A sample from "The Acoustic Guitar of Jorma Kaukonen - DVD 2" available as an instant download here: leapingbrain.com/modshop/chec...
Jorma Kaukonen continues the exploration of the popular blues-based fingerpicking that has been his signature style throughout his long and distinguished career. Jorma starts this lesson with an in-depth breakdown of the folk/blues classic I Know You Rider. He takes the song apart measure by measure, teaching the runs, chord shapes, bass runs and right hand picking that make his arrangement of this song so special. You'll learn rhythmic figures, "back picking," double-time patterns, vibrato, accompaniment ideas, runs and licks up the neck and other invaluable playing techniques that can be used in this and many other songs.Then it's into open G tuning for Jorma's original Water Song, an instrumental showpiece that encompasses harmonized scales, octave runs, string bends, right hand rolls and other intriguing guitar moves.Finally, Jorma teaches Jesse Fuller's San Francisco Bay Blues, a ragtime-style standard that's filled with unusual guitar licks and tricks. With its infectious melody and powerful chord progression, you'll see why this song has been a perennial favorite of guitar fingerpickers for generations.This is another wonderful Jorma Kaukonen guitar lesson -- friendly, relaxed and filled with fascinating guitar lore, good songs and lots of technique to add to your fingerpicking repertoire.

Before the internet, we busted our asses trying to figure this song out. I had a version in E tuning that sounded pretty good. Now, of course, Jorma shares all of this with us.

When this came out, I figured out that it was in open-G tuning, and kind of played around to get what I thought I was hearing, and I guess I got close, but this is great, because it's definitive. You can actually watch what he does in all 3 or 4 parts of it. Another thing: If you get a chance, pick up a 12-string and try this out. It's amazing! Fred

"Water Song" has to be one of the prettiest songs ever written//////
@ffggddss
@ffggddss 3 года назад
Yes! It benefits from that open-G tuning, which Joni Mitchell used kind of a lot, too. ( _Circle Game_ comes to mind, e.g.) And numerous other folk & acoustic artists have used open-G. Fred

I always thought to myself, "When I can play this, I'll consider myself *good* at guitar". Well, I still suck, but thanks to this video I can play the song now. ;) Thanks Jorma.

I am trying to get it down now. Ya, I know what you mean, this song, and "Embryonic Journey," were just out of my finger picking league, I thought until I saw this. I got most of it, just have to smooth it out. The one place I am kind of stuck in, is the part where he does that quick bass move on the low, 6th string, and the 5th and 4th as well, where he moves quickly, and he doesn't cover that in this sample! I'll get it, but it is a bit tricky to play it like ringing a bell at this point! It's all in the way he is finger picking it.
@justincraddock3228

Start open and begin the slide at the 2nd fret on 6 and 4. Drag it up to the 5th fret. Then on strings 3 and 5, do the same, but stop at the 4th fret. Finish with the first 2 chords he shows. I don't think any two people play it the same way, but that should help if I wrote it out right.

Jorma has always been my guitar hero and I ran into him maybe 25 years ago in a small bar in South Carolina wanted to say so many things to him but all that came out was"You play great" oh well .Thanks for the memory and all the great playing. At least I got to meet him.

Amazing! One of my all time favorite songs; nice to watch Jorma Kaukonen explaining how to play that great song though I do not play guitar ... but I enjoy to hear it! The original on Burgers is so fantastic, with that hot bass from Jack Casady and the nice violin from Papa John Creech.

Thanks you Jorma and HAppy for creating these lessons back in the 90s. I have all 3 lessons (on VHS-oldish school) and having JK himself teaching Water, Emb Journey, Lamps Triimed, I'll Br Alright, Mann's fate is a really lucky thing for all people who play guitar.

@mattleemattlee123
@mattleemattlee123 15 лет назад
One of my favorite tracks by the Tuna. I think this even eclipses Embryonic Journey, another great Jorma fingerpicking tune. With Jacks incredible distorted bass lines sounding like a hundred bowed double-basses, this transcends a "finger-style" guitar piece and enters the realm of all-time classic music. An atmospheric masterpiece. Fun to play, too. I did it with just a dropped D and G...much harder that way!

As an early adolescent, (14-yrs.), I knew I would learn this song. However, my earliest guitar playing experience limited me to the E-minor scale, until a jamming buddy told me to drop the low E-string to a D. That STILL didn't do it, 😡❗️Many years passed, and the GRAND opportunity to see Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady perform the song live--before my very ears and eyes--at The Rainbow Music Hall here in Denver delivered me from ignorance. This was before the "internet" after all, (in fact, during those days the internet was the inner-lining of men's swimming-trunks, [for "log-on" purposes]), but thanx to Jorma's fingering-skills--and my proximity to him, Jorma was SHOWING ME the Fandango tuning method. That was in the 1980s, and I'll never forget the experience. Although it saddened me that Papa John Creach wasn't there, I left with a heart full of song and a mind full of direction. Thank you Jorma.

WOW!!! I've always loved this song, from back in the day when I'd hear it on St. Louis' KSHE 95 in the 70''s. It took me forever to a) the title, b) who plays it and c) where the hell can I find it? Try calling up a station and asking for a song that has no words and not knowing any of the above info, and it's pretty frustrating. Thanks, Jorma, for this beautiful little piece. Now, if I could just figure out where to find the instrumental music to the introduction of the 70's St. Louis channel 11 afternoon movie! Let me hum it for you and see if you can help me....

It truly sucks to be 15 in this generation. Even though I'm not a guitarist I'm very appreciative of great ones. Whenever I join a band I always try to turn the guitar player on to Jorma. But usually they are really closed minded and think of Hendrix as the greatest guitar player ever. Don't get me wrong, I love Hendrix, but if I had the choice to be in a band with Jorma or Jimi (In their prime) I would most likely pick Jorma. He just plays with such beauty and passion. And I greatly admire that

Does anybody know who his guitarist was when he was touring during 1976? I played guitar at Cold Spring Tavern in the hills above Santa Barbara then when his band stopped by in 1975-6. I left a 12 string for musicians to play and I taught this one to JP's guitarist while he showed the proper way to play Embryonic Journey.

Hence all the comments and continuing interest. - yes we should all use our ears and be expert enough to do it the way they did in the old days - simply listen to the music and be able to figure it out. Trouble is - there are more people interested in learning than there are musical savants who can simply listen and do.

@LavransRM 13 лет назад
Elegant in its simplicity. If you want to find your way around an Open G tuning, this is a good starting point. I got to learn this from Jorma at "guitar camp" at the Fur Peace ranch, along with Embryonic Journey. Bass players would also do well to study Jack Casady's bass lines. Having seen Hendrix, Clapton, Jorma, Garcia, Santana, Gurley, Cippolina and many more great guitarists back in the 60's, trashing one of these guys at the expense of the others is a meaning exercise in stupidity.
