Hey! I was on RL Boyce FINAL TOUR last year 2023 as bass player in NJ & New York! Phancee Music Amy Verdon is his booker and legend keeper. I MISS RL BOYCE - NEA HISTORIC Blues Fellow in 2023! ❤
A candid lesson is more relatable than a scripted production. Easy to catch on because in-person learning is best, and this format is the closest thing to it. Thanks Just cause a lesson is online doesn’t mean it needs anything more than a stationary camera. What, when someone plays guitar in front of you, do you need to jut forward and swoop in til your eye is an inch from their strumming hand and then fling onto your feet and tower above them for a top view before getting eye level and 3-ft back while Ken Burnsing your cranium? Oops back to Burnside
This is freakin great - I’m in the hospital for a couple days ODing on youtube and can’t wait to get home and try this lick. It’s been firmly implanted in my head since first hearing. Please keep making these vids - you have a great style!
I make my own acrylic powder & superglue fingernails for the sole purpose of playing country blues. They’re strong as hell and short enough to NOT be noticeable at all. I’ve done it for years now. 👍
So true about copying the greats, we are all like rivers, we change all the time in a billion ways, and then all our contexts are infinite too, excellent video.
Sub👊 I was up all night playing with this technique like you say there really is no thinking behind it just got to find your own way and eventually you will hear it Thank you You sound great 👊💪
Good work man honestly I’ve followed a lot of small musicians with little subscribers just to see how there RU-vid platform grows compared to mine and yours is taking off. 16k views is alot and I envy the hard work your putting in, I gotta kick it up a notch.
Hey, the best thing I could say from my limited experience is. If you have an idea just make a video about it. You never know how it’ll turn out until you try!
Man....... This was so f`n "refreshing" and real......... I appreciated so much what you said.......... "Play it however the fuck you want" .......... this really hit home with me man........... Thanks! Awesome lesson! Just subsribed hoping you`ve got some more!
@@stanlymcstanlyson9156 --- Are you in standard or open tuning? I know RL Burnside played the majority of his tunes in open G........ is why I`m asking --- Thanks!
Burnside and Boyce are both great but Mississippi Fred McDowell is their daddy. There are performance videos showing his incredible right and left hand work in generating super powerful rhythms. And check out John Lee Hooker as well.
Ok cool. I’m digging it.Thanks for making a video on this sound. BTW. What are you pumping through that Reverb behind you? Another video using the electric blues? Oh and what blues are you listening to?
RL plays the scratch stroke with his thumb as well. Not a backhand. You and the other RL's sound is on the way there, but no one I've watched has convinced me otherwise. Watch RL Burnside with that in mind. And yeah, it's even harder. If I had it in the bag I would post a video of it. Haven't seen anyone else besides RL actually cop it yet. He's not my favorite guitarist ever but he's the only one I've seen that so far cannot be copied.
I just try to learn this stuff as a language to express myself more than copying exactly how the real guys did it. I know I’ll never get it exactly. I don’t have their hands 🙌 or their hearts.
Thank you for the video! It inspired me to continue discovering blues.. The question is can you film the video about hand muting. It's a lot of that in here, but you told nothing about it
I have trouble with counting this. 1 - E, 2 percussive down strum; 3 and .... slide and B string.......and ? It isn't three time. Seems like a missing 4? Or is it me?
The groove of the song like you're doing has to be established before playing for a call and response otherwise it'd be like just playing scales. Nice groove thank you
The composition of one's fingernails is not genetic, but rather the result of the food and drink as well as what the body is exposed to environmentally. Good day, sir.
I think this is the least technical minded guitar tutorial I’ve seen and you know what? I got the basic rhythm down after like 15 minutes of trying out what you were saying. I do realise I try too hard to understand certain concepts and confused myself in the process
Except....you left the pure "hill country" vibe at 6.45 or so in the video.....there's no 1,4,5 in Hill Country.....just ride the root and add some flair.....there's no turn around Maestro....
I like your slowness in teaching. Wish you would do it without the vulgarity though. It's hard to listen to the entire video because of the cussing. It's very offensive and unprofessional.
