Man, this video takes me back. Can't believe it's been over 10 years. I appreciate you posting it, dude.

What an iconic episode. It changed my life 10 years ago and made me fall in love with playing hill country blues. I had always loved listening to it since the first time I heard Chulahoma, but goddamn it's so cathartic to play. Open tune to G and crank up the reverb.

LOVE Dan & Black Keys GEEKED OUT ON EVERY PART of this interview. I have 99% of albums. So talented ❤ Love you Sweeny

The actual tunings are half a step down from what they show on screen. When it says "Open D" at 0:52 it's actually open C# (C#-G#-C#-F-G#-C#) and "Open G" at 9:03 really means open F# (C#-F#-C#-F#-A#-C#). And yes, I know the F in open C# is technically an E#, please don't send Adam Neely or Threatening Music Notation after me. So great to see this video back up!

[LieLikesMusic]

YESSS. My favorite interview. The way Dan makes fun of the show name and Sweeny's insecurity with the slide... It makes me laugh every time. Good stuff guys. Love Black Keys as well.
