@@TomoFujitaMusic the very first time I listen to Lightin’s Music I was immediately felt in love with it. Because it made me feel like his Guitar playing was the inspiration of all of my favorites Guitar player 🙏
With music, it's good to think outside of the box, and try different approaches. Lightning Hopkins is a great guitarist. People like him, and Robert Johnson did some pretty amazing guitar work. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers! ✌️
This is so amazing. Please -- do more of this style blues. I grew up on it listening to Delta Blues when I was a kid in Alabama in the 1950s. Before it was popular among most whites, a radio DJ in Birmingham named Duke Rumore sold these type records in his record shop and we learned Delta Blues before the British ever heard it. When it was taken north and electrified by such artists as Muddy Waters, I liked his music but I preferred listening to southern artists like Howlin' Wolf who recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis. Thank you for keeping it alive. It's great to hear it played by a well known master historian artist like you.
This is interesting! I think I noticed something similar with John Lee Hooker some years back. He didn't always stick to the 12 bar pattern and timing.
Great lesson! A lot of the great blues players didn't always do just 12 bar blues, i noticed this aswell many play 10 bar blues, 8 bar blues, 16 bar and even 14 at times! and would put in chorus sections or break section into a song ( I think CCR's version of I put a spell on you is a great example). For the delta blues style, i think the hardest part is definately playing the thumb and bass part in time especially when you play faster and more complex melodies with the other fingers and of course sometimes you have alternating bass notes too to make it even more difficult!
What a wonderful lesson, I’ve been looking for a great tutorial, thank you ! By the way could you do a small lesson on how to improvise on voodoo child (slight return) ? Cheers from France !
Watching towards the end there I was wondering how you were playing some of that and feeling like I was terrible. Then I realized I’ve been doing most of that same stuff just in a different way. Same results. It’s very encouraging. Thanks for the great lesson!

Thank you Mr.Fujita.
Great bluse musician's lesson.
(Blues musician's groove/feeling cover are difficult.😆)
My pleasure! Thank you! Yes. it's not easy at all!
Listen same song over and over!
Thank you for a great lesson. I'm hitting the subscribe button now! 😂
You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
I find finger picking more natural then pick, picking. I am working on the chromatic lesson you suggested thank you.
Good job! I love both ways. Picking or Finger Picking. Then you can do both together.
Phenomenal playing! Could you go through a video about Mississippi John hurt?
Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing!

You're very welcome! More small lessons! Great idea!
Nice !
Thanks!
I love the blues so much but I keep forgetting the term for what he does at 8:36. Like the walkdown. What is it called?
Turnaround

Dear Tomo. Just curious, what are you using to record your videos?
Two microphones plugged into my video camera.
Sweet !!
Thank you!
Tomo Touched Down In Texas
Thank you!
John Lee Hooker songs may fit in the same category as this. songs like Crawlin kingsnake.
Thank you so much!
Am I losing my mind or is that chord at 6:40 a B7? You called it an E7
The sound is right! I say wrong thing once in a while.
Not always 12 bars, because, from the man himself, that's because "Lightnin' changes when Lightnin' wants to change"
Exactly! You know it!
Shocking mate clearly not started at right era the beginning
Thank you!
Go and study the originals at length
