    In the late 1960-s Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield did a dueling guitars with butter field blues band at the Fillmore auditorium,it lasted 45 minutes,we went back the next day for the matinee,he was by far the most talented blues gitarist

    After going back and listening to Mike Bloomfield there are 2 things I love about his playing. First its really unique and interesting to see and hear how he placed himself in a band and song, usually the guitar is center stage and even the driver of the melody but he didn't do that all too often, he played a lot more like a backing vocalist to me. Second thing is listening to his playing I love how earthy and raw it is even in studio, you hear all the extra noise, buzzing, a note not quite ringing out right, accidental string noise and so on and I love that aspect to him he didnt try to hide or escape it and just let it happen.

  • @thesunabsolute
    @thesunabsolute 10 месяцев назад +5

    One of my favorite things about Bloomfield, is that he just went for it with his solos. They were often erratic, and yet so perfect. They were so reflective of what the blues is all about, raw emotion. Listen to songs like East West, or Work Song, Mike was really going for it and wasn't afraid to play out of time or hit wrong notes.

    Albert's Shuffle from Super Session has got to be the all-time catalogue of quintessential Bloomfield riffs. 1968, age 16, played that album to death.

    Although your fingers are always easy to follow, unlike some folks, I like the way you break down the different phrases calling the notes out by their numbers relative to the major scale. For me, it just sinks in a little better and easier for me remember days later. The phrase you show around the 16min mark going from the b7 - 6 - 5 - 343 etc., really reminds me of Mike B. Another great lesson. Thanks!!

    He was humble and very considerate, in one gig in 1974, after the first song ended, one from the audiences screamed one title, Bloomfield answered him with an assuring voice "We will do it in the third song"! A true friend for everybody .

    That pickup line at the begining of the solo also exists on BB King "Live at Regal" I saw Bloomfield 3-4 times in 1960s. Later in the 80s I played with Mark Naftalin (Butterfield Blues Band) . I did a gig with Bloomfield's back up band after he had passed away. Met him once. Strange dude!

    Jack, I have been a fan of Michael's since before you were born. Haha. I go back a long way. You left a couple of his best works off your list. Albert's Shuffle is quintessential Bloomfield. The 30 second Easy Rider off the Electric Flag album is terribly cool. Are these Bloomfield licks in this video available on tabs? Are they on your Patreon page? Thanks, and great video. Liked and subscribed. BTW, I'm an All Access Member on Truefire and just discovered your courses. Taking the Tasty Blues Course now.

    @Othit 10 месяцев назад

    Jack, you are the absolute best at breaking these things down into pieces we learners can digest. There are many instructors who play well but can't/don't articulate what they're doing. Q: the I - IV change at the beginning of the solo (besides the triads and chromatic notes) it's going from from C maj pentatonic to C min pentatonic, is that right? It's interesting to figure out how/when players use a minor pentatonic or a dom7 arpeggio over these changes.

    @billgator2005 9 месяцев назад

    i've been a huge fan of bloomfield since the 1960's. bloomfield needs no long overdue recognition. he was fully recognized in his time as one of the great electric blues players. but! i gotta say that most who claim to be playing licks in the style of bloomfield are either saying that for clicks here on youtube or seeking status with their aquaintances. i have yet to hear anyone who truly plays in the blomfield style. to talkabout STYLE. from my time in the stone age, style meant one was recognizeable by one's playing characteristics, tone, signature licks, etc. no need to look at the album cover or say i play in the style of...one only need to hear the guitarist to know it was beck, page, clapton, abrahms, santana, hendrix, winter, BLOOMFIELD, etc....today players say in the style of "artist" and rarely sound or play anything that resembles what they claim. this deep dive into bloomfield is really nothing more than generic licks played by jack ruch.
    to speak on influences of one's playing. i think what happens is this. a guitarist learns of an artist , like bloomfield, and listens to some tracks that stir emotion, they saturate themselves with the artist, learn some licks that resemble what they think they hear and then believe they are playing in the style of"!@#$". and for youtube perhaps bloomfield is now a click bait word.
    just a little aside now. the intro you refer to of "mary ann" is played from the major penta over the chords dom 7 and maj 4. i am not trained as a musician but i think you will find this "6 th" is included in the M penta, the double notes are directly from the dom 7 and maj 4, so chord tones. and everyone, nearly. uses it. not just bloomfield. bloomfield plays many notes that are his signature but one needs listen very carefully to find them,
    there are many on youtube doing these type videos. all are roughly similar in that they claim to a style of the artist, but rarely produce the result.
    unsolicited advice would be play in you own style and do the analysis. leave the greats to their genius and you will maintain your credibility. promote oneself on one's strengths and characteristics, as a player, and stop using the succes, skill, genius of the greats. plagiarism has many forms...
