Ten minutes every blues player needs in their knowledge locker. Many thanks for this lesson. 75 and still learning.
john tripp 13 and startin learnin
Mitz Hughes 17 not having intention of stopping learning
That's awesome
33 and definitely learning as well. Hopefully still learning at 85 as well :) .
John Tripp ... seems a familiar name.. did I hear some of YOUR music before?Hehe.
59 and just scratching the surface
“Might cost 3$, 5$ or heaven help us 10$”
This guys got that great extremely dry humor
10$ in the 1920's is around 129$ in today's money. Poor people can barely afford food or shelter, let alone a more expensive instrument.
I know that I'm just saying it was funny
@@rafaelsanchez580 these guitars can cost over $3k nowadays...it's interesting how money value changed over the years

No inflation because bitcoin is kind of like gold, there are only so much bitcoins that can ever be in existence, it's not like fiat currency you just print more of. (over 9500 on 23 july 2020)
My day just got so much better...Rev.Jones you are wonderful
. . . music that people are dancing to, drinking to, fightin' to. The blues.
Is there a single song for all this?
@@moogoomoogoo5990 The Jack ?
Moogoomoogoo cold shot by SRV?
Zizzi's Genetics idk I just imagined it in a cheesy 80s movie bar fight
I think what he means is you can control the crowd if people are fighting, dancing etc like in Crossroads the movie
You are a good teacher, Rev. Jones; even to people that we don't play guitar. 😏 But, we feel and love the blues. Greetings from Monterrey, México. 🤙🏼 5-4

Eeee yo tmb soy de Monterrey jajaj
@@fergarza3141 Jajaja. ¡Qué casualidad, mi buen! Es bueno saber que en Monterrey hay personal que le gusta el blues 🤙🏼y no reaggeton, banda, cumbia, etc. Saludotes, paisa. 😁 5-4
I always feel so much smarter after watching his video lessons.
Awesome teacher! Most than can play are not able to teach, this gentleman has it all, what an honour to learn from Rev. Rob!!
Thanks Rev. Jones! Charlie Paton was Native American! And he was before Robert Johnson and has been greatly overlooked.
I LOVE playing slide. I think I may have taken where it quite hasn't gotten too yet. I thank and Love Our african elders who brought us this great music.
We are all related. All elders are my elders if I feel that way.
that is the prettiest Resonator I've seen. A real beauty. You play it like a master.
I played on one of those metal guitars today. Not as fancy or old as this one, but still. It was unique. The thing is heavy, and it's got a bit of a metallic sound. It also sounds a bit like an electric guitar.
This guy is great. He really paints a picture of the past well. Good job
Some of the best teaching I've ever seen on this subject. Thanks so much Rev!
Just wanna say thank you for sharing the knowledge and experience. Deep stuff.
I could listen to this guy all day
Beautiful guitar. I have a Gretsch copy of a wooden body 30’s resonator . It struck me one day that I’m sat with a multi hundreds guitar emulating guy’s that had nothing. I only really play in open D. Since discovering it makes sense. The only people I have met here in the UK that can play it in open D. Are Irish people,as Irish folk is played in open D often. Just found your channel after well over 5 years on RUclips looking for this sort of video.
When I finally get the pick out of my soundhole 04:20
I actually laughed out loud......Nice one.xD
Well sugar. I'm gonna go tune my guitar into open G and try this out.
Always a pleasure to listen to the Rev.
Holy cow, Robert. You just popped up on my RUclips recommendations and I was looking at the tiny thumbnail, and kept thinking that guy looked a lot like you.... so I clicked on it.. and it is!!! Awesome.
Reverend, this is amazing. Thank you for doing this.
Those also look so cool, you can see the Art Deco influence in its design, stunning.
I just clicked play and I have to tell you folks this guy should be in the shopping channel, I definitely sold on what ever you sell mister!
The most authentic blues lesson available
Could listen to him all day
One of the biggest shows I've ever performed was opening for Rev. Jones at the Ten Pound Fiddle.
Beautifully presented.
I were a Cathideral singer and have a triple octave. Lowest is Bass Baritone after a warm up.
I felt like I was getting a PhD in blues. Love all of this
I’ve been studying the blues on guitar for a couple years now, and you just changed my life with this video.... you just helped me understand the blues a little better, thank you
its 90% feeling 10% organizing what you're putting out on the instrument in your head to make it sound best.
Awesome lesson and fun presentation! Luv the foundation too!
Wow, nice. Thank you for taking time for making this video. Love the history too.
Killer lesson, and even better Charley Patton impersonation! 👏🏻
He looks like a real deal blues man
Really appreciate all the cool history and love for the evolution of music. Thanks for sharing
When I saw his name was Reverend Robert Jones I already knew he could shred that slide on some meannn blues
I want to hear some fighting blues. This is amazing.
Enjoying with a JD, very cool
Thank u sir. It was very educational for me.
9:10 he sounds like Rakus from the boondocks
Thanks for the vid.
Just awesome.. thank you
Would love to spend some time learning from the Reverend !🎸🎼🎶
You know so much. Thank you for sharing
This was great!! Open tuning is all I really play. If you ever get a chance, you should show some stuff in open c!! Thanks for the tunes!
This dude is so cool man
Reverend, I got myself a resonator yesterday, from a friend who can't play anymore due to medical issues, and I'm trying to find an attachment point for my strap but can't find pictures of how or where it's attached to wear it like you hold yours...... can you please show me how it looks like? Thanks!
His voice reminded me so much of Abraham Laboriel!!
ya got the look down pat
When you come across this video late at night and need to sleep, but your guitar is staring at you in the corner.
the cameras not being synced together hurts my head.
the pick-and-resonator close-up cam is little earlier than the other two, and the neck close-up cam is slightly behind the wide.
Awesome more please , I need help with Open G &E
love it. i need to learn to play.
Its tht guitar from dire straits album
Fantastic playing, Reverend Jones, thanks for the informative lesson! Is your guitar a National Duolian?
The history lesson infused into this 💯
Wrote a song about it....Like to hear it? Here it go.....
Thank ya very much!!!
(David Alan Grier) on In Living Color......He sounded just like the Reverend here....
Today, I will go get myself a slide.
The 14 fret has a different tone than the 12. What is the actual scale difference?
4:20 JAJAJA EXCELENTE
Hm, he's a very well spoken man.
I have always felt intimidated by resonator guitars. I love the Delta sound, and wished I could play it.
I think I will just stick to the bass guitar.
I went down to the crossroads in December and sold my soul to Santa...
Jimmy Paige must have watched this here feller on youtubes
Curtis Lowes long lost son.
I got rid of the sixth string and never looked back.
Which guitar is this?
Finally!! A black guy teaching blues guitar! Not even trying to be weird.... too late lol
Struggles on the pentatonic scale..pulls out slide...magic..
Well to be fair, since it is a slide guitar the action is a lot higher than would be comfortable
Imdor the nut isn’t the only thing determining action though, he could have his neck bowed, which is typically how the action is set on an acoustic
@@fooball4589 you mean that his neck is intentionally bowed?
Mariano Abundiz yes, by twisting the truss rod on an acoustic you will bow the neck, which changes the action. This is typically how it’s changed
@@fooball4589 yes i got that but I am guessing that most people who play slide prefer their action this way. Must be easier to slide.
I remember buying a Mississippi John Hurt tab book. My guitar teacher said, "If you learn this you can teach me"
Christopher Bako did you learn it tho?
A friend of mine has spent years learning to play like Mississippi John Hurt. I wish I had his dedication. My technique is a pretty basic pick-n-scratch.
@@gebirg1 He was a Beast! I Love his "Candyman"
😂😂😂😂😂
It was like watching Bob Ross playing guitar.
You mean Marty?
Blues musicians especially the ones from Mississippi in the 50s are one of the people I respect the most. Most of them never learned how to read music or even guitar tablature, only label the sound they are familiar with. The sound they make is a pure sound of soul, skill and experience
Even today the Delta is like going back in time fifty years. A neat place and in some ways still a sad place in terms of poverty and racial separation
I used to go to Greenwood MS for work and that place looks like the blues. That is where the movie The Help was filmed
John Lee Hooker used The same shuffle on every song.
Music aint in no tabs or notation its in the soul
... and the root of almost all music today. Amazing.
Tablature was developed in the 1300s, but was popularized in the late 60s/early 70s to translate guitar specific music to the written page. More user friendly if you will.
6:55 "Seagulls, I said stop it now!"
I think im the only one that got this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bad lip reading ?
What's that stank?
Holy shit that’s uncanny
😂😂😂😂😂
Man I'm barely over 1 month into learning guitar and you're making me wanna go out and spend my savings on a resonator LOL. These videos are awesome.
Do it, Joe!!
Gretsch honey dipper
Im 40 years old and just diggin into the 4 bar blues now and ill tell ya i het more enjoyment and inspiration outta this than i ever did outta 25 years of standard tune!!! Its amazing!! I thought i was done learning the guitar but im just starting gentleman and these types of videos are invaluable.
Crazy isn’t it? While I like a lot of music that came out of the blues, I always end up walking right back to the delta blues style. There’s something timeless about it
I would like to say THANK YOU for the way you recorded this.
One camera on him, another on his right hand, another on the guitar arm.
Perfect.
Congratulations.
It's really hard to find people who do this
"when you pick up a banjo, it's tuned"
Gonna stop you right there chief
I think he was saying that it’s specifically tuned to a chord, not that it’s IN tune
@@Ty1350 r/woooooOOoOosh
Brady Libby hahahahahahahahahahaha so funny
@@Ty1350 yes it indeed was funny
This one got a legitimate laugh-out-loud from me, good job!
I really like this guy ,the way he explains things it's like he's talking to you personally. Very noledgable about the Blues History as well.And he can swing a pretty good guitar to.Keep bringing it on Bro.😊😎
Bro this is very helpful great content!
I'm an Asian boy who really wants to play old blues
OI1E why did you mention you’re Asian?
Richard Johnson I guess because it’s not too common to see a Asian playing the Blues
Zizzi's Genetics No, I actually have not
I understand. When I started to play in 92 there was no asian playing blues or the like. It was hard to find a teacher of that genre too. Took lessons at Marshall Music near East Lansing for alittle bit
@@user-jn5yi5cp8d There's a lot of East-Asian people who play blues, especially Japanese. Hugo is Thai, plays some mean blues. Well, he's half-Thai.
I love how he tunes it all in seconds with no sweat
This man becomes the embodiment of the guitar when he pulls out the slide bar. Much praise.
4:20 the noise you make when that stimulus checks hits your acct.
these kinds of videos are historical treasures.
Yup, videos of first hand sources is a hard and rare thing that needs done more, so much info and tricks sometimes gets lost from not doing such.
Great seeing you. Haven't seen you in years. Last time I saw your live show was in the 90's! Saw some video you did for Dearborn schools awhile ago. Enjoyed that. The Rev is a great historian of the blues. Also miss, though did catch the show a lot when you had the WDET radio show. Keep on keepin' on!
4:20 priceless :-D
this is the right timecode where you are always supposed to make that sound
I knew I recognized that Riff you play around 6:17. I'm no Blues Historian, but I know it from: Sweet Mama Brown - Austin Walkin' Cane
Now that's some DANCIN' MUSIC.
Livin' Workin' Dyin' (Don't Come Easy) & One Heart Walking by Austin Cane is also as Amazing.
I got to see Sugar Blue Live in a small Cleveland Club 2 Tables from the Front & Austin opened for him. Two Legends in the same place letting loose.
When I noticed that the 1st 3 songs of Austin's stuff sounded like it was straight from Lightnin' Hopkins & Blind Lemon he locked eyes with me & was... I mean, I thought he was kind of angry at first like I called him a rip-off Artist or something but then he says to me "You know, I've been to Germany & played every Blues bar on the Devil's Highway, & that is the best compliment I think I've ever gotten."
I bought all of his Albums & both of Sugar Blue's. They brought the HOUSE down that night. The Liquor flowed in that little 60 table Club on the Cleveland Harbor.
Living with the still echoing words of a once one of a kind singer (Rest In Peace), "Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever play the Blues".
Possibly the best video on RUclips explaining early blues
"imagine youre on this plantation"
im good b lol
This is some of the best explanation of information I've seen in the 2 years I've been learning guitar.
This man knows the difference between showing off and teaching. I learned more in two minutes with the Rev. than I learned in two hours watching anyone else.
I’ve spent most of my time trying to find someone/something to learn from that’s more direct, but the one time I don’t go for what I’m used to, this mans explanation just amazes me
Wow, I feel like a door has just opened. It was great, interesting and then you sang. For the first time in my musical life journey I begin to appreciate the raw history that's woven into this glorious music.
I've now got to hear more, thank you
4:20 Nice. Love the charisma of this gentleman.
Familiar with the drop D.... thanks for introducing me to this G tuning... (the b makes all the difference) excellent presentation
Sir, I could listen to you pluckin and talkin about blues history until the moon goes down. This is very informative, both musically and historically, thanks for sharing.
I love how they did the cameras on this video!
I'm not racist but when I see a blues lesson by a black man I click, watch and listen.
Racist would be a white man giving a blues lesson.. 😉
@@Kushb4an Unless the white man is Stevie Ray Vaughan 😉
Very cool! Thanks for posting this Rev. Music truly is the "universal language."
Lição de blues maravilhosa. Amazing blues lesson.
Sir, I could listen to you teach all day.
The Right Reverend is quite the authority and a virtuoso as well,
Sir, may I ask what denomination you are ordained by? Years ago, when I was working in senior health care and advocacy, I had a client who became more of a grandfather figure to me, In his youth, he made his living singing the blues in the brothel that his aunt who raised him worked at. Years later, when fighting in France during WWII, he had a miraculous moment of conversion, and he got up during the service he was attending and preached his first sermon. He never sang the blues again, but when he sang his gospel, it was like nothing else this skinny, white, California kid ever heard! Eddie was a pastor for the Church of God in Christ. Thank you for your videos, and thank you in advance for your response!
