Yes, I agree. This was part of an electric, urban blues series on Jamplay.com. The focus here was not country blues, so I was not teaching the Hopkins style here. Just some of his licks in this other context. I do have a fingerstyle series with Jamplay though.
Lightnin' job. Your body language and slow, reassuring instructions are emblematic of Jam Play quality. The camera work is first-class, first-string and first rate.
No, they are both great. The P90s are a little nastier sounding, which is cool for the blues, but the mini-humbuckers have many good qualities of both P90s and full sized humbuckers. Very versatile.
@sonicredline We tune our guitars regularly (with our tunes, an with octaves) for every video we do. That guitar is also in perfect working intonation.
@ericmadis53 thanks mate :) and what do you think, are the Seymour Duncan Mh-3 mini hums better than the P90's for playing the blues? (with a little overdrive included too :P )
Those are not P-90s. Those are mini-humbuckers, which fit into the same space as P-90s. Those guitars (ES-135) came with P-100 pickups, which were a stacked humbucker. I didn't like them, so I replaced them with Seymour Duncan mini humbuckers.
Yes, I agree with you. However, I do play and teach the Hopkins (Texas) style, but that was not what I was doing in this series. This was part of an urban, electric blues series at Jamplay.com. I have a fingerstyle series with them also.
"When you're playing by yourself, which a lot of you will be"
He knows me so well
Painful truth 😅
i love the blues
that guitar is absolutely gorgeous.
Try putting extra light strings on your acoustic. You'll get a thinner tone but it will be easier to do this kind of stuff.
Lol. "If you're playing by yourself, and most of you WILL be."
The punch line of all blues players
Yeah, but that isn't what I meant, of course!
But it is true
Very cool Gibson.
anyone know where i can find videos similar to this but move from one point to the next in a quicker fashion? thanks.
@WatchingMamut is it an ES-175?
si,bueno!
Stevie Ray Vaughan mann!
What country are you from? Tell us a bit about yourself.
I didnt see him use his thumb any, totally different style.

Lightin Hopkins!...... and subscribed...
Glad you liked it! Now with the quarantine happening, we do multiple live lessons and concerts every week!
I love teachers like this. So detailed, and so detailed in the areas nobody ever talks about. I wish this guy lived in my town
I like the way he took his time to give details. I'm at the level I need that.

They're great pickups. I don't have a guitar with those pickups anymore, but I am still looking to put them in something else one of these days.
@UnceBobTouchedMe No, They are Seymour Duncan MH-3 mini-humbuckers.

First ... Hopkins Play with finger . 2 fingers
Second listen a texas blues, you'll see that has nothing to do with you teach
Yes, I agree with you. However, I do play and teach the Hopkins (Texas) style, but that was not what I was doing in this series. This was part of an urban, electric blues series at Jamplay.com. I have a fingerstyle series with them also.
