Hey Peter! I really love your videos and built them in my daily guitar routine. Very helpful and well explained. Thank you very much!! Best from Berlin
thanks Ollie!
Great and handy lesson! I've been playing for 11 years and currently digging acoustic blues stuff.
Thanks Peter for taking the time to walk through this. Definitely helpful little lesson.
Thanks John!
DUDE YOURE AWESOME, and a good singer
thanks John!
3:30 im laughing to myslef at the simple, yet awefully complex Beauty of MJH's and others style. Brilliant.
indeed! thanks Tim
@@PeterKeaneMusic I have an affinity for Skip James and all his work....Not to start a "chat", but curious if you play his songs (or could share some lessons if so).//?? Also, anything more (especially lessons) of MJH is greatly honored.
Tim Hale Illinois Blues (Skip James) czcams.com/video/5pjT15NwIL0/video.html I’ll try to make a lesson for this!
that E lick is similar to a bebop riff.
really liked your series on MJH, great playing great teaching thx very much!
Thanks for this, hey helpful. Has a question - is that guitar you're using a wider neck than most?
I think it is a fairly typical neck width
Did he really record it in 28? I have never been able to find a recording that early. I wish I could find a fat discography of pre 50s delta and piedmont stuff. I’m obsessed
it's on this compilation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Epic:_The_Best_of_Mississippi_John_Hurt
Thank you! This is so helpful, awesome as usual!
Killer Peter, thanks for that bit of inspiration. Hope all is groovy.
thank you so much Peter!
Really wish I could this?im getting fairly good at blues but my brain just melts down trying the thumb and harmony at same time
EXcellent stuff, Peter!
Aka most badass lick of all time
Okay…who’s that standing in the woods out back? Mississippi John wasn’t that tall, was he?
Hero for this spreading the lords good word. Thank you sir
thanks Sean!
Would love to hear your take on Tom Paxtons "Did you hear John Hurt".......
Great song! I esp love the version that Dave Van Ronk recorded
@@PeterKeaneMusic have you heard the Dave Van Ronk cd "On Air" it was a live radio show recorded in the 90s in Germany....it has a great version of DYHJH on it....Dave was in top form guitar and vocally on this whole recording....
Peter, love the tune and you’re playing, but to me you’re bass notes lack clarity and definition. Maybe a thumb pick might help, but no big deal if you like it. I used to do many Travis style songs and thought something didn’t sound right until I used a thumb pick on certain songs. To each his own, but thanks for the tune.
Thanks Rob! I actually always use a thumbpick not sure why I didn’t here ( maybe because there’s always someone that says it’s heresy to play John Hurt with a thumbpick 🤣). Totally agree about the importance of articulate bass notes. Thanks for listening!
As a banjo player, this style of guitar playing suits me well. Here's my attempt at covering a Neil Young classic (Comes A Time) in a Mississippi John Hurt style: czcams.com/video/emQaHKzaf-I/video.html
Actually I think you are serving homage as much as trying to teach the next generation.
Honestly i don't think the next generation will be convinced to listen and learn from these delicacies. All this modern music sounds the same
The cat is a fan of MJH!
Yeah handy lick thanks!
Peter are you . muting the bass strings on the E chord?? My low e is really lingering and doesn't sound great?? Great lesson by the way
Hi Sean - Yeah, I am - more by habit than anything (prob more idiomatic Merle Travis than John Hurt). Not sure if John Hurt did it like that, but that quickly chopped bass note def works well with his music - gives it a nice bounce.
Peter Keane ya it sounds much better when the string is open to mute it. Just beginning to learn John Hurt at the moment and your videos are a real help. Ive learned Louis Collins and railroad bill so far and going to learn this next. Playing about 10 months now. Cheers for the lessons
cool - glad to know Sean!
Hey Peter..is that an advanced Jumbo? Nice guitar
Hi Gibby - thanks! It's actually a Southern Jumbo - pretty recent one, I think 2008. I love it.
Peter Keane I just picked up a 1954 southern jumbo with de Armand pickup for $400! I love your videos BTW
really great! good for you! :)
sweet lesson...thank you!
My pleasure!
Freight Train.....
What’s the tuning ?:)
Hey man, let me tell you something, you ain't got long enough left on Earth to get anywhere near that Guy.😂🤣😂
Hi Peter. I have played piano for 50 years, and tried my hand at acoustic guitar and even a little banjo ( three pick style). But I can't call myself a string virtuosa. But you have to admit to yourself that you still don't pick it like MJH who picked it since he was 7 years old. BTW, I like the Sam Chatmon version even better than MJH. But that's just a matter of preference; not that he played the instrument better.
Kenneth Terrell yup never said I could
