@@Big_Boy_Baguette its really not close at all, bobby johnson is notorious for being one of the hardest guitar players to imitate and this dude absolutely was not playing it correctly. Im not even hating cause i think i could do better because i know i will never play bobby johnsons stuff
That’s so dumb. The kids just playing guitar. 98% of guitar players in the world you could say the same thing. Probably even higher percentage. You def don’t play. You’re a corny little hater
Fun fact: Black Sabbath originally was supposed to be a Blues Rock Band but then the thing with iommis fingers happened Meaning Metal is just heavy and distorted blues
While the accident did help form his play style that had nothing to do with them moving away from the blues. The bands practice space was across the street from a cinema, then one day they were watching people go in and out of the theater while Black Sabbath starring Vincent Price was playing. Then then question was asked. if people like going to the movies to be scared why wouldn't they like to hear scary music?
@@zakkmylde1712 Eh not really Sabbath stuff from the 70’s was very bluesy specifically songs with Ozzy’s Just more darker and and sinister sounding Paranoid, Black Sabbath, Vol 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath all are really bluesy I mean the band basically was just the dark mirror image of Led Zeppelin.
@@LordBackuro what is the point you are trying to make? That Sabbath is a blues band? Just because the music is based off of blues principles in places does not make them a blues band. How in the hell is Sabbath a mirror to Zeppelin? The only thing they have in common is roots in blues and you can say that about literally any rock or metal band.
Hendrix isnt a blues player?, he didnt even play blues to begin with, one flaw about hendrix playing blues was him not using feel. He just used big marshall stacks and distorted the hell out of it then plays a solo that just sticks to bends.

@@cc3366 ever heard the term "British blues" ?, don't get me wrong i know john mayall and the bluesbreakers era clapton and its astonishing but clearly everyone's ignoring that era of Clapton and not mentioning john mayall to this day but rather knowing cream, derek and the domino's era Clapton.
@@periachi4961 there's nothing wrong but when you talk about blues you can't just sum up british blues guitarists in the 60s because that was just them loving it and influenced by it and was so called "rock" when it was just them covering blues songs. Real blues would've been just delta and then chicago electric blues which is the real deal
You didn't emulate any of the players and also do you really think bb king started in 1965 and ended in 1980? And what do you mean SRV was the last great bluesman? Maybe take some time and actually learn how to play their songs...
Popular years…hello! Did YOU see B B King on the charts under his own name anytime after 1980? (Not including his appearance on U2’s 1987 track When Love Came To Town, as HE was on THEIR song.) And, as far as his SRV comment, that is HIS opinion. Now, as far as actually learning their songs, COPYRIGHT CLAIMS, remember?
@@georgeprice4212 the what about him playing Johnny B. Goode? By your logic, he's already lost, except he's playing it in a different key, so it isn't detected. That's where your argument falls apart, he could have simply played the songs in a different key if he really wanted to.
@@georgeprice4212 and as far as I'm concerned, BB King was still selling out shows until the day he died, so I think you're probably wrong about that. And also, you aren't right about SRV. It's fact that he's not the last bluesman because if he is, then that means Kingfish isn't a bluesman.
@@georgeprice4212 also adding on to what I was saying about the player's songs, he didn't even have to learn their songs, he could have written licks in their styles, but he didn't. Definitely not the BB King one. He was playing too many notes. He wasn't known for playing very many notes, he played good notes.
@@DannyKellyMusic that's true and all but the unfortunate reality is he didn't get to be that public in the guitar world, he was just mostly seen around England but didn't give the same credibility among like other British guitarists we all love. Hes sort of in the same league, players like paul kossof, peter green, etc.till now in the 21st century some mention him but as to share their opinions on rory himself.
@@Alan-su5bg you’re right, regarded in England and surprisingly very big in Germany and France, good fame in Ireland but if he had broken America more people would revere him for what his was capable of
Robert Johnson played with a slide and an acoustic. Which was delta blues, you then get the Orleans or classic blues, you then get the blues from the great migration, which then became Chicago blues with artists like howlin wolf, then we had boogie woogie, then we had r&b and then we had hard rock
Nah ..not Rob Johnson . Not that strumming pattern. And BB ... to many notes, not enough feel ..all you need to start is the root, and a great sound .. Then maybe a b7 ... and that's all ..
You need to go back to 1927, where the blues really began. Motherless Child written by Barbacue Bob in 1927. It was covered and released in Eric Clapton’s 1994 album From The Cradle.
Okay here goes again and again, you play absolutely awesome. I can only dream of playing half as good as you. How about demonstrating your style for a change.
I think kingfish is killing it in modern times
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Not just him but marcus king too
I’m not huge in the blues scenes but what are y’all’s thoughts on John Mayer in this context?
That was the weirdest Robert Johnson ever.

I own the entirety of Robert Johnson’s discography, and absolutely nothing he made sounds like that, even discounting the electricity.
Kinda sounds like They’re Red Hot I guess
Yeah he played Blind Willie Mctell - Southern can of mine
He did though.
What does it sound like
This is in fact “They’re Red Hot” by Robert Johnson. Blind Blake has a version too, but Johnson wrote it.

Bro, Robert Johnson didn’t get his influence from John Mayer
Damn😂😂😂😂
It's a song called they're red hot by Robert Johnson, it's a blues standard...
😂😂😂
Albert King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Duane Alman, Billy Gibbons, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr, and Kingfish. But sure, let’s just forget about them.
Also Elmore James, Lightnin Hopkins, Charlie Patton, and John Lee Hooker

Yeah but he could at least actually play like the guitarists
Great playing!
How you can play these riffs so well but consistently ruin them with attaching someone else name to it that doesn’t fit
Because thats how he plays jimmy doesnt play like king he plays like jimmy
Found you in the shorts but I dig your content bro. Keep it going, your playing is fantastic through the styles.
