pee wee crayton blues after hours lesson

- Pee Wee Crayton is one of the founding fathers of electric blues lead guitar along with T-Bone, Lowell Fulson, etc. T-Bone is clearly a big starting point for him, but he played it with a twist and his own personal stamp. I go through some of the choruses of his #1 hit "Blues After Hours", which he recorded in 1948, then in 1971 on Vanguard, then in 1975 on Johnny Otis's Spectrum label. There are some AWESOME live versions of him playing this tune. It's basically a set piece-- he added two go arounds to the 1948 version. This got me talking about the value of learning some of the great songs note for note-- I think it's a very good thing! When it comes to playing solos and building songs that make sense, it's a way more valuable approach than just learning a lick here and there.

Pee Wee is my cousin. He was the greatest!!
That is so cool! Yes his music will live forever. I wish I could have known him in person. Thank you Connie!
Hi Connie, I've got a red Stratocaster with a white pickguard in my house. When I look at that guitar, Pee Wee comes to mind. Best wishes from the south west coast of the island of Australia.
hello mr!your play is awesome!l love blues!keep on playing! take care.
rock on Diesel Clean thanks a lot
Cheers Johnny
That's one of my favourites along with "Bounce Pee Wee" from Crayton.
What a great player, many dynamics and cool melodies along the whole tune.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
Giorgos thanks a lot man! Pee Wee was just spellbinding.
I love this tune!! I must admit that I first heard it played by Junior Watson, his cover led me to search for Pee Wee Crayton, a fabulous player who should be better kown. He also has a tune called "Do Unto Others" from which The Beatles may or may not have lifted the guitar intro to "Revolution".
Do Unto Others is amazing. I like that Texas Hop too.
I was waiting for you to post another lesson so I could ask you to talk about Pee Wee Crayton! Thanks so much for this.
I'm gonna have to do a Pee Wee uptempo lesson too. Thank you Mike!

Great lesson and very useful advice. One of my favourite players.I heard he never liked the famous red strat he was given by Fender.
Thank you Johnny, great!
Hey Slawek! thanks so much man!
Beautiful!
thanks a lot Dennis!
Thank you Johnny, great choice!
Lafayette Thomas opened the 2nd chorus of "Sneaky Pete" (Little Brother Montgomery) with those sliding 6/9s. It might be a coincidence, but his sense of G there might have been shaped by Pee Wee Crayton.
Great song and great lesson
thanks a lot Gfunke! it's truly a masterpiece of a song.

I like how you break down to learn the whole tune and set the MOOD!! Crucial business my brother. You are doing some of the best work out there in keeping this music alive. I really appreciate you and all that you do. Keep kicking these out! Love love LOVE em like a milkshake from Lefty's (the burger spot here on the corner: should you ever come visit the crib we will go grab Lefty's... You will NOT be disappointed 😌)
I appreciate that! Rock on Antoine!

Parts of this tune remind me of a Johnny Otis track featuring Pete "Guitar" Wilson on guitar: "Midnight in The Barrelhouse".
hadn't heard that one it's fantastic!
