Young man, you've just made my day. I'm 65, playing for over 50 years. I can strum a good country tune, but your lesson today was an excellent that rhythm is EVERYTHING. No silly talk, no stupid jokes, just a clear lesson done with humility! I'm subscribed! God bless you!
Love it! Got to see your Grandpa along with a whole host of other blues legends over the years and am glad that the next generation is keeping it alive and growing!👍🤙🖖
🎉I fell in love with Hill Country blues when I first heard it years ago. I got everything I could find by Junior Kimbrough, RL Burnside, Othar Turner, Fred McDowell, Kenny Brown and the Dickenson Brothers’ North Mississippi Allstars. I picked up guitar again after retirement a few years ago and was looking for something like this. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video, Cam. You and your grandfather rock man. I've never been good at guitar, but I really enjoy following along with what you're doing
@timnagle5818 And I appreciate you for following along with us, I'm sure you have plenty of other things you could be doing, and I'll see ya soon in the next video!
@@camkimbrough6103 I will do brother! If you ever come to the UK I've got a bar in Kent called Blackmarket you would absolutely kill it and be well at home if you wanted a small intimate gig @blackmarket_folkestone🙏🏾⚡
@RearviewMirror-ij2pr Right on! If ya got it to give, show a little love with a super thanks donation! It helps me to improve the channel, like the new wireless mics I got that I'm using in this video! Thanks for watching ✌🏿
hey, have you ever gave a listen to tishoumaren or as it's known in the west desert blues? Hillcountry blues and Saharan blues have so many similarities and yet they're so distinct. I bet I'm not the first person just in case give Ali Farka Touré, Tinariwen, Abdallah Oumbadougou. I love your channel, your lessons are great. I'm trying to apply them to my accordion learning process. One love❤️
@kerryfromaj9032 I do them for the ones who want it! Definitely appreciate you watching, spread the word about the channel if ya can. Creating a community for the serious lovers of the style who want to learn and carry it on!✌🏿🤞🏿
@ I am always spreading the word, Maybe you’ll make it to Arizona one day I am leaving soon for Mexico with my headless travel guitar and travelling for 4 or 5 months.
@bartmay9560 Thank you , i had the pleasure of being around RL because we are from the same area in Mississippi and he visited my grandfather's juke joint often and performed. THANKS FOR WATCHING
@johnford7847 🙏🏿 Thank you, in my opinion Mr. Kenny Brown, Cedric Burside, Kent Burside, Dewayne Burside( even though he's multi genre blues to me).and Gary Burside. And I'd throw North Mississippi Allstars in there as well. These are all active, true North Mississippi artists, in my opinion. And Sharde Thomas, Otha Turner's granddaughter. There are others throughout small towns and counties, but i don't have the knowledge of them ever publicly releasing music that you can find ( yet ).
Good tips, Cam. I heard them all the way from New Zealand. So, why do you prefer Open D vs Open E? Just to put less stress on the neck? I notice a lot of guys who tune to Open D put a capo on the 2nd fret to bring it Open E.
@sunjamrblues i prefer open G actually and it is less stress on the neck, but I mainly play in open G because I gravitated towards that tuning when I first started from being around and hearing Mr. RL. BURSIDE
No idea if you still chillin around ABQ, yet have you found that your blues style has altered a bit into a slightly different form? I would assume that it is very difficult to go west of texas and not start to encounter native american type trance rhythms and mexican/american style rhythms(salsa/tango/3 step/ etc)....and NOT incorporate that into your music somehow lol.
@camkimbrough6103 You still sound like you from my perspective. I only hear what you upload though. Guitarists often play very different when in improv mode and collaborating with other musicians. I do vaguely remember at one point maybe a year or so back, you were playing something that reminded me a bit of Pink Floyd. Yet, I think every guitarist always wants to riff on the hendrix and pink floyd psychedelic style sometimes lol. That is just way too fun.
@py_a_thon Well I've been listening to different types of music since a teenager including bands like 7 dust, incubus, system of a down, GodSmack etc...so sometimes some of that stuff may bleed out a lil bit.
@camkimbrough6103 Incubus has some deceptively chill music. And their early stuff was almost like what pink floyd may have been in another decade, and with Syd Barret instead of David Gilmour lol. Those are some fun bands though. The music tastes of musicians is often so ecclectic lol. What we listen to is not always what we play.
Feel free to view my channel for videos that are focused on the strumming hand. This video clearly shows the focal point, which is a simple strumming pattern.

I judge whether or not a guitar video is good by how much time is spent playing guitar vs talking... This is a great video.
@@andywalex thanks for watching ✌🏿
Good stuff! I gotta ask, what guitar is that? I see you using it alot and have been wondering.
It's an Enya Go acoustic guitar, great for daily practice because of the size and weight.
good stuff, boosting engagement by commenting
@@DyinRyan And that's real, I appreciate you two times💯

I like Barbeque Bob and his song "Yo-yo blues"
@stm5578 ok that's cool too. Thanks for watching ✌🏿
Do you have a lesson for that first song you played at 0:38? Thanks for the video
@MegaSammich It's pieces of two songs put together, Mattie, and mellow peaches sorta smashed together.
Nice, will try this next time I dust off my guitar. That’s a great sound!

I've never heard of Cotton patch soul music. Could you give me a name of an artist that sings it. I'd like to do some research.
@@BlackHoleForge My grandfather ( Jr. KIMBROUGH) IS THE SOUL INVENTER AND PIONEER OF THE GENRE
I see the capo, but are you in standard tuning?
Open G
No idea if you still chillin around ABQ, yet have you found that your blues style has altered a bit into a slightly different form?
I would assume that it is very difficult to go west of texas and not start to encounter native american type trance rhythms and mexican/american style rhythms(salsa/tango/3 step/ etc)....and NOT incorporate that into your music somehow lol.
@@py_a_thon I'm not sure, I guess someone who has listened to my playing over the last 2 or 3 years could tell better than me.

Is that a carbon fiber guitar?

Can't see your right hand. Cool video, but for future videos please make sure your right hand is fully visible.
Feel free to view my channel for videos that are focused on the strumming hand. This video clearly shows the focal point, which is a simple strumming pattern.
whats the key?
@@afterall1 It's tuned to open G with a Capo it can be in any key. It's the style that you want to focus on.
Lovely stuff. Thank you.
