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.

[@camkimbrough6103]

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🙏🏾✌🏿✨

[@barrypoland8589]

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.

[@camkimbrough6103]

Awesome! Thanks for watching Barry.

[@barrypoland8589]

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

[@camkimbrough6103]

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..😊

YESSIR! Thank you for these accessible lessons! And they’re funny. Awesome channel 🙏🏽

[@tenkarabadger5244]

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.

[@camkimbrough6103]

[@garyparkinson2341]

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.

[@camkimbrough6103]

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!!@

[@barriewatts127]

And a corner of Herefordshire too Gary!

[@sobeit1927]

It may just catch on in a little corner of wales too

[@robertTmojo]

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.

[@camkimbrough6103]

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!

[@seanyb5289]

I’ve watched so many lessons on RUclips this one is the best so far, you’re a great teacher brother you have a way of making it easy to understand

[@camkimbrough6103]

Thank you very much and thanks for watching!!

[@ilanakatzkatz8681]

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!!!

[@camkimbrough6103]

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!!

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

Nice! Yeah he was spot on. It's cool to see.
