You Gotta Move (Cover) by Fred McDowell

I made this video while I was taking the Blues Immersion Course. It was also an opportunity to record my new ‘Reso-gator’.

Thanks!

Very nice performance Mark. I didn’t know the song but I liked it right away. Guitar sounds nice and I see you have a video of the build, so I must try to get around to looking at that soon.

Thanks John, Justin made a lesson for the song which is how I came upon it.

That sounded great Mark. That is the sound I aspire to get out the resonator I bought after vacation this spring.

Love the sound of your guitar! Really made to play the blues! And what a great tune to play on it, and so well performed! I vaguely remember having seen the tutorial when it was released and for reasons I do not remember never watched it. Silly me mising out. Its on my bucket list now.

Thanks Molly, it is a good song to start learning slide guitar.

A real bluesy performance Mark, I much enjoyed it! I also love the sound of your guitar and I agree with Molly @MollyT it sounds like it was especially made to play the Blues!

Fabulous Mark. I didn’t know that Fred McDowell was the original artist. OK had to google and it is more traditional first popularised by McDowell and then the Stones who included it on Sticky Fingers.

Thanks Silvia, I have really been enjoying it.

Thanks David! It’s funny, I did not remember the Stones doing the song. I just had to look it up on YouTube.

Nicely played and sung. Excellent work on the resonator!

Thanks Robert!

Not surprising Mark, after all they’ve recorded so many (memorable as well as not). I know it well because mostly when I listen to the Stones, it is to those 4 great studio albums from what I (and I think others) consider to be their finest hours: Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street, which I cap with the live Get Yer Ya Yas Out. I am old school and like to listen to whole albums start to finish as produced. I can’t actually recall if You Gotta Move is on that live set.
