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.
Man he's on point with his history of guitar legends, all those artist he's speaking on have paved the way for him and so many others in the industry and most importantly Jubu himself!!
Thats a bass players curse. They just couldnt stop playing while someones talking. Doesnt matter where! on stage, rehersals, bathroom, library.. until you tell them “bruh” we need to hear each other
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.
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
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. 🙏🙏🇺🇸
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!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If not mistaken that's his brother on bass and he is a genius himself... I understand what you saying but at same time he is on same level and can teach a thing or two too.
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
That guy playing the bass over his explanation is every garage band rehearsal I've been to.
ha, drives me crazy!
hahaha I was thinking the same thing, there's always that guy...
"He's a noodler."--if Seinfeld played an instrument in a band
Haha exactly what i thought. It’s that guy.
@@troborobo-1 I feel you bro. Same here.

Beautifully stated and profoundly true not just about music but living life.
Soooo.... listen to snarky puppy and stumble over yourself until your train comes into the station
❤
Spot on.
Where you at? Maybe we can jam
Jubu has a great speaking voice. You can hear his authenticity and humility for the craft. Love you man ...
Man he's on point with his history of guitar legends, all those artist he's speaking on have paved the way for him and so many others in the industry and most importantly Jubu himself!!
Every band rehearsal ever:
Guitarist: *explains something*
Bass player: DAdum...dadaDAdum...DAdum...dadaDAdum...DAdum...dadaDADUM
Thats a bass players curse. They just couldnt stop playing while someones talking. Doesnt matter where! on stage, rehersals, bathroom, library.. until you tell them “bruh” we need to hear each other
Bass player here: guilty 😳
Broooo the way you wrote out the intensity too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@therealvonfrmdaville 😂
Never heard of him before, but he is instantly a legend for me as well
I feel you bro, same here :)
I love how dude in the back stopped whatever he was doing on his phone when Jubu started gettin in on that guitar.
Music is so powerful. Shame so many people are glued to a phone screen today...
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 shut up
@@ertegin No , obnoxious individual I will not.
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 my head is glued to the phone screen.. to watch Jubu play! Ha
For some reason I always watch him because his reaction is so pure.
he cut it off right in the middle of some of the best advice! Thanks for posting
"Once you develop that you can go anywhere" - That's the key.. every legend has their own voice.
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!!!😂
You are one heck of a bass player man.
@@gregadams1160 👊🏿thanks my Brother!!
This guy is a genius. Never heard guitar like that before and it’s amazing.
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.
Jubu is a Legend!
Indeed one of the greatest to do it. A pioneer for us modern-day guitarists.
Such a beautiful way to resolve that progression. Mindblowing melodic sense...
Eddie Hazel, Ernie,Isley,Shuggie Otis,Albert Collins, Ronny Drayton
Steve Cropper, Catfish Collins, SRV, T Bone Walker, Johnny Marr,
Albert King
Great list.
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!
Jubu played that Howard Carol lick on Tweet's "Cigarettes". So killer.
I'm also happy they let the man speak.
I caught that too...piano player here..lol
💯
@@LarryOnKeys What's funny is most guitarists that play this style listen to pianist.
He created that “Tony Tone Toni” sound.
I always wished I could play rhythm guitar like that.🙏🏾❤️
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
You are a awesome musician
This man is the truth well taken
I could see in the studio and listen to Jubu play all day!!
Love to spend a day learning from Jubu.
He mentions Miles Davis, Johnny Hodges, alto sax...Listen to this man, he knows! no wonder he plays so gooood!
Beautiful guitar playing, beautiful soul
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. 🙏🙏🇺🇸
Very colorful moves....it's nice to see and hear something different.
Thanks for that knowledge! Man… The playing at about 3:05ish is just beautiful- ❤️
What’s the progression!?

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
This was wonderful on many levels
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.
That was amazing playing right there too
That bass player is amazing. The guitarist is also amazing. Wow! Beautiful playing. I’ve missed out. Thank you great ones.
They are brothers.
Thanks. Beautiful and inspiring.
What a tone!! 🙌🙌

the way them chords spoke to my soul
That's how the wind sounds whistling through the trees in the country.
Totally agree
Beautiful Advice… what a player…
Wow. I wanna learn off him. He's amazing.
The best you !!!!! Well said and so right

Beautiful!!!very inspiring........very good advice........Le
Jubu dropping knowledge on that young man is golden
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
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know him but I could listen to him all day. Sweet guitar, wonder what that bridge p/u is...
That's why this man is a Legend. Yet he is still underrated as all real musicians are.
Jubu . . . Thank you
guy is so good.. sweet chords.. thanks
Thanks for sharing your wisdom . God bless sir
it's the hybrid picking for me man. finna work on that even more now
Straight up Awesome🔥
Genius at work!
This.. is... Everything.
Jubu speaks and plays beautifully.
This man is real good I’m have to replay this video so I can get it down

Good talk, thanks man.
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 🎸
Oh man I like this dude. Sounds great.
...interesting to see him supporting the guitar on his LEFT thigh......NICE!
Is there another way?
@@kensmechanicalaffair most modern players have it on their right left. Left leg is classical position, super comfy.
Fantastic advise
Now just have to apply it lol
My favorite guitar player ever!!
Great advice😁
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
I want to learn that lick he played from Bobby
I love the soul seekers! 🕊
Smooth Guitar playing 🎼
Wow great soul
fantastic video !
This dude is ridiculous on that guitar! It’s not fair
I love it 😍
Amazing!!!
I think I fell in love again.
I'll say it. He's great. I can't play the notes, but I love to hear them. Smooth as silk.
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.
Bass Player most Disrespectful in the beginning of this video, jamming on the Bass over the voice of this Master Guitarist's Advice and Knowledge!😮
If not mistaken that's his brother on bass and he is a genius himself... I understand what you saying but at same time he is on same level and can teach a thing or two too.
Damn that drives me nuts…
@@nikulas91 You could say that again, most disrespectful!!!
@@jc9240 Grow a pair. Yall acting so sensitive. Get over yourselves.
Jubu is one of the best of our Era if not the best.
No he ain't, there' a LOT of dudes better than him. Check this cat out ruclips.net/video/WxHVlDHT7d8/видео.html
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
Love this
Good stuff right there
good advices
,What did he just said ? the guy from Chicago bobby mactho or something! love that signature key
Jubu is an awesome vocalist as well as legendary guitar player!
I didn't know him, but I like this guy :)
Jubu 💓💕
Listen to my uncle Wah Wah Watson! RIP!!!
That man has the knowledge.
Thr fact that he mentioned the pilgrim jubilees, which is a gospel group , is insane. The music took him every where lol
Un enorme guitarrista el Negro Smith
Smooth...
had to run this back a couple times!
He has a very pretty tone here
He played that lick at the beginning of Smoking Cigarettes by Tweet
Sweet.
"You got ears already." 🤯
Why didn't the bass player stop playing when Jubu was explaining, Jeeeeeeeeezus crossed!
Dude, who is this cat? Love this man.
Who was the second guitarist he mentioned after he talked about Howard Carroll?
Bobby from The Pilgrim Jubilee
@@Kcobb3000 Thank u!
