Is it bizarre that I love the fact that he actually only uses his Strat???? I'm a little exhausted of watch all the great youtube players with a bunch of really expensive guitars beside them...and they left the sensation that everyone needs 10 super guitars just from the very beginning. An image of "opulence"? Not critizicing those Who can, those Who loves guitars and it's his passion. Just saying that seeing a great guitar player with the same good guitar constantly, lefts a healthy message to the crowd.

I agree with you. It's all very overwhelming when you think you have to have thousands of dollars worth of equipment to make good music. The truth is, you make good music by mastering your instrument and then you build from there. Still on step one here.

One scotch, one bourbon and one beer Boom Boom, love that version with Jimmy Lee Vaughan, just awesome; those raunchy guitars obviously, but also those organs simmering, wow!, and then there's the drums.. ahh those drums really hit it right... a Haw Haw Haw It's grown to be my favourite blues song, Even though i am a huge fan of Jimmy's brother, for me this version is thé epitome It also inspired ZZ-TOP for their best song La Grange, a Haw Haw Haw

John Lee Hooker is one of my gods. No one is as funky as John Lee. He's an interesting man who recorded under many names, often at the same time to get around contracts. He would make songs up on the spot in the studio (mostly be stealing words to other songs). Love John Lee Hooker.

A JOHN LEE TALL TALE? You decide. A friend got a call to sit in for 3 gigs on bass with Booker T & the MG's in St Louis in '68. A Double bill with John Lee. He said John Lee had a shoe with a board bolted to it and he put it on just before he went on.. Sat down and stomped it hard. He also added that it cost him more to get from KC to St Louie, & stay for a nite than he made. He swore it was true. Merry Christmas and a Happy Eggnog Year!

His music is fresher than anything being released today. It has so much attitude and personality. It's raw, brutally honest, sexy and fun. Everyone should at least have a decent greatest hits album of his. His songs 'This is Hip' and 'Boogie Chillin' are possibly 2 of the coolest songs ever recorded.

Terrific video GP! I was lucky enough to have seen him at a small café in New Haven, CT way back when. Sat about five feet from him for the entire set! Best part was the I got to shake his hand & hand him sign an album that I had brought with me. Interesting fact, he did not know how to write (as in a signature) and was only able to crudely print his name which was still hard to read. Anyway, one of the greatest Blues men of all time! Happy Holidays to you & your family. Be well & stay safe.....👍👍🎸🎸😉😉

Johnny Lee changed things though with that voice and perfectly paired playing, amazing tone. You can feel the emotion and grit from the very first note in all of his music.

I remember in 80’s when John Lee Hookers Grammy winning album The Healer came out. I was mesmerized by the songs, the raw power you described and the blues that poured into my head! The songs featured other artists like Bonnie Raitt and others. It made every song have a different feel, shared vocals with Hookers low gravelly voice against the other artists unique vocal ranges. Still one of my all time favorite albums. After this I bought every Hooker album I could find. I have been trying for over 20 years to learn his songs and play them with exactly what you explore here. I really like your detailed dives into these classic songs and artists. Can you do JJ Cale Don’t Go To Strangers? Or Marcus Kings Where I’m Headed? Thank you for all your lessons/dives into the details!!

Guitar Pilgram dude, just found your space. I dig what you're doing and need to explore. Richard Thompson is favorite guitarist and writer. I read him describe that back in the day when he was starting with Fairport Convention they kind of realized that they weren't going to do blues as good as the American blues players so he of takes off tracing the roots of his British Scottish, influenced by Sufism, I'm sure you're aware of him.with this style that's that's his own and is incredible. great song writer too, and after 30 + years on he still writing relevant 'protest' /poetic lyrics. I haven't been on your site long enough to check to see 8f youve slready covered him, 8 will. but I love to watch you explain music cool show so anyway if you want to could you please do a couple segments on Richard Thompson. much grass organic jeff
