Thanks for the crash lesson. I like your lesson a lot. First, I was lucky enough while in my early teens to learn Travis style picking by the only guitarist in my hometown. Then, I went off to college to study Classical from Christopher Parkening but that only lasted a year. I was more in love with picking then learning the attributes of Bach , Chopin, ect. Now, I am 50 and I bought my Martin D-28 last year...Now all I want to learn is Robert Johnson. Thanks for the help.
Man I am so glad to have found you. I first watched you teaching the acoustic Version of Layla as played by Eric Clapton on his unplugged album before they pulled down your video citing copy right issue. You were simply fabulous in that lesson and one of the best lesson s I have learnt on TH-cam!
Just starting out... I LOVE your split screen...you take it nice and s l o w ...so we can see all your movements, and have time to duplicate them... I wanna see more of your stuff...
great tutorial.. Its hard to find people to play with old folk blues.. even hard to find good teachers who delve into the old stuff.. I have been playing for many years but only in the last 5 have delved into old slide folk blues.. My most recent accusition is a regal RC resophonic.. copper finish. I had a gretsch alligator. neither have a pickup.. the difference with the string noise is amazing.. in fact with the Regal there is very little muting behind the slide that needs to be done..very light pressure is required.. I also us high end jazz strings.. flats.. a bit hard on the fingers but a month of practice doubles up the callus.. well worth the difference in sound .. Thanks for this tutorial …….
He's following a metronome and teaching a lesson, we can't blame him for not putting enough feel on it. Also i found it easier to understand the lesson this way.
Prior to 1930 there were several recorded songs with the title "Walking Blues" which bear no relation to this song. There were songs with the line Woke up this morning feeling down to my shoes, and innumerable songs with the half-line I got the [epithet] blues.[2] Son House combined these to make the couplet Woke up this morning, feeling round for my shoes You can tell by that I got the walking blues At his 1930 Paramount recording session, House made a test pressing
No need to get upset. The 1930 Son House recording exists so it's a fact that he recorded it long befor Robert Johnson did. Son House might have learned it, or at least parts of it, from somebody else too. Nobody will ever know for sure where it originally came from. It's just a fact that it didn't start with Robert Johnson.
Robert johnson didn't write walkin' blues, he learnt it from Son house who originally wrote and recorded it in 1930 but it wasn't released till much later.
Sounded great,slowed everything down just enough.wondering what the sound difference is gonna be like using a glass slide though.brass always seemed pretty unforgiving for speed, talent, ability, an guitar I have??????
That's nonsense, per the last post, that the "great slide players keep fingers next to the slide, not on it. Great slide players use all kinds of different hand configurations, and place the slide on different fingers, fourth, third, and second, which further alters hand positions. Some don't even "block" behind the slide much at all, (e.g., currently, Jack Pearson), rather use the right hand to stop unwanted notes. Look at some examples. This guy's technique is fine.
@@homesickclifford1966 the fact that you edited that comment, really makes me wish I could've read the first copy. Cause I know damn well you didn't go back to fix a typo, not with all of that poor grammar.
Rem ko this is actually a clipped out section of an entire commercially available DVD called Eric Clapton Acoustic Hits lesson, so it's part of an hour long show. It's a great instructional dvd
man i need 5 hours to figure out what you are picking..try to explain what are you doing in every move..this lesson is very hard to learn becouse of theat.
It's good for a lesson, but he is very bad player. he plays the like a rock, he doesn't have swing or softness or even feeling (always the essencial) playing this song. it sounds just ugly.
decent lesson...too bad it's of the worst version of walkin blues ever recorded.... ppl add way more vibrato then this guy is doing though, and use a glass slide

good lesson
Very useful information. Thank you.
Listen to Duane Allman or Warran Haynes from Allman Bros/Govt Mule. Slide on electric can be great
Thank you.
The greatest slide players keep fingers next to the slide not on it.. witness Sonny Landreth.. but a great into lesson thanks!
Goodstuff
@justin20111000 I use slide on my electric guitar all the time. It sounds great and is perfect for some songs :)
thank you sir.
where do i get a slide. and how would it effect my electric guitar.
So many experts! Give the guy a break!
wonderful! thanks!
Nobody needs a history lesson
What kind of slide is yours ?
fine lesson but man, either that guitar is a super super super jumbo or that guy is REALLY small! thanks again for the lesson
thank you
Know your open chords, makes it a lot easier
THANKS THANKS
thankyou
thanks for lesson. learned a lot. never mind the trolls!
Not by Robert Johnson. Written by Son House!
too funny
I think I learned Tush from this guy....rock on

robert jonson : ))))
do you have a personality?

While a guitar lesson should start with a demo of the song etc that is going to be learned. This guy does a lotta blabbering 01:15 starts it
+Rem ko yep more like 3:14....
Rem ko this is actually a clipped out section of an entire commercially available DVD called Eric Clapton Acoustic Hits lesson, so it's part of an hour long show. It's a great instructional dvd
if you can't figure out how to get a slide maybe you shouldn't bother
It was a tribute to Muddy Waters, this video is wrong

clown
what the fucking less is that? it's impossible to understand
Blind blake was a better guitar player
Dang he plays rough. Not smooth at all..
It's good for a lesson, but he is very bad player. he plays the like a rock, he doesn't have swing or softness or even feeling (always the essencial) playing this song. it sounds just ugly.
You're aware he was playing at slow tempo for the purpose of demonstration, yes?
for some reason I feel like this guy doesnt actually know anything about guitar.
decent lesson...too bad it's of the worst version of walkin blues ever recorded.... ppl add way more vibrato then this guy is doing though, and use a glass slide
Not helpful
Pitiful. That's not a lesson, it's a show off.
