Sam Clarke Right on!

@jeremywynne993 9 лет назад

IndicacannaJones Yeah, as the other poster recommended, Ry Cooder is the fuckin man! One of Blake Mills' biggest influences actually, and it can be heard all over this performance in both style and tone (intro and then starting at 3:45 mark especially). Some of the most dynamic, soulful, haunting, and rhythmic slide/guitar playing you'll hear.

@tpmc12 9 лет назад

@colehuntley4600 4 года назад

@jamesfoo8999 9 месяцев назад

Wow. In one song, he's strumming, palm muting, plucking including separate bottom for bass and muting it, sliding with a slide and fingers, bends, vibrato, pulling out single notes and chords, changing volume with his pinkie, singing (with emotion), and at one point even slides up and grabs a cheeky harmonic 1:05. Truly amazing skill and what a result, awesome song 🤘

@Hurricanehamo 8 месяцев назад

My 1st time seeing this. Extraordinary playing and serious vocal too. I reckon he's got a couple of heavy gauge flats on the E & A string.

@johnquinn7122 6 лет назад

@maximalist5038 6 лет назад

Jeffry Schwindt Blake is what Derek would be if he was into a different type of music. Blake is to Ry Cooder like Derek is to Duane Allman. Plus Derek is more technical of a slide player. Blake is a big classical style player. His knowledge of chord structures is pretty crazy. He's an amazing slide player but he's great in a lot of other areas of guitar.
