Robert Johnson tuned his guitar to B.A.D.A.S.S
Joke's on you, S is not a note.
@@KieraQ0323 I believe this is r/woosh worthy.
JC Denton I think you were the one who missed his joke
@@AdanLucass There's no real joke there. Just a factual comment that ruins the ACTUAL joke.
JC Denton the joke is: he pretends he didn’t get the initial joke, as if he wanted to outsmart the guy who made the original comment, when in fact he is dumb himself
Can’t believe I just had to explain a joke
I nailed the turn around and then my wife left me.
Funniest comment ever )))
Scott Orlyck bro play it backwards and she’ll come back
You might as well go to the crossroads.............
Lol
I understand you so much...
My wife goes crazy everytime I try to learn a song
that dirty guitar makes the video even better
It sounds like crap, like dead strings on a plywood box... But yeah tbh that's the early blues sound
Older strings have a nice sound, looks tickier, fatter, than new strings. Our hand gains an oil layer on the points of our fingers, but it worths
Went and bought that guitar cause it looked old. Hell, Muddy Watters invented electricity!
yep
@@lptomtom Well, crap has never sound that good xd
There's something really eerie about the sound of an old, beat-up acoustic guitar. I think it has something to do with the uncertain history of the guitar you're holding, and the stories it could tell if it could talk. Anyway great video, thank you!
The guitar can actually talk... depending on who plays it.
@@patrickjones9278 it's like an old fussy Genie, they won't come alive for just anybody but if the right person comes along then the history of the guitar can shine through
you guys are high on something I wanna know what it is :-)
there was a Craigslist "want to trade" ad near me for Robert Johnson's soul a while back
Robert is Not considered the father of the blues, he is considered the KING of the Delta blues.
Correct
King of Delta blues, Father of the Blues, Grandfather of Rock, and The Man the Crossroads. He's got many names.
Right, that would be Charley Patton.
Correct ❤
Why is it charlie patton is so often left out?
Elvis Presley invented the blue note back in the 1600s, when all that was on the radio was church music....and two hundred years later Robert Jhonson and the Devil had a fiddle contest for Roberts soal, and Robert won a golden Fiddle, legend has it....
🤣
Sounds legit. I approve. 👍
He wasn’t around in the 1600s soo that makes no sense
more accurate than what this idiot is spouting in the Vid
this has to be the funniest comment i've read on pootube
That tone is pure OG blues..
Yes, rocking chair and everything...tumbleweed...Robert noodling his tunes👍
I like this guy. Enthusiasm evoking and "instrumental" educating.
Thanks to you and all the guys doing the R.J. stuff. Love the sound of the old cheap guitars, got an old Stella and I love it .
I don't know much about historical facts but in my 3 years of piano and guitar lessons on RUclips, this has to be among the coolest. I really enjoyed your style of teaching👌
I’ve learnt more from that 8,5min video than from 4 part tutorial elsewhere, thank you so much
Well done. As a bass player that toured with the late Dick Dale, and a "student" of Jaco...Awesome presentation.
Dude, my ears are still ringing from the shows I saw with you and Dick Dale. Respect to you!
There’s a wonderful compilation album/cd called The Roots of Robert Johnson. It’s all material that Johnson lifts the music from and writes his own lyrics to.
One example would be Skip James 22-20 blues is where Johnson changes to be his own 32-20 blues. What’s awesome is his guitar adaptations of piano pieces
Exactly.. many of them did that... and Skip had some lines from blues artists before him... wasn't uncommon or frowned upon then.
Thank you for remembering Robert and for trying to teach people… makes me have hope for the future!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
simply taught, well done, and thanks a bunch, I've been recently looking at Robert Johnson's style, and these are in standard tuning, great, thanks again!
That turnaround is like the most iconic thing ever :) Thanks.
Looks my first guitar, a 50’s Stella Harmony. Loved that little thing. Sounds like it too.
Very cool. The little history lesson makes this little practical clip unique! Congrats.
You are a wonderful teacher!! Thank you!!
Awesome series, awesome teacher. Keep up the good work!
Thanx man I always get something to take away with ur vids it's so cool having this at your finger tips not like the old days, I knw it takes preparation and your time so Thanx for doing it Pls continue. Rock on!
I’m glad I found this lesson. Great lesson
This is brilliant..
Always wanted to get into Blues..
This will help ease the process.. Cheers..
Great video and l love Robert Johnson those licks a the foundation of the blues, beautiful.
Super cool man! Finally I got some of the Johnson' style in an easy way. Thanks brother.
“The father of the blues” is a title held by W.C. Handy, not Robert Johnson. WC Handy was the first person to write out the blues and is therefore called the father of the blues. That is inscribed on his gravestone
Some people also say Charley Patton!
Yeah should have put a delta in front of the blues
@@ZJMusic1990 EXACTLY! That's what I was thinking.
Just a solid lesson dude with a great personality... Thanks for that share definitely needed information and you gave me more than I needed... Great lesson as well!
I love that tone, man... So natural and woody
I have been looking at many tuto and this one is a dawn good one. Thanks for willimg to share it with us.

Thanks very much for putting this up!
thank you, can't thank you enough, greetings from Tanzania
Fantastic so interesting and great playing thnx
Thanks for this,much appreciated
much appreciated - I like your energy
Man, you make it interesting and informative. Great stuff.
Wonderful video. Thank you very much!
Good! More of this please!
rather a chilling discovery for me, my paradise lost, since a chorus of scars now plucks out of my guitars...
Outstanding lesson, The only guy who was legit figuring out Robert Johnson songs was John Hiatt in the 80's, everyone else was so off. That guitar is gold.
Bull. Rory Block, Paul Geremia and others you obviously havent heard were doing it since the 60s. Hiatt is a great songwriter and an enthusiastic hack of a guitar player.
Old southern tale. Made good conversation piece but no soul selling of soul. God rules the talent given to him.
Great playing and great lesson. Thanks my guy
Wow you helped me out a bunch. Thanks
What a great video! Thank you!
great video, really entertaining and original
I like this instructor.
Great sounding guitar for exactly that style of music.
The blues was around before Robert J. The reason people say he sold his soul is because he went travelling a shit blues guitarist and came back a good one. These days, we call it 'practice' and 'experience'.
wesmatron they say he sold his soul because he left as a shit guitarist and in 6 months time had mastered it and perfected his own style.
What was Robert Johnson doing during those months? He was under the tutelage of Ike Zimmerman.
one theory is that he was rather successful with the girls and slept around a lot. The whole devil practitioner thing might have been a way of warding off jealous boyfriends and husbands who might fuck Johnson up
or maybe just generally it gave him a fuck off I'm scary vibe in that dangerous world, he was quite skinny so he might've needed it. It's the same with the voodoo royalty, Marie Laveaux and Dr John (the first, not the piano player who took that name)
I wonder if something similar to that is still possible on some level. Terry P used to call it headology, a witch is a witch because she wears a witch's hat, but a witch's hat is a witch's hat because its worn by a witch. By that, if you smart enough you never need any magic
Nobody ever saw him pratice and is became the best in 6 months. But you're right the key is pratice and experience
But do remember when he died someone said that he was barking like a dog and crawling on the floor like a dog before his death
Excellent, thanks for the lesson!
I like to stay with the positive side of things, there are a thousand different stories and they do not have to be more certain than the others. the important thing is that it has been able to transmit three basic ideas very clearly it really is a very interesting video thank you very much.
Excellent instructor .... thanks!
Great lesson! Thanks
Thanks for the tutorial and the history. Very cool. The sound of your ax is very similar to my Recording King Dirty Thirties parlor!
This is brilliant, thanks fella!
Wonderfull lesson, sounds also great on a Strat.
Love that guitar 😍
Man that was a really great lesson, thanks so much. I would say Robert learned most of his chord structures from his teacher Ike Zimmerman s he taught him how to play in the grave yard at night but there was no one to bother them as the haints listened to them. in the grave yard. Probably where the original story started from them practicing at night for a year there.
Bingo. Other big name artists have learned to play by picking in the graveyard in the middle of the night as well.. Even wrote songs dedicated to buried souls there. No place "quieter" than a graveyard at night and nobody to hear you mess up or sing off key as you learn. Nobody still in this plane anyway. If you listen hard enough the spirits may even give inspiration 😉. I'd say they enjoy the company and music.
I live next door to a graveyard on hwy 61 so the spirits are always close.
Great lesson man, thanks for sharing 🎵😎
People got pretty crazy about historical facts and that kinda shit. He was just trying to make an interesting opener to the lesson. Chill out. The licks are awesome.
Talking bullshit as facts may sound cool but is misleading, i think its a good thing someone comes forward with the truth, so people wont make the same mistake.
Yea this is a plague today! Idiots watch ONE Netflix documentary and think they become some kind of authority on the subject...
And as you say it was suppose to be a little nice intro to the video not a freaking history lesson.
But hey if a moron sees a opportunity to show how dumb they are, then they are usually dumb enough to do it ...
A lot of ppl didn't do things first but they still made a big enough of a mark to be considered a "father of or mother of".
Nice lesson!
I Like It - Very good - Thanks and greetings from Germany
Interesting video with some good licks
Awesome!!!!!!!!! More Please!!!!!!!!!!
This is where it all coalesced and a new art form was synthesized.
Good vid man. Thanks
1. 3:14
2. 4:49
3. 6:00
Thank you so much!:)
Hell yeah! Classic essential stuff.
Great video ......so informative!
Lovin' my old Stella more and more.
Robert Johnson is the greatest of all times.
"Fast forward about 250 years" and that's about 60 years before the birth of Robert Johnson back when guitars were played by genteel ladies in their parlours. "Mama don't allow no blue notes in this house."

Great Video! 😍 🎸
Fabulous!
Gracias Man, desde España.
Thanks man interesting lesson
great stuff...
Thanks bro🤟
Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson good work!*
Thanks my friend, may Thank you
Thats very informative 🖤🖤🖤
Excellent...thx
Never knew about the devils note very cool !
The tritone that we use in the blues is the major 3 and the (Dom) 7th, not the 1 and the #4. We can play those two notes (3 and 7) to imply our Dom7 chords
Rock on dude!!
thank you
Looks like my Harmony Stella...Great vibe!
It was a good video thanks
Awesome video! I never heard of Robert Johnson until I watched devil at the crossroads on Netflix. Now I'm obsessed with learning everything about him and practicing his style
I love it
I liked this video.
It's a good story keep it up
i like this guy
Nice...Thanks.
Respect
