Thanks Daddy Stovepipe from way over in Australia. Just when I started to feel a bit stale I found your clips and you've given me a whole new set of ideas and inspiration. Thank you, so much, you are a true master of the style and a great educator.
Thanks! What a great story and history lesson! I looked up Daddy Stovepipe and found blues legend Johnny Watson who recorded under that name. I looked up Maxwell St./Chicago and found the actual home of Chicago blues. I play in a jam group called Mulligan Stew that hosts an opportunistic mix of whomever shows up at 4:30 on Sunday. Sometimes we have a lot of people, sometimes it's just three of us. One of our songs is The Stovepipe Blues written by Daddy Stovepipe himself. I never paid any attention to the author or the history behind this artist. I will share this historic info. with my fellow Mulligan Stew members (Whomever shows up). Although I just found you I will continue to watch your tutorials and learn as much as I can from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents with the RU-vid fingerstyle guitar community. That's what makes RU-vid great! Merry Christmas!

Awesome stuff, what's great is your ability to play " sloppy" enough to make it sound authentic but skillful at the same time. If I play this kind of stuff it just sound sterile.
Hélas, pas dispo dans ce temps (2015), maintenant YT le fait automatiquement... Une tablature est dispo (ouvrez la déscription du vidéo pour le lien)...
Great arrangement Mr Stovepipe, one thing puzzles me perhaps you can help? Bar 5 of the intro on the B7 chord has 3 beats, is this because the first bar of intro has 1.5 beats or some other reason . Thanks for your Tab.
Thanks, only when musicians began to play blues in a band the accepted bluesform became 12 bars. If you play solo you can play whatever you want, you follow your feeling. For musicians like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charles Patton etc, 12 bars were more an accident than a rule.
Both of my thumbs are "hitchhiker's thumbs" (google it). For my right hand that's an advantage as I can change the angle of attack which results in more variety in sound. For my left hand it's a disadvantage as the thumb caves in when fretting half and full barred chords. I often use a thumbpick as well.
+Walter Holokai Thanks. The name was chosen purely by accident well before I started with RU-vid. Years ago I became a member of the country blues forum called "Weenie Campbell". When choosing a usersname, usually something blues related like EZRider, I got the message, several times, "name already in use". So I took my first bluesbook I ever bought, "Story of the Blues" and opened it and took the first name I saw : a photo of Daddy Stovepipe playing Maxwell Street in Chicago. I changed it slightly by writing it in one word and without a capital at the beginning.
Dat reminds me, eye need to relearn Da Spasm, on thee guitar dis thyme! Luv Daddy Stovepipe! Btw, stumbled on2 yer page a cupple weex ago, hands down thee best blues turtorials eye've seen. Eye am in luv with duh way yew play!
Great lesson! I love that song. Yesterday I recorded a version my friend made. We played it toghetter. Its on my channel you might want to check it out. Its fun played and groovy. Thanks for your lessons they are really helpfull
You use several different guitars in your tutorials but you never talk about them. Why do you choose to use each one in each tutorial? And what are the qualities that each lend to whatever blues you are playing? Is one guitar just as good as any other? I wish you would create a tutorial on your guitar collection and talk about each one. TY :)
West Winds the guitar is just along for the ride, so not really important. I made 5 videos with guitars as subject, do a search for "daddystovepipe talks..." and they line up.
That's a bit of an overstatement. Plenty of small women and children are very good at guitar, even small men, skinny or fat. Your ability to master the guitar revolves around practice and patience, not genetics.
I never said anything about fat people or skinny people. I mentioned finger length. Show me a accomplished guitarist that has can play that has short fingers. You can't.
