Moanin' Blues - Lonnie Johnson/Texas Alexander - 12 string

[EdGreenTelle]

Amazing cover

[RagtimeDorianHenry]

fantastic, I'm a big fan of Texas Alexander.

[Pipposk88]

WTF!!! Amazing!!! Fuckin' amazing ... Greatings from Italy..

[EthanAllen420]

I particularly like the riff that begins at 0:48 and ends near 0:56-7. Brilliant.

[EthanAllen420]

I really thought this was Lonnie Johnson -- fantastic! You're a really skilled blues player.

[bubbah12345]

what guage strings and what tuning are you using

i cant seem to bend my strings at all but im also using strings that came on it

[daddystovepipe]

@bubbah12345

a 12-string xl set - for the rest read description please

[nickmlo]

Dude, you kick butt. Nice.

[LittleBrotherBlues]

You are slippery in how you slip that Lonnie stuff in there so nice and smooth. Sneaky bastar.... ;)

[gitarrefish08]

very good job

[jessupar]

I would imagine the tremollo brush things would be easyer on a 12 string... but if it were tuned to EADGBE im pretty sure the bends would be harder. otherwise it'd be the same as a 6 string...

[DancingOwl]

Superlatives cannot begin to describe the raw emotion coupled with such supple, deceptively relaxed playing in this piece. Bravo my friend, it is as if Lonnie's ghost walks in your fingers. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[stringybarkin]

your all to anal each musician is wat they are. just to be able to smile over pickin something is enough aint this guy rocks

[AlexSolis1980]

Good job man! Your blues is fantastic

[drakwnianos]

very nice, i would like to hear you singing black snake moan

[daddystovepipe]

1969 or 1970 I guess.

[blkactor87]

Blues is hard enough to get right, the feeling, but damn you make it sound even better on a 12 string which is what I've been playing on. If you can get it on a 12 string 6 should be a breeze.

[rocknfenderguy]

no, if you get it on a 6 string, 12 string is a breeze, lol... I'm a blues guitarist

[jimmycrackcorn1983]

your a retard 12 string is so much harder u aint shit but a lyar

[rocknfenderguy]

have you ever played a 12 string before? you, sir, are the retard. It feels the exact same way, if you have a cheap 12 string with high action, then that's tough.... Go to a guitar store and play a decent 12 string, anything done with a 6 string acoustic can be done with a 12, it just sounds different.

[lchanneth]

nah man rocknfender is right.

if you have a decent twelve string it's pretty much the same, just feels a little weird until you get used to it.

[86Supra]

AMazing this song makes me happy inside

[debmo1]

Sure do stay true to them ol' blues daddy. Thanks for the look and listen! Hope someday you'll learn one of mine. You take em and just make em better and better!!

[wobluemoon]

man I love the faces your making

[wthbrosiff59]

lol If you like those faces.. Look at B.B Kings Faces... Sweet sixteen live.... When you play blues you get a feeling like the guitar is talking to you. It's a great feeling.

[daviemcf]

Yeah man!!!

[SpaceshipRentals]

beautiful

[josvankampen]

Super!

[pachacamacs]

Schitterend ! You have a great feel for the blues (*****)

[LizzyDouglas]

TNX voor je reactie en je gitaarinfo vanwege Lonnie. Ben bezig de LP's van Lonnie die ik heb te digitaliseren. Overigens, spreekt het vanzelf, dat ik zeer ingenomen ben met je eigen instrumentale & vocale prestaties op YT. Ook opvallend te zien dat je met 10 snaren speelt. Het gitaarmerk "Martin" is natuurlijk erg bekend, 'Kay' ken(de) ik niet!

[LizzyDouglas]

Daddy, leuk om uit te vinden, dat je uit Vlaanderen komt en je dit zonder problemen kunt lezen. "Lonnie Johnson" op de achtergrond, ik ben ook een groot fan van Lonnie. Op foto óók Lonnie's gitaar, weet jij wat voor een gitaar dit is? Merk/Type?

[daddystovepipe]

Het is een kleine wereld niet; de gitaar links is een Martin 21, die rechts een electrische Kay vermoed ik.

[TeamCannabis]

daddystovepipe,beautifully played,what a song,and it so reminds me of the master Robert Johnson.Your 12 string rings true like your voice and your overall brilliant feel for this incredible music.Thanks,from a true fan of you and yours.

[zoomex]

very nice guitar sound & voice!!!

[giorgiopicker]

yeahhhh!!

tnx

[Manitor]

Beautiful.

[petraki53]

reincarnation of Lonnie Johnson?

or of Texas Alexander?

or both!?! ...........

whoooooooooooooeee!!

[waitswatcher]

daddy.. what I like about your playing is that you really know what you are doing there!

lots of people claim they play blues, but they rarely do so, it always sounds fake.type 'blues' & 'guitar' in the search field above and you see what I mean.

your channel is essential for me, hats off.

regards, ww

[bluesy13]

Great Sound!!! I can see You put a Lot of Feelings into Your Style, That is the Blues!!! Straight From the Heart!!!!! Long Live The Blues!!!

[deltaslim]

Awesome! Blues feeling but with jazzy harmonies.

[OTISCHIEF]

Excellent you should try Lonnies "playin with the strings" FIVE STARS

[stringpiano]

Used to live in Belgium in the late 70´es an´ pretty quickly got to know some guitarists, banjoplayers a.s.f who often played in the pedestrian streets, markets, little "speak-easies" - you name it. In all these years long gone I consider you one of the most gifted non-professionals I´ve ever listened to. As you say yourself genious might be too a big word. Talented like hell, then! Always a pleasure to listen to your stuff, Daddy. Who else on The Tube matches Lonnie Johnson but you?

[aaxtis1]

Fantastic! I have posted you up on my website... the soundclips page ..what a genius! Is he french???

Terry

[daddystovepipe]

Thanks Terry, but "genius" makes me feel uncomfortable. Everything I do has been done before; I just mix and match it. I'm Belgian, Flemish to be exact (main language is close to Dutch - like American and Australian English:-)

[aaxtis1]

Well lets say that a few folks would love to play a hell of a lot like this... giving some people a great buzz! genius or not...you can bloody well play the blues!

terry

[pachacamacs]
