JOHN CAMPBELL - 1934 National Steel Guitar

Damn, but that guitar must have some serious mojo, if it really is true that Lightnin' played it.
There really is something special about those old Nationals, a little extra that no other guitar even approaches.

simply great

NEVER heard of Lightnin' Hopkins playing a National....and no recorded evidence.

have you spoken to hopkins family? or ever speak to rocky hill that played lightnins national at his funeral at the request of hopkins family?...
not everything is black and white my friend.
enjoy the music.

what a awesome sound!

RIP John

You got-it Bro!! thats right!! Loved his racing too!

even if those didnt hear of him, it was obvious he payed his dues and had his Voodoo on! ; )

RIP John, gone just when it was your time, indeed! Truly missed

Tx for sharing

It's hard to watch this and all John's videos and not feel terribly sad that he left the world too soon, along with Rory, and Rainer. But their music lives on for all time.

do some research...
this guitar was lightnins personal guitar... rocky hill played amazing grace on it at lightnins funeral.
... haven't heard lightnin play steel/slide? you haven't listened to all the lightnin out there...
'cracker' indeed.... get a life you douchebag
