I swear you're the only guy making regular videos on funk, soul, and R & B. And a lot of the videos already out there are so clinical and soulless. Your playing shows that you love to play this music. Thanks for sharing!

enjoy !
JustNickMusic has been doing it for years and has systematic methods completely free. And he is a great guitarist and a decent bassist.
@@JasonCunliffe mnaicck is simply the truth, he’s the only one that is on Rick Stickney’s level when it comes to soul Rnb niche on you tube.
P
Kerry 2 Smooth does as well
The Telecaster is they most underrated soul / r&b / neo soul guitar EVER!
In case you didn’t notice, a lot of what Jimi Hendrix did was rooted in the style created by Curtis Mayfield.
Jimi didn’t invent this stuff, Mayfield did.
John Frusciante and John Mayer copy this stuff all the time.
What is extremely upsetting to me is Mayfield never gets the credit he deserves.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this!
Actually, Curtis got a lot of what he did out of the church. What he was playing was typical of church musicians.
@@jamesjohnson1522 interesting, thanks for sharing.
I love that style of playing, so melodic.
@@jimmy5634 yes good stuff...
so true man, apparently curtis let jimi be his support act in his early days and showed him all the little tricks like trills and stuff, jimi wrote a couple of songs as an ode to Curtis, one of the songs is called drifting.
you know heaps....................
Thanks for keeping Curtis alive !..He might be unknown to many now, but he was a huge influence back in the day...
he sure was, thanks for watching
My 3 kings are Curtis, Pops, and Cropper.
The first lick alone is enough to make this a great lesson. Great stuff, wonderful sound, thanx.
I saw Curtis Mayfield in 1990, he was performing in central park NYC. He was phenomenal. You definitely got the Curtis Mayfield licks down packed. I think I'll listen to some curtis mayfiled right now. I love R&B, Rap, Rock music. I also love Soul Music, the kinda guy like Curtis Mayfield would play.
Love me some Curtis Mayfield!!...his music literally saved my life & guided me into the joys of being a Musician! So,.. I sing & play just like him! He was influential on my song writing style of that kind of R & B...Very cool of you to have illustrated just how he “Played” his ‘Strats & Telecasters!..not too many have recognized his contributions to Guitar Playing & Singing! ..in the Performing Arts...a style unmistakably him❗️👍🏾✨🎶🎸🥂🍾🤘🏾👨🏾A+!
This is the "Secret Sauce" to any guitar playing. Great stuff and thanks for the lesson.
thank you for watching!
5:33 Found it! For the original, search "Rap (#2) (Live at The Bitter End, NYC)". Thank you so much for this lesson.
Cool, thanks for watching!
That live album you speak of is Curtis Mayfield live at the Bitter End in 1972!! Which is a fantastic live album!! I have it on vinyl! That interlude is from the performance of "We've only just Begun!! Cheers mate!!
Yep, you've spotted it!
One of my favorite artists of all time thank you i needed this
This was a beautiful lesson to listen to, probably because of the thumb. Those little stabs can make you sound like a hero when you are deep into this genre.
Ibanez AM205 in the background? Greatest guitar ever
This is an AM200 not sure what the difference is from the 205, but yeah, its an amazing guitar!
Useful insight into Curtis’ style. Thank-you.
This is what we need! I get so many musical ideas just listening to this!
This is a really good lesson! Thank you for sharing.
Love the thumb strum. So much tone potential there. Great lesson!
Cornell Dupree use similar approach
So glad you did this!!! Thank you 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for this great lesson, a lot of ideas to put in our playing. It's so inspiring!
Spinning “Curtis” at 45speed right now - I think a young D Boon must’ve done this.
Great video. You are an excellent teacher!
Always great lessons, always many thnx! Happy holidays.
Great channel!

Thanks Beyhan!
Nice video man. Thank you
Another great lesson. thanks Rick you are top man.
Sweet Lesson!!
Great lesson, thanks so much!!
Hey man love your stuff. Not many people out there going over soul, funk r&b stuff. Keep going. Subscribed.
Right on, thank you!
Thank you for appreciating Curtis Mayfield's guitar playing! Have you noticed that John Mayer's "Waiting On The World To Change" sounds exactly like "People Get Ready"? I wonder if he got sued for that?
thanks for watching, Elaine. Well, its a common chord progression so they would never win the lawsuit.
Love love love this tutorial. ❤️
Thank you!
Bless you, I'm very fan of r&b guitar stuff and Mayfield partly. Send hello to u from Russia
Curtis Mayfield's Awesome, Awesome!

Great Lesson Rick ! I saw Curtis Live in London 1989
Very cool!
Awesome stuff
Great video! I heard someone talking about how they liked Curtis and the F# tuning. So this was all that and more. Thank you. 👍🏻

5:33 Do you remember the name of the live song with this incredible soul guitar part?
Cant remember but believe it was on live at the bitter end
@@TastyGuitarcom Thank you and thanks for this vid. I am having a blast playing these embellishments.
@@thislisa glad to hear it!
Played the wah wah pedal like nobody else too, on chords or lead.
Great Video! One thing that confused me was the thumb position, are you keeping your thumb perpendicular to the strings so you are only using the side edge? it looks that way but I cant get my tele to sound as bright and snappy
Yes but to get that brighter tone I'm kinda attacking it with the bottom of my thumb, kinda where the joint is
S_W_E_E_T_!!
👊🏾👊🏾
Jimi had a good reference
what recording is the lick from that your playing to explain the 16th note chord embellishments? (starting at the 5:32 minute mark)
I believe that was from live at the Bitter End
Am I hearing some Jimi in this style? Did he incorporate his early group playing into his psychedelic stuff?
I assume Jimi most likely picked up his RnB chops from his time with the Isley's
What are the pedals you are using to get this sound?
I believe this was just an Xotic EP booster, flint reverb into Suhr Bella amp
Hello love your channel. Amazing place on youtube. Can you help me with advice please? I am trying to learn the embelishments leak. How do you mute strings? With you thumb?
not sure which lick you are referring to
@@TastyGuitarcom the lick on 5:30
@@Dyas777 actually not really any muting happening here, I'm just playing one string at a time so what are you needing to mute?
@@TastyGuitarcom it is just whenever I move my finger from a string (left hand, fretboard) it makes quiet sound. I can’t hear this sound in your video. I guess I am just too much of a perfectionist.
What gauge strings are you using? They look pretty heavy. Flatwounds?
nope, 10-46

The world of soul guitar is a deep rabbit hole and I pity the guitar player that somehow gets thru life without experiencing it.
There is definitely a lot to learn that can be applied over most music styles
Doesn’t Curtis play guitar in black key tuning?
yes, and I mention this is in standard tuning except the last example which is in his open F# tuning
@@TastyGuitarcom Do you cover it in any of your other lessons? Excellent video, btw.
Sorry my mistake.. you r on standard tuning
Good lessons....but standard tuning Curtis didn't use much.
Nice Job

Omygosh.
Great lesson but Curtis isn’t playing the chucks on it’s alright. He’s playing something else under it but it’s barely audible. A lot of his great playing is unmiced or very low in the mix. I’d love another Curtis lesson though.
Robbie Robertson credits Curtis Mayfield as a great influence, playing fewer notes, but just enough of the right ones.
your guitar is is not on standard tuning !
very confusing on the counting
