Crossroads movie blues guitar clip 1

This is opening guitar part is a depiction of Robert Johnson who is perhaps the most notorious Bluesman in history. The song is "The Crossroads", one of 29 compositions, and one of 42 known recordings (figures from Wikipedia) I love the timing and feel between the guitar and vocals. I think his guitar work is underrated, sing along guitar playing tends to be simplistic/economical, but I think it is strong and evocative, a truely inspiring work of art.

how the fuck could eric clapton influence this when he wasn't even a-fucking-live.....and even if he was alive he would be a baby

I started playing guitar because of this film !!.

As for saying Steve Vai losing !, Its a film mate.

Ry Cooder, and Arlen Roth had huge inputs to this film.

I believe the final encounter, was cut short. Due to possibly film time.

There are some talented musicians there behind the scenes.

@sauliusdr Not sure if you got an answer to your question, but the guy who played the songs is Ry Cooder. I believe the soundtrack for this film was all done by him.

Who re-played this song for the movie? Cause sound quality of the original R.Johnson version is very poor. Or maybe it was re-mastered? Where can I get that good quality version?

@TXejas19 The Man is Pure Legend.. If i did the film itd be a full on tribute to him and the true development of the Birth in Delta Blues..

[TXejas19]

@wisesatyr72 they have but in my opinion they're all worthless, alot of his life is a mystery clouded by assumptions, myths, and intrigue.....some of which might be true. *gasp* it would be awsome if you did some research and made a production/film :D DO IT DO IT DO IT!

Talk to anyone who knows ANYTHING abkut music and they'll tell you how much of an influence the Blues was o Rock & Rol, Zeppelin, Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Eric Bourdon & the Animals just to name a few, all influenced by the blues. About the only thing that Clapton MAY have done for the blues was bring it to a wider audience
