Hallo 2 Wheels. This movie is named Crossroads. I have the dvd if you want to know more of it give me a mail. It is a nice movie and there is a lot of nice music in it. In a nut shell the movie story is: a young classic guitar player is interested in blues. His teacher is mad ad him because he want him to play classic guitar. He think that Robbert Johnson has wright a song that was never hes been recorded.

Then he read in the newspaper that there was a blues harp player that was with Robbert and probable must know about that song!
This guy Willie Brown is in detention in a kind of old guy's prison faking he need a wheelchair, after killing a man. He want to escape to go back to his hometown. He is afraid to get dying before he gets his soul back. He told the young man that he will give him the 30e song of R J if he would help him escape of the hospital/prison. Together they go on the road an learn from each other.

The slide/blues guitar is from Ray Cooder.

Search Youtube for "Ry Cooder slide" and you'll be pleased... :lol:

The movie has been discussed on several forums. Most people find it a shame that he won with a classical music piece and not with Blues. Ralph learned guitar by a special method, at least he learned how to look like, but his slide parts were all actually played by Ry. There's a soundtrack CD available. The final duel was played by Steve (both parts).

I think Arlen Roth was the guy who taught Karate Kid to play for that movie.

Oh man - since this thread I'm totally into slide - just playing the main movie theme on open-D, first time ever. Haven't played standard tuning for 2 weeks now... :eye_rub:
Maybe I'll accidentally hit the record button... :think:

Not much happening there, imagine sitting somewhere down at the Mississippi on a hot summer evening. :snacks:
