[banamine]

I Found my Genra of awesome music ,,,,,,,,,

[AirtondeIgaratinga]

It´s must to accelerate the tractor a little kind 20%.

[gorblimey61]

That tractor sounds like one healthy machine. Same goes for the Duolian.

[cagi369]

Eh si il blues è nato qui in mezzo alla campagna fra tabacco, mais e wiskey. Wowwwwww

[sigurd2334]

[FRANFRANism]

Tractor Blues Builds Co.

Muito legal!

[maZZiveAttack]

Pretty country

Great guitar

[Flyboy207]

Howdy Mr. John, could you give me some sort of advice to play like you did in this video? I really like the sound and I might try do do this with our old John Deere Model A.

[BottleneckJohn]

@Flyboy207

I just play, so go ahead and get your old tractor running and play along!!

[markusklawi]

Das ist cool. Richtig schöne handgemachte Musik. Noch nie was vergleichbares gehört.

[rickosports]

brill

[zhred]

Vad är de för gittar och hur har du lärt dig att spela så bra? :O

[feitosablues]

Lindo!!!!!

Cara Mto Bom MesmO!

O som diesel explodindo E uns Riffs Muito Legal!

[BottleneckJohn]

@feitosablues

Graças!

[marshgre]

Nice. Love how the old engines can be slowed down. My fathers Gardner diesel could be slowed down to a point that you could count the individual cylinders firing. Of course then he tells stories about "Puffin' Bill" the stationary one lunger his father had when he was a kid. Old machines talk so I'm not surprised to hear them "sing".

[BottleneckJohn]

@marshgre

Great story, thanks!!



[Wamlet]

@marshgre Wonderful to read this recollection.

[wildesolivera1]

quero ver acompanhar o ritimo,,,,de uma Harley kkkkkkkkk

[sky12066sed3]

Bottleneck John is the BOSS, make no mistake about it.

[KoffeJansson]

Att en gammal viktor lät gött det visste jag, men detta är ju helt underbart!

[BottleneckJohn]

@KoffeJansson

Hehe, tack för det, coola toner från grejer av metall!

[haunter112]

"a bit tricky since the pace goes up and down"

Ha... just like most drummers I know!

[papuchivictor]

[BottleneckJohn]

@papuchivictor

[BottleneckJohn]

@fredde88888888

[BottleneckJohn]

@curbshoppin

Thanks, yeah, I dig the groove too!

Got some clips where I play with a steamengine and also an ol'timey hot-bulb engine, haha. Mechanical groove..

[thatscarsthisismusic]

An amazing idea, I love it - great playing as well.

[BottleneckJohn]

@thatscarsthisismusic

Hey John! really great video and great music. I love it and I have subscribed your Channel.

[BottleneckJohn]

@1959Werner

Thank you very much!!!!!!

[sebbe026]

Suveränt!

[duramax250]

what type of guitar?

[jkwparrott]

@duramax250 it's a dobro, not a guitar.

[BottleneckJohn]

@duramax250

This is a 1933 National Duolian, a resonator guitar, a mechanically amplified instrument invented in the late 1920's.. It has a "speaker-cone" inside giving it a greater volume!! And a cool bluesy tone!! Thanks for watching!!

[grishandlarn]

Tajtaste rytmsektionen någonsin!

[BottleneckJohn]

@grishandlarn

Helt klart!!

[ge11ert]

nice mate :)) he never do mistake :P

[magnumdog]

The first sepia shot it's worthy to be framed and hanged in the wall.

[BottleneckJohn]

Haha, good idea!!

[slimerandtheslob]

Awesome vid!

[KDP1989]

Great guitar work! Wanna play the slide like you... keep on rockin'

[BottleneckJohn]

Thanks a lot!! Keep on slidin'!!!

[oldrustycars]

Brilliant! Who would have thought there would such a great blues guitarist so far from the Mississippi delta? But I kept worrying you were going to hit the belt with your elbow...

[BottleneckJohn]

LoL!!

Thanks for your concern, I was a bit interested to see if that belt would pop off the wheels and hit me, haha..

This was a fun jam, in the summer of 2010 I'll be doin' some entire shows with old engines keepin' the rhythm, gonna be fun!!

[d3adp001]

the tract is just a bit fast, take the idle screw up 1/2 a turn :P

[BottleneckJohn]

:-)
