    Well, I think you're right. I had the luck to play with R.L. Burnside for 12 years between 1982 - 1994 mostly harp, but some guitar with R.L. singing. It took me a long time to get his JUMPER ON THE LINE, POOR BOY groove down. I'm on 2 of R.L.'s CD'S, ACOUSTIC STORIES, and WELL...WELL...WELL... and there are quite a few things on RUclips with us. Much of the time I used harp as a percussive instrument along with R.L.'s groove, along with fills, and soloing.
    Before I met R.L. in 81, first listening to him in 76 I was deep into Fred McDowell even visiting his wife in Como in 78. Also had the chance to play, and record with Junior Kimbrough at his home along with his band when I lived with R.L. A great guy, wonderful player.
    With R.L. bass players had problems, but it worked with a guitar player that knew what he was doing, or drummer. I just played with him so long I got the hang of it. With me R.L. never played in F. Always E, or Spanish Open G. But, I tuned the guitars to the harp true enough. R.L. played one song in standard A
    Ms. GLORY B.
    Well, very cool video showing your deep appreciation for these guy's music. No doubt because of it I'm sure to learn more guitar stuff about music I played to for years concentrating more on harp. But, just partly from being with R.L. as a duo, and some tours with Calvin Jackson, Cedric Burnside's Father, I'm grateful I learned somewhat the style of these 3 great Mississippi Bluesmen you're all about here.
    Thanks again.

      Thank you for posting this! I think RL is essential for any player to show the power of strong right hand and rythym playing. No pick and still have precision to mute the selected strings and hit the fretted and open notes perfectly in a split second. I played some of his songs and while seemingly simple, they take some real practice and concentration. When done well the audience responds with much positivity! I played 'Skinny Woman' 'Rolling and Tumblin' and PBM the most. 44 blues is a master lesson in the technique.

    I was in the studio at the Univ. of Washington in Seattle, 1971 when Fred did this session, I was a concert promoter for the Seattle Folklore Society. I was blessed to meet and learn from many of the great original country bluesmen. This is a good lesson, it calls for a lot of drive to play this stuff, and dynamics to vamp when you sing. When Fred played in open G, he played a C shape for his lV7 chord.

    • @jonasscottcowan9194
      @jonasscottcowan9194 Год назад +1

      Yeah and that C shape in open G yields a Cdom7th with the 7th on the fifth string. He'd accentuate that like a Boogie lick. I use that a lot instead of sliding on the fifth fret which gets old real fast. What a cool experience to actually meet those cats.

      @@jonbeckleymorrisblues it's simple. Make a standard C chord. In open G, the bass note on the fifth string is now a Bb, the flatted 7th of the C major scale . You can play it straight with an alternating thumb lick and/or accent it by bending it a little depending on how much stank you want to put on it.

      @@jonasscottcowan9194 Thanks for getting back to me. It's slightly embarrassing because though I consider myself a harp player first, and a guitar/piano player after that I've played in Open G for years. Fact I worked with R.L. Burnside between 1982 - 1994 then A few times in '99, and occasionally would play guitar while he sang. It took me a while, but I finally got that 1 chord vamp groove (Jumper On the Line) and other songs groove. And, that slap the strings effect--even on 2 of his CDs Acoustic Stories where I'm playing guitar on Kindhearted Woman Standard A
      And MEET ME IN THE BOTTOM Open G R.L.'s version....

      okay Spanish Open G Hi to low:

      3 fret A#, or B F....
      Making it the flated 7 of the C when it's in Open G.
      I'd love to hear some of your guitar stuff. I'm out of practice, but I recorded a couple CDs in Standard, and Open G from stories R.L. told me over the years, and want to record them again. Let me know, and I'll give you my email. And, if I'm insane over that 3-5 fret thing.

    Around 6:45 with the Mississippi Fred McDowell pattern, start with an offbeat upstroke on the thumb to get the groove to get happen. I've played with Cam Kimbrough - he clued me in to that important detail...the thumb upstroke is essential. In other words, what makes the whole thing jump is that 16th note syncopation before the 1.

    R.L.Burnside is something else. His 1984 session on YT is a masterclass, and R.L's version of Poor Black Mattie which kicks off the performance is sublime. For me it's one of my favorite songs and totally hypnotic...I think the 1984 version of Poor Black Mattie is up there with Robert Petway's Catfish Blues, which is absolutely my favorite arrangement Catfish Blues. Both of these Gentleman's aforementioned songs are my favorite Blues songs by some distance. They have an otherworldly quality to them.

    I saw RL Burnsides at the Grand Emporium in Kansas City ,MO (Westport) sometime in the 90s. He walked onstage, grabbed his acoustic, sat on stool and started playing. After the first song he stared into the audience and stated' I aint playing another till somebody gets me a goddamn beer', I think every table in the joint sent him a beer he had like 14 up there ' he thought that was damn funny. For 2 hours he gave the greatest lesson in true Country Blues I have ever seen. Amazing show. He only drank about 1 and half of those beers during the show just a little sip after each song to 'wet the whistle'. What a story teller. He was the last of the true bluesman, men who had direct ties to sharecropping, prison farms and slavery.

    Interestingly this was recommended to me after I was watching some Tuareg rock licks. And I was just thinking about that the other day, that a lot of Tuareg rock sounds a lot like something I might hear from Dan Auerbach (who unabashedly bites from old heads like Kimbrough & Burnside). Especially the drone technique you mention; this is heavy in Sahel blues, and I imagine it comes a lot from their traditional instrument called the gimbri, which plays a lot like a banjo in terms of its drone string.

Also, I saw someone say you weren't too good at the style, pay them no mind, after a while you'll get better, it's very rare someone who isn't brought up with the sound will "get it" right away.

    What a great lesson!!
    Very well done! Love how you include and comment on clips of the early masters 👏👏👏
    This style reminds me a bit of Desert blues (Bombino Ter Hani).

    Thank you for explaining so well and making me understand the technic of hill country blues.

    If your trying to get that RL Burnside strum slap drone??? It's a very cool technique. Requires your first finger followed by the thumb immediately. Takes some practice,...but worth it. " Jumper On The Line" is one killer song to practice.

    Cool! I think RL may have often muted the high strings with his left hand and basically used them for percussion
