Outstanding lesson and playing - thank you Johnny!!

Love reed always dug that open g string on his e shuffles brilliant

Thanks, Johnny definitely going to be a fun one to work on. all your lessons really keep me thinking !!!!

Your love for this music is infectious. Thank you for your enthusiasm in sharing your vast knowledge and appreciation.

I'm really fascinated by watching you recreate Slim's sound. I used to love to watch him when he went to that ulta intense tremelo sound. When you recreated that sound, you moved your fingers but when Slim made that sound he kept his fingers in place and shook yhe whole neck of the guitar...FWIW.

Great ,little walter was incredible.

Always enjoy your lessons...You make it feel like we're friends and I never met you.

Nice .

Man i ❤ that groove!

That's crazy, thank you, Johnny! I'll watch for that 2-beat thing. I love this stuff!

Ohhhhh YEAH!

Thanks for upload !

Allmusic has a brief bio on RS Rankin. It says he was T-bones nephew and went on the road as T-bones valet. He also learned to play guitar and played rhythm on two of T-bones albums in the 50s. He became known as T-bone Walker Junior and recorded 2 records under that name. There are also several of his songs on RUclips. So far, I’ve listened to a Christmas song he recorded and it’s really great. Thanks Johnny for highlighting some of these UNKNOWN guys who are really great in their own right thanks again.

That's one of my most played records. This is so great! Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Top notch blues, Johnny! Y magnífico Emiliano, el primer guitarrista oaxaqueño de blues que he escuchado. Saludos desde España, a medianoche del lunes al martes, suerte que no tengo que trabajar mañana. ¡Gracias a los dos por esta maravilla!

Sweet playing, all about the dynamics.

So cool

Excelente 👌 saludos a los dos.

Digging left hand frank today .love it

Good point about 12 bar blues being done to death.

Johnny, Your downhome Chicago electric blues lessons are the best - and the way you explain "weaving guitars"! Apparently, Little Walter played a LOT of guitar on Maxwell Street - man, he was a gritty player! Hey Johnny, remember Muddy Waters' lead guitar break in "Rollin Stone" (1950) ...where he walks those notes down from the V chord? ... well, it sounds like Jimmy and Little Walter took notes!

Awesome ! Thank you so much. (You are tuned in open g here so DGDGBD not DADGBD, you did a tipo.)

brother dove in the house... missing all the grooves from jj's etc... peace and love happy new year! 2025 baby!!

Awesome! The most iconic jam by the mighty Magic Sam! A guitar "proving ground" like "Hideaway", " Frosty", " The Stumble' or "Okie Dokie Stomp"! Thanks, Johnny!

❤

Thanks, great video and there can never be enough Robert Ward. And Noah keeping Robert Ward's legacy going! You couldn't cover everything Robert did of course, but worth mentioning was the band The Falcons, Robert Ward being a prominent member and which for part of its history included Wilson Pickett, they actually did the original recording of I Found a Love. Other members included Sir Mack Rice and Eddie Floyd.

Just a foot note everyone should check out Bob Margolins guitar solo on Deep Down in Florida from Muddy Mississippi Waters live. Bob plays this exact guitar solo. It sounds awesome

Really dig the way the mic is picking up your foot stomp...

Much Respect Johnny True player

I like your new hair style!

Daddy's Got A personal Touch on this week's show. A good 'un! Checkout Wild Jimmy Spruill's solo on Elmore James' I'm Worried...

Great lesson Johnny. Thank you. I had never heard this and love it!

Charles Burjin, ma man!

Thank you so much, your the only person who knows how to play the type Chicago blues I know

Great video! New subscriber!

thank you johnny - you rock, brother!

Thank you for being genuine voice when it comesto the blues

Happy New Year JB. Listening to Pat Hare on Cotton's Cotton Crop Blues. 🤯

Hi Johnny!! this is Real Blues !! This is resistance and you are a great bulwark of it!! I value very much what you do, I saw you at Rosas in 2011 and in Craksdale in 2016, I promise that next time I will greet you, we are all over the planet

I remember seeing Paul Durkett and the Houserockers around the SF Bay Area...Great player!

Sing it first, then learn to sing it on guitar. One could make a whole playlist with versions of this tune or songs with the same melody (probably someone has ha!) Some players seem to have played it several different ways as well - Johnny Shines definitely recorded some versions with slide and without the slide.

I think B.B. King liked to employ jazz guitarists to play rhythm in his band, because, he said "they knew a lot of different chords". Leon Warren was one of those guys. He had been a Motown session musician in Detroit, I think, and later he was part of B.B.'s band for 22 years. Charlie Dennis was his replacement later on, but I don't know anything about Mr. Dennis. Great video anyway!!

Thanks for all the lessons, and a happy New Year.

Awesome bro, met you a few times. Im in the northwest suburbs. Love your playing!

I really dig the "Lone Index Finger Metal Pick" set up that I've never seen or even considered before... How cool can you get (!)

Great ones! I did a tour with Lefty Dizz back in -82 and he had a funkified version of ”Feel like choppin’” - he told me that the song had kind of resurge in Chicago at the time and ”everybody does it”. He also Said the song reminded of another song but he couldn’t get to wich one. So I just pulled the first I got to think about - Rollin’ & Tumblin’ and he agreed that was the one. I could never really get the meaning of the lyrics means. Feel like choppin’ chips flying everywhere? It certainly isn’t about choppin’ wood in a song about getting away/moving on. Any clue? Happy 2025!

Listening to you play that main riff makes me want to play Louisiana Blues.

I used to go see Johnny Winter play in New Orleans back in in 70 - 71 and his live version of that song was wild . I'd love to hear you tackle some Hop Wilson sometime , his playing gives new meaning to the word unhinged . You are inspirational as always !
