All you young guitarists take heed! This is how it's done. Hopkins and other greats like Segovia are true guitar players Yo Yo Ma is among the greats, too at the cello. Streisand is great at her craft. These are the greats of music. I saw Pinetop Perkins here in Austin, Texas just before his death and even talked to him I asked him what made all you great blues guys so great. He said three things. Whiskey, cigarettes and pussy. Not necessarily in that order! Blew me away!
OMG Wow. On my journey to find the source of the notes and style which has formed the greater part of my life and love,...I finally found it. Tunes 2 AND 3 of this 3 song treasure hit me like the first time I ever heard the blues; from artists like Clapton and Keith Richards and Jimi. I never understood it all, the deeper meaning of it all till THIS day , watching this amazing bluesman play his trade. Thanks for this gift Mr. Hopkins and @Psychoabuela. Humbled deeply.
Beautiful old bluesman - they are the best. Look at those long, long fingers work that guitar so effortlessly. Amazing skill. The one dislike has got no soul and his mojo is broken - get some rhythm in your soul, deadbeat.
@Bloody0Martyr Yay! Fair fucking play dude. Its lovely to see talent loved and appreciated!
