@@jamessidney2851 Luckily, my local library picked up a few... I checked out the Steve Lukather tape and ripped off some of his licks. Yes it was in the living room!
Agreed. Even amongst people who “know their shit” haha. He is underrated. Period. Problem is many modern players or just younger generations in general don’t really have much knowledge on old school R&B musicians. Because nowadays computers make all the popular R&B. With notable exceptions obviously. Have to say though recently I’ve come across several TH-cam channels of young people teaching modern R&B/pop/hip hop guitar parts. So maybe it’s coming back around.
Great sound. He’s played on over 2500 sessions and his album credits read like a who’s who of R&B. Also now that he mentions it, you can really hear the Texas swing influence-love musicians who take everything they hear and mix it up. Also the bends are amazing. Finally, the stretches in “honkey tonk.” I had a band leader who would make me play this for about ten minutes while he jammed to build up my hand strength-it hurt so bad I would sneakily tune the E string up to an F so I could rest. Lazy 16 Year old. Lol When I was 16 or so I discovered his track “Blue Nocturne” on an Atlantic Records blues sampler. Highly recommended deep cut. The lone drum and guitar intro is mesmerizing. Once the organ and bass hit it’s sublime.
Just looked this up on Spotify. Absolutely Beautiful. A shame it only has 70,000 views. If they played this on the radio the world would be a better place.
Damn! Thank you Cornell Dupree for blessing us with these hot licks! I can't believe how much of his style can be heard in Jimi's rhythm work. This video is an absolute GOLD MINE and just within 30 mins I've learned new licks, details and nuances than I have in months.

Man I see a lot of people's styles coming out in his playing. I see this motown type playing coming through with Hendrix. Great video! thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much for posting this...Mr. Dupree was a very strong personal and musical inspiration. I had purchased this video when it came out, and it somehow disappeared at some point. I had been lucky enough to work a stage for him at one point in the early 90s, and spent time with him. This is a chance to remember a fond memory...
Buddy Guy used to have a hot licks video. He talked and jammed for an hour, showing many different styles. Its apparently been scrubbed. I cannot find it anywhere. If anybody knows where I can find it, hit me back! I used to have it downloaded somewhere. Be safe.
Well, had to go look it up. Cornell passed in 2011 but in 1989 Yamaha made a signature guitar named after him, I guess this is it. Just would have never ever guessed a Yamaha. What a sweet sound, never even knew he existed before about an hour ago. Gods speed Cornell. //ji
Josh Smith was showing off a guitar modeled after Cornell Dupree's famous telecaster with a DeArmond Dynasonic pickup in the middle position, and I knew if Josh Smith idolized Dupree he must be something special................................!

The late great Jerry Wexler, producer of legendary soul, R&B, and rock acts over the decades, as well as Executive V.P. of Atlantic Records, once said that only two guitarists - just two - were able to play the demanding and deceptively difficult style combining rhythm and lead guitar: Steve Cropper, the session guitarist at Stax and for Booker T. and the M.G.s - and Cornell Dupree. Dupree - a native of Fort Worth, Texas, ended up performing on more than 2,500 sessions over his many decades in the music business, and backed performers as diverse as tenor sax great King Curtis, soul vocalist-pianist Aretha Franklin, and too many others to count. He also played funky licks for Stuff, the "house band" for 'Saturday Night Live," and played as a solo artist in his own right. A brilliant and underappreciated talent, Dupree was also as fine a gentleman as they come. He is missed greatly. Perhaps the crowning achievement of his legendary career is his album, "Teasin'," from 1974, an entirely instrumental recording of some of the tastiest blues, jazz and R&B you'll ever find anywhere. Along with Dupree are fellow legends Richard Tee, David "Fathead" Newman, Bernard Purdy, Chuck Rainey, and Ralph MacDonald, among others. An absolute gem of a recording....
Stuff was never the house band on SNL. They did appear on the show backing Joe Cocker and John Belushi on "Feelin' Alright," and possibly as musical guests on their own other times. SNL always had its own band, but they apparently were influenced by Stuff in the mid-70s when the latter were appearing several nights a week at Mikell's on Manhattan's Upper West Side before they recorded as a group. All the hip young local pro musicians hung there digging the sounds. Stuff drummer Chris Parker played in the SNL band for six years but that was later, beginning in 1986 according to his Wiki bio. Stuff itself broke up around 1981.

Oh and BL thanks for this sweet education. I had a band in junior high in 1966. Honky tonk was the first song we ever learned. Should have known about Cornell but we were too taken with the Beatles. Should have been listening to Cornell // ji
You almost certainly wouldn't or couldn't have known about him in 1966. He was in the King Curtis live band based in NYC then and in fact went back to Fort Worth from '66 to '68 and played there locally because his gigs had gotten slow in NY. He came back to NY and King Curtis in '68, but he got REALLY famous, at least in the business, c. early 1970 when that "Rainy Night In Georgia" record came out and he deservedly became a much in-demand studio player. But you could have picked up on the great Steve Cropper of the MGs in 1966.
@@howiesmith1504 HS, not sure if I ever thanked you for this update. Amazing life he had. BJ Thomas recorded Rainy Night in Georgia. I really liked the song. Stay safe, tha ks again. //ji
@@Rubin5342 You're welcome! Brook Benton's "Rainy Night In Georgia" was the hit I was referring to that Cornell played on. I just checked out the BJ Thomas version on TH-cam and there's no detectable lead guitar on it.
People rag on Glenn Gould recordings for his singing or humming along with his playing. It's like ambient music for me. You can learn to ignore the singing or focus on it. In the improvisational parts of some of Gould's Bach renditions, you can tell he's singing his ideas, just a little bit ahead of what he plays. I started doing the same thing with my playing. It was the best thing I ever did. The sung ideas from my head are better than what falls out of my hands, onto the guitar. After awhile you learn to put what you are singing, phtrasing, dynamics and all into your guitar playing. then people wonder how you get such emotional depth into your playing. It's translating the instrument we are most familiar with into guitar playing. More people should embrace the technique. I've heard that David Gilmour always sang his solos first and then learned them on guitar. No wonder they are often so profoundly heartfelt and beautiful.
This is some classic , old-school playing. Nice. I want to know who played on "Your Precious Love" by Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye. I love the guitar on that, especially the bridge.

Stuff was never the house band on SNL. They did appear on the show backing Joe Cocker and John Belushi on "Feelin' Alright," and possibly as musical guests on their own other times. SNL always had its own band, but they apparently were influenced by Stuff in the mid-70s when the latter were appearing several nights a week at Mikell's on Manhattan's Upper West Side before they recorded as a group. All the hip young local pro musicians hung there digging the sounds. Stuff drummer Chris Parker played in the SNL band for six years but that was later, beginning in 1986 according to his Wiki bio. Stuff itself broke up around 1981.

Excellent right hand work.
He was also on Miles Davis “Get Up With It”....
Absolutely brilliant !!!
Such a great & unique player, & cool guy 🎉
Oh and BL thanks for this sweet education. I had a band in junior high in 1966. Honky tonk was the first song we ever learned. Should have known about Cornell but we were too taken with the Beatles. Should have been listening to Cornell // ji
You almost certainly wouldn't or couldn't have known about him in 1966. He was in the King Curtis live band based in NYC then and in fact went back to Fort Worth from '66 to '68 and played there locally because his gigs had gotten slow in NY. He came back to NY and King Curtis in '68, but he got REALLY famous, at least in the business, c. early 1970 when that "Rainy Night In Georgia" record came out and he deservedly became a much in-demand studio player. But you could have picked up on the great Steve Cropper of the MGs in 1966.
@@howiesmith1504 HS, not sure if I ever thanked you for this update. Amazing life he had. BJ Thomas recorded Rainy Night in Georgia. I really liked the song.
Stay safe, tha ks again. //ji
@@Rubin5342 You're welcome! Brook Benton's "Rainy Night In Georgia" was the hit I was referring to that Cornell played on. I just checked out the BJ Thomas version on TH-cam and there's no detectable lead guitar on it.
Cornell A Master Guitarist Himself What Spoke About Is True Playin Period
So Great when he was Young, got to a Johnny Guitar Watson Concert, asked his mother to buy Cornell a Guitar
This is a golmine! Thanks for posting!
Great upload! Very inspiring!
He also played on Foreigner Suite by Cat Stevens. Wonderful guitar player!
Wow I didn't know that. One of my favorite LPs
This is gold! Cornell is the source!
That T Bone Walker school of the blues that he so effortlessly plays in G hot damn I’m going to need to slow this tape down for all those licks!
That looks like Townshend's Gold Schecter-Giffen he used on the '82 tour.
This is gold. Treasure. Thanks.
Cornell Dupree played the Memphis Stew lick he did with King Curtis which is epic
So very talented and so modest
rnb guitar is my favorite. so tasteful and smooth. im going to study his work
Double stop Rainy Night in Georgia at 9:03
Masterful playing. Unrelatedly: Who else loves that soft crackling sound in the background?
Essential viewing for any guitarist .....if they're serious....
Anyone hear him singing the parts with his voice but almost harmonizing them?
No, I don't hear it.
People rag on Glenn Gould recordings for his singing or humming along with his playing. It's like ambient music for me. You can learn to ignore the singing or focus on it. In the improvisational parts of some of Gould's Bach renditions, you can tell he's singing his ideas, just a little bit ahead of what he plays. I started doing the same thing with my playing. It was the best thing I ever did. The sung ideas from my head are better than what falls out of my hands, onto the guitar. After awhile you learn to put what you are singing, phtrasing, dynamics and all into your guitar playing. then people wonder how you get such emotional depth into your playing. It's translating the instrument we are most familiar with into guitar playing. More people should embrace the technique. I've heard that David Gilmour always sang his solos first and then learned them on guitar. No wonder they are often so profoundly heartfelt and beautiful.
@@MisterNiles Julian Lage is also someone who sometimes sings parts of his improvisations during live performances, I must try doing it some time
26:45 "he wasn't a bender." laughed out loud at that.
Music that speaks to my soul.
Oh God🎸
Thanks bro🙏
Swings like hell…..always loved these soulful licks.
Does anyone know he plays first song title?
I’m seriously thinking about having my thumb surgically extended so I do the Thumb Over technique.
just get a little guitar
Bob C lets invent a gizmo that fits on thumb and allows the overwrap? Free idea, like feed mayo to tuna fish.
Thank you!!!
does anyone know if the intro thing he does is a song?
This is why Hendrix was always growing and humble his entire career
This is some classic , old-school playing. Nice. I want to know who played on "Your Precious Love" by Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye. I love the guitar on that, especially the bridge.
Love his Guitar Solo on Live Everything is Everything 1971 with Donny Hathaway.
I love that one too

Cornell Dupree was one of the giants of Soul music guitar, along with Steve Cropper. There were other innovators too, like Reggie Young.
