Man I remember the first time I heard Jr.Kimbrough. I literally went into a trance. It casted hypnotic spell over me.. I'll never forget!! Keep the spell alive..😊
Hi Cam - I first heard your grandfathers music on the John Peele radio show in England nearly 30 years ago, and I never forgot the Kimbrough name (even in that pre-internet search age). He was a remarkable artist and it’s brilliant to see that gift passed down to you. Thanks for sharing these lessons.
That was awesome to read and definitely motivational to know he reached so many so far and wide I feel indebted to continue his legacy. Thanks for watching John🙏🏾✌🏿✨
I got chills running all over my body. I've been listening to Jr. for along time. I'm 58 and picked up my first guitar 3 years ago. I hope I'm ready for this. Thanks Cam.
It's been 7 hours most if that was practice. I can do this. Thank you. It's so much fun, but what is the best tuning for this kind of play? Soon I'll learn how to make it chugga, chugga. Thanks again.
As someone with a musical foundation in rap, I really appreciate your videos. Took me a long time to find my way back to blues, especially being a Mexican from California. I’ve found myself connecting with Hill Country Blues especially with the rhythmic and lyrical similarities to rap, but it’s hard to find lessons on the style. Thank you very much sir
Cam, thanks for this lesson and thanks for your humility regarding how long it took you to get this down. I have felt discouraged by the struggle but knowing that someone who plays as well as you had to put in the hours to get this style down, well, that helps. Also, let's hear for it technology. It's 2023 and a random blues fan in Wisconsin can stumble across videos from a guy in Northern Mississippi who happens to be the grandson of Junior Kimbrough and is a hell of a player himself and offers up lessons on RUclips.
Hey Cam, thanks for your lessons and your music. I’ve been listening to and learning to play Hill Country for about 5 years, ever since I first heard a record of your grandpa playing guitar. Just wanted to let you know that what you’re doing is travelling far, and there’s a least one little corner of London, England where a guitar’s playing Hill Country every night.
Wow, this is awesome. I've always wanted to travel around the world, guess this would be one way at doing that lol, Gary I do appreciate your energy, thanks for watching!!@
Wow. Thanks Cam. I'm a guy who lives in Essex England and just want to play my guitar in my shed for my own entertainment. But. I want it to sound good to my own ear. Your videos are a really fun way to learn.
Thanks for watching Craig I really appreciate it, I actually never thought I'd play in front of anyone myself to be honest let alone speak to anyone about it lol, kind of shy guy in real life. But I do enjoy helping others and moving some feet and souls into good places and I'm always down for that!
Terrific lesson! Thank you for taking the time to make it friend. If your looking for a lesson to get you started with fingerpicking this is well worth watching and so much fun to play.
Right about 5:10 when he starts humming along…he is so in tune you almost can’t differentiate between his voice and the guitar. He’s just kinda messin around and his talent is oozing. I hope he writes his own stuff. Edit: holy smokes! I had no idea! Lmao, no wonder
Goddamn man, I'm a random guy from Scotland in his 20s. Been playin since 11 but recently started doing blues and finger style as opposed to like techdeath.You've just helped me unlock a new level of guitar playing. Thank you
Mannn, this is the video that made the thumb-drone technique *click* for me. I'm late in life learning music so watching old RL Burnside, Kimbrough, McDowell, etc. videos is fairly difficult to learn from. This was clear as could be! THANK YOU!
Even though I'm a fiddle player, I appreciate what you share. There is ALWAYS something to learn. One thing I thought, when you said you woke up and it was 'there' and you could play it. Part of it muscle memory, but part of it - maybe - is the melody/drone... whatever you wanna call it... ;-)... floating around in your head. You can't play it if you can't sing it. So the combo of muscle memory and the 'sound/melody' itself... is the Cosmic Combo... thanks for making the time to share. :) Always enjoyable!!!
Glad that I could offer something beneficial to you through my works and appreciate all of your support Katz always and I can't wait to see your finished projects and videos on your channel!!
This is just what I've been looking for. Thanks so much for posting this. I'm in Alabama and I'm hooked on the Mississippi Hillcountry sound. How can I reach out to you for private lessons? I can drive to your location, etc.
Cam, this really connected some dots for me. Thank you so much for the lesson and for generously, putting it out there and sharing it with all of us. Much respect, brother.
@@camkimbrough6103 Absolutely, amigo. And that’s a BEAUTIFUL finish on your guitar. I’m restoring a ‘69 Harmony H-165 all mahogany. Hopefully it’ll help me to get those warm, mid-range sounds. ✌🏼
Great video, sir. I'm a trucker, waiting to get unloaded and I found this video. Can't wait to pull my girl outa the case and try out your tips, tonight.

Good stuff & great approach to your vids. Keeping things light, simple, and all of it blanketed in good humor separates your lessons from most others on YT. Well done!
Thank you for the video. Your grandfather's music is very inspirational to me, and it's beautiful to see how you keep his memory alive. Saluti dall'Italia!
Hi Cam, I had the pleasure of knowing your Grandfather Junior Kimbrough back in 1982 when I was living with R.L. Burnside that summer. I got a chance to play with him at some juke joints around Holly Springs, and at his house outside town. He also made great homebrew. Junior was a class person, and fun musician to be around. Dave Evans from Memphis recently sent a CD my way he recorded at Junior's house that summer of 82 with me playing harp alongside Junior, George Scales on bass, and Calvin Jackson on drums. R.L. was there clowning around. After I left that summer R.L., and I played, and toured together for 12 years between 82 and 94. I played mostly harp, but guitar some too. Sitting in with him several times in 99 was very cool. And we remained friends until he passed away. Unfortunately partly because I lived in Europe for 7 years I never saw Junior after the summer of 82. R.L. would let me know things, but it's been a big regret that I wasn't able to do more to help get gigs like with R.L. who I'm on his 2 MC RECORDS CD's with Acoustic Stories, and Well...Well...Well.... But, I'm sure glad I was able to meet, and play with Junior Kimbrough. He asked always treated me like I belonged--right alongside him. Pretty fine of Mr. David Junior Kimbrough really. RIP. Good luck, Jon Beckley Morris
Hey man! Thanks for your job! Seriously! I’m an italian 27yo who likes delta/Mississippi blues and stuff like that… I mean you’re helping me to improve my technique a LOT… great vid, god bless you! Greetings from Italy!
Thank you man !!! This is exactly what I’ve been trying to be able to play….. You’re a great teacher…. This lesson will get me moving the right way… Thank you brother (:
Thanks for these tips. I have been struggling with alternating bass picking for years and seems like I should have started simple just like you showed. I’m glad I stumbled upon this. I was a fan of your grandads and the hill country blues.
just stumbled upon this video. man, i think your grandfather's blues kicks THE single hardest out there, across the decades (right up there with mr burnside and mr hooker). great lesson too bro.
Can't thank you enough for the wisdom and ,more importantly, the infectious authenticity. This channel cool as shit.
