Water splashing and rhythm swinging - I dig it, folks. This pump is simply awesome, so I HAD to go back and jam some more with it! Here's another clip featuring my National Duolian and this old, very old invention called a hydraulic ram pump!! It's just freakin' cool how steady and laidback it can provide this groovy beat!!!!! The lyrics are from Son House's song: Preaching the blues.
Filmed at Arvemuséet, Sweden by Christer Ljungeaus.

video quality is pretty good for 1933
the video was not recorded in 1933, i do not understand how you have made this mistake
Whoosh
FormalFistFight i think he was joking...
Welcome to the internet my man
I think its referring to the guitar..
Oh man, I thank you so much! It's great to know there's folks like y'all out there listening and appreciating my blues!! Thanks!!!!
It's an old hydraulic ram pump.. A very old invention, works without electricity, cool device!
I will never be as cool as that guy :(
Depressing isn't it. lol.
I'm just impressed he pulls off a fedora. That's a true skill.
we are two
:(
I will never have as much rhythm as that hydraulic ram.
It's amazing how that water pump stays on time all the way through the track
change water pumps their frequency so often or why?
I think it was probably the other way around.

The pump is under constant pressure.
It doesn't want to lose its job!
That`s the reason!
@@dietmareglsoerhahahaha
Absolute Genius. What a cool idea, even the wind got involved. The essence of the Blues is the ability to make music from nothing, rocks, a bucket, old farm tools, whatever is available. Bottleneck, you nailed this one...........
Thanks!! I'll keep on keepin' on playin' some "out of the box" blues!! More to come this summer for sure!
Okay, this is my new favorite video.
+Chaka Wolf
Good to have you here diggin' it!!
@@BottleneckJohnBlues Not sure if you'll read this but it's my favourite video too. :)))
@@fadeskywards1245 Hi there, sure I read this!! Thanks a lot for being here diggin' it!!
And I think it clicks so rhythmically :)
There's nothing nicer than when this man starts looking for a new natural beat box to jam to.
Beautiful. Some of those slide bass notes reminiscent of early Muddy Waters. Great stuff.
Many thanks, Jon!!! Good to have you here.
My reaction: .... Damn the playing is so good..... Omg and the voice is just on the right tone. *Instant like*
Hey Joanna!! Thanks for finding my blues and diggin' it!!!
I can not carry a tune in a bucket. But I am so impressed with how he is always thinking out of the box. And finding music in everyday things. Pumps, and tractors, Volvo's. What a wonderful vision he brings to music.
Thank you for that comment my friend!
Daaaaaammmmm.....thank you very much sir!
Thank You!!!
Love it!
What a precious guitar
It sure is, very nice old guitar!
Great absolutely love it great blues voice too
Thank you very much!
Digging this ten years later dude!
Awesome!! The blues never gets old..
yes man!! the rhythm is everywhere
Indeed, thanks!!
Extremely cool 👍👍
Glad I found this, it was a great way to start my day ☺️
Absolutely fantastic. The hammer pump giving the beat,to that great guitar playing. Cheers from Australia.
Hi Uwe, many thanks for the comment!!
This is brilliant!
Thanks!!
real good, great Idea to take the water pump as a rythm machine 👍
Nothing like a little old school drum machine. Sounding great.
This has to be the most creative approach to playing on location I've yet seen, that pump is a killer back beat
Those vocals surprised me, absolutely killed it
Hi Nick! Many thanks for the kind comments, I really like finding odd places and rhythms to play with. The pump provides a steady beat for sure!!
@@BottleneckJohnBlues Cheers for replying to comments nearly a decade later, looking forward to more of your playing 🍻
Still my favorite RUclips video! Keep on rockin' Sir! 😊
Thank you very much!! :-D
wonderful song
Thanks, Loui!!
@@BottleneckJohnBlues grated ^^
I think this is the coolest metronome I ever heard.
Thanks, it sure is steady and rhythmic!
This is so awesome. A totally analog "found sound" piece. Love it.
Setting the playback speed to 1.25x throws it into a good driving tempo!
+Wes Hawkins
Thank you, Wes!!
+Wes Hawkins oh my fucking god :DDDD
Steady like a train
HOLY BISCUITS, That is one almighty performance,
The Guitarist isn't bad either ... ♡ from England.
Thanks for diggin' it!!!
Simply awesome.
Love the nod to the 'rhythm section' at the end.
Thanks!! Yeah, well it sure deserves some credit for that steady beat!!! :-)
Absolutely.
Amazing song! :D What tuning is it?
Thanks!! I'm in open C, Vestapol style here.
Gota Love it!!
I love this
Autentic & genuine blues. Thanks a lot. Awesome. Best regards from Spain.

+roobydoo8
Thanks for watching!
Man, that's so kind of you and very interesting. So many people have been wanting me to do something tutorial, I just might have to make it happen, haha!! As I see it, my main problem to teach something is that I improvise all the time.. Everything I play is just in the moment.. But I might try!! Soon!
Thanks for the keen interest, Frederik!!!!
you know this is a significant video when just seeing a water pump on instagram brings you back for a listen. such an incredible watch 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome, thanks!
@@BottleneckJohnBlues ✌
This is the way it was .Good stuff
+MrSouthpaw55

Drum machines have come a long way since 1933
you are an authentic performer and artist, my friend; no fluff or frills. some of the sweetest sounds my ears ever heard.

Thanks a lot, Greg! Good to have you here diggin' it!
My brother just sent me this video and I am amazed at how well you play that guitar because my brother has one just like it that belonged to my grandfather. I can hear the tones when you play. We could never figure out how to make it sound right. Thanks for the video.

piercedarrow57

Hi again John. This is what I call "being in tune with nature". That reassuring steady beat of a hydraulic ram makes a great time keeper and companion. Keep the blues rolling Sir.

Thanks, Shawn!!
Excellent
So, as I can only imagine, you were passing by and heard that thing dripping and were like "man, I could use this as a metronome for a video"? 😁 Amazing performance and quite a unique, creative idea.
Thanks!! And yes, that's exactly how this came to be, I was playing a gig nearby when I heard this pump. I just had to play along!!
I have accepted the fact that i will never be as cool as this man

I just stumbled on this video, imma be honest here, this shit is awesome!

Absolutely!
This is super cool!!
Tack ska du ha, Jonas! Many thanks!!
I'm so pleased to see another one of your "mechanical blues" Seems we been waiting a long time for this! Just love it when you're either on your own or with a couple of equally talented musicians playing in the open air! WELCOME BACK BROTHER!
Man that's cleaver. What a great sound.
Groovy!! ;-)
I love it so much every time this video pops up
That's awesome, Reid!! Thanks!
Killer guitar playing! Love it!!
Thanks, John!

Thanks again!!
Thanks a lot for the kind comment and it's great to know you're here watching this stuff again!!!
Jag bor i den djupa södern i Amerika, och du är den bästa klingande blues sångare och spelare jag har hört på länge. Tack så mycket!
Tack så mycket Jillbug8!!!! It means a lot to have folks like you here watching and digging my stuff, thank you so much!
this is sick
A true master. Thoughtful enough to make us happy and cheerful. A hard and yet sensitive man who are capable of share his joy - a simple and true joy - without any restraint. Bottleneck John, you are an entity, you are a natural, you are as good as a thunder, the sun light, or the fur of a kitten: enhance our perception and makes us think simple and true. Joy is at the reach of our fingertips, like you show. Please do the world a favor: keep marveling and playing with your own remarkable style. A warm compliment from Brazil.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
My words are only a shade of the glow you light. Simple, honest, well done for the good. Above all, a companion. Like a good friend that's always there to cheer us up. At least, your songs make me certain about that. Gifted, benevolent man that has courage to share with us his great talent.
Amazing.. Thanks
Ha ha ha! Only just came across this - magnificently entertaining, thank you!
Thanks for finding your way here!!
Your drummer is very precise, sir, inhuman even.
Rhythm King,plain awesome...
