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.

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

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!!!😂

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

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

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

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!

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

Jubu is a Legend!

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!!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

This man is the truth well taken

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.

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. 🙏🙏🇺🇸

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.

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

the way them chords spoke to my soul

never heard of this guy..great musician!!

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

Love to spend a day learning from Jubu.

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.

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.

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

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

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

This was wonderful on many levels

Jubu dropping knowledge on that young man is golden

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

That was amazing playing right there too

What a tone!! 🙌🙌

Love this

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

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

Beautiful guitar playing, beautiful soul

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

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

This.. is... Everything.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Sooooooooo the bass player finally shut up...Damm

Beautiful Advice… what a player…

Thanks. Beautiful and inspiring.

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

Jubu speaks and plays beautifully.

My favorite guitar player ever!!

Jubu . . . Thank you

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

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

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

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

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

Thanks for sharing your wisdom . God bless sir

I love the soul seekers! 🕊

Great knowledge

guy is so good.. sweet chords.. thanks

Genius at work!

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

Straight up Awesome🔥

Fantastic advise Now just have to apply it lol

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

Good talk, thanks man.

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

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

Oh man I like this dude. Sounds great.

Beautiful 🎸

Great advice😁

Smooth Guitar playing 🎼

That man has the knowledge.

Wow great soul

Why didn't the bass player stop playing when Jubu was explaining, Jeeeeeeeeezus crossed!

Amazing!!!

Jubu 💓💕

I love it 😍

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

fantastic video !

I think I fell in love again.

Good stuff right there

He has a very pretty tone here

Probably plugging into a little practice amp but guy still has TONE. That's another thing guitarists must learn, how do find and master their tone. You can have all the chops in the world and if you're tone sucks, it's not gonna matter at all

Great level here😯

good advices

Good insight. Trying to compose a solo? Listen to everything. Even step outside and listen to the birds. I like to listen to piano improv for ideas.

Smooth...

Un enorme guitarrista el Negro Smith

He played that lick at the beginning of Smoking Cigarettes by Tweet

had to run this back a couple times!

,What did he just said ? the guy from Chicago bobby mactho or something! love that signature key
