That guy playing the bass over his explanation is every garage band rehearsal I've been to.

Right at the end of the interview ….”Once I slowed down-That’s when it happened.” I’m a shut in due to illness, in a small town with few musicians and even fewer opportunities to play with folks and my greatest insights wasn’t a scale, a chord formula or speed….it was time, economy and listening, not to what I wanted to hear but to where sound lead me. I slowed down and would hear the harmonic content of the note and that would lead me to new places. I began to hear what sound had to teach me. It’s a bit like learning the geography of music, the map of what you are capable of, giving insight for exploring past that. I really loved this in the moment revelation.

Every band rehearsal ever: Guitarist: *explains something* Bass player: DAdum...dadaDAdum...DAdum...dadaDAdum...DAdum...dadaDADUM

I love how dude in the back stopped whatever he was doing on his phone when Jubu started gettin in on that guitar.

This is my musical Brother!! Proud to stand on stage with him every night with Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly. Plus he's one truly comical Kat!!!😂

Jubu has a great speaking voice. You can hear his authenticity and humility for the craft. Love you man ...

he cut it off right in the middle of some of the best advice! Thanks for posting

Eddie Hazel, Ernie,Isley,Shuggie Otis,Albert Collins, Ronny Drayton

Such a beautiful way to resolve that progression. Mindblowing melodic sense...

Excellent stuff 💥💥 What knowledge these gifted people have to share. Thank you so much 🥰 Jubu the BOMB 💥 Thanks for the great insight. You are a master. 🙏🙏🇺🇸

Never heard of him before, but he is instantly a legend for me as well

Big fan of his soulful playing ever since when he was around the Sacramento scene in the 90s when I was working with Robert Brookins and Wayman Tisdale.

The talent lies in your hands and your ears! There’s a whole shit ton of music out there - too much so to be closed minded. Great words Jubu!

Jubu is a Legend!

This man is the truth well taken

He created that “Tony Tone Toni” sound. I always wished I could play rhythm guitar like that.🙏🏾❤️

Thanks. Beautiful and inspiring.

That was amazing playing right there too

Beautiful!!!very inspiring........very good advice........Le

Jubu I love ur style of playing uncle bobby was called the thumper he did play for the legendary pilgrim Jubilees which was my dad clay uncle Cleve , Major,n Ben. U r something special my brother keep doing ur thang

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Love to spend a day learning from Jubu.

JuBu has established himself clearly as a voice to aspiring young guitar players most definitely! Howard Carroll did not need a Band but could carry the program, the group and the song on his back with no effort at all. I play too but have never seen a guy who was everything just on the guitar. Carroll was the man!!!!!

This was wonderful on many levels

Beautiful guitar playing, beautiful soul

Wow. I wanna learn off him. He's amazing.

Very colorful moves....it's nice to see and hear something different.

Good talk, thanks man.

I could see in the studio and listen to Jubu play all day!!

Jubu played that Howard Carol lick on Tweet's "Cigarettes". So killer. I'm also happy they let the man speak.

Jubu… word… this Guy plays with a heart of gold…& he sounds like pure gold too…(especially on “Golden Time Of Day”)…. A real kool cat

"Once you develop that you can go anywhere" - That's the key.. every legend has their own voice.

Straight up Awesome🔥

Thanks for sharing your wisdom . God bless sir

never heard of this guy..great musician!!

That bass player is amazing. The guitarist is also amazing. Wow! Beautiful playing. I’ve missed out. Thank you great ones.

Some guys have so much vibe you only have to listen to them strum a chord or play a few notes on their instruments before you recognize their extraordinary musicianship. This guy, is one of those guys.

What a tone!! 🙌🙌

Beautiful Advice… what a player…

Thanks for that knowledge! Man… The playing at about 3:05ish is just beautiful- ❤️

Great knowledge

The best you !!!!! Well said and so right

Did a gospel project for The Triumph Family, back in the 90s with Jubu. He was playing a Chet Atkinson Nylon string guitar. He sounded just as good, back then.

He mentions Miles Davis, Johnny Hodges, alto sax...Listen to this man, he knows! no wonder he plays so gooood!

Fantastic advise Now just have to apply it lol

Amazing!!!

guy is so good.. sweet chords.. thanks

the way them chords spoke to my soul

fantastic video !

Great advice😁

Jubu . . . Thank you

Beautiful 🎸

Oh man I like this dude. Sounds great.

Smooth Guitar playing 🎼

Love this

Genius at work!

This.. is... Everything.

I love it 😍

Good stuff right there

Well said. As a drummer I've learned it's more important to know music besides just the drum parts. Understand chord structure and simple song structure like what is the chorus? what is the bridge? where's the turnaround after the bridge? Understanding those simple elementary things will help you in communication with your band tremendously and they will appreciate it. Plus some of my major influences on the drums are not drummers such as Jaco Pastorius... James Brown... Jimi... Like you said step outside of your Box and sponge.

good advices

I don't know him but I could listen to him all day. Sweet guitar, wonder what that bridge p/u is...

it's the hybrid picking for me man. finna work on that even more now

This man is real good I’m have to replay this video so I can get it down

I told this young guy the other day that wanted to learn how to play guitar to learn quartet and he looked at me crazy. I didn't even explain why. I just let him have it. Quartet music will get you right on the guitar especially because they had to fill a lot of time with just a bass and a guitar. They had to carry the rhythm and lead.

Wow great soul

Jubu speaks and plays beautifully.

I love the soul seekers! 🕊

That man has the knowledge.

I listen to saxophone and harmonica players to learn blues guitar. Wind instruments have an amazing way of playing the blues in a personal way

Jubu dropping knowledge on that young man is golden

Jubu 💓💕

Great level here😯

This dude is ridiculous on that guitar! It’s not fair

Smooth...

That's why this man is a Legend. Yet he is still underrated as all real musicians are.

Sweet.

My favorite guitar player ever!!

...interesting to see him supporting the guitar on his LEFT thigh......NICE!

Awwman, this is a Kodak moment, lol to sit this man would be a dream, his talents it self, is a craft untouched down to earth brotherly love, awesome

Still waiting for the knowledge to drop out of his hand… xD Liked the suggestions on inversions and finding influences beyond your instrument of choice to develop ‘your best you’. Ty

I think I fell in love again.

Jubu is one of the best of our Era if not the best.

had to run this back a couple times!

I would have loved to hear this conversation from the beginning. We don't have any context to know what the topic is or the question that was asked.

I didn't know him, but I like this guy :)

Un enorme guitarrista el Negro Smith

Jubu is an awesome vocalist as well as legendary guitar player!

I'll say it. He's great. I can't play the notes, but I love to hear them. Smooth as silk.

You have no idea how this Blessed me. As a guitar player I always want to stay teachable. So I can learn right. God bless you Mr. Smith. Thank you Jesus.

Yea he is Sooooo legendary that I've never heard of him....

Wow

Listen to my uncle Wah Wah Watson! RIP!!!

My dude!

Thr fact that he mentioned the pilgrim jubilees, which is a gospel group , is insane. The music took him every where lol

A flowy, musical player

nice

He has a very pretty tone here

Please people when you have a great musician speaking... trust me they heard many people playing before you, and they will give you a chance to play. However listen to them every word don't play.

Dude, who is this cat? Love this man.
