I like that you call out the chords without complicating it with what string your on,what the name of the note is, etc. Nice job on Mike :) Thanks for sharing. cheers lefty
Really great to see a tribute to the man behind like a rolling stone, super session, electric flag and paul butterfield. quite a legacy. saw him with butterfield at philly folk festival in 64 or 65. he was pioneering soul man. fell in love with born in chicago on first 5 notes.
Bloomfield was my number one guy growing up in the day and his Super Session tone has been my tone quest to this day. Sad that he had such a short run and unfortunately, very little live video of him. Thank you for this one!
Dave, thank you for being you, that's for sure. I recently went through three ICU and ER episodes which I thought might put my music in the distant background of my life, then I completely stumbled onto your CZcams channel. You teach such a great variety of guitar players licks that I found myself picking up my Lucille for the first time since those Hospital stays. You are part of the influence I needed to happen to find my own self again. And wouldn't you know it, and it's so weird, I landed a gig in a super cool venue again. The Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro, CA. Your spirit is infectious to say the least. I bet you have some good gigs as well. Take good care and be safe always... Shane
Great! Feelin’ the love for Mike as well as the musical appreciation. Lovely low key, non-hyped delivery as well. Thanks for being a ( rare) non-shouty CZcams presenter.
Thrilled to see you have an interest in Mike Bloomfield. I’ve wanted to ask you to do a video on him for a long time . Personally I love Bloomfield, Thank you
Your Tele sounds nice thru you`re rig. Maybe humbuckers or too loud for the room? Anyway, great lesson. I could hear ZZ Top taking these ideas and running away with it. lol
Thank you so much for this one. I've been listening to a lot of Mike Bloomfield this month and just bought the Hal Leonard music book so this could not have come at a better time for me.
Would love to see Albert's Shuffle & Stop,. Thanks for doing this Michael was amazing! Also the first to use a 59 Sunburst, before Eric Clapton or anybody else. Dylan's Favorite guitarist
Michael and Joe Louis Walker were roommates when Michael passed. I don't know if you would consider Joe unique enough for one of your lessons, but I definitely recommend catching Joe live if you get a chance.
Great to see you shining a light on the work of Michael Bloomfield. I think Michaels tone with a Les Paul Standard was incredible. I wore out Super Session trying to cop some of his killer licks on songs like Alberts Shuffle. A brilliant player who burned bright and left us way too early.
On You Can't Judge A Book from So Many Roads that's Robbie Robertson playing lead guitar! Bloomfield organized the band and plays piano throughout. 1964.
Mike was on the hi fi back in the very early seventies while I was crawling around on the rug in DeKalb IL when our little town was still just a few thousand folks
Chicago Boy huh? Didn't know that. Season of the Witch was a big band cover song in the '70's. Of course Maak Naftilin was our mayors son. (Minneapolis) Steve Miller came to MPLS before fame a bunch but Paul Butterfield no. But we knew them well. A lot of old Chicago Blues guys used to play at a club where we were regulars. Great lesson. Thanks.
The two saddest news of a blues great passing are, besides SRV and Alvin Lee (let me sneak in there Mr. Ray Shulman), the Master Bloomfield and Muddy Waters. I was a little late in discovering them, but whenever I hear their tunes I just pick up my guitar or harp and let loose.
Thank you Mr. Late Night Lessons, I just subscribed. I saw you 4 or 5 years ago and am glad to dive now into your fantastic vids, thanks to Mr. Bloomfield and a broken heart.
Sunny was not on the A Long Time Comin' album, it was a bonus track on some of the CD releases but it dates from post-Bloomfield Electric Flag, he is not on it.
Michael hung out at all the Chicago Blues Clubs in the late 60's. He sat in with Muddy & Buddy, and many others, absorbing the Chicago Sound! Super Session is one of the best albums with Michael. " Alberts Shuffle" is one of the best Blues songs that highlight his clean solos. Check it out!
I love your work David! Do you have any lessons on cool expressive licks to play over a turnaround. Everytime I search turnaround licks all I ever find is the turnarounds we all know 😩
Great work! May I ask what you used for an amp for this video and if you used any pedals? Also how heavy are the strings on that Telecaster? Sounds like you're using 10's or larger on the high E.
Funny, I was just listening to Super Session on the plane home from San Francisco. Another killer lesson, as usual. I am getting so much out of your teaching, love the wide ranging variety. Everything you show us is so usable and fun to play. Thank you thank you thank you.
I really should inform you that The Electric Flag "A Long Time Comin" in it's original release did not have Sunny. Sunny was actually recorded later and unfortunately, it did not have Bloomfield on guitar and was added on as a bonus for its CD release. Other than that, love the lessons man, keep rock'n.
Can you try and do a soloing secrets on Eddie hazel, I know you like him and so do I, and he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Love the videos keep the good work going
Sorry if I'm moving too quick, I try to cram as much in each episode as I can, while also trying to keep under 20 minutes. I'm still working on the flow/editing/etc. so thanks for your input!
Not enough said about Mike these days! Thanks for putting this out there!
I like that you call out the chords without complicating it with what string your on,what the name of the note is, etc. Nice job on Mike :) Thanks for sharing. cheers lefty
I saw him play with Butterfield at the Golden Bear in Hunington Beach CA [was hoping for East West]

bless you for playing such obscure but sick songs. absolutely love the song from the trip
Chords of the Mighty Michael Bloomfield! Thanks, David!

Love the way you demonstrate musical context stripped back of theory but enough information to work out that if you’re inclined to. Thank you. 🎼🎶🎶🎸
Great! Feelin’ the love for Mike as well as the musical appreciation. Lovely low key, non-hyped delivery as well. Thanks for being a ( rare) non-shouty CZcams presenter.
I remember there was an old blues tab book that had Born in Chicago. My favorite song was his cover of Mary Ann.
Thrilled to see you have an interest in Mike Bloomfield. I’ve wanted to ask you to do a video on him for a long time . Personally I love Bloomfield, Thank you
Love your channel. Thanks for covering his material!
Great lesson Dave. Bloomfield was a monster player. Love the use of partial chords and the slurry vibrato. Keep up the great work 🎸
Your Tele sounds nice thru you`re rig. Maybe humbuckers or too loud for the room? Anyway, great lesson. I could hear ZZ Top taking these ideas and running away with it. lol
so true....
Great lesson. If you decide to do a Bloomfield part two, I Got a Mind To Give Up Living would be a nice addition. Thank you!
Love the super session album. Alberts shuffle
Thank you so much for this one. I've been listening to a lot of Mike Bloomfield this month and just bought the Hal Leonard music book so this could not have come at a better time for me.
Great lesson my friend!!!
crazy I was just going thru Albert's shuffle and you posted this...
very cool retrospective of Bloomfield's musical background and playing style. Thank you KC
Loving the Tele!!
I see Bloomfield...I click. Excellent vid Prof. Brew!
Would love to see Albert's Shuffle & Stop,. Thanks for doing this Michael was amazing! Also the first to use a 59 Sunburst, before Eric Clapton or anybody else. Dylan's Favorite guitarist
Supersession is the perfect album to learn guitar to.
Fabulous playing of Michael’s style.
Thanks Dave....Blues royalty In my opinion.
I love him too! How about a tutorial on his chords from the slow blues tunes. Yea, Super Session and the followup live albums. Thanks!
Michael and Joe Louis Walker were roommates when Michael passed. I don't know if you would consider Joe unique enough for one of your lessons, but I definitely recommend catching Joe live if you get a chance.

Great right hand my friend

That lick at 6:00min is so tasty!! Love your lessons!!!
The john Hammond song reminds be of van halen mean streets and zz top heard it on the x
Name that Tune: Born in Chicago- Paul Butterfield Blues Band
That Tele is sick!!!
Miss and love you Mike. Stop the Hate☮️✡️💔
I'm impressed with myself, I named that tune. No witnesses
John Hammond is playing rhythm guitar on Can't Judge A Book ...etc
Awesome! 🎸🔥

I always wished there'd been some recording of Bloomie playing with Charlie Musselwhite and
and John Hammond Jr. at his dad's (?) Columbia studio...
The "you can't judge a book" tune has a Bluesy Mean Streets vibe from Van Halen.
the 'Cant judge a book' riff/groove sounds a lot like VH 's 'Mean Streets' verses
Great stuff. I love your sense of music/guitar history. It’d be cool if you covered Canned Heat as they had some killer blues guitar songs.
I love your work David! Do you have any lessons on cool expressive licks to play over a turnaround. Everytime I search turnaround licks all I ever find is the turnarounds we all know 😩
This lesson is Gold to me, Thanks.
YEAH!
T-shirt Jimi Hendrix keeps gazing at your picking hand. He must be trying to one-up Bloomfield at the next Upstairs Blues Jam.
Great work! May I ask what you used for an amp for this video and if you used any pedals? Also how heavy are the strings on that Telecaster? Sounds like you're using 10's or larger on the high E.
Check out Johnny Winter's Shake your Moneymaker..
🎸

Great video! Bloomfield rules! Great playing man, is that an amp profiler you're using?
Please listen to the group BOOZTER ... Caledonia . 🎸✨✨✨✨🎼☮️

I really like your tone 🎶. What are you running thru ?
It's funny how little I know of him when my dad was even his roommate for a year or so in the 60's.
Great player though.😊
Sweetest guy I ever met. It's an ugly world.
Can you try and do a soloing secrets on Eddie hazel, I know you like him and so do I, and he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Love the videos keep the good work going
You need to slow down, be a bit more thorough.
Sorry if I'm moving too quick, I try to cram as much in each episode as I can, while also trying to keep under 20 minutes.
I'm still working on the flow/editing/etc. so thanks for your input!
And back off on the distortion
Your tone is always so thick, how do you get that tone? Whats your rig?
He was good, but BB king was the best imo
You forgot the solo on Shake Your Money Maker!😢😭😢😭
