Nothin' feels more like Summertime than grabbin' an acoustic guitar, sitting down by the edge of the lake, and fingerpicking some good old, laid-back, country blues. This new P20E Parlor guitar from PRS Guitars is perfect for that backporch tone and feel, and I tuned the strings down to a drop-C tuning to give them a slinky bluesy touch.

I've always loved R. L. Burnside's "Poor Boy a Long Way from Home" and have been getting a lot of requests for a cover of it. R.L.'s fingerpicking style is so percussive and rhythmic, so when I adapted the tune for slide guitar, I knew I'd have to keep that solid rhythm as the foundation of the song. Hope you dig it.

Mississippi John Hurt and Elizabeth Cotten are two of my favorite ragtime fingerpickers, so I wanted to pay a little tribute to their influence with this medley of "Make me a Pallet on Your Floor" by John Hurt and "Freight Train" by Elizabeth Cotten. I recorded it on this cool old "Unicon" Archtop guitar, which has a beautiful, dry, vintage tone... perfect for that old blues ragtime feel! | Justin Johnson

I’ve been really diggin’ this new “Blue Gc-CM 12” 12-String from Furch Guitars. It’s very easy to play for a 12-string and the tone is punchy, well-balanced, and full. I also like that it has a cutaway, which is great for playing this kind of 12-string lead, but also great for when you want to double parts with a high capo to fatten up strumming arrangements in the studio. For this arrangement of Little Wing, I tuned the 12-string down a whole step, which gives the guitar a slinky, bluesier tone
