This is undoubtedly one of the best guitar lessons out there. Sam‘s boogie is anything but easy. You broke it down very well and you made it swing, too. Thank you.
I am with you on Magic Sam, First time I heard it I was just floored on how he was able to get those sounds out of that borrowed Les Paul, Soooooooooo good.
Beautiful Mark - yeah breathtaking guitar playing on that old clip! I must have played it over & over a 100 times when I first got the DVD set! And that killer tone from Earl Hooker’s borrowed cheap Les Paul copy! Too cool.
That picture of Keef & Mick looks really great & so does that L.P. Custom. All u need is a little more bounce & more feeling & I really believe that you could play something really close to it. Great job man.
The man is showing how to play the riff. You want him to track down a POS old Univox knockoff Les Paul so he can get it right? Stupidist shit I heard all week.
My name is also Mark, known in military as Stormin' Norman.

I am trying to learn to play guitar, perhaps after second carpel tunnel surgery, I'll be able to hold a pick for longer than five minutes.
Hi, if I'm not mistaken the song is typically called Lookin' Good and the video footage is from an AFB festival somewhere in Europe. I really like how you nailed the guitar sound!
Hope you're not mad @ the late Magic Sam for not "playing authentic". Earl Hooker's Les Paul copy just sounded "off"... If only Sam could have had the "real deal". I guess we'll never know how awesome it could have been!
hey Mark ...you might go and have another listen ? and just listen a bit... dont worry about you hands and guitar (and then look) Sam doesn't move his A barre index(correct your left hand).. or you will never be able to play it) there is quite a lot more going on...its very percussive (not bent)...your guitar sound is very good (tone).....its just not right as far as pitch (your d to c sound is sloppy and out (that hand again)....maybe check out Kyle J's efforts on youtube ? (he is the closest Ive found) anyway...I hope you take that as constructive criticism ? its a crazy happening thingo (as you know).. give some more time..(please forgive me if I sound pedantic) we are all trying to improve etc ...take care

Hell yeah! Thanks!
Dam sam. That’s one blistering lesson.
Great tune, I'm just learning and didn't know about Guitars For Veterans, what a joy! Thank you kind Sir
Perfect and thanks!
Mark's Magic. Your one helluva talented player. Big SRV fan, only found magic Sam recently.
Dude thank you!!!
Performed on a 1969 Univox with Maxon Magnaflux humbuckers. The necks a wonderful to play, and the Magnaflux hbumvuckers are a very underrated pickup.

Magic Sam is one of my favorite blues artists. “Easy Baby” was first Magic Sam song I learned.
Such a cool riff Thank You 🙏
very cool‼️
Nice one
Dope very nice
@Guitars For Vets I had no clue you folks existed! Hit me back someway okay?
The late,great magic Sam
It's a cool lick! Question: how are you doing the right hand with the fill in lick?
That picture of Keef & Mick looks really great & so does that L.P. Custom. All u need is a little more bounce & more feeling & I really believe that you could play something really close to it. Great job man.
Guitar tuning: ?
standard
Tune down half a step
did I miss the bit about your guitar being tuned down half a step?
Nice playing. Lot harder than it sounds!
Do that d lick he does on the earl hooker guitar that’s sick after the break from the a chord
Thanks Mark, great breakdown. I am looking to mix it in to the 'boogie disease' from Doctor Ross! Let's get t0 it ;) ps are you in a regular tuning?
Originally played on a Univox Les Paul Copy, not quite authentic...
Thank you!
For the clip Magic Sam borrowed Earl Hooker’s guitar.
Hah!!!
The man is showing how to play the riff. You want him to track down a POS old Univox knockoff Les Paul so he can get it right? Stupidist shit I heard all week.
That amp and input though
Damn that's some difficult fingerpicking
Man you nailed the tone too.
Way to play authentic bruh!
🤣😎👍💕
Playing a danceable guitar Groove like this all by yourself is Nervana.

Magic Marks picking blues. AWESOME.
Hello.that's openAtuning?
No, he is in standard but is tuned down a little lower than normal.
@@LesLeeJr
Thanks!
Tuned down a half step
Great tone man! Just like Magic Sam’s version in 69
What’s your opinion on Orville guitars?
Hi, if I'm not mistaken the song is typically called Lookin' Good and the video footage is from an AFB festival somewhere in Europe. I really like how you nailed the guitar sound!
Great song. Great cause. Great playing. If only it was authentic...
standard tuning word help learners! (like Sam)
Great lesson but I wish you had turned to standard rather than Eb, Mark 😉
Lookin Good not feelin good
Hope you're not mad @ the late Magic Sam for not "playing authentic". Earl Hooker's Les Paul copy just sounded "off"... If only Sam could have had the "real deal". I guess we'll never know how awesome it could have been!
Hardest riff ever? Agnesi: hold my darn beer!
He plays it wrong, that good not everybody should be able to get it. Hope he does good with Gibson.
Hound dog taylor scam

correction Kyler J
Can't afford a Lesly
Would be good if it wasn't wrong.
Dude respect to you,difficult thing to do,but why have Keith Richards behind you and not Magic Sam?he's the innovator,no disrespect meant.
Nerd version
You’re playing wrong.
Anyway, Sam's Les Paul sounds amazing.
