- Blind Blake was one of the most phenomenal fingerstyle guitarists who ever lived. His 1920's and 30's recordings were a major influence on the piedmont bluesmen who came after him. Here I'm doing his famous West Coast Blues on an old Lyon and Healy parlor guitar.

Barely playable? You sure played the hell out of it.great job!!!!
True, dat. That was most excellent!
bitch slap waiting
I've never heard that bass melody so clearly! Respect
I agree, it's the stand out feature of this performance
Thats what makes a palour guitar awesome , got myself also one, about 60 yrs old or something and I was amazed how much low end it produced while the guitar isnt even that big. But it sounds lovely in the highs and lows. I really want to learn these kind of songs too 😁
Ive been playing my whole life. This guy is seriously good
Right on Edward, you rocked it! Blide Blake is surely tapping his feet to that one somewhere.
You deserve to be an adjunct professor of musicology at some university with your knowledge of early blues /country blues! Damn fine playing and singing. Cheers from Australia
You killed it man. I'm glad I found this channel. It's great to see such a true rendition of these things.
This makes me smile. Great playing
i like them west coast blues
“Now we gon’ into ollllllll’ country rock”
"If you ever hear something that makes ya feel good you gonna hear something in a few minutes, but not now" Blind Arther Blake. He played that guitar like a piano, been trying to learn this song for a while but still can't play the damn thing.
"Good till the last drop. Just Like Maxwell House coffee"
Thanks!
Even Rev Gary Davis was complimentary about Blind Blake and he wasn't known to compliment many guitarists.He was a towering figure in country blues guitar.
outstanding Edward; we're up here in the cold Catskill mtns. New York. that warmed us up. that parlor is loud too.
Sounds amazing. This is as good as Rory Gallagher!
play that thing boy!
More Blind Blake please! You killed it!
Diddie Wah Diddie, Police Dog Blues, that’ll never happen no more etc
Been trying Police Dog blues myself with limited success.
I had to check it out again you rule
Please do more ragtime stuff !! Very good
Wow, what a hot number you just performed! Amazing skill displayed!
godddddddaaaamn man....that piece of wod sounds so authentic....it's like you can put the needle sound and that's it! you have it. Well you have play like a king also....thanks man.
Brilliant bounce!
Holy shitballs, never seen anyone play all this early country blues and rags so well. It’s great to hear, and to crib from. I would never have thought to play the G the way you do, but it makes so much sense. Thank you. I’ll be supporting you via Patreon soon.
Brilliant Edward...
That was so good that I felt it was actually 1934 or something! Beautiful! Thanks for that. (I’m only 66 and 3/4. Lol)
You should totally give this guy 1 dollar. I just did.
Excellent! I love Blind Blake and that rendition did him justice.
One of the most flavourful players since the late, great Ben Andrews. Keep it up chief - you are making people happy!
I clicked just to hear that cool little guitar. Great playing! That was rally awesome!
Blind Blake himself would be proud.
A#1First Class Mr Phillips
Nice!😁
Has some of the chords that you hear in 'Alice's Restaurant'. Maybe Arlo Guthrie might have heard this tune before he wrote the song.
Really got that right thumb bouncing like Blind Blake himself!
You' are the best!
Blind Blake music is awesome! Well played, Edward!
That was great man.laid up with a broke leg but a smile on my face.
You must have a strong chord grippin’ hand! Well done there, Edward! 😊
Unbelievable performance on that thing. I must say I could feel the pain of the fingers on those bends from Germany!!
Cool! Great playing!!
this is such a great performance
I'd love to see you on Normans Rare Guitars if you're ever in LA
Great video and channel. Love the history and stories and hearing old-time songs played on old guitars. Probably sounds just like it did 100 years ago.
By "barely playable" do you mean high action, heavy strings? Or perhaps action too low, tends to buzz? Just curious. From your playing, I couldn't tell in the least. Thanks
Perhaps he did
Wow. You are the best Blake guy I’ve ever heard, outside of Blake himself. The guitar sounds perfect too. It can’t be worked on to make it more playable?
Daddystovepipe you tube channel does a lot of Blind Blake and many others. Excellent player, and teacher of this genre.
That was a beautiful West Coast Blues Edward. You have a fine thumb boy.
No entiendo e idioma 🤷 pero tu melodía enseña mucho arte
Amazing playing once again!
It would be great if you could do "Hey Hey" by Big Bill Broonzy
i love ragtime
beautiful playing! You nailed the handwork and the tone on that guitar is incredible as well! Makes me want to get this one back in rotation and try to refine my playing of it!
Solid gold dude!
Nice right hand rag.
I just love rag time, ever since I was a little kid..especially love Scott Joplin
Nice one keep em coming my friend ..🇬🇧👍
Alix
Check out COBBLESTONE RAG by Justin Johnson. I got Justin to create this for my Ms.
This is pretty fucking rad
man
This is Awesome- thanks for all of the information you provide in yurt channel. Great playing too🎶👍
Great rendition, especially your "stumble bass"!
i know it isn't exactly blues, more folk than blues, but can you please do a video about woody guthrie or cover one of his songs
Encore! Your amazing playing on this deserves rendition on a guitar with a big tone.
Laying it DOWN!
Diggin it man.
Amazing
Some of the best picking I think I have ever heard. Amazing - do you give lessons? Only joking, I have been playing guitar for 55 yrs, so too late to reach your standard I fear!
Ed could take a beaten up old guitar and make it sound brand new! I love the old Delta blues but the Piedmonts just have a unique sound... you sound better and better each day man!
Brilliant. :)
Beautiful
Outstanding.............Exceptional guitar work................
Excellent job
That was shit hot. Bravo!
Best cover I've heard. The "Now here's something that will make you feel good" part I think is even superior to BB!
Outstanding ! 👍👍👍
Damn
Great job!!! 😃💙😃
Awesome ! Nice playing !
You should start doing tutorials brother. I know I'd tune in to em. I try to follow along but you're to slick.
thank you for covering this song! been listening to his old grainy recording, but now i got this!
Very cool man.
I wanna see you play Belton Sutherland’s Blues #2 😁 Good work!
Another great one..! Thanks for sharing your awesome talent..!
Howdy Edward Nice to see you
This was amazing! You should do hard time killing floor blues!
I guess you made that ..barely playable ...guitar ..very playable !! Kinda like Blind Blake ..and all the others did ....God bless em..👍😎🎸
Muy bueno👍
That was awesome Ed! I still can't figure out how anyone that's blind can play an instrument, especially the guitar. Blind Blake was really incredible! Totally mindboggling IMO....... 🎸🎸👍👍
Sapele Steve Well I’m not completely blind, but I am legally blind and it’s really not that hard, for me at least. I’m not a very good guitar player, but I am pretty good at harmonica, although that’s pretty much the easiest instrument I can think of for a blind person to play. If you or anyone else have any questions I’d be happy to answer them.
That was awesome 👌.. I’m subscribed to your channel now 👍
Are those Black Diamond strings talking!?
I like where you go, and you always sound good, but this sounds GREAT! Thank You Chris
Where does one learn to play the blues like that?
You're the guy that got me listening to Blind Blake in the first place.
Great playing, Edward. Will you record this one for your Bandcamp page?
Take care of you, it is very !
Good time ya
Muito bom 🇧🇷
damn that's hawt.
What make is that parlor guitar? It looks like an old thornward I saw at a flea market when I was a kid
this kicks .better than AC/DC!
Omg, I've been looking for my own little side project, where can I learn this song!!!!
You're as fine a blues guitarist as any I've heard. Speaking of that, Do you ever listen to Blind Boy Fuller? He was also quite a Piedmont guy. Thanks Ed.
Here's a Blind Boy Fuller song right here. ruclips.net/video/qAFe0SCmX8A/видео.html
@@EdwardPhillipsRoots Always great and since your on the Blind dudes how bout some Blind Gary 'I am the True Vine' or 'You Got to Go Down'? Man I know you can do it and we dig you so much Ed!!!!!
Alright, you're the first person I've seen mention something about a "parlor guitar". Not long ago, about a year ago, I found a guitar in the attic of where I work, and as it turns out, it's considered a parlor guitar as well. It's a '60s model Norma guitar, and it needs some TLC. The action is terrible, the nut is entirely too large, the frets look like the flat side of a metal file, the tuners are either too hard or too easy to turn, and for the most part, it's just a piece of crap. But man, it sounds GREAT. When it actually wants to stay in tune, it sounds like the kind of noise a man makes after losing his job, finding out his wife is cheating on him with his brother, his kid has to go to summer school, his hernia is acting up, and he just found out he's getting audited by the IRS. In short, this thing sounds like depression incarnate. The only thing that's actually "wrong" with the guitar, is that the string saddle is very skinny and cheaply made; a piece of it broke off right under the 1st string. It doesn't cause the string to slip, but I can't hit that string with any gusto for fear of it jumping the track and popping.
I want to give this guitar more than just lemon oil and a new set of strings; what do you suggest I do that will make this guitar shine and retain it's tone? Please help.
Hey Edward I've been wondering what is the name brand of your parlor guitar? It looks just like my 1930's Regal Le domino.
is there anyway i can buy the tabs of this
🤓👏👏👏🇺🇾
Barely playable sounds great👍
What’s that thing you’re doing with your thumb?
Picking the hell outta those strings
It's actually called the Blind Blake roll. It took me forever to get it down.
I’d love to see a brief video on how to do that. I play Police Dog Blues and Chump Man Blues on my Martin O-18K.
cool
