Sliding Open E Blues

[xijack]

he said your beard reminded him of a sheep's ass,

when you said "you gotta make love to it" i had to lock him outside

[messiahsez]

@xijack Perhaps the funniest comment ever.

[Fruitfactory]

messiahsez.

I have got an 120-year old acoustic steelstring sitting at home here. Havent been friends with it so far but...your blues irradiates through the cables over here to my old guitar here in Sweden and the real blues came out!!

[messiahsez]

@Fruitfactory That is one of the nicest things that has ever been said to me. I am humbled and shaking inside. Thank you so very much. Let it flow, let it flow.

[MrStubat]

[messiahsez]

@CnnrFrench Thank you so much. That you feel my soul is a powerful and beautiful statement. That is why I do it. Thank you aso very much. Rock on. Feel it. It is beautiful!!!

[Romeowasbleeding1]

Great! I'm from South Africa, and this is lovely! I often think the hard and sometimes dangerous lifestyle in the bush in South Africa gives one a pretty good connection to American country music. I think you just inspired me to start learning some slide guitar!

[messiahsez]

@Romeowasbleeding1 You have made my day. Thanks so much. If I inspire you that inspires me. Thanks so much. Do it. It is fun!!!

[generaldirection93]

your shot

[MrsNani00]

Whoa, crazy, who knew Walt Whitman played guitar... 

[messiahsez]

@MrsNani00 Funny. That has been said before, but rarely. Usually Santa, gandalf, or zz top. You are clearly an educated person. Thanks.

[Jdelaney247]

The way I learned slide guitar was mostly guided by this video. Thanks!

[messiahsez]

@Jdelaney247 Dang. That means the world to me. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. Teach it to your children. Thanks so much.

[515742617000027]

Awesome.

[messiahsez]

@515742617000027 No, you are awesome. Thanks so much!!!

[MrMdevaney]

[messiahsez]

@MrMdevaney Well I pulled my harp out of my dirty red bandana, playin soft while messiah sez the blues... Thanks yo. A pleasure to jam with you.

[xMJ93x]

Please never ever stop doing this, amazing

[messiahsez]

@xMJ93x Dang, thanks. Until death do us part. It shall be done. You ate way nice. Never stop doing that. I mean it too.

[xMJ93x]

@messiahsez Damn automatic correction haha

[magnvsmarcvs]

Nice playin and nice fockin beard !

[messiahsez]

@magnvsmarcvs Thanks very much. If you search my site there is a video on the secret of the beard. As to the playing.... Just feel it!!! Yo.

[wannatroll]

you almost committed a crime. that's how dirty it was.

[messiahsez]

@wannatroll Wow. A compliment if ever I heard one. Thanks so much.

[wannatroll]

@messiahsez I forgot to tell you I bought myself a guitar couple weeks ago because of you. So you really impressed me. Uniqueness.

I am sick of these commercial blues players.

[waderp]

awsome sound

[messiahsez]

@waderp Thanks very much! Your kindness is an awesome sound!!

[ManSpoil]

Muito legal...

[messiahsez]

@ManSpoil Goodnight to you as well. Sleep well. Be well.

[1961Imperiallover]

Yeah, I actually have a specific question, come to think of it.

It's about turnarounds. See, if I play lapsteel, I can't finger-fret turnarounds, because my strings are raised. I'd need some slide turnarounds for someone who can't play for the life of his.

God bless you, Sir.

[messiahsez]

@1961Imperiallover Bless you too. I will figure this out for you. On the road now. Give me a little time yo.

[1961Imperiallover]

I'm 47 and just started to play. I have never played any instrument before. I have a Dobro and play it lapsteel for the most part.

You are the one who really got me going. I learned more from you in ten minutes than from all the other lame so-called tutorials together.

Then I had to find out you are a wall street occupier and Ron Paul supporter.

Being 4000 miles away from Wall Street restricts me to participate only in the "keep Wall Street occupied" movement, I hope that counts.

[messiahsez]

@1961Imperiallover I am first a person who loves. I am thrilled at you picking up your dobro. Everything you do counts. It is a pleasure to hear from you. Keep up the good work. Ask me specific questions too, I would be happy to help.

[1961Imperiallover]

Forget Grindpad666. I have no idea why people who know bugger all about anything have to post. He obviously doesn't grasp a bloody thing but talks.

What did the late great Hounddog Taylor once say? "Tell them I couldn't play shit, but man, could I make it sound good."

[sayhitojesus4me]

I felt it.

[messiahsez]

@sayhitojesus4me Oh yeah!!! Mission accomplished. Thanks. Keep doing it.

[windsofplague777]

Hes proly lookin at porn

[mrozzy1231]

haha you got to pluck it, fuck it, make love to it haha!

[messiahsez]

@mrozzy1231 Yes. Messiahsez sez bad werds. But, to really play the blues you gotta feel it. The deeper you feel it the better it sounds. I think. But what do I know.  Thanks yo. Pluck on.

[Grindpad666]

dzjeee, what a sucky performance. wearing a hat and growing a beard does not make you a blueshero.

this really sucked. learn to play man

[messiahsez]

@Grindpad666 Thanks for sharing. You are correct son. I know you are angry about he grounding but I just can't allow that sort of perversion in our house. Your mother cannot tolerate it. Thanks for posting. You'll feel better soon.

[messiahsez]

@Grindpad666 Thank you yo.

[ApprovedByMonkeys]

That is some sweet playing, I love the feel and love you have for it. As you were playing, I kept hearing "John Henry" in there, was that intentional? ;)

[kmapictures]

What kind of tuneing is this??

[messiahsez]

@kmapictures Open E Yo. Could also be done the same way in Open D. Some say whenever I play it is the key of Crazy.

[kmapictures]

Thank you man! I love your videos, you are my new teacher! :) Peace Y

[messiahsez]

@kmapictures Thanks to you. Is there anything specific you would like to learn? Just ask. If I can I will.

[guitardude671]

@kmapictures that was a pretty silly question it says what tuning in the title

[kmapictures]

@guitardude671 Ok, i know it, but i was curious to for example: E-B-E-G#-B-E exactly. But google is my friend.

[messiahsez]

@kmapictures My theory is that God will be spelled Google in 1,000 years. The source of all that is.

[messiahsez]

@guitardude671 I knew that but love you anyhow.

[guitardude671]

good anyone look more blues nice job

[messiahsez]

@guitardude671 Thanks yo. I may have mental problems but I am working through them.

[BRYONMU]

i wonder how this guy got in to that persons house<i'd steer clear of the toothbrush<you gotta remember!

[aforcevids]

Beautiful sound and beautiful guitar.

[falloversteve]

almost open E flat blues

[messiahsez]

@falloversteve Hmmm. Tuning is not my strong smoot. Spontaneity rules my existence.

[Amberosescott]

Yeaaaaaaah felt I deep and hard

[messiahsez]

@Amberosescott Takin on and over the world with that shit yo. thanks. Spread that feelin.

[Amberosescott]

I felt it

[messiahsez]

@Amberosescott Oh yeah. Deep down inside.

[vzsozs]

are you drunk??? :DDD

[messiahsez]

@vzsozs Nope. Mentally unstable.

[BLU3Fi5H]

...there's something very creepy about this video....maybe it's just the ending that threw me off....or possibly the beginning....but love the look of the guitar hehe.

[messiahsez]

@BLU3Fi5H Hmmm. Never heard creepy before. Did you look at any others I made? I think crazy.

[babylonhotelrock]

OMG santa plays guitar O_o otherwise, nice playing :)

[illgiveitashot]

Come'on man...you got the look and the growl but that is less than sub-par playing. But keep on rocking just the same. Are you buzzing cause you really seem like you ARE "feeling it"....really. BTW you do know there is some frets between that 12th and the first three right? OH NO WAIT!...WTF is up witht the cat at the eand...this just got too weird.

[messiahsez]

@illgiveitashot Less than sub par comment yo. 

[illgiveitashot]

Come'on man...you got the look and the growl but that is less than sub-par playing. But keep on rocking just the same. Are you buzzing cause you really seem like you ARE "feeling it"....really. BTW you do know there is some frets between that 12th and the first three right?

[messiahsez]

@illgiveitashot Really?  I will look.

[MrWhiteHunter]

Awsome!



[messiahsez]

@MrWhiteHunter Thanks so much. 

[MrWhiteHunter]

@messiahsez You know you got soul man......,i'll be able to play this around a campfire with ease and hopefully with my long neck banjo,now i just need your deep tone voice and crazy lyrics.Lol.

[messiahsez]

@MrWhiteHunter Voice I can't help you. Crazy lyrics... Just be crazy. Thanks yo.

[GoodbarUK]

Do us all a favor mate, give up the beard and all this "Feel It" bollocks - PLEASE!!

[messiahsez]

@GoodbarUK Out of my control. I am sorry. Out of my control. If I gave up the feel it I would go full Buddha and disappear. My wife would be pissed. What is bollocks?

[GoodbarUK]

@messiahsez Sorry this was the first Video of yours I'd seen, I gave you an instant reaction. I thought 'what the f*ck' is all this 'Feel It' Bollocks he keeps saying? By the way Bollocks is an £nglish term, bollocks is slang for testicles, so whilst you might say 'what's all this crap' we £nglish might say 'what's all this bollocks' - Anyway, I've since seen other Videos of yours and I now think you're ok and a mean guitar player, so sorry about all the Bollocks Man! stay cool :o)

[cuntymctwatification]

Ya know, up until four minutes and fifty three seconds ago I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy my first resonator and begin to learn the ways of the master bluesmen of old, but needless to say, I am ready to dive headfirst into the soul filled world of what music was truly intended to be.

[messiahsez]

@cuntymctwatification How cool.

[yuccasinger2]

I feel it, I feel it...

[messiahsez]

@yuccasinger2 Yeah baby!!! Never stop!!

[temper001]

Somebody's a man who knows women.

Catz pajamas man, on the road, top of the hoosegow, man.

Fun times. Keep up the good work, amigo!

[MultiChickenwang]

[messiahsez]

@MultiChickenwang Oh shit, don't encourage me. But, sincerely, thanks. It means a lot to me. I make up the lyrics as I go.

[temper001]

@messiahsez Well if it means a lot to you, what can I get for .63 cents?

What can I get for .63 cents?

Seriously, I think you be my friend already. Where you iz?

So to speak, and pardoning the vernacular, as it were...

[messiahsez]

@temper001 I iz in new york yo.

[xxshockvaluexx]

@xxshockvaluexx Yes, of course!

[Playdead117]

[messiahsez]

@Playdead117 I am so happy that you felt it. That is its purpose. Bare fingers yes. For many years. Thanks so much.

[ajeagle08]

Old Manderson you are the best

[messiahsez]

@ajeagle08 Thanks yo.

[AndriusMisevicius]

How long do you play with guitars and other string instruments?

[messiahsez]

@AndriusMisevicius I have been playing guitar since 1962 when I was 12. I am Just learning slide but I use the techniques that I already know with the slide playing.
