One of the best tutors on TH-cam, gets his point across and in a humble way and covers artists that many don't, once again Adrian a much appreciated lesson.
Content aside for a moment (which is just excellent) what I like most about Adrian is how interesting and watchable his lessons are and his humble presentation in a wonderfully refreshing, 'I'm not full of my own importance' kind of way. Vastly accomplished player with a totally viewer centric delivery of content and never feeling he has anything to prove. Excellent! OK, you can all breathe now 🤣🤣🤣
I got into the blues in the mid 70s, and from there I never stopped listening....I think real blues needs that home grown grit of a live performance...not the overprocessed music of all genres today...Thank you for your lessons over the years.
It's not what it was at all. Same for punk, same for motown music. You get the occasional one or two but times have not moved on. These genres were defined by the period they are from. You cannot recreate a moment in time accurately and the genre know as blues is not just a tribute to that era. You get bands who do it in a unique and graceful way like The Kills but the Blues bands you hear now are just too produced and their members grew up in houses and apartments not plantations. Like punk, it was a moment in time not a genre of music as such. It was a movement not a style.
@@markwright-c1o Spot on. That's why the best modern artists like Gary Clark, Jackie Venson, and whatever other bands travelling I have no idea exist always find their own ways to innovate and respect the history and create something new with that creative spirit.
Yes, I totally agree, there are almost no accurate Howlin wolf lessons on TH-cam. I guess the sound is kind of hard to replicate, but I wish someone would do it. I have tried many times and I got close with a few songs. The same goes for Muddy Waters (except amazing Tom Feldmann lesson on Guitar Workshop but he focuses on an early Muddy Waters sound and not the sound of his full band during the biggest fame). The thing with Adrian is that he can hear so many details in songs that no other else on YT seems to be able to do. Even if I know a song before his lesson I am amazed at how many new tricks I always learn.
I agree with you Adrian. The Blues as a musical form was so organic and rooted in a culture of hardship and marginalization. Its hard for modern artists to connect to that raw feel and energy that came from that experience. I echo the desire for you to do a Lighting Hopkins lesson sometime.
The Hendrix version was my first time with this song as well. BBC Sessions I believe. I appreciate your lessons/teaching style thanks for covering a great classic!
Very well and clearly presented! This is a no-nonsense tutorial on the Sumlin-esque approach which was so well 'appropriated' by Mr Page, and so deeply ingrained in our culture as to show up in the end credits of The Ren and Stimpy show! :)
I’ve been frustrated with the progress of my guitar learning venture so much so that I stop and start; there were long pauses, and then I stumble across you channel. I’m thoroughly enjoying your lessons, and I’m learning with confidence. Thank you from down under.
Hubert played in the Village (NYC) one night and hired this girl I knew to play piano-When we went to meet him backstage he said "oh good, you're gonna tinkle for me tonight ,right"? and she did. I love that you have the lesson "chapterized" so we can zoom to a specific part! I wish YOU had done that tape where Hubert teaches his songs with Jimmy Vivino-You're WAY better of a teacher!
I’ve been listening to Hubert and Wolf for many years and I have to say your a very good teacher , I discovered you about 9 years ago doing a mas qua nada number keep up the good work RRRRRRKID 🤙
Yet another outstanding tutorial on an absolute classic!! And I have to agree with you that, blues music being all about authenticity and raw energy (that raw quality that punk rock and blues share), the modern blues player obsession with virtuosity and perfection is totally absurd. Fortunately there are still a few blues musicians out there who understand this.
Love your take on this here! I saw Howling Wolf and immediately thought HUBERT SUMLIN! One of my favorite guitarists and amazing my Abby Normal brain recalled his name… anyway you pulled some authentic tones out here and what an important lesson. Thank you and ‘love your channel 🙏
It's a personal taste thing... I can be amazed at somebody like Joe Bonomassa with his chops and skill set, yet really just not like it. For me, it's just too shreddy for blues. Now, when he is purposefully copping somebody's style (like Albert King or Clapton) hes much more listenable. It's always a happy day when Adrian blesses us with some Blues we can use!!! He's the man (no I'm not an attorney).
I’ve been on a howlin wolf kick lately. Gotta transpose these songs with no help like The Rolling Stones did but thank you for your input my brother keep it up. You have good production skills
Great lesson...would love to see more howlin wolf lessons. The album real folk blues is worth to get if you don't have it already...also john lee hooker has an unbelievable album under same title, real folk blues👍💪
I think to make this song really work you need the 2nd guitar part playing the ascending bass riff underneath the descending sliding 6ths.
I do this by sliding an Ab up to an A (1st fret to 2nd fret) on the D,G B strings Followed by single string A string 4th fret , 5th fret, 6th 7th fret. Notes C#, D, D#, E And then moving that whole pattern up 5 frets for the IV chord.
Wonderful guitar work, as always, Adrian. I'm bettin' Hubert never got within arms reach of a nice LP like that one...he did well with what was at hand.
I'm with you I get tired of guys showing off their chops and missing the real feeling part. I love what Jimmy Page did with killing floor. I don't know what is about the way Page played back then but it really hits me.
How about covering the stumble and hide away to, those are my other favorite tunes also besides this one you covered great video thank you for posting it
Hey Adrian awesome video! Speaking of blues you should learn the live magic sam’s boogie and make a tutorial. Shit is tough! Good stuff as always keep it up!
If you want to get th sound you have to use a cheap Italian Bartolini or Echo with lots of plastic Pearl and push buttons. I saw Howlin Wolf and Hubert Sumlin and it was just the two them and that’s the guitar he played and he was amazing. Not an expensive LP. Love your vids though.
This guy can play anything; with finesse! Superb equipment on hand; Pauls, Teles, Strats, Fender, Vox, Marshall, the list goes on... Sure, he's weird (lol) but we love him (Biblical sense...) and his incredible range of quality music adventures. All in fun Pink (which one's Pink...)! Rock on! 🤘
@@ethanc1719 Just an attempt at a humorous remark... Angus said he was considered weird growing up; hell, it sure fits today with the school boy uniform... What a duo; Johnson screaming the lyrics and Young with the ability to play both rhythm and lead... Anyway, just a passing thought; wish I was weird if that's what it takes; lol! 🎸
You know what doesn't have a million tutorial videos... sonic reducer by the dead boys. There's almost no videos and the three or four that do exist are terrible.
I think the tone on the play through was nice and very close to the original, but I agree that Adrian could have played clean in the tutorial part. Still worth 20 minutes of my time, I have to say.
The Small Speaker Overdrive from Great Eastern Effects, nice high end, not too harsh and breaks up just nicely - great for vintage blues kinda sounds. Inspired, bit like a decent quality boost really, with eq on an amp sky's the limit.

Couldn't have put it better, agree with all you stated.

Your spot on about modern blues being over produced and over played. I just can’t listen to it either. Thanks for the lesson much appreciated.
Cheers Jon, glad you liked the lesson!
Totally agree, blues is about the groove first, playing second. The technique has to be in service to the vibe.
It's not what it was at all. Same for punk, same for motown music. You get the occasional one or two but times have not moved on. These genres were defined by the period they are from.

The Blues needed this tutorial. Respectfully demanding you now teach the entire Sumlin/Wolf catalogue, please, thank you.

Killer job. You really nailed the tone!
I saw Hubert Sumlin play at the Chicago Blues Festival in 2005. He was the epitome of cool. Great lesson!
I’m with you on the modern blues. Good video, thanks!

You and joe Murphy are the only guitar tutors I need!
this is one of the first blues number I ever learned when I was starting out, back in the 80s!!
Spot on lesson, thank you! Antonio, 32, Brazilian long haul truck driver.
Love the wolf. Great choice. Lightning Hopkins is my personal fave if you were to do a lesson on one of his songs I’d appreciate it.

A classic track! Thanks for sharing!
The end theme "Big house blues" of Ren and Stimpy cartoon is also derived from KF , very close, think jazzed up Killing Floor .
Absolutely with you on modern blues and virtuosity (massively overrated in my opinion). Loving your work Adrian and superb music choices 👍
It's a personal taste thing... I can be amazed at somebody like Joe Bonomassa with his chops and skill set, yet really just not like it. For me, it's just too shreddy for blues. Now, when he is purposefully copping somebody's style (like Albert King or Clapton) hes much more listenable.
It's always a happy day when Adrian blesses us with some Blues we can use!!! He's the man (no I'm not an attorney).
Yeah, that was a great summary on last generations of bluesmen.
You conservative throwbacks would be amusing if you weren't intent on dragging everyone else into the cave with you.
Clearly, we need to hear more of you on your les Paul. Outstanding!
Jimi Hendrix's cover of this song is insane.
Absolutely! Killing floor and Driving South were always my favorites from The Experience BBC Sessions CD. Amazing stuff
Yes, it's awesome - that would be a whole other lesson, maybe I should attempt it!
@@acpg please do I can't find any TH-cam video teaching it
The soloing in Wolf’s Spoonful is the summit of the blues mountain
Your lessons are always great Adrian!
Fabulous party piece & workout for guitar, amp & player. Worth a Beefheart, Waits, Wolf sing-a-long too.
So glad you did this one! Thanks for this 🤠
You have excellent taste my friend.
Yeah my first exposure was the Jimi Plays Monterrey version too. Great lesson and great song!
Well done, excellent lesson. Thanks.
awesome Adrian. Thank you!
Thank you, Adrian! That Les Paul is a stunner!
Outstanding choice of song as always ♠️♥️
Absolute killer Adrian, blues as it should be!
OMG. Best channel on the Internet.
Really like you demos , young man!!....This one is particularly interesting and presented as always with a great enthusiasm for the genre!!✌🔊🎸🤗
Great Channel!! I always learn something after watching…👍
Nice Les Paul Adrian - love Howlin' Wolf!
Absolutely fantastic as always mate. I’m off to Patreon.
Brilliant Adrian. Thanks.
I’ve been on a howlin wolf kick lately. Gotta transpose these songs with no help like The Rolling Stones did but thank you for your input my brother keep it up. You have good production skills
way toooo advanced for me, but your lessons are always great to hear Adrian, and this is GREAT music!
Stick with it, the ideas here will open doors for you.

Thanks Adrian.
Very nice man thankyou, I’ll check out your Patreon now. 👍
thanks for your choice!
Michael Bloomfield did KILLING FLOOR, with Al cooper
Great lesson, all about the feel! Completely unrelated to this song but would love to see you do a lesson on Pink Frost by The Chills!
Great style!
Electric Flag with Michael Bloomfield
I'm with you I get tired of guys showing off their chops and missing the real feeling part. I love what Jimmy Page did with killing floor. I don't know what is about the way Page played back then but it really hits me.
Thank you
Good one I wish I could learn some techniques
Killer tone man
How about covering the stumble and hide away to, those are my other favorite tunes also besides this one you covered great video thank you for posting it
Adrian doing a blues standard? Oh hell yes! Thank you. May I have another?!
Great tone :)
THANKS..!! Last couple of blues bar bands I played bass in..we did this one.. Now I can play the guitar on it..!👍🏼
Wondrous!✨✨
Great video. Comments at the end made me laugh🤣, but I hope you pick up some more Patreon subs.
Hey Adrian awesome video! Speaking of blues you should learn the live magic sam’s boogie and make a tutorial. Shit is tough! Good stuff as always keep it up!
Oh yeah!
I was listening to Radiohead and found there's a song called 'anyone can play guitar'. Couldn't be coincidence 🙂
HEY!! Do “you were on my mind”
By the We Five !! Thank you
what's up with the jewel light on the deluxe? oh, nice vid, thx!
Nice!
Good video!!
Can you please do Over the Wall or The Killing moon (both lead guitar lessons) by Echo and The Bunnymen pleasssse¿?
If you want to get th sound you have to use a cheap Italian Bartolini or Echo with lots of plastic Pearl and push buttons. I saw Howlin Wolf and Hubert Sumlin and it was just the two them and that’s the guitar he played and he was amazing. Not an expensive LP. Love your vids though.
Can you play these things by Robert Cray?
Always been one of my favourite songs - sure I read somewhere Buddy Guy plays the second guitar on this- Good lesson though
Still trying to find someone to cover " Chester Burnets"..meet you at the bottom....tune
Burnett-meet ME at the bottom
Yes, 2:46 I feel the same way ;)
This guy can play anything; with finesse! Superb equipment on hand; Pauls, Teles, Strats, Fender, Vox, Marshall, the list goes on... Sure, he's weird (lol) but we love him (Biblical sense...) and his incredible range of quality music adventures. All in fun Pink (which one's Pink...)! Rock on! 🤘
Weird?, no. British eccentricity
@@ethanc1719 Just an attempt at a humorous remark... Angus said he was considered weird growing up; hell, it sure fits today with the school boy uniform... What a duo; Johnson screaming the lyrics and Young with the ability to play both rhythm and lead... Anyway, just a passing thought; wish I was weird if that's what it takes; lol! 🎸
Ooh, Adrian. Blues. Shock. Horror. Hehe. It’s all good for me.
Great. In another version he plays a different riff.
Howlin' Wolf is god. Can you do Spoonful, pretty, pretty, pretty please?
When Hendrix played this live in the Monterrey pop festival other guitarists sh*t their pants
Albert King does a great version of "Killing Floor" too, backed by The MGs' (Booker T's band) check it out✅
Always Cabrera wait
I hear Otis Reading Tramp.
Word
The
Very good and useful but you dud not cover the interesting rythym part
Sounds so much like She’s a Woman
That's because it features a Dominant seventh chord which is what She's awoman starts with.
You know what doesn't have a million tutorial videos... sonic reducer by the dead boys. There's almost no videos and the three or four that do exist are terrible.
Ripped off by led zeppelin.
I'm not even going to bother trying. 😕
Why not? Give it a shot if you like it, you'll get there.
I normally love your videos but that bloody awful distortion just put me off. just play it clean please in future.
ever listen to sumlin? pretty close to the actual track . . .
You obviously haven't heard any howlin wolf
I think the tone on the play through was nice and very close to the original, but I agree that Adrian could have played clean in the tutorial part. Still worth 20 minutes of my time, I have to say.
