I love this Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey (formerly known as the excellent blues piano player "Georgia Tom" in a less pious previous life) piece. It appears to be fairly straightforward, but there is in fact a fair amount of movement going on and it's heavily swung and syncopated rhythmically, so make sure you catch the bass notes in the right way to tap into that laid back gospel guitar groove. The first variation requires a bit of dexterity in the left hand what with the G chord played in a full C position, a descending bass note pattern (from G down to Am), followed by sliding up to the 12th fret to catch the melody an octave higher.
