Found this channel a few days ago, man i love it, great stories great teaching, and that tone, no matter what guitar your playing, best channel on You Tube by far.
I met gatemouth in Iowa, he had played in a blues series at a university that I attended and after the show and on the way home we stopped at a gas station and I was in the mens restroom and as I finished and turned around there was Gatemouth. I told him it was a good show but we never shook hands haha that was in the 80s or 90s great gentleman
Wow (recently new to your channel) just to have a piece of History like that in your hands this is what America is all about. So cool to have you share this experience with us!
Okie Dokie Stomp is an absolute must-learn for anybody aspiring to swing and play the blues. I'm still trying to figure it out, without a capo, so your vid is very helpful. Thanks man! Subscribed to your channel!!
I have a refinished No Caster serial number under 1780, neck pickup is useless even with the newer circuit. BUT that bridge pickup - per-fec-tion. Love the dots on the 12th fret, just a tiny bit narrower than post 52-53...
This video is a beautiful tribute to a true legend. I saw alot of my blues heroes live before they passed away (two favorites were Johnny Copeland and Luther Allison). Even though I listened to Gate and wanted to see him live, I never got to experience Gatemouth perform live in a club. As I recall, he didn't often venture too far away from home to perform, so for us folks that lived in the northeast, opportunities to see him live were rare. Anyway, thanks for this excellent video Jake. That Esquire is quite a slice of American music history...not only the fact that it's a 51 Esquire, which is history enough on its own, but the Gatemouth Brown backstory. Awesome.
The history of this is amazing and the fact that you got Gatemouth’s tele and can continue that history is really cool. H&H Music in Houston was this the one on Highway 3?
If you own a 345 you should do a Hollywood Fats version too :) Screaming top mids and trebly with some spring reverb that makes us deaf ;) Great playin'!
There have been numerous premieres across the country recently, but not sure when it will be widely available. Search online for "When Houston Had The Blues". It is fabulous!
Amazing, i wondered where all those guys guitars went to, for my personal taste its a shame that with all this history as a player and knowing all those people you go for more of a "rock tone" (awesome rock tone), almost a sacrileg with a guitar like that - but what do i know, great stories and awesome playing (even with the bluesrock flavour)
Quite a story, and quite a guitar! Wow! But how come the finish isn't worn down more after all those years? Funny, your picking technique is exactly the same as you as a nine years old. That's the only way to play with the ashtray on. Loved the vid and the playing.
Yeah, it's a good technique, because you hit the strings on a 90 degree angle. Almost like a classical player hits his thumb onto the next string. Much more power in the string transfered which results in a fuller tone. I can't do it unfortunately. I saw your other videos, and of course the strat sounded awesome in your hands, but the coolest one IMO is the early 60s Esquire! What year? And over which amp did you play the vid? Regards, Remco

Great playin'!
Man-Hollywood Fats was the best! Good idea-can do it on my '62 335:)
This channel is so good. I hope it get more subs soon!
Thanks Leo, I do as well!
KILLER stuff! That Tele sounds amazing
Thank you Rich! It does sound amazing. Esquire though, not Tele (single pickup)
how do i get the backing track. thanks.
When is this Houston blues documentary coming out?
There have been numerous premieres across the country recently, but not sure when it will be widely available. Search online for "When Houston Had The Blues". It is fabulous!
@@JakeAndrewsMusicthank you for the response. I managed to find a trailer for it on RUclips. I’ll have to keep digging to find the whole documentary.
your version is dead nuts on.
Man, thank you John!
Speaking of Albert Collins.. can you maybe do a video on Frosty? Lovely instrumental that I'm sure you can teach! Love the videos, as always :)
Definitely. One of my favorites that I learned to play around age 9 and one I performed with Albert Collins many times when I was a kid!
@@JakeAndrewsMusic That's so cool! I saw a picture of you and Albert when you were just a kid.. such a cool picture!

Thank you so much for the kind words! That's funny you noticed my picking technique is still the same:) Glad you enjoyed the video and the music.

What year? And over which amp did you play the vid?
