  • Does anyone know the pickup that he is using ?

  • here's a quote from john that answers your question:

    "For slide, I use a 1934 National Steel Duolian with a $50 Barcus Berry pickup superglued to the top. I have another National that I tune to open Gb, and one to open Db. I also have a solidbody National Resophonic, which has a resonator cone that goes through from front to back with a Barcus Berry and a Danelectro pickup on it. My strings are D'Addario, generally a .13 for top E, then .16, 1 .24 wound G, a .32, .442 and a .52 bottom E."

  • Humbucker pick up?

  • Very nice.

    Oh, he gives a great description of the blues. We are fortunate to have video

    footage of John Campbell.

    thans to my friend for sharing.

    thank you kiwibluesman for posting.

    Excellent

  • John Cambell was amazing, he will be missed, RIP John. One Believer is a awesome CD. He also had a glass eye, witch is pretty wicked and had wicked awesome sounding guitars, the 1934 steel guitar, and the Gibson acoustic with the stratocaster pick- up in it, it dosent even sound like a acoustic guitar, still you got to love that sound.

  • Kia Ora Kiwi Bluesman,

    Big thanks for the info. I am playing a Republic Tricone and am getting into John Campbell because of your postings. Where can I get any DVDs of him ?

  • I like the final comment when there was "no choice"

    Very Cool

  • John Campbell, Rory Gallagher, Rainer Ptacek. Sadly missed by all who love the blues. The three greatest white blues guitarist in history - all three died way too soon. But now they're up above us, jamming away together in heaven. I would pay anything to see that gig!!! Anything at all. Rest in peace all three of you. You were truly great.

  • The most amazing blues player to have ever lived, he died way too young. R.I.P.Amazing.
