I just spent all night watching this guy talk about guitar. Didn't pick mine up, just enjoyed feelin like we were chillin and chattin bout the blues

After about 5 hours of this riff, my wife cut my strings. I said "thanks for the new lyrics". Great video, thank you.

"Woke up this morning, picked up my guitar and I played some things, I woke up this morning and played till I made it really sing, Went to eat my breakfast, and my dog gone wife came long and cut my strings" Kind of a memphis minnie meets Robert style of wording, lol.

This Reverend Jones is one great teacher. Clear and concise even an idiot like me can make sense of this

After playing Chicago Blues for 50 years, I'm finally able to understand what my Great-Grandmother Pat was trying to teach me about slide guitar when I was 10 years old. I am your new disciple. Ironically, that was the name of the street gang I was in growing up in the hood on the south side...Thank you Brother Reverend.

This is one thing I love about the blues. The sadness inside the rhythm is so pure that it can make you shed tears over a lost biscuit roller. There's something so beautifully pure about that.

That'd be his wife.. the one who rolls the biscuits.

There's something so comforting about the idea of his grandmother dropping some sage advice on him and him reacting with "huh?" That's some classic grandmother/grandson interaction!

Omg talking about your grandma and her critique. Hilarious. The lady knew what she was talking about!

Grandmothers are great, and if you were fortunate enough to have one around you know what I mean. Mine was Irish, and was always singing or reciting a ditty. I could always convince her to spend 29 cents on an album that was for sale at the First National supermarket, and "Yankee Doodle Dandy, the music of George M Cohan" was a big hit in our house in the mid '50's, but shortly after I discovered Rock and Roll.

I respect this man.

The Reverend. Some can play; some can teach. Few can do both. Rev does both.

Absolutly fantastic... The Country Blues has been my favorite music for 50 years..I'm 65 yrs old now,, from the UK..

Man there's a lot of wisdom in these videos. I really appreciate your thoughts and explanations on finger picking. Because both finger picking and slide playing has always been my weakest field. Im a heavy metal player, but I've always felt like a blues player at heart - being a born and raised southern man. It's like my ears want heavy metal but my hands of body wants to make blues. So for the last couple months I've been kinda lost on what I should be spending my time practicing on. I think I need to simplify things and start back at the basics. I feel like no matter how intricate and complex stuff I can pull off, I'm never going to beat the really solid and steady blues style picking that my ears want to hear. Music has never been about prestige or competition to me. It's always been about the love of the art. I can see this in some people. It's like either you get it or you don't. Cheers. I'm loving these videos. I'm subscribed.

Heavy metal is, at its foundation, the blues, played really loud.

@@bchadaway7469 no... its not. Do you play guitar by any chance? Blues played really loud is called "rock" music. There exist blues style guitarist in metal (especially in the early days) but metal uses completely different scales, techniques and sounds. Metal is the least blues modern genre ever. Metal borrows more from classical composers than anything. Many metal songs contain sections which are literally note for note taken from classical songs. Some bands go out of their way to not include any blues licks or sounds in their music.

Been playing guitar for awhile and I just got a resonator. As soon as I picked it up off the rack if felt like coming home. RL Burnside (and many of the greats) made this song a legend so I landed here. Thanks for teaching us this in a very clear and concise way with real wisdom and skill!

Reverend, you are an incredible teacher!! Love the thoughtful and measured approach! Thank you!

been pickin for 20 years and i just found a new teacher. Reverend i thank you for your time and knowledge.

58 guitar players are already so good the Rev can't teach them anything!

Good to see Bukka White still active

Al Wilson the owl from canned heat got me loving slide guitar

Brilliant lesson. Excellant teacher. Love the little insights and stories.

You don't hear songs like that anymore I love that music

I made this same comment on another video in this general series of lessons, but I felt like it was worth repeating on this one... This series of lessons are underrated. Players often talk about the mystique of blues guitar, searching for elusive paper or digital blues "grimoire"'s each one claiming to be the legit real-deal containing TeH SeCreTs Of tHe BLueS. Well folks, HERE is the real deal. Real blues musicians passing on their knowledge and experience, demonstrating and teaching "the tricks of the trade" in great series of lessons. Doesn't get more authentic. Excellent lesson. Great job!

Wow, Rev Robert, you just gave me something to look forward to when I get home from work. Gonna get that slide out and sit there till I’m inadvertently shaking my head and smiling like I am when I listen to you. Thank you so much.

“An imaginary string between your foot and your thumb” so simple! And such great advice

This is amazing not only is he teaching how to play but he’s teaching how to sing it properly how to keep it real and know what to do right it’s fantastic

Peace be with you Rev. Robert Jones! You have awaken me!

Listening in from Maine. So good!!

I'm definitely buying a resonator now just so i can play some blues like this. I've been wanting to get back into guitar for years and this video has finally convinced me.

If wondering if you should watch this or not, do, you won't regret it. The man's a master.

God bless you, Rev!

Amen Reverend, you have God's gift of music in your soul......

Great teachers are hard to come by. Rev you’re a great one! Many thx

Thank you so much Rev. Jones. I love how you breakdown these riffs.

Putting on your vidz Robert is like spending time with a good mate!!!

Nice gotta share it..good job!!

Love this lesson. I'm new to slide but working on it, I pick up something every time I view it. Particularly like the rhythm approach of just muting the strings. I understand Robert is going to be in New England this summer, maybe things will be back to normal by then and I can attend.

"You want that to be *chonk*" Awesome :D
