Older folks have a lot of wisdom to share. People must be willing to listen though.
💞
Some of us Did
When people had more class kindness and respect.Talent as well .No such thing as auto tune to cover up mistakes.
They should be so lucky ...

Miss Elizabeth cotton one of North Carolina's finest and yes Miss Elizabeth cotton was the best at it when it came to folk and country blues music and a special thank you to Syracuse New York for putting a statue in Miss Elizabeth cotton honor for her hard work and dedication to folk and country blues music thank you again for recognizing this talented woman 🎼🎵🎶🪕
SHOUT TO MY FELLOW NORTH CAROLINIANS 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@@Fanwithnblades yes yes yes same to you friend
And we must not forget Mr Doc Watson/ Mr blind boy Fuller/ Miss Algia Mae Hinton and miss Etta Baker they are a few more of North Carolina finest that played folk and country blues music 🎶🪕😁
@@TheBluesmanBlue nice, will look more into that

My grandmother's favorite song.
"Grace And Humility!👍"
STILL LISTENING TO MS. COTTON THIS JULY 2020 PANDEMIC...A LEGENDRY WOMAN AND HUMAN BEING!
Ulysses Parado Isn’t she though. Hope she’s keeping the sweet by and by going in Heaven, and won’t be seeing the mess happening here on earth. It’s just too sad for such a sweet lady who left so much joy. I’m thankful we can turn to this music, makes any day better.
F
Indeed, just found her thanks to Billy strings. This rabbit hole has been deep last couple of weeks.
Y
Christmas Day to this lousy year
she was and is a national treasure. she also wrote the song freight train
Welp, I know what I'm looking up after this one
Freight train freight train, movin' so fast...
..and, according to Stefan Grossman, never received any money for Freight Train,
@@davearbuthnut241 Most musicians pre-1967 were ripped off.
Lefty Frizzell was big as Elvis during the 50's and died living in his friends basement drunk off his ass.(1975)
Tragic story after tragic story when it comes to music.
Ethereal Catholic thats pre illuminate days. After Elvis all big name artist sell their souls to the devil for fortune fame and much more. Its why we have no teue talents anymore
Even some string bending… her soul was flowing through this instrument!! Gold!!
Thank you, ma’am
God bless you Elizabeth in that "Sweet By and By"!!!!!!!!
@Randy, how are you doing, I wish you a lovely new week? I have an important information I wanna pass to you , do you mind if I say it right here or we should talk private 🙏?
Rumour is
She invented EVERY GENRE OF MUSIC
Love it and her
Those 145 dislikes are from people who are clearly not meeting in the sweet by and by
Now it's 148.... :( Sad
Probably true! How could you dislike this God given talent?
@@MultiJimmyb too many haters in this world. They should not use you tube.
The sweet by and by is coming soon. Did you see the Horsemen buses carrying the corona virus people in England. Plague and Pestilence?
Wrong. People like different things. The fact that not everyone likes what YOU like means nothing other than that they have different taste. You're just being stupid.
This song never get old and always love QUEEN Elizabeth Cotten👑🎶🎸💫👌🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Hello Karine, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus,?
How wonderful!!!
So lovely. She had the magic and shared it.
I'm a lefty. She's playing upside down better than I can play right side up. That aggravates the shit outta me!
lol
That, Mick Victor, is because you have a trashy mouth and NO talent. Have you NO respect whatsoever? Shame on you.
I tell you - Keith Richards would be a HUGE fan. If I could do what a lefty could do on a guitar I'd be happy! It's all just House of the rising sun and Wonderwall for us righties! The lefties figure the instrument out and take it forward. Hendrix, Cobain, Cotton, etc.
I'm sure this lady is in heaven. The last will be first.
God damn. A master.
So that is two fingerstyle of that great old tune. Thank You. Yup.! G-G 🤔😁🎸📀‼
Saw her live in 1981 at the Vancouver Folk Festival. I remember they brought her out on stage, sat her down with a comforter on her lap. She apologised for having stiff fingers (the air was a bit cool) and then proceeded to blow us all away with her unusual style of playing. Was a great moment to hear her sing "Freight Train"
Wow, any recodings from that ? Love that old song and just learned a bit about this beautiful soul
My Lord how simply beautiful. 🍀
I cry every time I listen. Beautiful.
Does more with two fingers than I can do with my soul!!
Marvellous.
Just very sweet and moving - if you disliked this, look into your soul.
Yes, I was astounded at the numbers of thumbs down. Must have been some silly concerted killjoy effort.
Fabulous
This is good old picking and she is one of the best.
Hello friend, how are you doing today? ??
Hello Linda..
AND THE STRINGS R UPSIDE DOWN, VERY VERY TALENTED
greatness.
She's apart of an amazing few natural musicians whom played from the heart.
I wonder if she ever dreamed that 6 million people would stop and watch her play her guitar 🎸 in the "Cotten" picking style. It's an honor & privilege to watch these old videos of our musical history. Her music lives on "By and By".
Congratulations #ElizabethCotten on your induction into the #RockandRollHallofFame class of 2022❕
She better be smiling down from heaven when God shows her how many people love her ❤️
Beautifull 😍😍🤩🤩🥰🥰
Like my nona, RIP. 2 fingas (whistle) ugh , so many emotions at once. And it never goes away.
RIP EC, you made an impact on the world
There's something about Elizabeth Cotton's playing that resonates with people on a deep level. You can see how much she feels the music, and it comes out so effortlessly through her playing.
God bless her.
Big thumbs up.
so calm, so graceful, so simple.
Everyone's sweet grandma ... legend. She says she picks with 2 fingers ... I hear 20!
Lovely, and did you notice what beautiful hands she has?!
Yes, pretty and youthful!🌹
@cheryi, how are you doing, I wish you a lovely new week? I have an important information I wanna pass to you , do you mind if I say it right here or we should talk private 🙏?
Two fingers ... Wish I had the ability to say so much with only two fingers ( and a voice) . Beautiful.
She's got beautiful hands.
If you know the guitar 🎸 and will understand how great this woman really was everything is upside-down wow what a talent she was B1👏🏿👊🏿✊🏿
Never heard of her. Wow! Talk about raw talent.
Hello Pretty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus,?
That was beautiful I would stop and listen to her play
I saw her in person about twice in MINNEAPOLIS. I think once she played outside Coffman Union on the mall of the University of MN, and once in the Cafe Extempore on Cedar Ave near the university. Mike Seeger brought her to Mpls. both times, I think. That is Pete Seegers brother. Another time she was not feeling well, so he came alone and gave a concert. That was nice. It was just like it was yesterday, but it must have been a long time ago.
Elizabeth Cotton, she's like the left handed, right hand guitar slinging grandmother you wished you had. Awesome.
Koakmozmkoqmmoakioqm
back her days they never got the regonition that they deserved
Mozart too led a pretty miserable life !!!
What is good?
This lady was amazing two fingers playing that music to strum
This makes me wish I could hug my grandma again
She makes it look so effortless. God Bless you Elizabeth Cotton
@Booger Balls oh
@Booger Balls um
amen
Such an adorable guitar player. 🥰
Everyone talks about Mother Maybelle Carter. But not Elizabeth Cotten. That's going to change. She was awesome.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe should never go unnoticed as well.
Elizabeth Cotten WAS "The Sweet By And By." ... We are SO LUCKY to have these TV appearances so we can see how she produced her beautiful sound with her TOTALLY original self-taught technique. .... I've been playing for 40 years and She STILL blows me away.
How precious. And she is a lefty playing a righty guitar upside down, WOW! That takes talent.
It's all how you learn it. She'd probly be confused strung the normal way after playing it her way so long.
@Lainey Wright. How are you doing today?
earlier ther werent left hand guitarrs I guess
You just string the guitar backwards.
@@dennismartin5821 LOL, not in her case. The pick-guard is upwards and it's strung for a right-handed play. Peace.
✨🙏✨beautiful authentic lady✨🙏✨🇦🇺
beautiful.
God imagine what she could do in the comfort of her own home when she noodled for fun, with no audience, no camera, no one but her and her guitar.
She is not resting she is living in heaven.
This is pure gold and Talent
One word....Beautifull
I remember seeing her in person. She was wonderful. Don't forget, she gave the song "Freight Train" to generations of American children. An underappreciated treasure.
I've never heard that song freight train. I'm going on you tube to find it .
This is the first time I have seen Elizabeth Cotten playing, it's simply amazing. I knew she played a right hand strung guitar upside down because I heard Ramblin' Jack Elliot talk about it. He tells the story about how, when she was a young girl, she wasn't allowed to play guitar. So when the house was empty she used to sneak a go on her brothers guitar which was right handed but she was left handed. So she learned to play a right handed guitar in the left hand position.If you are a guitarist (and/or gave her a thumbs down) give it a try.
@john, how are you doing, I wish you a lovely new week? I have an important information I wanna pass to you , do you mind if I say it right here or we should talk private 🙏?
The old fashioned town of Chillingbourne would love this video.
That is so awesome, program that that is your great grandma...i love it🍉
Rest in peace granma. We love you
Magic
I love how she flipped the guitar to her way of playing....brilliant and lovely.
She was awesome.
@shemp, sir, how are you doing, I wish you a lovely new week? I have an important information I wanna pass to you , do you mind if I say it right here or we should talk private 🙏?
Elizabeth is a Gem . Playing left handed and wearing her wedding ring . Priceless .
Damn I love you so much Christy belle! ❤️
What a beautiful human being.
Such beautiful, fluid fingerstyle. Very few bells and whistles; just a humble heart sharing her art.
This is beautiful!
brings a tear to my eye, knowing she probably didn't know this many people enjoyed hearing her..
My day is gonna be better now
Peace all over me!
Brings a tear to me eyes!
Playing left handed with a right handed guitar.Genius
It amazes me that she is playing upside down. Hendrix played the same way. Lovely
Lovey I agree but hendrix played right hand guitar strung left
@@MeonO_O .... yup.... Low string (Big) should be on top.... I’m a lefty... so I really notice stuff like that...
In fact My parents are right handed
and my brother, sister and myself are all left.... which is very rare... or odd...lol
❤❤❤wow, what a woman. 🙏🏾🤍🙏🏾
