He's in a room of 14000 dollar gibsons, and he's making sweet sounds with that Harmony! Shows its the archer, not the arrow.

[leroy0053]

@masterhorax yes sir!!!

[rwijaya]

[sk8rasta39]

am i the only 13 year old watching this?

[willwelsh816]

pete has a very annoying laugh lol

[MrSoulman26]

Could sit and listen to his stories all day, gotta get as much info from him as we can...one of the last great blues legends

[JazzyDave]

Somehow, and I could be wrong...but I'm pretty that cat doing the interview has never seen bailing wire...but the best part about Mr. Sumlin's interviews is that you can just wind him up and let him go...and we'll all sit there in awe until he stops!

[gibsoneer321]

What a gentleman,would love to meet him

[jacobbeahm]

hubert sumlin search results on youtube 777 vids

[xXxStrangleHoldxXx]

I could spend 100 lifetimes talking and playing with Hubert,He's seen it all !!!!!

[dickies1922x]

I have much respect for this man, but its damn hard to understand what he's saying.

[spr95que]

@dickies1922x

Dick, that is the problem! Don't try to understand him! Feel him and you will have no questions!

[zthetha]

Saw Hubert back in the early sixties on the legendary Folk Blues Tour in Bradford UK with Howlin Wolf, Sonny Boy and a host of other great blues men. Of course, back then I was only interested in the music and had no idea what a very nice man he was. Delightful clip - thank you so much.

[mauronr]

Can you imagine being a grandson or a grand-grandson of Hubert's?

He's gotta be a damn good grandpa!

[TakeNoGuff]

mr. sumlin is playing tonite @ cozy's in sherman oaks Ca. for FREE...

[Bumptiously]

This is just a treasure ! Anybody watching this doesnt know who the gracious/responsive host is, he is one of the greatest guitar players anywhere... except for maybe hubert sumlin : )

[nighthawkcustom065]

i met hubert tonigh and shook his handt. sooo pumped

[johntcolo]

Just an amazing interview, I haven't seen anything like that in years. Kudos for posting!

[srvvaughan93]

what guitar used hubert i nthis video?

[phojczyk]

Hubert played at my stage @Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest. What a kind man, I was in awe. His style was so effortless, so smooth, so bluesful! This interview shows the real man! Only thing it doesn't show are the coolest slippers with gold-embroidered guitars.

[JazzBill]

His work with Howlin Wolf is classic . Hubert is the man !!!!!

[xsamitt]

God bless you Hubert......

[Optimistiq1]

the interview certainly lives in a shed

[stevieb2400]

ohh yes i was yeaa

[lighteningboy]

Great post, thanks! That was a great way to spend 10 minutes.

[DustyR101]

Question, is that one of the vintage rooms in hollywood california?????

[jakesimmons815]

thats the hollywood vintage room.

[javadude54]

Talk about living history. I've read a lot of interviews with Hubert Sumlin but it's so much better hearing it from the man himself.

[Bluzer86]

one of the old cats, great video

[BEB131]

Hes awesome... i met him last week... you can hardly understand what hes saying now and his fingers are slower these days but hes still awesome

[1950jimbei]

He talks just like he plays the guitar; with lots of humor, which makes you listen.

BTW the price tags of those guitars!

[elcurly117]

no mames

[tony9L9L]

Thanks very much for posting- I really enjoyed listeing to Mr Sumlin.

[Bluezking]

Hubert's music resonates through all these great Blues guitarist just to name a few >SRV.

Sumlin is the man.

[liveforeverandaday]

[lanceROFLCOPTERS]

[apostle313]

LMFAO "do you remember your first RECTALECTION" WTF?

[Bohumill2]

LMFAO...WTF...LOL...OMG...

stop wit this!!!!

[apostle313]

betcha didnt notice till u saw my comment lol

[dustin11]

Leave it to a Guitar Center employee to make an anal reference to Hubert Sumlin.

I think he's so impressed he subconciously wants to bone Hubert, hence the freudian slip.

[ghaws]

man... his persona is even cooler than his music!

[sedanglah]

Love 2 watch this!!

[EricClaptonFan24]

[Schpoonfish]

Sumlin

[microtechg7]

There will never be another Hubert Sumlin. I love listening to his stories.

[Schpoonfish]

I love that excited expression on his face when he mentions the judging- priceless. Long live Hubert!

[spenserspenser25]

Thank you for posting this. Hubert is great. If you get the chance to buy the dvd "Lightning in a bottle", take it. Buy 2 copies and give one to your best friend. It is worth buying just for Hubert doing Killing Floor.

[craigschirato]

Here's a man I'd like to jam with. God bless him.

[adamsvok]

sure he is

[Soulnik]

This guy is cooler than cool.

[kingrayben800]

@Soulnik of course he is he is a fucking blues man

[LittleBrotherBlues]

God that was amazing! Truly and uttlerly inspiring to hear him talk and play

[hoosd42]

I love listenin' to this guy. I feel like I'm listening to my grand papey

[erj215]

THIS IS A CLASSIC INTERVIEW

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

God Bless Hubert ^_^

guitar at 6. wish i started that young -_-

[DoctorNumber46]

yea seriously. Although Hendrix and Jerry Garcia learned late, at 16 and 15 respectively so it seems that the later you start... although it might be that the more you're into music, the better you learn.

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

*sigh* tears me apart tho xD i started 3 years ago and i'm 22 =( but i'm trying to learn quick xD it's the best part anyway haha.

if it's one thing that Ts me off...it's having emotion and a guitar and having no idea how to show it except in cover songs xD but i'm getting there...hopefully.

[erj215]

Actually Jimi Got his first gtr at 13... nonetheless i see your point!!

[ryan401]

yeah but im simply saying.....you dont need to be black to have the blues...or play them...you just need a reason...i hate how ppl ride down on white people...

[riverpeople]

he broke the diddly bo!

[ryan401]

hey uname1950 why dont you shut the fuck up you fuckin poser i dont see any videos on your page douchebag...and "crackers" brought back the blues....ever hear of a man called Stevie Ray Vaughan...blues would be gone if it wasnt for him you fuckin douchebag

[krakahead]

I love SRV, but that was a ludicrous comment, he didn't save the blues. He wouldn't have been anything if it weren't for the blues and the black folk that created it. Same can be said for many white artists.

"Crackers" profited it from it while the artists couldn't even drink from a regular water fountain or eat a meal in a restaurant.

A damn shame.

[hoosd42]

The fact of the matter is that Blues is it's own thing and ya can't infuse race into it. I'm white and I've felt the blues in my soul all my life. And I've been playing the blues since I pick'd up a guitar. So every body chill with the whole racial thing it's the bloddest dead horse in the world that people keep beatin' on it's gettin old.

[blacksue07]

hehe, just 'cause you enslaved millions of black people and they totes took it on the chin and invented rock and roll, pwned!!1!

[hoosd42]

what? what you wrote doesn't make any sense, can you please clarify.

[Faroutdog]

Facts are Blacks invented the blues & Rock n' Roll

[hoosd42]

Not true, blacks had a key influence on the invention of rock n' roll but ya can't attribute birth of rock and roll to one race. Rock n' Roll was a mixture of both country and blues, white and black. Ebony and ivory working together in perfect harmony. Rock n' Roll is probably one the loudest and most powerful statements of racial unity ever and to attribute it to one race is an insult to the genre itself.

[M0n3yz1]

Well said...

[bobbtav]

srv didnt bring blues back the blues has never left cuz the king is still alive (BB) and guys like buddy guy not to take a thing a way from stevie tho but the blues is going nowhere!

[uname1950]

Crackers always trying to steal from the originators.

[realbirchwood]

shut up

[BluesBoyBlue]

"ah man! I was apps!" lol words from a true master of blues guitar

[dsarverr]

Whoever that guy is giving the interview seems so fake, i.e. his laughs and other expressions. It's kind of annoying. Anyway, Hubert's awesome!

[hvnboi]

haha hubert is a kool guy i love the way he talks haha, love that 1920's style talkin

[bigb934]

that guys awesome you just gotta smile when you see him hes great!

[voodoochild312]

is that like a gibson verson of a telecaster?

[Totakeke13]

its a 60s harmony may be a strato tone , see ebay / harmony electris guitar

[adamsvok]

listen to those P-90s. sounds like shit...

Hubert rules! He's my favourite blues player... after the great Louis Armstong!

[tdblues]

THAT WAS AMAZING!!! Chief-Architect of the Electric Blues!! Yes SIR!

[wig1]

I love you Hubert.

[hubgapaz]

thanks guy.

[delnemorio]

he is my hero on the guitar

[bluesyboots]

I got spend about half an hour with Hubert backstage at The Fleece in Bristol, UK in 2004. He's such a warm character, I love the guy!!! Plus he was the first blues player I ever heard! When I told him I've stolen a lot of his lines he said "Let me tell ya sumthin' I steal a lotta shit too".

[SSJ2Killua]

Haha, that's hilarious :D

[kunutc]

I met him too, sounds like him. He is from a different era, we are blessed

[bluesyboots]

Yes we are indeed! I said 2004, it was actually 2002, it was 2004 I met Walter Trout (Also at the fleece is Bristol) hehe!

[Pduster451]

Hubert truely is the blues. Awsome clip

[biokees]
