I saw him live in March 1980. A very good concert and he played some of his Cobra records back then. I remember "All your love" and "She's a good un". Not sure about "It takes time. But maybe. He also played "I can't quit you baby" and "If I had a hammer" and "Cross-cut-saw". Best regards & keep up the good work Frank
I have a Epiphone Riviera. Otis his signature guitar Not sure if Otis played it on this record. It may have been his stratocaster. Otis a main influence on Mike Bloomfield and Peter Green. Both covered this song. Anyway, great lesson Johnny.
oh yeah! I should do a lesson on Homework. I love the Fleetwood Mac version. I actually recorded a version of it on my "Greetings from Greaseland" CD. thanks a lot Slim!
I cant think of anyone else doing this so I sincerely appreciate you passing the torch on this food for the soul blues. Glad to see you cover an Otis tune again. The first time I heard Live at Wise Fools Pub I didn't stop listening for two weeks!
Thanks, Johnny, for highlighting one of my all-time favorite Otis Rush tunes! Yes, I agree the "ching" ... puts him in E flat tuning...and I hear a "blonk" at 18 secs ... open A string!? .. But ...why does he lower the tuning? Because of the sax player? (Another topic). Anyway, thanks for this!! More Otis!!
mysteries abound lol! he could have been in E flat for no real reason, he just tuned it that way that day or something. YES more otis on the way! the blonk sounds like he bumped his guitar into the a mic stand or something to me
Nice vibrato Johnny, you got the feel right! Otis prob had the sweetest vibrato ever, so it's important to really emphasise that! 🙌
Otis's vibrato is tops! thanks a lot my friend
Otis was the MAN !
He really was! Thanks for watching
You’re such a patient teacher and so non pretentious. I’m really looking forward to seeing you when you come back to Minneapolis next!
thanks so much jon and kelly! 7.21 Roseville American Legion 542 afternoon
