This is my cover of Robert Johnson's song Walkin' Blues. I played it in a way as Eric Clapton did on MTV Unplugged in 1992 (his version is actually based on Muddy Waters' song I feel like going home). The guitar is tuned to an open G tuning (D, G, D, G, H, D) and I used Jim Dunlop's glass slide nr. 212 (it fits very nicely to my pinky). Recording and mixing was done in Cubase 7. The video was shot with Canon EOS 650d camera using 50mm f/1.8 lens and edited in Sony Vegas Pro.

Robert Johnson is one of the greatest blues musicians of all time. Legend has it that he took his guitar to the crossroads of Highways 49 and 61 in Clarksdale, Mississippi where the devil retuned his instrument in exchange for his soul. He returned with a formidable technique and a mastery of the blues... He recorded Rambling on my mind on November 23, 1936 in San Antonio (Texas).
