    This is interesting! I think I noticed something similar with John Lee Hooker some years back. He didn't always stick to the 12 bar pattern and timing.

    With music, it's good to think outside of the box, and try different approaches. Lightning Hopkins is a great guitarist. People like him, and Robert Johnson did some pretty amazing guitar work. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers! ✌️

    This is so amazing. Please -- do more of this style blues. I grew up on it listening to Delta Blues when I was a kid in Alabama in the 1950s. Before it was popular among most whites, a radio DJ in Birmingham named Duke Rumore sold these type records in his record shop and we learned Delta Blues before the British ever heard it. When it was taken north and electrified by such artists as Muddy Waters, I liked his music but I preferred listening to southern artists like Howlin' Wolf who recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis. Thank you for keeping it alive. It's great to hear it played by a well known master historian artist like you.

    Great lesson! A lot of the great blues players didn't always do just 12 bar blues, i noticed this aswell many play 10 bar blues, 8 bar blues, 16 bar and even 14 at times! and would put in chorus sections or break section into a song ( I think CCR's version of I put a spell on you is a great example). For the delta blues style, i think the hardest part is definately playing the thumb and bass part in time especially when you play faster and more complex melodies with the other fingers and of course sometimes you have alternating bass notes too to make it even more difficult!

    Watching towards the end there I was wondering how you were playing some of that and feeling like I was terrible. Then I realized I’ve been doing most of that same stuff just in a different way. Same results. It’s very encouraging. Thanks for the great lesson!
