Slow Blues in E - Fingerpicking Guitar Lesson - Bad Blues Part 1 - TABLATURE available

[shabugala]

i just finished my jack daniels to that!! thanks!! great one to learn

[nickelbleu00]

Brilliant rendition of a slow blues on a parlour guitar. Notice the guitar has a nut width wider than the usual 1 11/16. Thanks for the video.

[folkstyleguitar]

Nice pickin' mate

[wannatroll]

how is the string action? low high?

[zuperduperboi]

Usually hate when people always comment on what guitar people are using when the playing really is the important part but I was just wondering what you call that sort of guitar with a small sort of body compared to the neck and head? Have seen a lot of fingerstyle guys with them

Great playing btw :)

[daddystovepipe]

@zuperduperboi

googl parlor guitar

[heatblockingcarcover]

[B0rnles13]

[bigmuso123]

[Realsecman1]

it's magnificent, brilliant, awesome, best slow blues ( any key) that I have seen on YT. I might want to zoom up some, only to see the work of perfection closer. Just inspiring.

[abdounnour]

Thanks a lot for your "FREE" lessons when you don't have many money you're happy to find people like you with talent who share their knowledge for free. How sould I do to get the tabs of your lessons? Have you an advice in the order to take your lessons for a very beguinner? Thanks, I just love what you play. Pierre (from Belgium)

[IvanSODOM]

Cool. Give Me, please, tab.

[jonasjar]

this is great!

[chris03101991]

He had to sell his soul.

[adaptiveagile]

Stunning song and performance.

[fabridel59]

exelent cool



[hermannsburg]

This piece is so beautiful. Kept me practicing all summer - but it's worth while. Thanks for the Tabs. Best wishes from Germany!

[NeerazMeche]

thanx.....man...../

[roomfullofidiots]

ok.enough is enough. i'm so SICK of everyone bitching "please tab this please please"I simply dont understand this. you are watching the guy play every note?! it's called transcribing.if this is intimidating, start with something more simple. everything you need (audio) is right there! It's just really sad, no one wants to work for anything! spend some time. yeah, it might take you a month to figure out, but your overall skill will improve ten fold - I guarantee it.

[zabba312]

@roomfullofidiots Thank you! Well said.

[delta9LouDog]

@roomfullofidiots so true

[wiciousbeasts]

good lord, this is wonderful

[Notled2]

I love how people admire your music and ask for instruction yet its considered nagging you? Ouch to the fans yes.... sounds good, but i'll look else ware for tips n tricks

[daddystovepipe]

@Notled2

I don't consider people asking me for instruction as nagging. .. why would I post lessons then....frankly I don't exactly know what you wnat to say with this kind of comment...btw many of my lessons have even free tablature

[Notled2]

@daddystovepipe

sorry brother, just going off what you put in the description "Many people have been nagging me to do a lesson"

[MrWeedpatch]

@Notled2 ???? What nagging????

[MakMurphy]

Bending man, bending!

[neuregel]

[moonwhiskers]

Aw, Jeez, honey, work it ! Luvin' ya..So cal BLuz gal

[dedicatedtoamazons]

VERY TASTY!!!!!!!

[dedicatedtoamazons]

VERY TASTY!

[HPFalken]

my ear just got a hard on!

[mnbluesboy]

daddy, been listening to you on your website. You play very, very well and many interesting songs.

I"m doing a lot of S. Grossmans stuff at present and I have lots to do there but I think I'd like to mix a song or two of yours in too. They alone would keep my busy for "years"...

Very nicely done indeed!

[giumojo]

It seems you've assimilated the Lonny Johnson's style!

[smturner1000]

WOW Great job

[montreemtx]

Oh Sir

I love this. Really wonderful. Got stuck with it... I wanna learn my loved Slow Blues.

[DarkNomad]

incredible!!!

[12001166]

7.5 euros for a tab for ONE song. Whadda ripoff

[glockdoc]

Bad ass! The tabs are well worth 7.5 euros though, for all I know, that's $1000. This is a step up from Stefan Grossman's excellent slow blues in E. Other instructional materials out there are too basic for me. This presents the right amount of challenge. I'm learning this fast thanks to the tabs. I love the bends and timing of this piece.

[daddystovepipe]

@glockdoc

Thanks for this honest reply, appreciate this.

Let me remind all readers that I cover this song in 5 FREE lessons and that I explain all positions. So you can learn this without any tab, but it will cost you much more time rewinding etc. With the tab at hand it will take you much less time and effort, that's all.

Many of my lessons have free tab which you can download at my website, not exactly a ripoff artist's behaviour ;-)

[valenb26]

dude can u please write a tab for this song???? im like begging

[StarfireEKS]

nice guitar, that great old sound.

[clearviewsanity]

You just LOVE Lightnin' Hopkins, don't you?

[steveo27545]

Yes Indeed. .

That little box rocks .

[brujoal]

were did you come by that guitar? its a beaut.

[daddystovepipe]

@brujoal

it's an old Supertone from around 1927 - got it from a guy on the weenie campbell country blues forum - these old guitars are not that expensive, mine costed $350

[windsurf7772]

a song by a baby why tats cute

[valenb26]

@windsurf7772

its definently baby tate smart ass

[windsurf7772]

@valenb26 poof mongril pomy head

[olsonjonathan]

this is awesome, thanks dude = )

[ReginaldSnoo]

OOPS ! Sorry, I posted too hastily :0/

[ReginaldSnoo]

OOPS ! Sorry, I posted too hastily :0/

[ReginaldSnoo]

Hi

I love this. Is there and TAB? Thanks so much for posting

[maxmoves64]

That intro with the hammering on/off has a Hendrix Red House feel about it. Great lessons and keep `em coming Daddy:)

[cantstandyahoey]

n.c. baby thats me

[NeoTRP]

are you using nails + flesh for index and middle finger?

[daddystovepipe]

yes indeed.

[NeoTRP]

Thanx a lot, I was confused when some people told me that using nails on a steel acoustic was more suited to classical guitar.

Also, I have noted that many old blues masters like hopkins use the thumbpick/ fingerpick combination.

[redchilifan]

i'm using my nails, and it works fine for me....

[lonewolf1234512345]

thanks for giving me some books for my blues library, daddy

[archipankrator]

how are you playing those e7 chords? are you hitting only the bottom 3 strings and are you covering 3rd fret on the 2nd? I can't get it to sound right

[daddystovepipe]

I only play strings 2 (3rd fret) and 3 (1st fret)

at 0.14 and 0.30

[archipankrator]

thanks, I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it

your videos are really great by the way

[zigman6]

what kind of guitar is that? Name? Sounds terrific.

[daddystovepipe]

A cheap 1920ies Supertone.

[wojtekmetal]

@daddystovepipe I bet it isn't cheap in 2000's, unless you bought it in 1920's:)

[Toracube]

Thanks for these lessons!!!!! Need them!

[kerea40]

Weiß jemand ne Idee, wie man in good old Germany an die Tabs rankommt?

[Wunderburn]

Beautiful!!! you gotta love Baby Tate!

[lonewolf1234512345]

I do, but I feel so bad about mom Sharon

[robmarina]

the first 3-2-2-2-0 2 I find the most difficult part, please can you help me with that? i got the tabs

[daddystovepipe]

Send me a personal message (go to my profile and click on 'send message') and refer to the exact measure and beats please.

[matinee310]

Man that is like kicking ass in slow motion!!!!! Im hypnotised!! Excellent

[backdoorman29]

you can say this is what i want to play before i die..

[morphadoodle]

I cant seem to get my guit-fiddle to sound like yours but this song has really grown on me and Im gona just keep on picken. Thanks for the lesson and anyone have any sujestions on what strings I should be ussing?

[daddystovepipe]

That's the right spirit : practice makes perfect.

I use light strings (012 etc) on all my guitars, except the smaller parlor guitars, they're having XL strings (010 or 011 on top)

[gutoman1]

super, really would like the tabs for this perfect song

[ZEDZOR2]

You have incredible touch and feel Daddy Stovepipe.Your phrasing breaths so smooth, your embelishments and motifs are a delight.

[Geekmasterproduction]

if u dont mind bout to steal some licks haha nice song tho thanks

[sheriffdu38]

thank U. from Niger

[backwoodsgps]

most turtlly cool!!!!!

[krayt11]

god I love slow blues that was bad ass

[sheriffdu38]

well done...thanks

[sp4yke]

thank you soooo much for your videos , i'm a young (23) and newbie guitar player from France, and the only music i appreciate playing and listening to is BLUES old delta blues . I don't need to mention that in my circle, listening to delta blues is like beeing a real geek , it's very unlikely to find people who share that fascination for old blues

thank you

ps: pour ceux qui aiment et jouent cette musique je suis partant pr apprendre et paratager :)

[qix1t]

hi (or salut)

Hey, I'm also 23 and i love the old blues stuff. Robert Johnson all the way! I'm from London (but spent a year in Bordeaux studying).

Cheers

Q

[greg3omg]

i thought salut was goodbye. i can't remember but i take 11th grade french (im 14). i could be wrong.

[synusi]

salut is like ciao (italian) or adishatz (occotan) it can mean both.

[Pwerify]

C'est clair qu'en France nous ne sommes pas beacoup :) Je ne suis pas un pro, mais on peut toujours l'un de l'autre.

A la revoyure

[Taekwondoinmyblood]

how do you get that sound?:P

[greg3omg]

i get that sound by using d'arrdio nickel wound strings at 1.07 mm. gives that steely blues sound. i suggest using the electric guitar strings though for a steelier sound.

[sixpakplayer]

I use DR "Pure Blues" Nickel On my 000-28EC guage 11-50 smaller guitars use 10-46. I've just started, less than two years.

[stratdelux09]

That a Washburn R-318, Daddy?

[daddystovepipe]

It's a Supertone from the 20ies - a so-called 'catalog-guitar' - guitars sold by companies like Sear Roebuck, Montgomery Ward etc were called like that. Supertone was Sears' brand.

[gummiersvalur]

wow you dont show what you do

you do this to fast

[dbainter1]

Great details - thanks for taking the time to share this.

Dave

[ice9001]

I can`t tel you how much I APPRECIATE these lessons mate they are amazing your teaching the blues to a whole new generation . Respect were can I GET YOUR CDs mate I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK .

[daddystovepipe]

Thanks ice, if you click on my usersname you're directed to my profile where you can click on the cd's that are available.

[lesourn]

Another tune to learn at the feet of the Master. Thanks for sharing this with all your friends around the world.

[melkkoe]

super!!!

[gbvb79]

thankyou sir, very very good blues lesson!

[captbadhand]

Mr Stovepipe You my man were borne to play the blues.  Brovo to your sharing of that gift and helping us to understand that style. You my man are an incredible player and teacher. I have been enriched today. Captbadhand

[ghostgal30e]

Easy listening.

[om28ec]

Ik ben echt gelukkig nog zo een geweldige les van u te krijgen. Ik wou graag uw twee CD' kopen.

[myguitarvideoarchive]

Mr Stovepipe you were absolutely right - this is going to take me a long time. Can't seem to get past the bend on the G in the first measure. You just make it look way too easy.

[daddystovepipe]

You can make that bend easier in two ways

1. replace your G string with a 020 gauge plain string (I used it in my previous recording - see link in vid description) The plain string will bend much easier - lotsa old bluesmen did this.

2. instead of one righthand hit you can do it in two hits : first hit string 3, fret 3 and bend, then hit string 3, fret 2 and do the hammer and the two pulloffs - this way you don't loose sound as much

[junglecruiser]

Thanks so much for posting this. I really appreciate you for sharing your talent and music.

Will

[epicn61]

can you say bad ass ? All you need now is to be playing on the street with a concealed firearm and disgruntled outlook on the world and your set!

[gitfiddlejoe]

THAT guitar is awesome Daddy. What brand, and what vintage..>I LOVE that fret board...it's HUGE! OH and GREAT lesson!

[daddystovepipe]

It's a "Supertone" (hence the big sound :)

Supertone was a "catalog" guitar, Sears and Roebuck in this case. This one was ready to play and costed $350 on ebay. It's from the 20ies; in 1940 the name changed into Silvertone.

[bennydreadful]

Fantastic! So is that in the key of E or open E tuning?

[daddystovepipe]

Standard tuning, key of E

[bennydreadful]

Thank you kindly!

[robindavies24]

I'm still working on the tab you kindly sent me before, but looking to sign up on this one!

[jd2946]

This is what I have been waiting for! Thanks Daddy

[Airave]

Sweet lil' Guitar you be playin' thar, Daddy.

I started improvising lyrics and jamming along

until my evil wife came out (of the b/r) and gave me

that ol' evil eye! Now you know why I'm always

a-sleepin' on the couch!

Keep that engine tanked and firing!

Peace and 5 stars.

[myguitarvideoarchive]

10 bucks for the tab sounds like a fair deal to me. Bonus is it'll be accurate too. Now if only you had something to help with my rhythm
