Who Is Blake Mills? | Sound and Vision 

Georgie porgie I was thinking of this yesterday, which made me come back to watch this video after a few months of not seeing it. Though Kid Rock may be a grade A loser, I think it’s still cool that Blake Mills hangs out with him and that Kid Rock recognizes his talent. I think it shows that Blake Mills sees eye to eye with someone that may be different than him, and the same with Kid Rock, and that they both have a mutual love for something that can bring two completely different people together which says something in and of itself.

"what's with all the weird stuff". And how to describe your music Mr. Rock? Blake's first album is great. Don't let anyone (especially Kid Rock) tell you otherwise!

It's all about context. I don't know Kid Rock, he may be a nice guy, whatever, just not someone who helps your music producer video job resume.

@@caseyolson9152 How many records have you sold? Kid Rock's early stuff was actually really good. Hes right actually. Mills is a killer country blues player. I get all the weirdo avant garde noise hipster stuff but, sometimes less is more.

Lolz

is she a famous cook or what?

+NUJAKKCITIE She's in a band with her two sisters. They're called Haim.

Trigger TheSound j

We are all the greatest thing ever.

cringe

Hell yeah it is! I don't claim to be a fancy musical farmagician, per se, but my chicks and wee piglets have taken to the harpsichord and the steel drums in a way that will leave you uh...flabbergasted to say the least. It's all about each peculiarly inclined non human limb and limited movements of said limbs' capability to reach, scratch, spew, howl, crush, yarp or whatever it's heart finds in the incredible array of limited musical instruments one can afford to be completely ruined in a pen or stable or coop environment that your budget can tolerate.

YES. Oh my god.

+Mat Koehler It is actually painfully good.

He is awesome. I am sure he has listened quite a bit to Derek Trucks. That vocal sound...

I want to figure It out as well, tell me if you succeded

if you like that, find some of Ry Cooders stuff. Showtime is agreat record, as with his newest live release

I totally hear Greene in there too, both such inspiring players.

Hair makes too many guitar faces.

If you like that, maybe listen to Nathan salsburg (third)

@@glenrussell77 big fan!

Why not be happy with what's already here?

@@TheVeek192 It's not either/or. I'm happy to have watched this + would happily watch more!

you don't know if it tastes good though

She's a good cook according to the other Haim sisters

A harmonic tremolo pedal and a fuzz pedal should do the trick !

Eliseu Victor anyone oblige?

I second that, absolutely beautiful. anyone know ?

+totusdispute I believe it's "Like it's Something" on his recent High Ho album. Good song. It's cool to see him working on it.

I believe its a lap steel pick up

Yea it is your right! '

I believe it’s a Coodercaster made for him by Mike Cornwall. Also Blake typically uses an old Bell & Howell Filmosound amp that is a custom build.

Eddie H Ted Greene

He uses Open E tuning alot ( low-high : E-B-E-G♯-B-E ) when he plays slide, hopefully that gets you closer to it. I'm still trying to figure out how he gets so many percussive sounds into his playing, it's like his thumb has a mind of its own and just improv's over whatever else he's playing. Best of luck bud!

That guitar's always in Open C#, according to him. That's probably why it's so outta whack for most people.

Luke Walker not sure but sounds like he's listened to this guy alot ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6wkjbWu4q3k.html

+DEWITTECONDOR your mans face looking at what he is doing is fantastic

Massimo Beckers not sure exactly but it sounds like he's been listening to this guy alot ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6wkjbWu4q3k.html

Matt Dixon He plays Jesus on the mainline it's a traditional song, also performed by Ry Cooder. Good Times

Jesus on the Mainline. It's a traditional tune, but he's almost certainly getting his inspiration from the Ry Cooder version, who he emulates a lot in his slide playing/guitar choice, etc

I like that. Mr. Ed was one hell of a Rhodes player though.

You are not funny... but the metaphore that lady used was.

Ive been trying to work it out also. I think its open D (DADF#AD) :)

Epiphone Olympic I believe :)

It's called Charango. It's an Andean instrument, mainly, Chile, Peru and Bolivia. It's like a cross between a ukulele and a mandolin, but with 5 pairs of strings.

Thank you very much for the info, friend :)

You're very welcome. Cheers.

looks like some sort of huevos rancheros from north of the border.

Not pizza

Jesus. It's food.

perfect pitch is like a large IQ; if you don't have something in mind to do with it, it's pretty much useless.....in music, a person with so so relative pitch and good ideas and execution can do just as well......let the roadies tune the instruments.....

@@dandog7840 okay man

He doesn’t. Just very very good relevant pitch

+James Collington he went to high school with the goldsmiths. as did i

not anymore

Massimo Beckers Aaaaww it breaks my heart that they've broken up T-T

You mean ARE they. Looks like it, doesn't it? Duh?

@@TheVeek192 hush

+cooltrain27 I really like Blake Mills but I agree... this was a circle jerk for simple minded people to absorb... the ending was so cheesy.

+cooltrain27 lol it's a video about him. That's kind of the point, isn't it?

+cooltrain27 He deserves it

so upset over a free video

You're wrong.
