      I could not agree with this comment more man. I've said those exact words to myself many times. I agree another very rare Nation Treasure. Valuable to music and cultural preservation and education to the degree of people like Alan Lomax and Pete Seeger imo...I have nothing but respect for this man. I hope he continues to churn out videos like this and the lessons he puts out. He needs to be even more in the public eye....more exposure to a wide audience...I would LOVE to see him do things like this on television and people are nuts...for not having him do a full length documentary on these topics and airing it nationwide.

    Thank you for being a great inspiration to me. Guitar is not an easy instrument to learn. But you make it feel very simple and attractive to someone. The greatest I love about this show is how content as well as the narrative of history are packaged.

  • @MrKago1
    @MrKago1 Před 4 lety +6

    The mark of a skilled player is their ability to make it look so smooth and natural that you could play it too just by picking up the guitar. Just watching him play, he does this so well.

  • @christygum3384

  • @jeffmckinnon5842

    "The Foot of the mountain"
    What a great place to start from. Taking the main structure and engraining into your hands to the point that you are now an entertainer. You can play a thousand songs by using the heart of the chord only. It's magnificent on it's own. The addition of a couple melodic notes and you are on your way to becoming a great blues guitarist.
    Hit the chords, on time, and then lightly flavor as you abilities improve. What a beautiful concept. Thank you so much Reverend.

  • @johnhendricks1998
    @johnhendricks1998 Před 5 lety +5

    I'm glad to see this man playing blues and representing the roots of the blues. Robert Jones reminds of Robert Johnson and Ledbetter. Mississippi John Hurt is another great folk bluesman. Blind Lemon Jefferson is a blues man I don't hear about at all. Each region had it's own feel of blues. Love Robert Jones story telling.

    All of this awesome. I'd known about blues being the forerunner and influenced American (and British) music, but hearing told like this . . . but the hip hop, I grew up with 90's hip hop and it was drawn from funk and R&B, and bit of rock but direct link with blues just makes it cooler . . . .its a living and experiencing that music history

    Thank you TrueFire for featuring Rev. Jones. The style that he teaches, is the style that I would love to learn, and while I suspect that he is overwhelmed with personal requests, I have one that I would love to see him teach. That song is, "One Black Rat," by John Dee Holeman, although, if it's possible, I would like to see Mr. Holeman teach it himself. That song, in my opinion, is the best Blues performance that I have seen to this day in that style.
