Booker White - Aberdeen Mississippi Blues HIFI

[MLDfrom63]

They don't make men like Bukka White anymore. Every time I've listened to this cut, the hair on the back of my neck stands up, but to watch him do it takes it to a completely different level - "otherworldly" is the only word to describe it.

[eiwaz]

Dayummm

[jekk23]

Sweet Sacred... this is absolutely incredible

[treetoptop]

I always love to listen to and see Bukka. Look at the size of those hands, he would KO Foreman! : )

[luizrocks4]

this' a rare clip



[Wonka275]

I friggin love when Bukka slaps the guitar and gets that chicka-chicka sound. It's so great.

[mick87871]

This went straight on my legends play list fuckin awwwwwsome.....

[66guitaROB]

wonderful.................

[DESMODEY]

oh fuck It's a musical orgasm for me ( sorry guys)

[jas0720]

Forget rock or rap this is great

[kickzo]

He makes it look so easy.

[Isrealit360]

Love!

[bigfasttalleddie]

It is not a guitar, it is a dobro. A wonderful sound.

[olifantgamer]

@bigfasttalleddie dobro, national guitar, who cares, it IS a guitar and it kicks ass

[mikeybrod]

@bigfasttalleddie Its a guitar champ, a dobro guitar. Or a resonator, otherwise known as a guitar.

[slowmotionbro]

blues>anything done today

[slowmotionbro]

get that little wayne shit outta here.

[999manman]

Dobro as a percussion instrument! Awesome!

[Julio16190]

oh man!

[MrCravendish]

Wish i could find more of this, when was this filmed?

[Trendmunger]

I love this.

[krustywazoo222]

The man is a beast on guitar.

[NinjaRodent]

God damn that thing he does is just crazy!

[stavrosxakis]

anyone knows whats the tunin for this song??

[TheRecyclist]

@stavrosxakis open D (DADF#AD)

[pccrp]

@stavrosxakis it's actually open E (EBEG#EB)

[halfpipefreak]

beautiful dobro guitar

[mielazul]

I love it when guitarists bust out little drum rolls on their guitar. This is great, thanks for posting.

Fans of good raw slide blues might like "Rosetta West - Underground."

[MrFlavum]

Its a shame we have to even acknowledge little waynes existence on this page.

[JohnGSchuur]

you better not mess with him, wicked it is.

[JohnGSchuur]

boxing his guitar! he can sure hit a pretty note

[HufferBlues]

@JohnGSchuur hellyeah never seen anyone do that before it sounded wicked :)



[TheBranquignol]

Open D, open G or other ? Who knows ?

[pjac317]

I hear some Zeppelin here .....

[steven8807]

@pjac317 No--you hear Booker White.

[crisscorreag]

@pjac317 NO! You hear some of Bukka White IN Zeppelin. Old Delta Blues inspired Zeppelin an co. Not saying that Zep isn't fuckin great, cause they are.

[deewilki]

who the fuck is lil wayne and the are 49 nobjockies

[sheisnotamystery]

isnt it simply amazing how he only needs ONE guitar and ONE voice to produce such a huge sound?

i mean, its so pure ... well i guess thats the blues...

[ehki]

@sheisnotamystery That shows A LOT of experience.

[GreenRiver72]

Whenabouts was this from? ...Awesome

[SquiSac01]

the way he slaps that ass haha

[magyar1963]

TRUE ORIGINALITY ! THE WAY IT SHOULD BE ! TAKE A SONG, AND MAKE IT...YOURS ! OWN THE BLOODY THING ! WOW !

[streetcornerjames]

I love how he breaks down that rhythm hittin back and forth on the body

[alejandrosuckmy]

I'm 13, and I'm HAPPY that I was born this generation, 'cause I don't have to search far and wide for a record, I just look for it here and I can listen to it the times I want, also, blues makes me and every kid different from commercial listeners suckas', and that, THAT is cool...

[streetcornerjames]

@alejandrosuckmy You are a smart young man

[jfj619]

Just saw this for the first time. Wow. Beautiful, pure music.

[tubegucker1]

sounds like a big inspiration of Bob Brozman

[osurmadansic]

mekan blues baby

[osurmadansic]

baba yorgunnnn

[TheTlaxica]

Bukka White

[mark1968]

The man was simply a legend.

[krylon2009]

Gotta love this music. !

[kmikl]

National Steel always sounds so grand.

[gmassenzio]

[bobbycamp101]

Black Frankenstein plays the blues

[sawyerbobby]

Guitar+Man=Music ---- Priceless.

[melchizedekism]

Who are these dicks who dislike this! Its FANTASTIC!

[Efenderkid]

This video is priceless, only someone who really lived the blues can tell it !

[MrGranousty]

Newbies blues guitar players won't sleep for a while !

[papakilatube]

Jesus Christ that double-time slapping thing he does is BEAST!

[natedogg431]

I looked up the lyrics and still cant understand a word he is saying. Don 't get me wrong it's great but.........

[jasonu95]

what tuning is he using??

[tom27j]

@jasonu95 i am very sure its open E. 

[8trackcp]

@jasonu95 its open d

[banjochris]

@8trackcp @tom27j It's actually open E minor. EBEGBE.

[dessary24]

.....and everybody thought Andy McKee was an original.

[sferaBC]

@dessary24 that's very true

[oiljass]

Thanks very much, didn't even know this existed.

[Bossano2450]

Booker doesn't stop playing. The video stops. Booker can keep this up for decades.

[taurtue]

@Bossano2450 Yeah, too bad he wasn't immortal. He and Lightnin Hopkins would have deserved to own the philosopher's stone

[cottageorgan]

@taurtue Love the Lightin sooo much. Both brilliant musicians, Timeless, this from a pale face Northern Irish man...Cheers, A.

[Adrielist]

FICA COM DEUS AMIGO!

[BlackLabelBob]

Fucking awesome

[MrRustyTomBone]

i wonder if this is where Bob Log III gets his guitar playing style from... it would make sense.

[anonymous812]

You know its a classic cause nobodys buying anyone elses gasoline these days

[LeOnLiCaStA]

da begining of modern heavy metal :p

[NewMathWiz]

Awesome. They don't make them like this anymore.

[TimothyBossano]

Does anyone know when this is recorded?

[RileyRampant]

@TimothyBossano - my guess would be around '64 or so. he was sort of re-discovered during the british blues revival

[TheKito1001]

that's the real blues....

[pepehorhae]

is this booker T's father?

[steven8807]

@pepehorhae BB King's older cousin.

[voodoochild53]

This is a badass musician... it is a shame people this days think lil wayne is actually a musician....

[patobrun]

@voodoochild53 lil wayne is a musician. he uses his VOICE and RHYTHM as a means to express his creativity and music. the FIRST goddam HUMAN instruments were the VOICE and our RHYTHM. damn. wake the fuck up a little and you may live to see a spiritual life afore you get bought.

[olifantgamer]

@patobrun lil wayne sucks man

[patobrun]

@olifantgamer i bet you know all about sucking. i cannot take your word that lil wayne sucks. i know he doesnt. i understand he is successful at using his voice, rhythm and beats to put across those vibrations we all enjoy. i know what im talking about, i am a storyteller. i looked at yer page, you dont do nothing cept pass others shit on. booya.

[HeynesProductions]

@patobrun

Lol wayne sucks tho. His rhymes are shitty and all he raps about is money and tittayyys. No soul at all in that music.

And I don't post everything I do on my channel, so u can't use that against me. "BOOYAH"

[olifantgamer]

@patobrun I'm not very impressed by your shallow stories son, i didn't even know what shallow meant untill I read your comment, anyway, i don't care if you like lil wayne, actually I don't quite know who that is, I just know it's another sucky pop artist (in my opinion that is), and I think many people here agree with me

[patobrun]

@olifantgamer who said i like lil wayne? i didnt. you dont pay attention very well. i think this motherfucker can kick lil waynes ass all over the place even tho bukkha been dead for long long time. im just saying, lil wayne is also a musician, he uses voice and rhythm like this man does, and shit, you jealous of a ghetto kid who made it, big.

[olifantgamer]

@patobrun you didn't pay quite the attention yourself kid, I said that I didn't even knew who lil wayne was and you call me jealous, how the hell is than possible, and by the way, I said i didn't care IF you liked lil wayne so you don't even have to tell me wether you like him or not. It's not that i hate you now but that were two things i just wanted to mention.

[jimihendrix1975]

@voodoochild53 u r soooooooooooo right man!!!!

[mrcapri73]

i get blue everytime i go to aberdeen mississippi! lol

[TheMachoRock]

Un vero figo!!!

[hahayouarefunny]

47 people need to work on a chain gang

[edwardmashberg1]

Bukka plays the piano real fine too. I love how he gets so much percussion out of that kickass resonator. if you want to see a real butt-whomping blues wildcat check out Big Joe Williams - the only blues man in history to master a 9-string guitar!!

[wonershmountain]

What a brilliant musician ! This makes you wanna get up and move !

[JJKaeshagen]

Wow Bukka kicks Son House's ass. Plays just as hard but with unbelievable precision.

[TheToocold]

i went to the crossroads like robert johnson, but the devil took MY johnson in payment. i got the story wrong but now i am a mother on guitar! not a fair deal, i guess. then again, who cares?

[DrWGONZALEZ]

[donquicke]

Booker and Son just totally amaze me!

[johanneskersthold]

This guy can Play !!!

[vantun67]

Onde foi parar esta Guitarra??

[soulimp]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! hijoderemilputa! ufff, quiero tocar blues asi y estar muerto hace rato!!

[19bluesman87]

to play like this is quiet easy, the problem is the feel...

[wag9669]

If rock n roll was a child this would be it's first steps or first words. now that rock n roll is a teenager I still love it I just don't like it sometimes but i will always love the first steps and first words..

[Videodude1939]

Saludos desde Argentina!

[Playbackmusiconline]

BURN MTV DOWN

[shantidude]

It gives me hope for the internet and the world in general that this video has been viewed more than a million times.

[jonahtran1]

@shantidude Not to bring your hopes down, but Justin Beiber has gotten over 3 million and counting. Not that any of that matters. Each one of these views means more than any number of Beiber's views.

[taman2306]

@shantidude It's a pity that at least a million of those views were me.

[BrunoEspo]

@shantidude well fucking said brotha!

[iF3nd3r]

I'm 15 and i know him omg XD

[HellEachWay]

Even if you sold your dick for $20 an inch, he wouldn't teach you how to play for only ten bucks

[johnnyboy9034]

I wish I was black. :(

[kamikazeVX]

@johnnyboy9034 you wish you were black back then

[JboCapone]

Spanking that motherfucker!

[BukkakeNation]

Bukkake white

[honkydudeman]

which page in bert weedons "play in a day"book was this style on ???i musta missed it lol

[davesk2]

I believe the guitar tuning is Cross-note E Minor:  E-B-E-G-B-E

[distortion896]

@davesk2 i'm pretty sure booker usually played in open D. I've been able to play both this and poor boy in D

[davesk2]

@distortion896 If you can get the same tonality in open D major, I'm not going to contradict you. I could understand you achieving this in open D minor (DADFAD) which is obviously one full tone lower than the open E minor tuning I proposed. The recording I have definitely has a minor sound. Maybe my ears need to retuned!

[davesk2]

Respond to this video... That last sentence should read " Maybe my ears need to be retuned." A similar comment also applies to my one fingered typing.

[wag9669]

this makes me dance and i can't dance.

[gurumagoo]

It's amazing how similar old blue grass, blues, and old time country are. They are considered different, but you could play them interchangeably on the radio and most people wouldn't even notice. They all got soul. Something sadly missing from modern music. And all those people are almost gone. The greats are already gone. Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, and so many others are gone forever and we'll never see their like again. Those who come after are not equal to those came before. Truly sad.

[flyinfingers1]

Useless factoid of the day: Bukka White was B.B.King's cousin and is credited with B.B. perfecting the vibrato technique. According to Mr. King he couldn't get the hang of using the slide.

[coyotito56ace]

skill

[starmanskye]

WoW -- Bloody Hell OutSTANDING ....

Man that's just GREAT!

[yaciuk1]

2:44 is a scene from Total Recall

[brianpage100]

Some parts sound like Peter Green's "Showbiz Blues"

[voodoochild53]

This ain't no nigga playing guitar, This is a MAN PLAYING THE BLUES!

[EamonnMurphy00]

This video makes me giggle like an 11 year old girl seeing her first penis in Sex Ed.

So incredible.

[um22w22]

Been looking for this forever!!

It's featured in the movie "life" but no mention of it in the sound track. Not fair!!!

Amazing! Thanks for the upload.

[picklesooz]

malmsteen paaah!!! Robert Johnson is and always will be king and Jimi Hendrix a close second,

[blobbym]

@picklesooz you really think johnson is better than hendrix? well...id have it the other way round personally

[peterchanson77]

Songs like this is why we can say Blues and Jazz started it all!!!!!!

[Neanderthal78]

It sends shivers down my spine how great Bukka is.

[MauiRedList]

from 152 to 156 is rad 

[computer07]

That is bad to the fucking bone man... Hardcore omg! dudes got some deep roots, that's something we don't know SHit about...

[daschr1]

i like the part where he plays guitar and sings

[sawllllllllll595699]

هههههههه



[JohnnyBoy2695]

I have no clue what he singing about but I fucking love it !!!!!!!!!!!

[ripclaw23]

@JohnnyBoy2695 he's saying that he stopped in Aberdeen,Miss. on his way to New Orleans and there was all kinda women he'd never seen and he woulda stayed there but the men didn't want him around . Probably cause he was eyein' their women...ha ha!love it!!!

[ripclaw23]

@JohnnyBoy2695

[deewilki]

to the 47 fuck wit morons go piss up a rope you fuck wits , go listen to elton shity john you dislike due to a lake of ability to do what he does .......fucking plebs

[Juniorhooker]

[bestabrivell1]

Less is ALWAYS more

[Filotimos]

What the f-u-c-k! What genius!

[R0b1zzle137]

Can somebody tell me what tuning this is? Im assuming its Open tuning but does anybody know exactly what key?

[Artyfartyify]

@R0b1zzle137 open G or D ?

[deewilki]

@R0b1zzle137 its booker tuning

[R0b1zzle137]

Can somebody tell me what tuning this is? Im assuming its Open tuning but does anybody know exactly what key?

[rfw45]

Watching the comments. Sometimes it's the simple things that make it all so powerful. I remember hearing an interview with Clapton and he made mention of that. It's sooo true.

[jacksondemarre]

this sounds faster than the origional recording of it

[CanadianSillyGoose]

I was reading BB kings biography and BB said that Bukka was his uncle. Awesome historical fact for you.

[R0b1zzle137]

@CanadianSillyGoose I heard some where that he was his cousin. Maybe your wrong, maybe your right, I'm no expert on the blues family tree.

[CanadianSillyGoose]

@R0b1zzle137 No. They just called him "cousin". It was a meaningless prefix but yeah Bukka was BB's moms brother. Read his Biography that just came out, its really good!

[AstroAnt]

Thank-you world



[andysczn]

i here ya brother...this heres some true rockn...we owe alot of debt to the brown folks of the beautiful south,...they truely enriched our culture....now we know where cool comes from...

[shredabilly13]

I thought it was BUkkha not booker.
