Your playing and feel here is absolutely stellar! Voodoo Child (No Slight Return) Vibes! So cool 😎 Will gives me hours of practice getting it to flow freely I think. Thanks Tom!
Excellent video. Anyone can play notes but doing it with the right feel and phrasing is another story. You have a real feel for the blues and are a talented guitarist.
I think Muddy Water's version was called Rolling Stone, which is where the Rolling Stones got their name. This riff has been adapted and used in many songs including Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile
Fantastic Blues lesson Thom! Gotta love the Mud Cat & that picture of him with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth is priceless! Happy Holidays to you & your family!
Here's one version of the lyrics ... RIP, Muddy! "Well, I wish I was a catfish Swimmin' in the deep blue sea I'd have all you women Fishin' after me Fishin' after me Fishin' after me Well, I'm broke and I'm hungry Ragged and I'm dirty too Well, if I clean up, baby, can I Stay home with you Stay home with you Stay home with you If I can't, can't come in Let me sit down front of your door I'll leave so early, your Mom won't know Won't never know Won't never know Oh, I know, know my baby Well, she's going to jump and shout When my train pulls in and I I come walkin' out Come walkin' out Come walkin' out Yes, I'm goin', babe I'm goin' And your crying won't make me stay Oh, the more you cry, baby More I'll go away More I'll go away More I'll go away Well now I know, I know you don't want me Why in the world won't you tell me so? Then I won't be caught, baby, 'round Your house no more Your house no more Your house no more"
Hear My Train a Comin from Live at Berkeley, is the other Jimi Catfish/Hoochie Coochie hybrid, that is more intricate and has a very different change, than most blues.
i turn 53 in april. kickflip on a skateboard is nothing special, but still makes me happy every time. can do just this trick all day long. ; ) thx for this nice guitar lesson, mate.
I want to thank you for your lesson on the Shadows Apache... helped me in a few spots I was having trouble with. I first heard it on the album Wheels by the Phantoms. 👍🎸🎸
Hi Tom! an other Tom (Tomas) here, at 11:03 no need for 2 finger to do bend if you use 0.8 or even 0.7 strings (like Billy F Gibbons). The bend is easy with Gibson length scale (24.75″) or more easy with PRS (Santana signature 24,5'') and so on ... (Fender Jaguar and Mustang 24''). But if you stick with strato ok, put some light string an make your live easyest.
Nicely played! From one guitar teacher to another, I appreciate your enthusiasm too. In a world of seemingly never-ending shredding, people are missing out on simple, heartfelt expression through simpler playing. 🙂
Do you know what? This sounds very reminiscent of Eric Clapton's take on "Ramblin' on My Mind". These riffs are transportable over songs and genres. Good work mate! Really enjoy your content. Keep going!
At the end of Gregg Allman's official video of Muddy Water's song "Love The Life I Live", he tells the band that their licks was just bonafide nasty! Catfish is one of those licks - just nasty!!! I miss Gregg - the greatest blues singer of our time.....in my very humble opinion of course
I've been watching the very well-made videos for a long time and they teach me something every time. Not only is the acting great, but there's always the right soundtrack. Where does it come from?
