I love the way you honor these older musicians Fil!
No problem!
Right? Just need some Rosetta Tharpe!
DITTO!
YES!!!!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙
Agree thanks. The Ash as well. And if not done already Skip James and Charlie Christian.
I met him when I was 2, and don't remember it! My Dad was a radio DJ and interviewed him in the Mississippi Delta on WDRU. My Dad loved him, so I do as well. I have met and saw BB and Albert many times before their deaths. Come to Cleveland, MS USA and vist the Grammy Museum and start your Path on the Mississippi Blues trail!.. See where BB, Albert, and Mr. Robert Johnson started. Just don't go in the summer. Cool days in summer are 95 degrees and humidity. October is nice.
Cool! Yeah I'm not good with heat!
If I ever get out of this place 🇬🇧, I'm heading straight for the Delta 😉👌
T-Bone Walker is awesome.
Amen!
Fact Check: TRUE
Like all genius level musicians, Chuck Berry fused his influences to create something greater than the sum of it’s parts. I can definitely hear T-Bone’s influence on him as well as that of Muddy Waters, the storytelling & humor of Louis Jordan, the diction of Nat King Cole, and of course boogie woogie & country music.
Great Jazzy sound . T Bone was one of the most sophisticated Blues players .
Famous for holding his guitar in that horizontal way .
The incredible lineup of jazz giants he's on stage with merit naming: Dizzy Gillespie, Teddy Wilson, Louis Bellson, Clark Terry, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, Jimmy Moody, Benny Carter and Bob Cranshaw.
There's not a lot of T Bone on video but you found a fantastic clip to illustrate his great talent and charisma. I regret I never saw him perform live. Thanks!
No problem!
One of my favourite guitarists, he had such a great style about him, maybe my first introduction to jazz via the blues. Always loved those 9th chord runs he used so much.
👍
He creates a 9th chord with the bass playing the root of the chord when he plays a half diminshed chord on the I chord, it completely blew my mind when I figured that out. Man was a genius
Great performer, his voice is as soulful as his guitar playing!
👍
Never heard of him ! Am glad I found this analysis as I am going through your catalog of videos!
The way he holds that guitar ! Crazy! And his playing / well it’s just incredible ! Plus add the voice! So talented ! It’s so smooth and enjoyable to watch and listen to ! Thanks !
I have been back tracking a little bit. I had to have a mass removed from my spine at the V.A hospital so I missed some videos. Fil my brother I am trying hard not to sound like a crazy fan here... lol however... I really want you to know that I was listening to your music while I was stuck in the hospital. I was able to introduce a lot of people to your music and it really helped me get through one of the darkest times of my life. Thank you for your time and talent . ROCK
Thanks! Good that you're back! 🤘
Best of luck with your back man - try to be brave....
Yes, uniqueone, Fil helps many of us get thru some dark days. I empathize, been in the hospital myself 4x the past month. His channel and overall personality as a whole is inspiring and motivating! Feel better soon!! And thanks Fil! My fav YT channel ever!
Hey Gwendoln thank you and the others. I was wanting to touch base just a little. I have had 10 total back surgeries so having this mass done wasn’t bad at all how ever cancer is getting me and I am having trouble dealing. I find myself smiling when look at Fils videos I realize that he managed to take my mind completely off of it... I did want to tell Gwen that my Service dog is a black lab
Hey brad thank you so much. It means a lot to me. ... Hey Fil I am sorry my post kinda got away from the music. I have to say that you have great amazing fans. Everyone has been really nice and wishing me well. Thank you again for the music and your well wishes. As you know I was in the usmc and I added a link last night to your channel in one of my posts. I woke this morning to a shit ton of marines telling me what a amazing musician and singer you are. They all love the fact you don’t use backup tracks.
Fil, I can tell when you really REALLY admire a guitarist. You look at T Bone like you look at Eddie Van Halen.
Hi. Simple suggestion. When you cover player it would be add birth year and death year. It would help establish a context. If they are still alive just birth year obviously. Really enjoyed T-Bone. Notice Dizzy Gillespie playing horn. I've been a Baha'i for 34 years. Dizzy became a Baha'i, I believe in the 50s. Oneness of humanity. Healing racism. Equality of women and men. Dizzy spread this positive message to players and audiences all over the world.
I was jamming some T-Bone Walker this morning. Crazy
Nice!
PHIL, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, T-BONE WAS THE MAN WHO CREATED A CERTAIN WAY OF PLAYING THE BLUES, A LIITLE DIFFERENT STYLE, STAGE ANTICS, SHOWMANSHIP, ECT. JIMI HENDRIX BORROWED SOME STAGE ANTICS, AND THINGS FROM HIM, AND OTHER PEOPLE TOO. BUT THAT IS HOW MUSIC EVOLVES, YOU HEAR SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND THEN YOU DO IT YOUR WAY.. IF THERE WAS NEVER A CHUCK BERRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL KEITH RICHARDS WOULD HAVE PLAYED IN HIS 55 YEAR CAREER, LOL, CHEERS, COUSIN FIGEL
Wow. I'd not heard him previously (to my knowledge). He's amazing.
👍
Recorded at Poplar Town Hall, can you believe.
Dizzy Gillespie is playing the trumpet in this one.
love T Bone's "Stormy Monday."
👍
What a gem! I first learned the name T-Bone Walker from Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, who grew up in Dallas TX, where T-Bone is from, and were exposed to his music at a very young age. T-Bone Walker influenced every electric blues player that followed, and I love that you’ve highlighted him for one of your videos.
Great to see a video highlighting Mr. T-Bone Walker. Was well-known and respected in his own era, but unfortunately his name not remembered among the great guitarist of 20th century often enough, as he probably deserves more to be. Love the video selection you used to highlight for this video I've watched this performance number of times myself.
Seems remarkable to me that T-Bone, (although a multi-instrumentalist) said in an interview his primary instrument was banjo until his later twenties, if I remember correct he said 27 or 28 years old, when he switched over predominately to electric guitar at that point.
He plays like he came out of the womb playing his entire life.
Great video!
T Bone has such stage presence, he delights in what he is doing and hlps us delight in it. Like BB he's a great and hugely influential guitarist, a great singer,, and most of all a great entertainer! Have always loved his jazzy single notes lines.
Aaron T-Bone Walker, as greatas ANY guitarist you can name. T Bone was playing guitar with his teeth and tongue in the 1930s! Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, BB King, Duane Allman, Steve Miller.....any body who's picked up a guitar in the last 9 decades IS inspired by T-Bone !!!!!!!!!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan my brother loved T Bone Walker he was from Oak Cliff Texas . ❤❤ Stevie named his Dog T Bone.
Yes. Fil. The lines. You hear so many players when you hear T-Bone. He got so many people to put a guitar in their hands. I hear him. I hear Chicago. Great pick Fil. Nice job as always
Thanks!
What I love about the old school blues musicians is less is more. Produces music that affects me emotionally like no other form of music.
Yep!
Much as I love T-Bone, I have always preferred Chuck-Steak Finkelstein, the accordion guy.
No problem!
He is not so much performing the music as he is a real part of it. Not all musicians can be a real part of the music, he just radiates the sound. Another great one Fil. Check out Tommy Tedesco . You probably Know him as part of the Wrecking crew.
Thanks!
Check out Skywalker Airlines as well, and the documentary Ghengis Blues if you want to see an incredible story about Paul Pena. Two of my favorite musicians.
Bravo.... My personal favorite, swing blues....ooh yea. 😉
paying homage to the "fore fathers" of guitar players. Blues needs to be much more main stream in my opinion. Not enough of it on the radio!!
I agree.
I was listening to some T Bone Walker yesterday and wondered if you had done an analysis video .. Superb Fil 👍
Hey Fil... thank you for another great video buddy.
No problem!
It maybe just a Texas story, but I heard that young DougSahm had taken lessons from T Bone!
T-bone Walker was a god. Often imitated but never duplicated.
Brilliant review. T-Bone Walker was the real blues deal. Can see how Chuck and BB owe so much to him. By the way, *Mr . Pegasus* , there's this one guy on TH-cam who is able to make a Fender Telecaster sing the Blues to die for (would be interested in your take on him). Here it is: "Blues with a Nashville Telecaster" th-cam.com/video/lNff70fqLm8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
you bet -
Take a look at Otis Rush "I can't quit you, Babe" Right up there with this.
His licks are "comfort food". He also has the worlds greatest back-up band: Gerald Wilson, Dizzy, Clarke Terry, James Moody, Al Cohn, Chuck Rainey, Louis Belson(?)
👍
His feel and interpretation of the groove is another great and rare lesson😍
Stevie Ray Vaughan was from Thibeaux's part of town: Oak Cliff, in Dallas. Also, T-bone showed Steve Miller how to play behind his back, as the story goes.
Yeah!
Years ago, I saw an interview with B.B. King where he was talking about his musical influences when he was young. He joked that he loved T-Bone Walker's playing so much that "If I'd have been a girl, I would've tried to marry him!" Now that's a union absolutely nobody wants to picture in their mind, so try to concentrate on the musical legacy both of them left behind for all of us. You'll thank me later.
The outtro lick on "Hots On For Nowhere" by Led Zep is a straight T Bone lick.
👍
Smooth as butter. Love the way these guys make their guitars talk. Good to see you go back to where it all began and another great analysis
Thanks!
I enjoyed this so much. I'm definitely going to playback through tull performance from your link. I love knowing what to look for beyond what I'd notice on my own, Fil! Thanks!
No problem L
Hi Fil,
Does T-Bone have proper guitar face? lol
Such a special and amazing talent Thank you Fil
@Wings of Pegasus - Great Fil! I am impressed that you not only know the technique, but also the history, and somehow find the time to play yourself. Much respect for you.
Thanks Robert!
Thibeaux was 55 years young doing this. He used to have Blind Lemon Jefferson over for dinner as a kid, so he listened to some good guitarists as a kid. Did he write Stormy Monday?
Yes that's right ☺
If I ever start a band, there is DEFINITELY gonna be horns!!
😂👍
Great review, Fil! T Bone dripped with soul and swagger. Love it!
Thanks!
Pamela Fradette emergency blues🚑
Really smooth all the way around .
👍
Still loving your sense of history. Right before you said it I was thinking, "He has Chuck Berry type moves/showmanship". Hey, I've been looking at a new young artist that I believe was mentored some by B.B. King, so is part of T-Bone's legacy. Learned to play at the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi, just a hop skip and a jump south of B.B.'s home in Memphis--and not too far as the crow flies from where I was born and raised. Christone "KINGFISH" Ingram--plays mostly blues, but does a guitar version of "Purple Rain" that climaxes nicely--check him out if you haven't already.
Man, Kingfish... that kid can tear up a guitar. He sings and plays like he's already lived 80 years.
I've seen him before! Plays like a seasoned blues veteran! He's good!👍😎🎸🎶
Cool! Thanks!
Great suggestion!
Fil has excellent analysis….picks out stuff you may not have noticed, because details matter.
You can go straightaway to a favorite painting in a museum, but have missed a finer point that a master can show you.
Share these Fil lessons with budding musicians in your life. Use the Share Arrow above to forward in an email. Hats off for Fil, he’s providing wonderful enjoyment, like he does with his own guitar.
Thanks!
Nice to see T-Bone Walker, feature on Your channel. the band did a great job on harmonizing their sound. dig Your analysis Fil,
Thanks Drew!
Big Bill Broonzy had hands the size of baseball gloves!
Looks like Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet.
Great groove and voice. Sounds like he had a major influence on SRV too
👍
I think they were both from the same town in Texas so yeah definitely an influence! Oak Cliff???
mystic number national bank beautician blues
Just,,,,,WOW!!!!! There's just no beating the sound of the blues is there.
Luv this you recognize the oldies
Yesss the great T-Bone Walker..a huge influence on Chuck Berry...a very very fine player..lots of natural feel and emotion in his playing.great stuff!
👍
OMG--had me from the first measure--So sublime!
👍
Those lucky people in the audience!
It all goes back to T-Bone. Chuck Berry and B B King "borrowed" his licks and you can even hear his influence on players like Link Wray. If you want to play the Blues, you've got to listen to him and steal some of those licks!
you need to do a show on Lighting Hopkins,
Ojojoj!!!
Love it where rock ripped the blues
Hi Phil
I have always really enjoyed your videos very much.
I have noticed that you have spread out the scope a little recently, which I think is terrific.
BTW T-Bone wrote Stormy Monday!! A blues standard if ever there was one
Yep!
Fantastic! Dig those squares in the Brit audience daddyo....
😂👍
stevie ray walker, t bone berry,
Another great artist choice Fil. Another solid commentary.
Thanks!
Thank you Brits!
My dog tbone the goat no one can touch this man
And the songs he wrote I believe Stormy Monday was one of the most reproduced. Excellent tune
Find some Slim Gaillard. Jazz guitarist and pianist, hipster-the real item, not some nerdy white boy with an anemic beard-, comedian, longest fingers this side of Robert Johnson, may have been as big an influence on other guitarists as T-bone and Sister Rosetta. By the way, read some article that said that Simon Cowell didn't like you. I can't remember the name of anybody who ever won on one of his shows but I remember the names of lots of musicians.
Yeah I went on one of his shows, caused a bit of a fuss, and now anytime the footage is shown he has to pay me royalties as he doesn't own my music!
All right!
I think he kicks up the guitar like a steal guitar so he can free up his lead hand. Thanks for sharing this!
Another good one Fil, excellent choice and review. Thanks
Thanks!
Nice semi hollow body electric guitar.
Fil Chuck Berry had his 1st hit in 1953, search on TH-cam Chuck Berry on TV 1958, this a TV show where he played and not lip synced, pretty amazing analysis of course Fil, Jeff in LA USA
I don't know why this is just coming to my attention. But excellent choice. I love the old delta blues players who started it all. You might also try Son House. Maybe Prison Letter Blues.
Edit: Oh. I see now. I just saw the Oct 17. Didn't notice that it was two years ago.
My goodness, that T-Bone Walker is GOOD! I profess my ignorance about him. For one thing, I always got him confused with T-Bone Burnett and probably other T-Bones. But this cat is the real thing.
fil is apparently a lotr fan
Smooth as a fine scotch. I think I’ll go get one while I listen to the rest of this video.
👍
Thanks Fil an artist I’ve always heard of. Thanks to this fine channel now I see why.
No problem!
Anybody that influenced Duane Allman is aces to me.
👍
Really good, he has a great style and very tasty playing that is natural.. the whole band is good
👍
Post was Father of Urban Blues. Influenced many more than bb and chuck. Thanks!
Want to know who inspired all the great Blues players of the 30's thru late 60? Take a look at Blind Lemon Jefferson, who came out of Texas and was the 1st Black Male Blues Guitarist to ever be recorded, I believe in 1928. T-Bone who also came out of Dallas Texas was hired to help Blind Lemon get around and by doing so learned all his licks and style, that's why T-Bone flips his Guitar up when playing. Anyways man check him out
I was up late watching the Mike Bloomfield story last night. T-Bone playing was clearly a big influence on Bloomfield.
Sooo smooth and easy!
I was thinking, T-Bone has that same clear voice the Bobby Blue Bland had, before cigarettes and all wore it out. I don't think T-Bone lost the quality of his voice.
Damn, that tone!!!!!
Just imagine this guy didn’t start playing electric guitar until he was 30 years old. Mind blowing
Tbone was a huge inspiration to Little Richard as well. Lucille,,,,,is a TBone riff
I was hoping you were going to demonstrate some of those T bone licks, but it's still a great video from you as always. Thanks
Great find Fil. As a teenager, the Allmans version of Stormy Monday was my introduction to the blues.
LeoK turned me on to finger picking and was my inspiration to pick up the guitar.

Your Welcome. Love your channel. I have been reminiscing some of my early acoustic heroes quite alot lately. GlenC, Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges and John Fahey (who I got to see live in the 70's). JohnF was the aloof genius... I really get lost in his playing, like a mantra of sorts. Thx.

I enjoy your videos so much! And learn a lot!
👍
Hi Can I leave here a sugestion to a reaction: The master of Fado Guitar Carlos Paredes - Song 'Verdes Anos Live at Coliseu' . Thanks a lot and please continue!
Thanks!
He plays and sings so well.
Fil...yet ANOTHER good review! T-Bone Walker was one of the all-time greats! I’ve been listening to his guitar playing for years, and it NEVER gets old. Everything he ever played sounds as FRESH today as on the day he recorded it, and not many guitar players can claim that!
👍🏼👍🏼 Yeah man! I have Sony's 100 year collectors set. It starts in 1912 with the blues. I was born in the wrong era.
Do you have this collection Fil?
Cool! No I don't!
