Curtis was a genius and he needs more recognition as such. Even his stuff with The Impressions is S Tier writing.
Thanks for giving Curtis some of the recognition he so deserves.
Curtis is the definition of SMOOTH guitar playing... learning his stuff is an eye-opener & a lesson in taste
I could listen to this trio all day. Big thanks to Jimmy and the crew!
Wish I had a few hundred more thumbs to give this !!!!
I always loved Curtis Mayfield -. Thought he was fantastic back in the early 1970’s. Too bad he got injured the way he did….
Always thought Jimi Hendrix was good but a show boat …. But Mayfield - he was the real thing. RIP Curtis ….
You only really die when people forget you … obviously musicians everywhere keep him alive !!! 👍🙏
Killed it. Long live Mayfield
My friend Craig McMullen, whom I saw last September in Beverly Hills (at a Motown Records alumni event), also played guitar in Curtis Mayfield's band, and I think the reason he fit in so well with the band is because he had a similar, sweet, smooth, beautiful rhythm n harmony sound. It was really more a rhythm/harmony accompaniment sound than a guitar featured sound like in rock music. Also, too, even though the music was very colorful and soulful and funky, the bands that did all the session recordings for all the classic soul and r n b singers were there to support and give room to those legendary vocalists, so it was harmonically subtle in many ways. Which also suits Curtis' beautiful soft tenor voice.
Love this tribute to the legendary Curtis Mayfield...Jimmy really knows how to get down!
Mr. Jimmy James, you're a GrandMaster R&B Guitarist. Keep up the Good Work.
I love how the dude names two songs, seems to look for another one and just says “the catalog is countless” lol
Curtis Mayfield the best Songwriter ever.
They are sooo awesome, instantly bought their cds. 😍😍
Man you guys were very informative for us learning to be a guitarist. Keep it coming.
This is my favorite episode so far!
Nice! I love that style😊
Best ever! Move on up!!
Really inspiring, Jimmy James - great!
This group is great. When are they coming to Pittsburgh, pa?
I.think the drummer and the keyboard player deserve some love too.....
Really great sound and tone!..🔥🔥🔥

O SELO PSICOSE RIO GB. 1969. MESTRE ROBERTO CABOTAGEM MCB MM
Jimi Hendrix as you probably know played with Curtis Mayfield and I can see how Jimi got some of Curtis' techniques
Thanks so much for this!!!
P. S Isn't that a professional stratocaster though?
Curtis also had a big influence on Hendrix. Jimi just played it VERY LOUD!
DLO3!! Love these guys. Check out their KEXP set. So smooth and groove...

this is a Fender channel but jeez the constant Fender plugs ... in case we forget since the last plug?
Man that was nice
Curtis played with his finger like Jeff Beck
Also like James Jameson
Delvon Lamar Organ Trio starts to play at 22:54

Andy Warhol on drums, ladies and gentlemen!
I thought that they would show how to tune in to black keys way.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
my fav is diamond in the back , but i heard its not his original
Thats a William-devaughn track 🤙🏼
Really good playing and interesting discussion. No idea why all the dickish comments on here. Mayfield's lyrics were always positive and inspiring.
I like it. 🙂 💫
Is that the GT200 or the GTX in the back left?
It's a GT not a GTX.
But I can't no Hot Buttered Soul?! Get on out!!!
nice
Um…chords, guitar settings, rhythmic technique, effects setup, amp(s) used???
Curtis was also inspired by Hendrix...the Bassline for Superfly is the middle section of Machine Gun sped up. So it came full circle.
man these guys are always playing by windows
👍
Best episode yet. Aside from the fun Curtis content and performances of the trio at the end, Pete Griffin is the best host I've seen yet in the series. Bring him back.
Pete is great in Zappa plays Zappa
Where's the Bass player?
They're a trio. Delvon plays the bass notes with his feet on the organ.
Curtis did'not use guitar picks...
Mitch Mitchel once said Hendrix sounded like Curtis Mayfield.... well I really don’t think there is much of a comparison.
Exactly
You'd be wrong listen to the entire album of axis bold as love. Little wing, Castles made of sand, wait till tomorrow, then you move on to cry of love and listen to drifting, electric ladyland listen to have you ever been to electric ladyland, first album listen to The wind cries Mary, Hendriz is a student of Curtis's music. Although the first album are you experienced is mostly distorted guitar and pyrotechnics, but axis electric ladyland and cry of love all have many beautiful clean guitar parts. Hendrix's rhythm playing, in my opinion, is far more impressive than his lead work. Like Curtis had a great ability to take pieces of cords and use triads as well as full chords breaking the corded do several parts like a piano player. Curtis Mayfield is awesome and irreplaceable but Jimi is an absolute genius at what he does and I don't think there's ever been even more unique interpretation of Curtis's work then Jimi's. the thing that I always irritates me is people that think they know everything about Hendrix who don't realize Curtis's influence, and the Curtis whodon't hear any of Curtis in Hendrix' music and if that's the case they're just listening to the wrong tracks because while Jimi does it his own way, he pays homage to his idol, by applying his techniques to a totally new approach to playing. I find it a lot of blues purists and soul purists, here's some sloppy performance of purple Haze or foxy lady, and they think that that sums up Hendrix that he was just a fad. that's not true at all and he was in fact one of those once-in-a-generation we were lucky enough to experience
In fact expound upon that point when hendrix's rhythm style is taught, many great players like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Johnson go out of their way to credit hendrix's rhythm style with what he learned from Curtis Mayfield. Hendrix's first gig and professional level was playing with the Isley Brothers, so in addition to Chicago blues, delta blues as well as some Texas blues, what he learned in Greenwich village from Dylan and the hippies and what he learned in London playing with the British blues rock, cats like Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Paul kossoff, The rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, there was already a heavy Albert King, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Howlin Wolf, Elmore James, BB King, Muddy Waters, lightnin Hopkins, T-Bone Walker,Freddie King, of course Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, huddie ledbetter or Leadbelly, elements in his blues style. And of course last night forget guys like Chuck Berry who really showed Hendrix showmanship as did Little Richard. He also love the early rock and roll like Elvis Presley,
ok if you say so. - Hendrix are very much like Mayfield in a lot of ways. His basic "hendrix technique" comes from Mayfield.
Sir,credit the "Black experience" and stop trying to package it as a "Human experience".His music was birthed and drenched in civil rights- Own the ugly history! Good tribute nonetheless
Why is bass dude all shaky?
😂
Nice but Curtis didn’t use a pick. And unique tuning cant be replicated.
Yes Todd.
This is garbage.
Mayfield stuff was awesome, the Fender crap in the 2nd half was unwatchable.
Can't sing those lyrics.
Stop comparing,,Play like yourself,with your own DNA. We already have enough ''Rip Off's''
Magnum Opus Songwriter true but I don’t think there is any harm in taking some inspiration from a great artist like Curtis Mayfield.
Curtis had a beautiful warm tone. This guy here has the opposite tone. Yikes.
I’m sure yours is way better than the great Jimmy James. Can’t wait to hear you at a venue near me soon!
