No, a pocket knife. W.C handy "discovered" the blues when he was waiting at a train station and fell asleep and awakened to an old black guy playing his guitar with a pocket knife. He never heard anything like it. It was the first time he heard a blues progression and he memorized it and made the first blues recording St. Louis blues with a big band in the early 1900s
Whoa how on earth he able to play all of those notes using just a flask?? I love this guys clearly self taught style! Music is for everyone who wants it and this guy shows that. Love his soul!
Hay muchas formas de afinar una guitarra, y esta está afinada en otra nota, no como la de cualquiera. cuando tocas todas las cuerdas sin acordes suena esa nota que permite jugar de esa manera. . por eso se puede tocar con la petaca, o slide . en este caso está afinada en RE .
yes!! he is amazing isnt he! we played in a band together and he said in the band van how he was going solo and I said good luck and now see him on stage all over the world!! go Jack! Power!!
A year ago this video had about 4,000 likes. Jack is now World Famous! Just saw his World Class show at the Mint in LA. i am so glad your are finally getting the gigs and attention you deserve.
Just when you think this couldn’t get any better. Half way through this man starts singing and man. His voice is made for his style of playing! Well done!
Max Headroom...... their to busy on snapchat or some other shit I imagine! thinking id set up camp if I heard him tho,, McDonald's and buckfast would be the menu haha
Max Headroom IT was An example. People nowadays got stuff to do. And you dont have to insult people to het your point across."square fucker" dafug kind of insult is that even
and here we are ten years later this man is world famous and has been given the title of " the new master of slide gutair" aptly by the montux jazz festival , congrats jack ! you deserve it, little fact, he spent majority of his younger years playing drums for his dads band and at about 18 really started to get into guitar and started busking and traveling soon after, explains his expert control of tempo and percussion whilst playing
Oh my God! I've never seen and heard something better on guitar! Jack, you're genious! Truly talented! That guitar tone... Oh My God... THIS is the blues! Now I'm your fan!
Absolute killer original style. It's like there's a whole band behind him, that's how full it sounds. I could watch/listen to him all day. Amazing technique.
Pisses me off so much how this obviously extremely gifted chap isn't hugely successful (yet), but absolute absolute talent vaccuums like Cheryl Cole and One Direction are fucking rolling in it. Jack Broadbent is awesome.
According to himself (in a more recent interview) he enjoyed playing on the road, because it let him connect with his audience and experiment with his music. You could say he's been earning his street cred on the road, like a true blues man :-D Meanwhile, 4 years on, he's now touring and getting some of the hard-earned success he's had coming! He's coming to my home town in august - I can't wait! Here's his tour schedule if you're trying to catch him: www.jackbroadbent.co.uk/tour.html
Bubbletrouser I know this was written 5 years ago but anyway I assisted on a session in a recording studio with Cheryl Cole and I can confirm she is actually very talented. When she got in the vocal booth she sang her heart out & nailed it every time. Will I Am was recording her, they must have got about 5 tracks down & there was one note out of the entire session that was ever so slightly out by a few cent (barely noticeable) and he nudged it into place with auto tune. One note! That’s pretty impressive
I remember moments like that when my amp, my guitar and me were all in SYNC! It is the most amazing experience one can have in life and for the LUCKY few who got to witness it right it front of them when it does happen- just like right here for Broadbent!! Moments like this are rare when everything comes into sync!! This is what all musicians aim for -gotta check him out CUZ you most likely be paying a lot more to be seeing him do his thang Live!!!!
Thank god for RUclips. Thanks for playing and thanks for someone taking the effort to video. Judging by the way this is going viral on Facebook wont be long.....
Jack, I come to this video often. It gives me goosebumps. This style, and your particular voice on the guitar in this video, is a rare jewel. Keep bringing your dreams to us, please!!! Im so glad I found you ! ! ! !
I love the way he makes the song come alive, it's like for 10:02 a song is not just a song and I think he intends for it to be that way. Just do your thing and don't care who loves and hates it, I like that style of doing things. I watch this vid every day before I practice.
I love those kids asking their parents for more money to give to him, it is good to know that the new generation can enjoy good music too! Jack is the real deal! Very rare in these days
Wicked song, Jack. First I listened to it till the end then I took my guitar (standart E) and I played along. Its so freakin jammable! :) You are a real music talent. Im happy I stumbled on your video. Wish you all the best in music and other...Peace!
bravo, longue vie à toi avec ta guitare, nourris cette passion qui fait de toi un être heureux,libre,chanceux, c'est très certainement pas toujours facil mais tu fais ce que tu aimes, tu as ça dans le coeur , en toi et c'est merveilleux!!tes éfforts sont récompensés et te grandissent!merci de me faire ce cadeau, je l'apprécie et je le savoure, de plus j'aime beaucoup canned eat mais ta version est unique comme toi et bien interprétée, c'est original!!!amuse toi et profite bien de ta vie
Dammm! I LIKEd ThAt! Would love to see/hear him do this on stage with around 20 amps and a sort of 'quiet' 'bassy' drumming & subtle bass guitar complimenting along in the background... maybe fading in & out.
This Artist deserves NOT ONE thumbs down! The fools who gave him the TD that he got must be angry A.H.s........Thanks for poeting this awesome guitar playing by a great Artist!
Jack Broadbent ... hey, my new found friend, my day is made! Thankfully, I just discovered you through a random post to my Facebook page. I'm now a dedicated fan, and will jump right over to your website and buy ALL of your music! Being an old retired guy I now spend my days cruising on my Harley, and listening to fine tunes. I guarantee that your's have just gone to the top of my list, and I look forward to putting in many, many miles with your music in my ears. Thank you! Keep writing and recording and I will certainly keep buying and listening! Best of luck, and if you are ever coming to the U.S. , I would love to see you live. Cheers mate!!!
I love your stuff, man. You've got a deep groove and a killer sense of the microtones. Blues, not rock sloppiness. Certainly as good as Kelly Joe Phelps. I've just published a novel, Busker's Holiday, that you might like......easy to find on Amazon, etc....cheers from Mississippi
hey jack could you consider uploading a youtube tutorial for how you play with the flask (steel guitar style) i would love to know how to play that way :) thanks
Hey. Yeah I've got a few recordings of it. Thanks so much for filming this and putting it up. I seriously owe you one. I've gotten so many great opportunities out of it. If you'd like, send me an email to info@jackbroadbent.co.uk and I'll send you a new CD as a thankyou. All the best. Jack :)
Looks like a Roland Microcube . Sounds like a Microcube with bass turned up, and reverb about 1/3 . I'd like to know what pickups he's using . Piezoelectric ? Internal mic ? A blend ?
I had the opportunity of meeting Bob Hite's mother when this song was on the charts in the 60's. Even though the lirics said "she left him when he was quite young", she didn't. Regardless, the song never gets old and this was a very well rounded musical adaption of his music. A hermonica would go great here too. Play on, well done!
When you use a steel flask whiskey bottle as a guitar slide, you know you've mastered the blues.
try using an old spanish guitar with huge gauge strings and a cleaned out Tabasco bottle
Damn right!
Fucking genious you are
No, a pocket knife. W.C handy "discovered" the blues when he was waiting at a train station and fell asleep and awakened to an old black guy playing his guitar with a pocket knife. He never heard anything like it. It was the first time he heard a blues progression and he memorized it and made the first blues recording St. Louis blues with a big band in the early 1900s
And as that flask gets lighter throughout the day the Riffs get wilder
From busking in a rain soaked town square, to playing in Madrid with Sheryl Crow - now that's what you call a journey...
I'm a simple man. I hear fantastic music, I press like.
Whoa how on earth he able to play all of those notes using just a flask?? I love this guys clearly self taught style! Music is for everyone who wants it and this guy shows that. Love his soul!
He plays the notes with his right hand and fingers. The flask just changes the pitch
Hay muchas formas de afinar una guitarra, y esta está afinada en otra nota, no como la de cualquiera. cuando tocas todas las cuerdas sin acordes suena esa nota que permite jugar de esa manera. . por eso se puede tocar con la petaca, o slide . en este caso está afinada en RE .
Robert Johnson style music!
yes!! he is amazing isnt he! we played in a band together and he said in the band van how he was going solo and I said good luck and now see him on stage all over the world!! go Jack! Power!!
and when you hear him sing!!
I'm throwing money at the screen!
Tareq H 😂😂😂
Lol
Twice!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen... THIS is the Blues... :D Hats off
Yes it is!
that flask must be full of unicorn milk and puppy ears! the only explanation for that kind of sound. truly awesome!
A year ago this video had about 4,000 likes. Jack is now World Famous! Just saw his World Class show at the Mint in LA. i am so glad your are finally getting the gigs and attention you deserve.
Is he really doing big shows??? I don't doubt it 🇮🇪🔥🍄
Just when you think this couldn’t get any better. Half way through this man starts singing and man. His voice is made for his style of playing! Well done!
How are people walking past! Guy is unreal!
Max Headroom...... their to busy on snapchat or some other shit I imagine! thinking id set up camp if I heard him tho,, McDonald's and buckfast would be the menu haha
did you know that some people have lifes and appointments to go too? they dont have time to listen to music. people like you are so ignorant
SheepieWorks And people like you who have no romance will be the death of humanity as we know it.. RIP
Max Headroom sorry but i'd rather keep my Job and feed my family then lose it because i listened to a street musician
Max Headroom IT was An example. People nowadays got stuff to do. And you dont have to insult people to het your point across."square fucker" dafug kind of insult is that even
and here we are ten years later this man is world famous and has been given the title of " the new master of slide gutair" aptly by the montux jazz festival , congrats jack ! you deserve it, little fact, he spent majority of his younger years playing drums for his dads band and at about 18 really started to get into guitar and started busking and traveling soon after, explains his expert control of tempo and percussion whilst playing
Yes he has done it. 👌
This guy needs to come to america and open for George Thorogood, Ry Cooder, Roy Rodgers and etc. This guy is dawm good in my book. Rock on brother !!
Great sound mate U are like juzzie Smith.👍✌️👍👍
Cd is available on iTunes, just type in 'Jack Broadbent' and its 'The Busking CD'.
Really pleased your enjoying the music. Peace.
Too good to respond to us peasants huh? Did u buy you a high horse at the music shop?
I can listen to him all day long. This man should be fame! Give him a record deal, right now!
He has three albums out now.
@@fetishphreak I have to find them the second he's jamming out of that guitar 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Kudos! Jack Broadbent. Always sharing your awesome talent☺️
It's beautiful
How do you have it tuned?
Oh my God! I've never seen and heard something better on guitar! Jack, you're genious! Truly talented! That guitar tone... Oh My God... THIS is the blues! Now I'm your fan!
Britain really does have some Talent. Pity we don't actually see it on the TV.
Absolute killer original style. It's like there's a whole band behind him, that's how full it sounds. I could watch/listen to him all day. Amazing technique.
Giving dollar bills instead of change would encourage more street performers to perform thus enriching all our lives everybody wins
This guitar tone, my god.
tg72211 Open D
Yuumeda tone not tuning
!Красиво!Да

Pisses me off so much how this obviously extremely gifted chap isn't hugely successful (yet), but absolute absolute talent vaccuums like Cheryl Cole and One Direction are fucking rolling in it. Jack Broadbent is awesome.
Talent has no relationship to commercial stardom .

Tobacco Road...American Blues!!!..WOW Awesome I am blown away by this performance!!!
Awesome! You can feel the heart and soul with every note. Absolutely beautiful!
Sitting in the rain even forget to open his case - desperation and talent together creates stars.
ahhhh it never gets old no matter how many times you hear it!
vxlgsi Why did you comment the same thing twice?
+Nefarian i have a stutter
He the man ...that's one mean sound...wow..😊
This guy is awesome...a world class musician. Anyone who plays slide knows how great he is.
WOW This is so awesome, this guy needs to head to Memphis!
Has a bit of a Dave Hole sound to it
I remember moments like that when my amp, my guitar and me were all in SYNC! It is the most amazing experience one can have in life and for the LUCKY few who got to witness it right it front of them when it does happen- just like right here for Broadbent!!

loved that and will forevermore!!!! his cases should be full! respect
Love this guy... Awesome talent that God has blessed him with!
im suprised the police didnt arrest him for making that guitar scream the way it did, but in all seriousness, this is absolutly phenomenal.

Joe Petito "" ME TOO!, makes my day!!!! Awesome Dude!! All positive!!! Super!!
Thank god for RUclips. Thanks for playing and thanks for someone taking the effort to video. Judging by the way this is going viral on Facebook wont be long.....

Невероятная игра и оригинальное исполнение. Молодец! Очень понравилось. Есть же такие таланты!
I love the way he makes the song come alive, it's like for 10:02 a song is not just a song and I think he intends for it to be that way. Just do your thing and don't care who loves and hates it, I like that style of doing things. I watch this vid every day before I practice.
WOW Dude! 🎉You belong in a Recording Studio making RECORDS… ❤ FABULOUS‼️😎

My whiskey flask just makes me worse at playing music
phoenixsplash135 Hahaha but the Radio gets louder !
+phoenixsplash135 And what ever you say gets wiser and wiser (what we call WT = wise talk) ;-D
Mine follows a parabolic curve - I get better at drumming with the first couple shots, then I get worse.
Jack....................you made my day..lead bass n drums on an acoustic with a whiskey flask.................too cool for school
Awesome blues bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bless This guy!!!! He is keeping the world go round!!!... Briliant my man!! much love from Melbourne!!

Dammm! I LIKEd ThAt!
Would love to see/hear him do this on stage with around 20 amps and a sort of 'quiet' 'bassy' drumming & subtle bass guitar complimenting along in the background... maybe fading in & out.

Jack Broadbent what brought you to Keswick ?
Dale Mcalpine I lived in Loweswater for a year, so Keswick was my local town.
Jack Broadbent cool, just wondering how we missed each other when I have preached in Keswick.
Jack Broadbent You rock man!
this man is brilliant...cant get my head round how he gets that sound with the instruments that he is using...
Does anyone knows what kind of amp is he using? sounds amazing! great blues-slide guitar player
+Francov2007 I believe it's a Roland micro cube
+Matt That sound is just coming straight out of the guitar? No effects? Does the amp have effects?
It's a modeling amp that has built-in effects. I think he's using a light overdrive and maybe a bit of reverb
Looks like a Roland Microcube . Sounds like a Microcube with bass turned up, and reverb about 1/3 .
I'd like to know what pickups he's using . Piezoelectric ? Internal mic ? A blend ?
I had the opportunity of meeting Bob Hite's mother when this song was on the charts in the 60's. Even though the lirics said "she left him when he was quite young", she didn't. Regardless, the song never gets old and this was a very well rounded musical adaption of his music. A hermonica would go great here too. Play on, well done!
awesome.. what's the tuning on the guitar? open G?
D
