Great playing and great tone. Can you give us the details on your equipment setup? What kind of mic and was this direct or through an amp?

You know - watching a guy in his kitchen playing to the pots and pans, or his bedroom or his living room - well it is a strike against any video. And I confess that many of the videos here have me clicking away long before the end, out of boredom or pain.
But not this one. I agree with the above comments about making it your own - great playing. I watched it until the end. Kept waiting for you to get to Michael Jackson's Off The Wall part ;)
Seriously, Hakan - nice work. I hope you're getting some chances to play live!
I have played this for a while at blues jams with guitar players doing their solos between the "Juke" and "Off the Wall" parts and it works good. This tempo 170 bpm according to my recording equipment is OK for me. If I play it faster I would have to simplify some things. I think the two first rounds make a strong start with inspiration from Georg Harmonica Smith's version that was posted here on this forum. And the sparkling ending from "Off the Wall" could probably be played 3-4 times with some variation.
Info from the youtube video:
