  • This week I have taken a look at a classic blues track, "St James Infirmary" I based my version on the "Snooks Eaglin" version of the song, and have tried to make it my own.

    Thanks Joe, you go at a pace I can handle, and as someone else said, at last Snooks Eaglin. I am reasonably familiar with the the great names in the blues story, but to my mind Snooks hardly gets a mention. Yet to me he is exceptionally diverse and sings and plays with great feeling and virtuosity - perhaps not such songwriter but his covers have a hugely distinctive and musical quality.

    Joe your lessons are so good as to regards about doing our own thing as to try and explain everything the right hand is doing would just suck all the fun out of it

    Thanks...I’d always done this in Am... I love Snooks and there are some opportunities here. Calls out for Dropped D tuning, doesn’t it? And I’m not sure if Snooks uses the IV chord...I learned this from Jack Teagarden way back and I always use the Dm or Dm7 in Am...here you could tune the b down to bb for a surprise in the middle for Gm, but easing the Bb fingering... provocative, so 🤩 thanks

    The Snooks Eaglin version is my absolute favorite of my absolute favorite standard, and you, sir, have created a wonderful rendition of it. Awesome!
    Unrelated, why do the video and sound not quite line up?

  • @TorontoCreatives1
    @TorontoCreatives1 Před 4 lety

    Nice lesson. Did you use a looper?

    • @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons
      @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons  Před 7 lety

      +donojazz no backing track. Could be done with looper though, probably a lot easier too, but not as much control. Thanks for getting in touch

    • @isaacoliver7303
      @isaacoliver7303 Před 7 lety

      Hey Joe! Umm I'm confused - at around 1:33 it seems there's way more sound than your fingers would be creating. Are you not soloing over a backing? Not trying to be picky just confused :) x

    • @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons
      @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons  Před 7 lety

      +Isaac Oliver yep Isaac I am playing only the solo over the chords at that stage unfortunately the sound and video are slightly out of sync in that section which also doesn't help, anyways hopefully you get the general idea.

    Sounded a bit like the Snooks Elgin version. Beautifully demonstrated and clearly narrated, even a dullard like me could follow it. Thank you, Joe ;-))

    @lawrencekedz Před 3 lety

    Please remember, this is only my opinion and we all know what that's worth. Eaglin's version is now easy to find. As for this dinosaur, I find it blasphemous (musically speaking), to alter a classic version from one of the masters that never really got his due whilst upon this earth.
    Thank you & keep playing.

    • @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons
      @JoeMurphysGuitarlessons  Před 3 lety +1

      There was only one snooks eaglin, As I say in all my videos these are just my interpretations of songs, I think music is about trying to put something of yourself on whatever it is that you are playing. I am not one of these folks who tries to emulate others to the letter, why reinvent the wheel
