I just cant seem to ... ( 2 weeks ago by SKareKrohX)

I just cant seem to find a taste for the blues. I recognize them as great musicians... but I just can't seem to find any blues I actually enjoy listening to.
=(

I felt the same way ... ( 2 weeks ago by jamianm)

I felt the same way about Jazz. Once I stopped pursuing trying to listen to the music and stopped caring about the mystique that Jazz has (how it's amazing and it's pure blah blah) then I enjoyed it. Some Jazz I can't get into, but when I heard Thelonious Monk I knew I found the kind I enjoy most ;) Goodluck

Aw, man, this vid ... ( 2 weeks ago by jamianm)

Aw, man, this vid is missing the icing on the cake! Son wipes his forehead and stands up and places his guitar next to his chair. He does it so gently and carefully. It's almost like no ones watching it. It's actually beautiful

To me this is near perfect. The most soulful music I have ever heard.

that's such a great riff. It's good to see that this stuff is being preserved so later generations like myself can explore it.

Well said, just cause some bands are Blues or Jazz, don't make it likeable, some come with time and you'll know what you like!

Jimi Page so lifted this riff. Can't remember the zep song but it's a clean burn.

Magnificent!!! Just beautiful. Thanks for posting.

pretty familiar w/ Jimmy Page's work -- (Jimi is the one guitarist who played better)
and I don't recall his lifting this rif.

idiots. stop talking about 'lifting' riffs?

Yeah. Half the ... ( 1 week ago by fishman017)

Yeah. Half the bands in Rock have used this riff. Such bands aren't 'lifting' the riff, they are paying respect to the original artist. This and several other old delta blues songs have almost become public domain. This song is an institution of its own.

This thing gave me the chills! God bless whoever put this on U-toob.

Oh, Jimi is the only one?

jimmy page uses a very similar riff in in my time of dying. but even jimmy said he lifted alot of old blue riffs. but the speed and the cleaness he plays them at makes it different. i just wish they had better sound equiment back then so you could hear better what this dude is playing.

reply to dweeb: ... ( 6 days ago by francescaemc2)

reply to dweeb: Yeah, Jimi Hendrix in the context of modern guitarists. Just said Page, did not rip off this riff as far as I know. As for great guitarists, we just heard one. My personal favorite is Robert Johnson.
Also Blind Wille McTell. This was just in context. It's not an argument.

a masterpiece. Thanks Jack White for keeping this alive.
Son House lives.

Thanks so much. His singing and playing are extraordinary. It's amazing what presence and power he has up on a stage by himself. Meanwhile, so many rock bands depend on painful, ugly volume to make an impact.
