I've been meaning to attend the 4th-of-July-weekend festival for the last couple of years, but haven't made it yet. Doesn't look good for this year either, but there's still hope.

GUEST, I learned "Spike Driver Blues" from published tablature years ago. It was very probably either an Oak Publications book or one of Stephen Grossman's many excellent instructional works. That much info should help you launch a successful Google search. Everything by Grossman is now available in DVD-plus-booklet format, and he does teach a lot of the MJH repertoire. If "Spike Driver" is not one of the songs he teaches, I know I learned it from some printed source, and if not SG then it was probably Oak; I don't know if all their stuff has been updated to video.

Cpt Birdeye's simple summation is correct as it stands, but you probably need more detail ~ I certainly would. For what is essentially a one-chord song, this number is pretty complicated, or at least subtle.

I haven't seen the YouTube video. If it focuses on the left hand throughout, you might be able to learn everything you need to know.
