It's wonderful to see the young ones carrying on this music. Remember: This is true American music. The Country & Western stuff was imported as "folk music" in the mid 1800's from the United Kingdom; therefore it is basically evolved English music, but Blues was born right here in America. It is our true music, and it's just great to see the young ones embrace it and play it so well. (Great job, Macyn!)
well said.. I started listening to clapton, and guys like him who dug back to the old days and "punched it up" a bit.. then when I discovered the original authors of this music I fell in love.. Love this girls version of the tune.. love her fingerpicking.. and if you dont play.. that is complicated stuff.. thumb and index are operating independently.. thumb plays bass and index plays melody.. Keep the faith young lady.. keep the faith.. well done indeed
I'm inclined to believe that C&W was a hybrid mix of English /Irish folk tunes and American blues. There are plenty of blues notes (flattened thirds and sevenths) in all American music. This very talented artist makes me happy with her embrace of this music.
Oh my , wow ! Whgen you opened up with your vocals and delivered the entire package you sent chills through me ! You vibrato effect was spot on erily so !!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your stellar offering of Bob !!!!!!!
Really enjoyed this. Robert Johnson is the model for so many songs and this demonstrates his writing skill as it is so well played in the true spirit of Blues.
Superbly performed and really very much like the original Robert Johnson version, definitely not the easier version that I do lol. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Macyn hope you keep on doing what you do and don't listen to those nitpickers. There's always people who've never been performing or had no schooling at all in this field thinking they know it all. An no-one is too young to sing the blues. If Clapton, Gary Moore, Mick Jagger and many others doing blues would have listened to comments like that he'd never became world famous! I'm happy to see young people doing blues! About time! As far as I'm concerned a 5 star performance.
Absolutely right. The untalented always have something to say about the very talented. It is usually bitterness or extreme jealousy. It certainly isn't musical knowledge. She should come to the UK, because there is a huge demand for people like her over here. One appearance on 'Later' would make her in the UK, as it did for Amelda May
ipolson I know this from visiting with a very quiet and humble bluesman from New Orleans. Funny thing here in the states is that Blacks under about 50 years old dont care for the blues legends or the music. It was back when Blacks were being kept down and , now today's music with no talent is a better thing to be proud of. Other than their wife and sisters and daughters -its Bitches and whores and bling and dope. Hating on your country and shooting other blacks is all the rage. Now that's progress worthy of shaking your ass about and blaming someone else for a life of misery.
Your blues vocal is getting much better,as it will the more you experience life. So much more feeling than your younger vids. I would love to hear an original blues tune from you.
Macyn......very well done! Your voice sounds older than your age which is a good thing. That guitar is beautiful and perfect for this style of music. It is not easy to fingerpick and sing. Keep working hard....it is already paying off. God bless you young lady!
You make that sound so sweet.... I thank you from the bottom of my chicago heart....I now live outside the city of Chicago (born 1962] love the blues) but close enough to drive or take the train in to the city for a dose of the blues.... not many folks deliver the blues like you these days.... it’s nice to hear you and know your going to keep the really deep blues alive!
for me, this simple cover of Robert Johnson, which has been pretty faithfull to the original..is better than 99 percent of youtube shredders out there..real music
Nothing is better than anything in music... it's all subjective...this happens to appeal to you more...it does to me too...but a comparison between different genres is pointless
@@raindogred yes you're right. I would not have commented had you not used the word "real music". But you did. And also, what you said is not a "fact" for you, it's your opinion. Facts are not personal. For e.g. Speed metal is a genre of music (this is a fact). If you're opinion contradicts a fact then it's incorrect.
@@anirbanraha8952 wtf are you talking about genres..your having an argument with yourself. shredders aern't real music..they play wank guitar that needs distortion and effects. put an acoustic guitar in their hands--they are useless..not real musicians
That was an impressive rendition, Johnson is so difficult to play and your voice matches the song so well. I would pay to see you play.....lovely parlour guitar also!
I am impressed. You give me hope that if I worked hard at it, I might someday be able to play this kind of Robert Johnson-style complex picking: because I love it. Great job!
Sooper. Very sweet, and yet a bit raw (which it should be, it's the blues😉). Great guitar sound as well. The Robert Johnson who sold his sold his soul to the devil just heard an blues angel sing and a guitarist with a very secure hand. Cheers Finn
That's the best version. I've been trying to get people to play. but its always those other versions. You know. The easy versions. AND THIS IS easy. Excellent voice. Americas Got Talent Talent. Clap Clap Clap. ( insert standing ovation here) Yeah ! Whistles !
Its great that some young people are singing and playing the blues, there is hope for the world yet.

Didn’t blues come from Africa?
@@MrThedonhead African americans, yes.
I'm inclined to believe that C&W was a hybrid mix of English /Irish folk tunes and American blues. There are plenty of blues notes (flattened thirds and sevenths) in all American music. This very talented artist makes me happy with her embrace of this music.
True American music is the songs of the native tribes who were displaced by the white settlers. The blues were imported from Africa.
As a Chicagoan and Blues fan Well Done You Lady you make Robert Johnson Proud !
Very bluesy old school performance. The best version I've found.
I absolutely love the robert johnson pose in the beginning
Great catch
Her guitar work is always good but on Robert Johnson it's even better, and I love the way her voice comes to life when she sings the blues.
Robert Johnson is one of my heroes, and you did this song true justice...kudos
Girl, you done killed it old school. Respect.
I couldn't agree with you more. She slammed it right straight into the pocket!
what key is she playing this in ? and can we get her to tab ?
I think it's the key of e. looks like it to me.
Yes, key of E.
You must be fun at parties.
It is so gratifying to see that one of our national treasures, the blues, will live on....LOVE the guitar!
Excellent rendition. Very old blues school. Right feeling.Congratulations.
This is freakin` awesome.. I am an old time blues musician and this is gorgeous guitarplay and beautiful singing. GO GIRL!!
Great stuff --- she can play --- she can sing ---- blues are forever
Just wonderful .It's playing like this that reignites my passion for the raw gritty acoustic sound.Bravo!!
Cried like a child when I saw this. This young woman honors the genre. Must warm Rory Block's heart...
Oh my , wow !
Whgen you opened up with your vocals and delivered the entire package you sent chills through me !
You vibrato effect was spot on erily so !!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your stellar offering of Bob !!!!!!!
Wow that is fantastic. Fist acoustic blues in ages to completely captivate me. Loved it.
Fantastic, soulful talent. I admire your musical choices. Always enjoy your music and thanks for sharing It. It gives pleasure to many ears.
Really enjoyed this. Robert Johnson is the model for so many songs and this demonstrates his writing skill as it is so well played in the true spirit of Blues.
AWESOME. This is why the blues will live forever.
Thank you for this great cover , playing and singing. Really GREAT!
Gotta be one of the best versions I have heard and the tone of the guitar along with the excellent picking is something else.
Superbly performed and really very much like the original Robert Johnson version, definitely not the easier version that I do lol. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Love this, especially all the verses, could listen to this version all day- great job
This has to be the best acoustic version on youtube. Thank you for such a gift!!
