LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS style acoustic blues on E

[KriittinenKriitikko]

hey man i love lightnin hopkins and i'd love to sample a rap beat from his guitar playing but the recordings are not too good for sampling, i was thinking is it possible if u could record your playing with better sound quality for me to sample it? your name would be in cedits ofcourse!

[harpiebob]

nice playing, but its not coming out in E, its in F

[GJSsongsmith]

Nice job am a player and teacher in england ... Some cool moves more power to your mojo !

[guillelorentzen]

Very nice... Hopkins was the best... The tabs please...

[shabs124]

I love you man.... thanks for this!!!!

[sambobla]

amazing! really good playing, i love Sam Hopkins' music!

[MoKauffey]

nice.......

[corzocl]

whats the guitar tuning?

[JolietJakeBlues1981]

Well cool.

[hiddenpunk291]

for some reason it looks like you have 6 fingers on your right hand

[RayPaganJr]

@hiddenpunk291 Holy shit. You're so right on. Made me pause it and count. LOL.

I saw Tokio play with Stefan Grossman in Brooklyn, NY at the Good Coffeehouse Music Parlor about 2 years ago....enjoy his palying very much

[michaelcapponi2]

i think you've confused e with f

[fredinblack]

Who cares if you're out of tune a bit?i don't even hear it cause you're playing so good!  to me it's a pretty cool rendition of Lighnin Hopkins style! cool work man!

[thugdoutforlife]

not out of tune, using a capo on F

[faaradar]

Nice Job!!

[thepenismighty69]

very nice!

[floundericiousWA]

nice to my ears!

[HueyLewisRocks]

Great stuff, really nice bit of blues.

[Vermillion2176]

You are not much if any out of tune, but when you tune to A 440 you are playing in the Key of F. So you are a half step sharp. That may be what the folks are talking about. Nice blues licks

[Freethinker12341]

you're a bit out of tune man

[dacrowster]

@Freethinker12341

So was Lightnin' all the time !!! l:)

[JohnnyHorton]

very nice

[frozzyman1]

overly complicated. too much going on to really get into and way to soft for playing like lightnin'. I don't think you've really listened to him at all. You don't need to show off. impressive if you like that sort of thing

[fghjhgf99]

off tune?

[mikmc]

Very good !!

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

Fine Roots Blues picking....great guitar......reminds me a bit of Lonnie Johnson....but he was more "polished"

[ironflyyy]

I'd really want to buy this awesome guitar but I can't find it anywhere here in Europe...can you please help me?

[popipus]

Bravo

[GDguitarplayer]

your tuner must be broke huh? Great playing tho!

[peteholm]

I'm a Lightning lover. Nice to watch your playing.

[daveburnham]

Nice !

[flikda3flip]

realy nice job man!

[JeffMarchand]

nice tips

[JosCaravan]

Very very cool..!

[JeanPaul1964]

wow great!!

[PPOIRI000]

Pretty good...down to the guitar slighly out of tune on the G string!

[jessupar]

it sounded like the low E was also sharp. he probably tuned the guitar, then put the capo on. those style of capos usually screw the tuning up a bit.

[everysinglenamesgone]

Yoku dekimashita!

[ThomasDeLello]

You got Lightnin' Hopkins down tight.

[2009framat]

Good playing!

Do you like Jimmy Reed?

If so just click on my name and you can watch my tribut to him: It is an animated short film with our music to honor Jimmy Reed.

Bassy- it IS in E.Your E harp does not, however, sound in E so far as the guitar is concerned. Its confusing... You need a different key harp to play with guitars in e

[svidrigajlov]

awesome!

do you have tabs for this?

[BassyBassborn]

nice one... allthough it's not E...

i was searching for one in E, 'cause i just bought a blues harp in E and was trying to find a video to practice!!

[everysinglenamesgone]

He's using a capo and playing in E.

[lilbill73]

Nice pants.

[pretourious]

Sweet blues!

[fiyahman79]

wat 2 go bro

[n4min0]

Holy shit! That is really nice!!! Is this actually a LH song or you just made it up using on his style? Congrats mate - keep up the good work!

[triadblues]

awesome, wish i could play that delta style blues.

[dvs123naruto123fan]

i luv it

keep it up

[Bluzer86]

very very nice

[siniorito00]

nice walkin base!! good job bro

[DC47sdfsdf]

the walkin base is really good - and that is the hard part of playing that guitar blues style, don´t you think?

[free3easy]

gentle and still burns, nice. but ur guitar was a little out man !!

[peacefrog1916]

love it.

[mufasamusic]

Put the metronome on the 2 and 4, everytime you practice. Keep on! good stuff

[DC47sdfsdf]

I am glad to hear that you are having problem with keeping a regular speed - just like me:-)

Otherwise a very nice sound in that guitar
