Bro I'm loving these Hill Country Blues videos.THE SIDE OF MY THUMB IS TURNING BLACK! 👍

Bin waitin' for someone to do justice to this style of country blues. You're right, it's fun to play when you get it! Congratulations

Thank you man, love your song selections, your patient and thorough lessons and your teaching style. I'm having so much fun learning these songs, especially the RL Burnside ones. Would love to see you do more Delta slide style lessons!

You are an excellent teacher!

You have one of the best guitar instruction KZfaq channels. Your way of getting the point across clear and concise is your strong suit not to mention what your teaching is fun to play music that people want to dance to.

Nice groove great class RL wasn’t worried about perfection That man was a rhythm king .

I am having an incredible amount of fun with this. I do not sound as neat and clipped as you, but I’m working on it. Thanks so much for making these brother. Falling in love with Burnsides music.

Great tutorial. Four days into the proces, Im beginning to get the basic riff and I still have so much fun ahead of me. Thank you😊

I just watched another of your vids & subscribed. Great that you can both speak about these techniques & actually DO them as well, all the while keeping an attitude of your own humbleness. Well done...now I wanna try 😅

Asbolutely fantastic! Your lessons are great! Thank You very much for sharing!

Thankyou Sir for keeping the Blues alive!

Ive always played with a pick but have wanted to try fingerstyle. Your tutorials are absolutely excellent and have given me lots of enjoyment playing my guitar. Its fantastic you have have studied the hillside blues techniques they are awesome to play. Well Done.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

glad i found your channel. professional and easy to understand tutorial on a not at all easy to play song.

probably the most helpful tutorial I've seen on RL. thanks a bunch!

very, very well-done on breaking this technique down. Much appreciated.

You really rock man. Keep up the good work. I just subbed. I tried to learn from many tuts and I failed till I found yours n got it under my fingers in a couple of hours . So simple and straightforward without all those multiple stacked Xs of the other versions. Thanks so much .

Great lesson!!!!! It demands a lot of excercise! thx!

I’ve just come outta a Mississippi John Hurt lay me a pallet induced brain squeeze and now onto this. Your lessons are great, thanks! Well done!!

Great lesson! Trick song to play and get the groove just right, the video does a great job of breaking each component down. Thanks man!

Thank you !!! :)

Great lesson clearly explained. More RLBurnside please. Jumper on the Line would be really appreciated.

Reminded me of My souls in Louisiana by Otis Taylor

I think with patience and steady slow practice to start this will open the gates to Hill County for whoever wants to go there. I am starting my 4th year learning guitar and making a one year commitment for 2022 to learn this style. This is a great opportunity for all of us now. So I’d say lets hit it while we can! I’ll still practice everything else like Hendrix, Sabbath, Soundgarden, Kyuss, punk, surf and especially Psychobilly!!! Practice every day……and there will without doubt be steady progress. 👍

Thank you

Finally! It's impossible to find a teacher in this area, in The Netherlands, who can teach this style of playing. Subbed specially for this style of THE blues. Thanks a bunch!!!

You are adorable and an excellent teacher.

Wow this is cool

Hypnotic

Great video! I've been workin' on these hill country styles for years, and I ain't got there yet! Hopefully, this one will put me over the top! What I would love for you to take a look at is Robert Belfour's "Done Got Old" (or some of his other songs.. ).Or Jr Kimbrough's version...Thanks!

Awesome loved it at first time I heard of that guy I seen him on a blues documentary and I was like yeah he he brings you into it no doubt best to you 1 straycat 99 KZfaq... Same dude haha loving the blues no doubt

Nice job again. You really have R.L.'s stuff down. But, one thing I can say after playing with R.L. for years is that with all do respect to all of us wanting to play in the Hill Country Blues style R.L. helped to popularize along with Junior Kimbrough, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Belfour, what they had going for them, and equal to their guitar was their ability to sing right along with their guitar playing. Even the slightest change like in R.L.'s voice relating to the notes he was playing on the guitar just helped make whatever song he was singing stronger. Many years ago I decided that though I may learn R.L.'s guitar style I was not going to perform his songs in public. I've written songs in that style many from stories R.L. told me. But, I just have to much respect for R.L. to make an attempt to copy him.

Je te regarde depuis Paris en France et j'arrive à te comprendre très facilement alors que je déteste écouter en anglais. Tes vidéos sont donc parfaites !!!

ok fine... i'll subscribe.

👏👏👏

Здравствуйте . Спасибо за доходчивый разбор (не знаю языка) . Для меня новый способ игры без нюансов плохо доходит. С Вашей помощью есть шансы на успех .СПАСИБО! Вот еще интересная тема-R.L. Burnside Lesson - See My Jumper On The Line

I’d like to know if feedback has a video that focuses on open key tuning and strumming/technique that will teach us to sound like players , R.L and Kimbrough ? Thank you.

Hey man......thanks a million for this, and your other videos ....awesome tuition ! Quick question .....I'm a drummer who's been playing guitar for around 5 years. When I play this, I'm pretty happy with my interpretation ,however i find that I'm naturally using my first finger for the percussive strums on the accented 2 and 4 beats. Any tips?....stick with what comes naturally and focus on the groove ,or be persistent and use my thumb more? Anyway ,thanks again! Great video !

👍😊

Po black Mattie ❤

As you know, there are countless R.L. Burnside lessons on KZfaq. "Black Mattie" alone has several tutorials, all of them different from one another. After years of studying it, I think your lesson is the one that will finally work for me. Thank you a 1,000 times for uploading it for free. I see that other players have trouble getting the percussive click sound on beats two and four. For the time being, I strike and mute the low E and A strings with my thumb, while simultaneously flicking the open D and G strings with my index finger. It's not an easy shortcut, but it works. I just can't get that sound with my thumb alone. My love for this music exceeds my talent, but trying to play it takes my mind off my self-loathing and my tragic life. A question: What dobro/resonator do you prefer to play Mississippi Hill Country Blues with, especially on songs that don't require a slide? I'm considering a Gretsch G9200 Boxcar Round-Neck, Mahogany Body Resonator with a spider cone. I'm looking for something that does not sound like a banjo. Sorry for my long post!

Please tell me exactly what guitar you're using in this video. It sounds great and I think it'd fit my body comfortably.

Any tips on tuning to open g?

Kudos, this is perhaps the best effort to cop his brilliant style which I've seen. Only thing I'd say as an outside observer is that R.L. didn't really raise his hand up off the strings to SLAP them with his thumb so much as his thumb would just THWACK with a blindingly fast PUSH, through the strings. This gave his percussive dead strokes just a bit of that Guiro like scratch sound which the slap sound isn't quite accomplishing. Yes the edge of his hand which mutes at the end of the stroke had to be coming off and then closing down onto the strings, so that notes could ring in between the percussive strokes, but it appears to me that the motion he was able to do that with was just as slight as it could be. Perhaps he was the only one with the hands to do it I don't know... That scratch though man, makes me itch just thinkin' about it.

Best way to do it. Without the TAB the nuances get lost in the telling.

could you please cover RL's "poor boy"?

What guitar do you use for the vidéo ?

Whats the time signature?

CHECK OUT TOM FELDMAN

I bet your guitar had a cig after you were done with it

Banjo tuning.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNKJh92HuJ-udnk.html I’d love to see a good tutorial on this first tune by C.W. Stoneking called on a desert isle

I can't get the goddamn click sound!

I don’t know about most players.. but you’re losing me with all the details.. some things just develop organically as long as you play the parts.. Thanks though…👍🏼

I hit the dislike thumbs down button by mistake. It happens

It's COAL black Mattie. It's about a black woman. Poor is a circumstance
