I just spent all night watching this guy talk about guitar. Didn't pick mine up, just enjoyed feelin like we were chillin and chattin bout the blues

After about 5 hours of this riff, my wife cut my strings. I said "thanks for the new lyrics". Great video, thank you.

I respect this man.

Absolutly fantastic... The Country Blues has been my favorite music for 50 years..I'm 65 yrs old now,, from the UK..

There's something so comforting about the idea of his grandmother dropping some sage advice on him and him reacting with "huh?" That's some classic grandmother/grandson interaction!

This is one thing I love about the blues. The sadness inside the rhythm is so pure that it can make you shed tears over a lost biscuit roller. There's something so beautifully pure about that.

This Reverend Jones is one great teacher. Clear and concise even an idiot like me can make sense of this

The Reverend. Some can play; some can teach. Few can do both. Rev does both.

After playing Chicago Blues for 50 years, I'm finally able to understand what my Great-Grandmother Pat was trying to teach me about slide guitar when I was 10 years old. I am your new disciple. Ironically, that was the name of the street gang I was in growing up in the hood on the south side...Thank you Brother Reverend.

The way this guy teaches is legendary

Man there's a lot of wisdom in these videos. I really appreciate your thoughts and explanations on finger picking. Because both finger picking and slide playing has always been my weakest field. Im a heavy metal player, but I've always felt like a blues player at heart - being a born and raised southern man. It's like my ears want heavy metal but my hands of body wants to make blues. So for the last couple months I've been kinda lost on what I should be spending my time practicing on. I think I need to simplify things and start back at the basics. I feel like no matter how intricate and complex stuff I can pull off, I'm never going to beat the really solid and steady blues style picking that my ears want to hear. Music has never been about prestige or competition to me. It's always been about the love of the art. I can see this in some people. It's like either you get it or you don't. Cheers. I'm loving these videos. I'm subscribed.

Been playing guitar for awhile and I just got a resonator. As soon as I picked it up off the rack if felt like coming home. RL Burnside (and many of the greats) made this song a legend so I landed here. Thanks for teaching us this in a very clear and concise way with real wisdom and skill!

Good to see Bukka White still active

Brilliant lesson. Excellant teacher. Love the little insights and stories.

Peace be with you Rev. Robert Jones! You have awaken me!

Great lesson, could listen to your teaching all day, thank u :)

what a amazing well done and explained lesson from a true blues player thank you kindly...keep slidin .cheers

Great teachers are hard to come by. Rev you’re a great one! Many thx

Excellent lesson in every way. Love your camera work too. It makes a big difference in learning. thanks.

Wow, Rev Robert, you just gave me something to look forward to when I get home from work. Gonna get that slide out and sit there till I’m inadvertently shaking my head and smiling like I am when I listen to you. Thank you so much.

Thank you for posting this lesson Its gonna be the first song I learn on my reso in its entirety been checking out a couple other songs but this lesson it really captured my attention so thank you

Thank you, Rev. Robert! The is an awesome lesson. So mind opening.

Omg talking about your grandma and her critique. Hilarious. The lady knew what she was talking about!

These videos are amazing. I've always loved the old Delta bluesman, but I never realized how intricate this style of playing is, and I have been playing guitar for 16 years. Always learning and discovering something new

Thank you so much Rev. Jones. I love how you breakdown these riffs.

This is super helpful on learning to play. I commend you sir.

Fantastic! Great musician and awesome teacher! I’m hooked.

God bless you, Rev!

You don't hear songs like that anymore I love that music

Thank you for this wonderful lesson.

Thank you for this video! It really helped me add flavor to my blues in the pentatonic scale. 😊

wow. how have i missed this content til now? amazing teacher. instant subscribe

This is amazing not only is he teaching how to play but he’s teaching how to sing it properly how to keep it real and know what to do right it’s fantastic

this man really feel the blues, i need more lessons from he!

Thank you so much for this, i am blessed by you sir.

I'm definitely buying a resonator now just so i can play some blues like this. I've been wanting to get back into guitar for years and this video has finally convinced me.

Love this lesson. I'm new to slide but working on it, I pick up something every time I view it. Particularly like the rhythm approach of just muting the strings. I understand Robert is going to be in New England this summer, maybe things will be back to normal by then and I can attend.

Reverend, you are an incredible teacher!! Love the thoughtful and measured approach! Thank you!

I made this same comment on another video in this general series of lessons, but I felt like it was worth repeating on this one... This series of lessons are underrated. Players often talk about the mystique of blues guitar, searching for elusive paper or digital blues "grimoire"'s each one claiming to be the legit real-deal containing TeH SeCreTs Of tHe BLueS. Well folks, HERE is the real deal. Real blues musicians passing on their knowledge and experience, demonstrating and teaching "the tricks of the trade" in great series of lessons. Doesn't get more authentic. Excellent lesson. Great job!

Marvelous talent and presentation.

been pickin for 20 years and i just found a new teacher. Reverend i thank you for your time and knowledge.

these lessons are incredible thank you!

Que hermoso!😊 increíble clase Profe.☝🏻💚

Thank you so much for this lesson Roll & Tumble gonna be the first song I learn on my reso in its entirety after checking out a few other songs such as Death Letter by Son House this one captured my attention so Thank You

Oh yes that’s it! Just brilliant, thanks so much for the great lesson

Thank you Rev., for spreading the Gospel of the blues. 😇 I appreciate so much of what you do! You're a well of musical knowledge. A true gift to those of us who have a deep appreciation of world cultures in music. You're use of several phrases, not necessarily associated with the blues, was on point. You're a well, sir! Thank you for sharing it!
