Bob Dylan's "Mississippi" added to the Songs to Learn List

I will be picking up the guitar a little more often now that I have curtailed my running activities a bit.  I spent some time yesterday evening playing the couple of songs I (sort of) know.

I'm posting this YouTube video here because I came across it while looking up different version of Bob Dylan's song, "Mississippi".  I am finally becoming familiar with some of Dylan's songs and I first heard an acoustic version of this one back in January and just really fell in love with it.  I love the sound.  I love the bluesy feel.  I love the imagery.  In fact, it strikes such a chord with me that I have plans to speak about the song in one of my other blogs:  Digging Deeper

At any rate, I was excited to come across this video series, in which this guy goes through how to play the song.  I wanted to link it here to may sure that I can find it easily again.



And here is a copy of the version that really does it for me for your listening pleasure:
