My Dad pass away in November if 2023 and looking this giving me sweet remembering of him play the guitar 🎸 😢he use to play like this!!!! And he play in gospel quartet music gospel. The name of the group was called the Cumberland Rivers in the other group he used to play with was called Slim and The Morning Echoes. He had a special way of playing his guitars he was like an old style playing the Blues I'm listening to how to use the play is guitar in I'm thinking now that he used to play it just like the blues players but I believe he told me that somebody when he was younger talking about to play a good time when he was younger and the way he played it is like John Lee Hooker. That's how my father used to play the guitar when I was growing up . I remember when we used to go to my uncle's house and he used to have cookouts at his house. The kids have to go down in the basement in a grown-ups be upstairs. And they used to play the blues all night long. And when my cousin was asleep they used to wake him up to see him dancing to the funky chicken or whatever it was crazy they are working out of his sleep and they would brag about their son know how to dance and they will wake him out of his sleep to make him dance do funky chicken or whatever it was crazy . Now Father's Day is coming up and I feel some type of way.😢 but listening to the Blues bring black good memories of my father.😢😢😢😢😢

Lonnie was my first houseguest in London Ontario ( I bought a nice yellow brick home at 177 Central Av in 1966 $ 13,000 bucks) I think it was 1968 and Lonnie was the darling of the folk music set in Toronto. He was playing a very odd gig at a fleabitten old country/Western Bar. The audience was very unsure of what was happening on stage as Lonnie obviously had nothing in his repetoire to suit their tastes. The closest he could come was a number called "My Mother's Arms" (which he performed in every other set,I think. Noone there had any idea that this fellow was a living legend of the Jazz Guitar,having virtually invented it along with his friend Eddie Lang. Lonnie played with The Duke way back in '27

⁠@@andrewlowe9969whats so sad is i see so many musicians who are still doing this music being ignored because people assume they don’t exist anymore. Even though they are right on KZfaq. Some people get very caught up on what’s playing on the air thinking that’s all there is or that somehow that music erases the appreciation for this music. Music tastes change and many people have a habit of hating newer music. I remember some of my Grandparents not liking THIS music because it was different than what they grew up with. Fortunately, you can find hundreds of genres now and pick whatever you want as someone is always playing the type of music people like from all eras of music. I met a 17 year old years ago who only liked music from the 1700s. Luckily you can find that too. It’s all out there and it’s still being played or influencing new music.

If you really love this stuff, this video comes off a wonderful DVD, The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966, Vol. 1 As old-fashioned as this may sound, it's worth buying the DVD ....Unless you've got a hole in your soul, you will NOT be disappointed. The other volumes of that DVD are worth getting as well.

There will never be another one like him...a true blues man!

Alonzo Johnson AKA Lonnie Johnson: 2/8/1899 - With a career that spanned nearly fifty years, this pioneer guitarist, as well as singer, songwriter, and violinist, revolutionized the role of the guitar in both the genres of jazz and the blues. His music marked the beginning of an unprecidented style of single-note soloing which used string bending and vibrato when he first began recording in 1925. He worked with a number of the greatest musicians of his time, performing with Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith, and Louis Armstrong. Django Reinhardt, T-Bone Walker, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and even Robert Johnson drew inspiration from this genius of a guitarist.

This is simple guitar playing for today's fretboard wizards. They can copy the licks easily. The only thing they can't do is play them with conviction, and that is why people still listen to Lonnie Johnson.

@shayanchoudhury5764 4 жыл бұрын

I know what you mean is a positive response to the music but I just wanted to reiterate that making people feel an emotion is not as easy as copying licks and running all around the fretboard. It is to choose notes which have relevance to the mood and the message you're trying to push through. Also nowadays, if you look at pop music, it isn't as musically rich as this. There are changes, movements, a simple story, and man hear that piano in the background and the walking bassline. For a songwriter today to make this music, well I think they would have to hear his music. This is seamless integration of so many different elements, and also musically different stuff on the different instruments.

Charlie Christian and a small handful of others created the idiom of electric guitar in jazz. Aaron "T-Bone" Walker and Lonnie Johnson helped create the electric blues side of the house. The man - Johnson - was a real pioneer who probably didn't get recognized during his lifetime as the real giant of music he was.
