Here's Olestale Sox playing "Spike Driver Blues" on my Seagull Grand Artist parlor guitar.  It's on my profile page with some other rough demos.  Give it a listen...

Adam Traum is certainly not steering you wrong. Pick up the DVD or download the lesson Homespun put together featuring Happy Traum and John Sebastien teaching John Hurt tunes. These are two guys who knew him and they do a great job of brining his music and personality to the project. (Personally I think the story Sebastien relates about how his 60's group got its name is worth the price alone - but then I'm not well).

If you go to youtube, there are some old black and white videos of John Hurt playing. You can learn a lot of his fingerstyle just rewinding over and over. I'm wishing he was still on tour.

Mr. Traum speaks the truth. Those lessons are clear & insightful.

Not that I'm biased or anything, but here's a great resource for playing in the style of Mississippi John from Homespun:

Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop, Patrick..for John Hurt techniques

Homespun has some good tutorial on John Hurt styles. There's also some good teaches on youtube. If you are in Salt Lake area, I teach out of The Acoustic Musician store. I have some videos on www.reverbnation.com/patrickmcewen not great for teaching though.

Anybody know of any resources/media to learn style of Mississippi John Hurt? I like his laid-back Country style!
