Delta Blues Guitar / Real Beef Bone (Bottleneck Slide) / Blind Willie Johnson

[5slide]

Hey Keni, this is great, very haunting - love it!

Can I ask what guitar you are using? It sounds great.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. I am playing a steel bodied Duolian model from Republic guitars. These guitars provide excellent tone and volume and sell for a very resonable price. Enjoy.

[gayouj]

God I love your playing. I can always tell when I'm listening to Keni Lee.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for the your positive encouragement. Greatly appreciated. Enjoy.

I sure enjoyed that one Keni. Will have to watch it again though and keep my eye balls open this time. The first they closed up and we drifted along with the tune. Very soulful my friend.

Jimbo

PS: Gonna have to try me one of them beef bones. Very smooth.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you Jim. Yes, I believe Randy is going to sell his beef bone guitar slides on ebay too. Hey, if you can't find it on ebay, I don't think it exists. LOL. Enjoy.

[gregks08]

Soulful, Keni. Just soulful.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. Enjoy.

[jimendo45qf]

Really great job! Thanks again Keni

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you Jim. I was hired by a client to entertain his guests for 30 minutes in Central Park before they have dinner at Tavern on the Green. He requested this song. Enjoy.

I don't know about mojo, but you sure had a great feel going there .. How's the slide feel on the strings .. I like it ! ..

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. The slide has a polished smooth surface, not porous at all. Slides smooth just like your Baby's bottom...LOL. Enjoy.

5 stars buddy! sounds like hangin up in a tree, watchin your home float downstream. man, its the blues!

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your kind rating and comment. Wow, that sure is the Blues when your home becomes a Houseboat. "Its flooding down in Texas...all the telephones lines are down"...

[FLTlingit]

Yeah buddy! Slow, smooth and smokey! That's some sweeet tasting blues Kenni!

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Enjoy.

[malerror]

dat bone sounds good. I remember using a stripped bass fish scale for a pick... it sounds like a finger nail.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your comment. Enjoy.

[LedZeplican]

awesome!

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. I guess "I got my Mojo Working" on this one. LOL Enjoy.

[LedZeplican]

haha

[KeniLeeBurgess]

If your mojo is working, you lead a charmed life. That's because mojo, in its original sense, is a charm, kept in a cloth bag. Depending on which conjure doctor you go to, the charm can be roots, rats, snakes, lizards, pumpkin seeds, dirt, clay, or steel wool.

[LedZeplican]

wow thats cool

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Those were ingredients mentioned in North Carolina in 1962. Back in the late 1930s, in Memphis, Tennessee, to make a mojo one expert said you would sew a red flannel bag with these ingredients: High John de Conker (a plant known also as Solomon's seal), black lodestone, Adam and Eve root, and violet incense powders. A 1946 account from New Orleans said that the mojo was "the leg bone of a black cat that's been killed in a graveyard at midnight."

[LedZeplican]

thanks for the info man. cheers.

[JesseMathews]

wow those cow bones really sustain much more then steel or glass, and like a fat dry sound, very nice 5 stars man ! , I bet this was inspired from blind Willie Johnson or Ry Cooder's dark was the night/Paris Texas :D.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, bone that is hard and dry, almost petrified, has a density that will easily, if not surpass, glass or metal in tonal quality. Glass bottlenecks are more common. Working with bone is something special. Fred Mc Dowell used a one inch bone ring. Yes, this demonstration is based on Blind Willie Johnson's Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground and You're Gonna Need Somebody on your Bond. Enjoy.

[jollyroo]

Very soulful, soothing, subtle... well: bloody good! A joy to listen and watch.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you for your kind words. Enjoy.
