Prayer Of Death Part 1 - Charley Patton

Описание: 01. Prayer Of Death Part 1 by Charley Patton

It's been almost ten years since I put out some Patton Covers on YouTube under the name Charley Hicks, I originally intended to do the few that I could roughly play and just put em out as a tribute to the legend.

Long story short, I did all 58 songs as best as I could...then I deleted em, then the hard drive I stored them on blew up... I lost myself back too then with a combination of lack of confidence in music, my health and working night shifts in the motor trade... 10 years on, I'm back playing music full time, but also with the added knowledge of my recent diagnosis of Becker Muscular Dystrophy.

I am doing well now as I'm on a clinical drug trial but I'm very aware that due to my muscle disease, someday I won't be able to do this anymore, so I want to have them recorded to remember this time when I could, and I hope it helps others in some way learn some of this amazing man's music as over the years I've heard from many of you, so I'll post a breakdown / lesson video for each of them a couple days after the main video.

I'm fairly confident with Patton's slide stuff tho I'll not be trying to copy every song note for note, especially the standard tuning stuff cause my hand muscles just ain't the same as they used to be, but this ones fairly simple and repetitive so I tried to emulate it as much as I know it, couple of hic ups but I'm really happy with it, especially my voice nowadays.

Tuning : Open G (Capo 2nd fret so Open A)
Guitar : Mule No' 42 (Steel Single Cone) with Elixir Nano Web 12's
Slide : Square Amps Resin Slide
Video : iPhone 12 Pro Max
Mic : iPhone 12 audio from the video blended with a Audio Technica AT2020 condenser mic

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to it, but it feels great to be back alongside m health.

Hope it helps !
