    Love to hear those old pickers singing their hearts out. In my peculiar point of view, the acoustic guitar is the best musical invention ever. Love my two Martin acoustics. It is like having an orchestra in your hand, and it is available to everyone, rich or poor, and it is found in nearly every nation. So much variety of styles too. But the main thing about the guitar is that you can be good or fair in your playing, and still sound good. You can learn it by ear, you can be classically trained, you can praise God with it, sing about Jesus, and talk about the gritty things of living, a hard life, lost loves, even bad whiskey, and places you've been. Thank you for sharing this video with us, my friend. Well done. God bless.

    Sam Chatmon (10 janvier 1897 - 2 février 1983), né à Bolton dans l'État du Mississippi était un guitariste et chanteur américain.
    Il est issu d'une famille originaire de la plantation Gaddis et McLaurin près de Bolton, dans le Mississippi, notoirement connue à l'intérieur de l'État pour leurs talents musicaux.
    Henderson Chatmon (1850-1934), son père est un métayer d'origines raciales mixtes, violoniste amateur depuis l'époque de l'esclavage. Avec sa femme Eliza, également chanteuse et guitariste, ils ont douze ou treize enfants (sic!), tous musiciens ! De 1910 à 1928 environ, sept d'entre eux forment un groupe à cordes connu sous le nom de Chatmon Brothers. Ils se produisent lors de fêtes et de pique-niques. Puis Sam Chatmon fut membre avec ses frères et d'autres voisins ou invités du groupe de Delta blues des Mississippi Sheiks.
    Les Sheiks ne se limitent pas au blues mais jouent aussi de la musique de danse ou des reprises de country. Ils explorent ainsi les domaines du ragtime, du bluegrass, du western swing, des square dance, des valses ou des airs populaires de la Tin Pan Alley.
    Parmi les albums que Sam enregistre au début des années 1970, il y a celui-ci, publié sur le label Blue Goose, qui s'intitule The Mississippi Sheik.

    I got to see and hear him liove in a small venue...he wasn't feeling well but the audience energized him into a very long set. I researched him then and bought quite a few recordings of him and other family members. Then after Sam I got to see the Chicago All Stars with Willy Dixon and Matt Murphy and a group of true giants...the band let Sam Play and Play even as they gave up part of their time...the man wads inspirational and a true flashback into a different time. Now I'm as old as Sam was back then in the early 1970's I think.

    Sam Chatmon started playing guitar when he was 4 years old. That's why it sounds like he was born with the ability.

      Because he was born with the ability, and it was 3 years old when he began playin guitar. He sang his first song at 4 years old. 😊

    It would have been nice if my granny could have been discovered. She could make music anything from shoestring to a rubber band. She played autoharp,acoustic guitar,and mouth harp what some call a jews harp. She did not necessarily play blues. Her playing style was what is known as piedmont blues and alot of improvised workings. She sang alot of standards skip to my Lou,Make me a pallet on the floor,In the pines aka Black girl where did you sleep last nite.Also alot of her own original material. It was discovered later after her death she recorded herself on a 1 track tape recorder. One of her son's made copies for family members. My family's copy got lost during moving to another location.

      I actually naturally play this style, only found out a few years ago that I am not the only one. I think it is what happens when you give a bored kid with an ear for music a guitar but no lessons on how to play it. If you like the playing here and have never heard Leo Kotte or John Fahey, it would be worth a listen.
      This is one of my favorite albums ever ruclips.net/video/HlqyCfsYjOs/видео.html
      Also if you have never heard R. L Burnside's album Ass Pocket of Whiskey tat is a good one.
