Candy Man Blues is one of Mississippi John Hurt's better known tunes, but there really isn't a whole lot of folks who actually play it. I've also noticed there isn't a whole lot of emphasis on teaching it either (and honestly from what I've seen the folks who do teach it are missing a few of the finer points that make this guitar masterpiece what it is). So here's my best effort to show you how to get your hands around a tune like Candy Man Blues, using his 1928 recording debut as our reference.
The tab for this tune, as well as a pile of other inspiring early guitar pieces are available over on my Patreon.

Great tutorial Kyle, I love this one and managed to nail it a while back. I play it regular so I don’t forget it! 😁👌

Thanks John! Excellent! Yeah I also have to keep this one under my fingers regularly so not to loose it too. He just does so many odd-ball things you don't find in most pieces. Glad to know you're ripping it!

Love this, remember hearing this when first getting into country blues guitar 25 years ago, had seen Gary Davis doing an instrumental version of his candy man blues( totally different song of course) on one of Stefan Grossmans Videos , went searching for a version with singing, and accidentally found this, such a light bulb moment, and still one of my favourite tunes to play

Yeah it’s so good! Rev’s candy man is also amazing. I’m gonna do his one of these times too. Makes your head spin trying to do what he does. Thanks for saying hey!

I prefer his 1965 live version .He seems to have changed the E7 at 5.55 in your video to an E -still D shape - that gives a brighter feel to the progression

Interesting! I’ll have to revisit that one. Thanks!

Well all you ladies gather 'round That good sweet candy man's in town It's the candy man It's the candy man He likes a stick of candy just nine inch long He sells as fast a hog can chew his corn It's the candy man All heard what sister Johnson said She always takes a candy stick to bed Don't stand close to the candy man He'll leave a big candy stick in your hand He sold some candy to sister Bad The very next day she took all he had If you try his candy, good friend of mine You sure will want it for a long long time His stick candy don't melt away It just gets better, so the ladies say [What? He’s the Candy Man!]
