Thanks brother
5:14 Can anyone give me tabs of the riff he does there?
I really like that lesson I heard that same story who is to say if it’s true or not lol
1:11 thanks, but thats horseshit.
When I first started listening my first reaction was "what a shitty guitar" but it's perfect!! Reminds me of the $10 Stella Acoustic guitar my mother bought me in the early 70s. The action sucked but the sound is vintage blues. I wish I didn't "Pete" the guitar. Great lesson!!!
When he disappeared a while from some houses Plantation he was working with Zimmerman a graveyard caretaker about a year and a half who is also a guitar player who helped him put together the missing links and his influence from Son House Drinking Preacher FACT… When you listen to the playing of son house you can see that he was Robert Johnson's primary and dominant influence fact… No Devil at the Crossroads unfortunately bulshit flies faster than Truth and Facts…
loved the part where you talked about nothing for 3 minutes
I always thought that if any decent old guitar could talk it probably would say, I was never played, thank you for dusting me off.
Too much talk. Give the lesson. The lesson portion of your presentation is great!
Nice video!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Love that ol’ honky-tonk parlor geetah…
he is the zeus of music. so father of the blues? it make sense
I’ve learnt more from that 8,5min video than from 4 part tutorial elsewhere, thank you so much

Nice lesson, but here was blues before Robert Johnson, (like there was electric guitar before Hendrix) and the whole "the church banned this interval" thing is just a myth with no base in reality.
But still thanks for the licks 🙂
And the guitar is a stunner
I think I hate the blues
Well, the "devil's tone story" is an urban myth …
Thank you for remembering Robert and for trying to teach people… makes me have hope for the future!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️????????????????????????????????????????????
Does that mean raining blood uses the devil's interval
????16th century music for sacred purposes like the Italian Opera or dances like Branle, Pavane, Gavotte and Battaglia????
It's actually not an augmented fourth because that would be raising the note, rather it is a diminished fifth because the number five is associated with grace biblically and Lucifer who one could even say was the dominant force at one time below only God fell from grace. Thus the devils note.
Wow you helped me out a bunch. Thanks
Not Charley, dang
Yo that theory lesson was awesome and eerie
You got me at devils tone. I swear its the evil who wanted to define sound as evil. Great lesson. Thank you i got this song called i aint gots no license that needed a rythm im stealing his narely bluesy 7th.
So now I don’t have to sell my soul
i was going to correct you about the so called "devil's intrerval" but this video is 7 yrs old
Isn't the augmented 4th just a natural minor fifth?
Respect
Great lesson man, thanks for sharing ????????
Man, all that history at the beginning was so incredibly inaccurate that it made me question the actual guitar bit. Sounds great though, can’t wait to try it.
You've probably been told. but that whole devil tone story is rubbish, and a complete musical urban myth, unsupported by any historical facts.
Too much talking…. If you play the riff where a person can plainly see it and hear it they should be able to learn it if not they're skill level is not ready..
