One day I will get an E-mail saying " Dear Barney, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton would like you to come jam. They may bring friends." That will be the one and only day in my life when I would shit my pants.
saw Johnny Winter about a year or so ago. Holy crap what a legend! Too bad his health isn't great.. Anyways this stuff is for guitar people out there! Enjoy
I love watching these things from time to time... you can really hear the difference between a real blues artist and the others there is nuance a real soul that is in blues that guys like John Mayer and even Clapton will just never have... Johnny Winter got it listen to the album King Bee from Muddy Waters. and yeah Jimmie Vaughn got it too even more than his brother did... everybody else is rockers
@xarkos Well it is a strat... but its a Fender strat. However, I'm glad you made me look more closely because I only realized now nearly all of them have strats.... must be the "preferred guitar of the blues"
@ZoSo8786 Well all strats are Fenders, the question is more one of production year. Squier is the production company that's been churning out Fender's strats since '82. That said there's a good chance they'd be using guitars they've owned longer than that, and the video doesn't show a good enough shot of the guitar heads to read if it has both the Squier and Fender names or just Fender.
@ZoSo8786 And yeah, strats are generally pretty heavily favored in blues rock, especially from that era. Les Paul was also a huge rock guitar at that time and then not long after SGs and to a much lesser extent telecasters. These days though it seems SGs usually dominate the scene.
@ZoSo8786 Depends on your type of blues. "texas" style ala SRV single coils are the only way to go - BB, ALbert King, Freddie King (that more southern swampy style) however used guitars with humbuckers - 335s, Flying V, etc. Horses for courses.
@vdeferens I was referencing everyone in this video is playing fender strats, not squire strats. Anyways, "southern swampy blues" is actually called delta blues and the "Kings" play more of a Chicago blues... kind of like this song. Granted this is originally a Robert Johnson, delta blues song, but this rendition has the Chicago blues feel which I think came about around 30 years later.
@ZoSo8786 I second that!!! That'd be like playing baseball with a stick instead of a bat. You can pretend he plays a squier or you you can pretend your squier is a strat but the difference is night and day.
Now this is how it should always be done. Yeah baby "Sweet Home Chicago" Actually I don't care for the Windy City but I do love some hot bad ass blues.
@Eddu13 john mayer doesn't suck. he's just different. he's obviously younger and was exposed to different styles of playing than the rest of them when he was learning which would've caused him to learn a different style of the blues. his style is easily distinguishable among the rest of them, be that a good thing or not is your opinion, but you can't make fun of him for his age. I personally like his style
@gnrfanatic141414 Dude I don't care if you like John suck or not, He just sucks, He has nothing to show, He is just another guy on the block, the world will live just fine without his shitty music. Being a GNR fan you should've know what better music is, but if you don't even play guitar nor know about it, I can't say much. Fender is no better than Gibson, is just for a different style of playing.
Personally, it doesn't matter who originally wrote this song. The first recording was by Robert Johnson in 1936, and his music has inspired scores of musicians over the last 75 years. Thank you for this excellent tribute to a classic Delta blues artist...

@UnceBobTouchedMe no self-respecting blues guitarist would ever be caught playing a gibson on a song like this. gibson's just don't have good tone quality when it comes to playing the blues
@gnrfanatic141414 but man..what about BB King? he plays gibson..and its tone is orgasmic...fender are awesome guitars for playing the blues but..you can't say that they are better than gibson..they both have good qualities for playin the blues
@UnceBobTouchedMe b.b. king plays an jazz hollowbody, which could be an exception. but B.B. king also doesn't usually play chicago style blues. he's more jazz. i couldn't see anybody playing a gibson for this style
@UnceBobTouchedMe that's not what i meant. i meant that his blues playing has a more jazzy style to it. he's obviously blues or we would not be having this conversation
@UnceBobTouchedMe thank you. guitar's not my best though. i'm much better at piano. i actually didn't those videos were that great. what about you? do you play?
@gnrfanatic141414 you are the keyboard player in your videos? or the guitarist? btw i play guitar too, but a little more advanced :) i play jazz/blues now but next year i will study jazz guitar in a university. you can check out my channel, there is a cover of Howlin' Wolf's - Smokestack Lightning by me and my band a few years ago :)
@UnceBobTouchedMe i played all the instruments on them but i used midi sounds for everything except guitar so i could edit them if i missed a note or something like that. My cover of my redeemer lives was mainly to see how well i could play it in one take
@warprodigis john mayer's actually a really good blues guitarist, he just plays crap music for a living. look up eric clapton john mayer crossroads. hes good when he plays real music
Where is BB king?
