Roots of Robert Johnson

- It's fair to say that we wouldn't have songs like Kindhearted Woman Blues, Traveling Riverside Blues, Preaching Blues or Hellhound On My Trail without Blue Day Blues (Scrapper Blackwell), Roll and Tumble Blues (Hambone Willie Newburn), Preaching the Blues (Son House) or Devil Got my Woman (Skip James). And in Roots of Robert Johnson Tom Feldmann takes you verse-by-verse through those songs, and many others, that played such an integral role in Robert Johnson's own recordings.
Covering a wide range of styles, techniques, keys, and tunings, this lesson will expand your range as a player and take you on the musical journal that created one of history's most lauded blues guitarists.
A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. In addition the original recordings of all the tunes are included.
Titles include: Standard Tuning: Lead Pencil Blues (Johnnie Temple), Blue Day Blues (Scrapper Blackwell), Life Saver Blues (Lonnie Johnson) Open G Tuning: Police Station Blues (Peetie Wheestraw), My Black Mama (Son House), Roll and Tumble Blues (Hambone Willie Newburn) Open D Tuning: Preaching the Blues (Son House) Crossnote Tuning: Devil Got my Woman (Skip James)

3:00 man, that lick!!! Thanks Tom for keeping the blues alive! 🎵🎵🎵🎵
I met Son House and didn't know who he was. Played at a local bar. Felt embarrassed that I was ignorant of his history. Many years ago.
Son was a legend, but any teacher would have corrected him on his sloppy slide playing. Plus,he only plays and sings in one key as far as I know
@@trevorrasta7467 all his playing mistakes derived by his age, condition and sadly alcohol always keep in mind that ho quality records and footage are from the sixties. In his younger days side by side his friend Willie Brown was almost a pioneer thanks also to the mentoring of Charley Patton. Johnson listened closely how he played and many riffs are actually taken by Son’s music
@@trevorrasta7467 sloppy or not, Im sure his playing was still impressive for the puddle he was in!
Keeping the Delta alive. Thanks.

Thank you for some down and gritty blues along with some real chordy nice stuff it is much appreciated
Well done! I love the way you made the video. Showing styles and not dragging them out gives a guy a chance to hear what he is interested in working on. Saved me from at least 8 separate long videos. Thanks for taking the time! Brad Lee
All Tom's video's are great
Yooo!!! Loved this Tom - thank you!!
Beautiful♥️
Excellent! Sounds like the old heads! Great playing and singing!
Robert is the Man
What a pleasure.
I think you are one of the best guitar teachers on CZcams. Keep up the good work.
Great job! I've studied this music intensely since the mid 70's. These skills are the basis of all my playing and performing skills.
Paul Geremia was my BIGGEST modern influence and I've spent decades attempting to be my own version of him. Paul's knowledge of the history is immense but, it was the passion that hooked me.
I've since diversified, playing electric guitar, and going to the "dark side, trad country music, which, when done right, has the same impassioned soul as the old blues.
So many blues players these day disregard these roots.... and it shows in their playing and performance.
This is the real deal folks. Keep it simple, raw, and project the passion and soul behind this wonderful music.
Most Important, learn to sing. Without powerful vocals, you've only gotten halfway there. Voice, like guitar, harmonica, is easy to learn, and very difficult to master... practice daily.
Very good stuff!
great playing....great vocals too...great style and timing...truly good playing...!!!!
I came into this thinking kinda of slow, worth the wait.
Nice playin
Great video. I'll be watching a lot of your videos, I can tell.
Great video!
Nice guitar !!♡!!
Merci beaucoup
This guy is the best blues teacher I've ever seen! THANKS, dude. Shalom!
THANK YOU!
Yeah. That's excellent. Thanks.
Tom's version of life saver blues is sublime
Yeah Ive never heard a blues like that
Great!
wow there's a great base of most of Robert Johnson's songs here... I don't know why everybody talked about him inventing the blues. a lot of great artists were involved included Robert johnson of course
I listened to a lot of white men singing the blues or at least they tried to. And mostly all of them just sound phoney and contrived. But not do you, Tom. To my ears your music just sounds somewhat pure and honest. And besides, you're a great guitar player and teacher, too. Thanks for posting this stuff, it' s just wonderful.
The similarity between Johnson's 'Judgment day' and Hambone Willie's 'Roll and Tumble' is staggering. Thank you for this!
As usual superb Tom.
Bro this guy is legit and he did my black mama wow
daaamnnnn nice
This guy is good !
sounds/looks like he's got a set of .010's on that old Stella.
sinistro esse som
the video starts at 2:45 you are welcome
Awesome playin' and singing' !!!

Only flaw with most of the 'Learn Robert Johnson' style videos is that they're mainly played in standard tuning. Johnson played in Open G (sometimes D), as did most of the old blues men (and women).
+Brian Anderson Not to mention that this isn't learning Robert Johnson, but his predecessors in the Delta.
+Brian Anderson Been reading 'Escaping the Delta' by Elijah Wald. Seems the 'tortured soul' stuff was (as you say) mainly hype, the biggest guilty party being the British in the 60's such as the likes of Clapton and Richards.
+Brian Anderson I highly recommend the book, full of much thought provoking facts and theories, though can be a bit heavy going in places.
For example, it had never crossed my mind that Mr Johnson actually played other types of music in public such as 'pop' and not just 'songs of despair', or even the fact that at the time, hardly anyone had heard of him.
That's enough of the spoilers though.
You live in Louisiana? You lucky lucky . . .
+Brian Anderson I completely agree with your statements; might I add that the so-called "deal with the devil" could have been a very convenient way to protect himself: in those days, a musician had a better life than the ordinary field workers of the area and could kindle much jealousy (mainly because of women attraction abilities); so a mist of mystery could keep husbands and fighters away in a certain way...
Greetings from France, across the big pond
+Brian Anderson Very good thread! I'm 65 and came to hear Johnson through the Brit invasion, like some others. Even at 14 years old, or now 65 years old, and hearing Johnson, you know there's a lot of people and a lot of money changing hands. Jonhson"s sound is pretty dramatic, so the truth (even if we know it) just doesn't seem adequate to explain the power behind that sound. I like the more general explanation for Jazz, R&R, Blues: "The pain of the rural South". Slave and post slave life had inherent drama, even if one's own life was otherwise uninteresting. I think today's life is also dramatic, but not so obvious as slavery unless you got the right lense to see it.
awesome, congratulations!!!!
👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸
Hey Tom. Many guitarists' right hand pinky spazes out and sticks out. It is hard to fix. But, if you are interested in fixing that problem for both aesthetic and technical reasons then you should think of your ring finger and pinky as one autonomous unit. When you pick a string with your ring finger move your pinky with the ring. When your ring finger is still, make the conscious effort to keep your pinky tucked in and copying your ring finger. It takes some work but it becomes a habit after a while. See you at the crossroads.

Impotence.
as a "lesson" video it's no good at all but I give it a thumbs up for your virtuosity as a talented blues guitarist and singer. Was a fun vid to watch
I think this is a sampler for other lessons although I learned a bunch from it.
This is a preview of a lesson DVD/Download that you can buy, and well worth every penny, and then some!
Is that guitar tuned down a full step ?
How to buy this gutia？

Can you please tell me the make/model of guitar(s) you're using (... particularly the one at the beginning of the video)? Thank you kindly.
What is this guitar called?
Very nice! Only one thing, the sound could be better. Not saying this to criticize just would like to see you bring out the best!
roots of whaaaat?
mannn
Roots of Robert Johnson. It's in the title.
Robert Johnson is a Mississippi Delta Blues legend.
What model Fraulini are you playing?
poop square
the poop square model
He sounds like James Lipton discussing Dave Chappells work.
And Lipton would have no problem, he's just that good!
Where can you purchase an unwound G string?
+StreetFightingMan1967 Only electric guitar string sets have unwound G's. There are so many different kinds (alloys) of electric strings that I'll just offer one suggestion. You can try em all, but this will get you going cheap ($4.13/set) + shipping. If you buy $40-50 worth of stuff, shipping is free. You can also just walk into any music store and ask for a set of strings with an unwound 3rd, but you better know what gauge you want. The gauge on this set is light.
www.juststrings.com/ghs-gb-low.html
If you look around on the juststings website you can also find where you can buy a package of 10-12 individual strings. I'd wait till you change your strings and just buy a set with an unwound G. You've got lots of options, but GHS Boomers work pretty nice for acoustic. If you look under the picture of the set you'll see "'description" This is where they put the gauges of the set in a chart. Only half the string sets on juststrings,com have the chart, but enough of the Boomers have it that you'll kinda see what sets look like at the individual string level. The truth is that any set of electric strings of the right gauge will work to some extent. Boomers are bright. Good for Blues, but there's
JustStrings.com you can order single strings in pretty much any gauge. John Pearse for instance.
I just know that you are fishing with a post like that so I will hook you up LOL !!!, go into any sleazy bars or juke joints just after Midnight , Brother there you will surely find one & many more in different scents & colours !!!, LOL, Peace.

I wonder who the total loser was who clicked on "unlike"...... can never please some people.
scampt dizzler
Gotta say this video is crap and nothing more than a sales pitch for this guy. Thumbs down!!!

A man's gotta eat.
scampt dizzler What about you be a man and get your kids back from your wife, find a new job and tell your neighbor to shut the fuck up.
Lee Dubya
Unless you are unemployed, I presume you get paid for the job you do. Same with Tom Feldmann here. He has spent years practicing his craft and rightly expects to be remunerated for his work and knowledge.
If you want to learn how his plays this song then purchase his DVD and pay the man for what you expect to learn from him.
Conflicting sources which give doubt to the identities of robert the 1st and robert the 2nd. Also there needs to be putting aside unmerited superstitions of crossroads.
the title made me think you were doin R.J. not one song from the master?
Im outta here click bait!
satan was good not bad ,otherwise no paganini
Plleaserefrainfrim singing
