  Cocaine Blues

This is a song by Gary Davis, but I think the tab I used was based on Dave von Ronks version. Anyway, the intro is a pretty messed up, but the verses are cleaner. I picked the tempo up as much as I could without sounding awful. I really like to play fingerpicking stuff by Davis, and Mississippi John Hurt, and Blind Blake. I tried to sing, hope its not too bad. I think the tuning should be a little better, since its just one guitar (track). Thanks for the comments from everyone on my first post.

Nice playing, but it sounds like you recorded it way too hot- all those pops and clicks indicate clipping. Remember that with digital recording you can always increase your volume to where you want it, but you really can't remove clipping.

I dig that early blues soundin' stuff.

Nice one jwgealt, improving all the time .... sounds like you hit the mic a few times or you've got some kind of short happening there.

Nice job!

The recording is a little rough, but the performance was good.

Your playing is great and your voice and singing style suit the song.
