Great job! I've studied this music intensely since the mid 70's. These skills are the basis of all my playing and performing skills. Paul Geremia was my BIGGEST modern influence and I've spent decades attempting to be my own version of him. Paul's knowledge of the history is immense but, it was the passion that hooked me. I've since diversified, playing electric guitar, and going to the "dark side, trad country music, which, when done right, has the same impassioned soul as the old blues. So many blues players these day disregard these roots.... and it shows in their playing and performance. This is the real deal folks. Keep it simple, raw, and project the passion and soul behind this wonderful music. Most Important, learn to sing. Without powerful vocals, you've only gotten halfway there. Voice, like guitar, harmonica, is easy to learn, and very difficult to master... practice daily.
Well done! I love the way you made the video. Showing styles and not dragging them out gives a guy a chance to hear what he is interested in working on. Saved me from at least 8 separate long videos. Thanks for taking the time! Brad Lee

wow there's a great base of most of Robert Johnson's songs here... I don't know why everybody talked about him inventing the blues. a lot of great artists were involved included Robert johnson of course
I listened to a lot of white men singing the blues or at least they tried to. And mostly all of them just sound phoney and contrived. But not do you, Tom. To my ears your music just sounds somewhat pure and honest. And besides, you're a great guitar player and teacher, too. Thanks for posting this stuff, it' s just wonderful.
Only flaw with most of the 'Learn Robert Johnson' style videos is that they're mainly played in standard tuning. Johnson played in Open G (sometimes D), as did most of the old blues men (and women).
+Brian Anderson Been reading 'Escaping the Delta' by Elijah Wald. Seems the 'tortured soul' stuff was (as you say) mainly hype, the biggest guilty party being the British in the 60's such as the likes of Clapton and Richards.
+Brian Anderson I highly recommend the book, full of much thought provoking facts and theories, though can be a bit heavy going in places. For example, it had never crossed my mind that Mr Johnson actually played other types of music in public such as 'pop' and not just 'songs of despair', or even the fact that at the time, hardly anyone had heard of him. That's enough of the spoilers though. You live in Louisiana? You lucky lucky . . .
+Brian Anderson I completely agree with your statements; might I add that the so-called "deal with the devil" could have been a very convenient way to protect himself: in those days, a musician had a better life than the ordinary field workers of the area and could kindle much jealousy (mainly because of women attraction abilities); so a mist of mystery could keep husbands and fighters away in a certain way... Greetings from France, across the big pond
+Brian Anderson Very good thread! I'm 65 and came to hear Johnson through the Brit invasion, like some others. Even at 14 years old, or now 65 years old, and hearing Johnson, you know there's a lot of people and a lot of money changing hands. Jonhson"s sound is pretty dramatic, so the truth (even if we know it) just doesn't seem adequate to explain the power behind that sound. I like the more general explanation for Jazz, R&R, Blues: "The pain of the rural South". Slave and post slave life had inherent drama, even if one's own life was otherwise uninteresting. I think today's life is also dramatic, but not so obvious as slavery unless you got the right lense to see it.
Hey Tom. Many guitarists' right hand pinky spazes out and sticks out. It is hard to fix. But, if you are interested in fixing that problem for both aesthetic and technical reasons then you should think of your ring finger and pinky as one autonomous unit. When you pick a string with your ring finger move your pinky with the ring. When your ring finger is still, make the conscious effort to keep your pinky tucked in and copying your ring finger. It takes some work but it becomes a habit after a while. See you at the crossroads.
i dont know if i should buy this course . i like the music . i have from 10 years ago played some easy finger picking pieces of stefan grossman but i have never played slide guitar what do you think ?

+StreetFightingMan1967 Only electric guitar string sets have unwound G's. There are so many different kinds (alloys) of electric strings that I'll just offer one suggestion. You can try em all, but this will get you going cheap ($4.13/set) + shipping. If you buy $40-50 worth of stuff, shipping is free. You can also just walk into any music store and ask for a set of strings with an unwound 3rd, but you better know what gauge you want. The gauge on this set is light. www.juststrings.com/ghs-gb-low.html If you look around on the juststings website you can also find where you can buy a package of 10-12 individual strings. I'd wait till you change your strings and just buy a set with an unwound G. You've got lots of options, but GHS Boomers work pretty nice for acoustic. If you look under the picture of the set you'll see "'description" This is where they put the gauges of the set in a chart. Only half the string sets on juststrings,com have the chart, but enough of the Boomers have it that you'll kinda see what sets look like at the individual string level. The truth is that any set of electric strings of the right gauge will work to some extent. Boomers are bright. Good for Blues, but there's

Thanks! Very, very good and thank you!!! You are young but you fast forward our history..so makes me smile!!! 👍❤️👍👍👍😀😀

Had never heard Lead Pencil Blues before this. What a cool song! Outstanding playing!
I met Son House and didn't know who he was. Played at a local bar. Felt embarrassed that I was ignorant of his history. Many years ago.
Son was a legend, but any teacher would have corrected him on his sloppy slide playing. Plus,he only plays and sings in one key as far as I know

Who's your fav Delta blues bassest?
roots of whaaaat?
mannn
Roots of Robert Johnson. It's in the title.
Robert Johnson is a Mississippi Delta Blues legend.
Muy burno2
He sounds like James Lipton discussing Dave Chappells work.
And Lipton would have no problem, he's just that good!
Very nice! Only one thing, the sound could be better. Not saying this to criticize just would like to see you bring out the best!
What guitar is that you are using? Nice will pickup this DVD.
SiggyMe looks like a Fraulini
why you got plaster in your hair blues
as a "lesson" video it's no good at all but I give it a thumbs up for your virtuosity as a talented blues guitarist and singer. Was a fun vid to watch
I think this is a sampler for other lessons although I learned a bunch from it.
This is a preview of a lesson DVD/Download that you can buy, and well worth every penny, and then some!
I wonder who the total loser was who clicked on "unlike"...... can never please some people.
