I think this might be the guitar which Dweezil bought. Really cracking version of Blind Blake's Rag, faster than other versions I've heard and even though it's not the full version it's still enjoyable to watch/listen.

Certainly is a bit fast ewh, which for me spoils the feel of the piece. Certainly well played and sounding good though, and thanks for reminding me to revisit the tune! Keith

The guy playing Blind Blake's Rag in the video would have got it from Ralph McTell's first LP. That's the best version I've heard.

This is the Ralph McTell version.
It's wonderful.

Agree with that alright earwighoney - Ralph's BB Rag is superb - I spent most of the summer of 1969 learning it from his first LP Eight Frames a Second (1968) - mostly by playing the 33rpm LP at 16rpm. Happy days. Keith
