    Paul Butterfield made a significant contribution. Other bands of this period included Buffalo Springfield,
    Big Brother & The Holding Company,
    Canned Heat , and Hot Tuna.
    These were bands you heard if you were listening. 60s and 70s

    Was in a blues band called
    "The Alligators" that opened up for "Paul Butterfield Blues Band" in 1986 at a club called
    "The Spirit" San Luis Obispo CA. Great gig.
    Thanks Fil...I know that you're Bluesman at heart underneath all that smokin' rock you play.

    I was wondering if you were going to go into the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, which he developed in the 90's. It was supposed to remedy the way that a guitar isn't perfectly in tune all over the fretboard due to equal temperament. Steve Vai used to swear by it, but now uses these custom crooked frets on his new guitars, which is a lot less hassle.

    Nick "Grav-uh- nights"? He is also known as "Nick the Greek", so it'd be pronounced Grav-uh-need-iss". He's still playing, at age 81. Looking up his biography, I was amused to see that as a kid he worked in his immigrant father's family candy store, just as my own father did ---- probably why dad and his brothers all had bad teeth.

    I was just a little kid learning to play my 1st song, entitled "How to Tune the Guitar" when the Paul Butterfield Blues Band burst upon the scene. I was astonished. I never heard a group of musicians that accomplished. To really appreciate how stunning & eclectic the band was, I suggest listening to the studio recording of Born in Chicago from their 1st album & East-West from their 2nd album. The latter song was influenced by the work of John Coltrane & Indian ragas. A hypnotic musical journey & masterpiece, IMO.

    Fil, harp players and wind instrument players use their diaphragm muscles to push the volume of air. Due to this method, they never run out of breath. I've played blues harp and trombone since I was a young lad. It's all in the diaphragm! Thanks! Paul was one of my harp heroes! 🎶

  • @jamesh256
    @jamesh256 3 года назад +1

    This song and particular band wouldn’t have been my choice to analyze but then again I’ve been a fan of Butterfield for 50 years and know him inside out. You do a great job though but Paul’s music in his earlier days was much more complex with some of the greatest blues musicians this world has seen, it would have been a better look. One of the things you failed to mention though was Butterfield’s ability to understand when to and when not to play, to me that’s what made him the ultimate blues-harp player of his and the next generation and of course playing the harp reverse made him even more special. For a young person though that didn’t grow up listening to him you’ve done yourself proud, any new perspective on Paul is always great to see. Keep up the good stuff and thank you.

Looking for the reaction you did to a blind white blues guitarist from maybe the 30's. Don't expect you to put a lot of effort in to looking for that video but thought maybe the description would ring a bell and you would remember a name.

Maybe I leave her with the SG Maestro kit i got through Amazon I was saving for her 4th birthday, but damn, I really wanted to mod the hell out of that, all of that fun. And it has been with real pots, Russian caps, most importantly, the tuners, I just need to thin the body and give it a better body/face.

    This was a great follow-up analysis of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. I truly appreciated your guitar demonstration in your playing the chords, melody as well as the use of minor pentanonic and blues scales. Your mention of Paul's excellent breath control in switching from singing to playing the harmonica was both interesting and informative. Because I'm asthmatic and have had vocal training, some time ago I bought in a harmonica set to help with both--at times, it's been helpful. I sincerely love what you bring to your musical analysis videos!

Not the first or last singer to behave this way, but there are plenty of other musicians who are bona-fide nice people ---- I've been privileged to meet a few. Anyway, Sinatra's music was, in my opinion, boring.
