    Hi Cam - I first heard your grandfathers music on the John Peele radio show in England nearly 30 years ago, and I never forgot the Kimbrough name (even in that pre-internet search age). He was a remarkable artist and it’s brilliant to see that gift passed down to you. Thanks for sharing these lessons.

      It's been 7 hours most if that was practice. I can do this. Thank you. It's so much fun, but what is the best tuning for this kind of play? Soon I'll learn how to make it chugga, chugga. Thanks again.

    As someone with a musical foundation in rap, I really appreciate your videos. Took me a long time to find my way back to blues, especially being a Mexican from California. I’ve found myself connecting with Hill Country Blues especially with the rhythmic and lyrical similarities to rap, but it’s hard to find lessons on the style. Thank you very much sir

    Cam, thanks for this lesson and thanks for your humility regarding how long it took you to get this down. I have felt discouraged by the struggle but knowing that someone who plays as well as you had to put in the hours to get this style down, well, that helps. Also, let's hear for it technology. It's 2023 and a random blues fan in Wisconsin can stumble across videos from a guy in Northern Mississippi who happens to be the grandson of Junior Kimbrough and is a hell of a player himself and offers up lessons on UA-cam.

Just wanted to let you know that what you’re doing is travelling far, and there’s a least one little corner of London, England where a guitar’s playing Hill Country every night.

    Even though I'm a fiddle player, I appreciate what you share. There is ALWAYS something to learn. One thing I thought, when you said you woke up and it was 'there' and you could play it. Part of it muscle memory, but part of it - maybe - is the melody/drone... whatever you wanna call it... ;-)... floating around in your head. You can't play it if you can't sing it. So the combo of muscle memory and the 'sound/melody' itself... is the Cosmic Combo... thanks for making the time to share. :) Always enjoyable!!!
