The fact that he's a reverend makes this so much better
Tonald Drump how’s my hair?
My band "Deacon Earl and the Congregation" opened for him. Like he said, "The Deacon and the Reverend".
you gonna be butthurt again in 2020?
Tonald Drump Why?
the way he talks with his eyes closed is like he's praying to the lord
Blues musicians especially the ones from Mississippi in the 50s are one of the people I respect the most. Most of them never learned how to read music or even guitar tablature, only label the sound they are familiar with. The sound they make is a pure sound of soul, skill and experience
Even today the Delta is like going back in time fifty years. A neat place and in some ways still a sad place in terms of poverty and racial separation
I used to go to Greenwood MS for work and that place looks like the blues. That is where the movie The Help was filmed
John Lee Hooker used The same shuffle on every song.
Music aint in no tabs or notation its in the soul
... and the root of almost all music today. Amazing.
Tablature was developed in the 1300s, but was popularized in the late 60s/early 70s to translate guitar specific music to the written page. More user friendly if you will.
. . . music that people are dancing to, drinking to, fightin' to. The blues.
Is there a single song for all this?
@@moogoomoogoo5990 The Jack ?
Moogoomoogoo cold shot by SRV?
Zizzi's Genetics idk I just imagined it in a cheesy 80s movie bar fight
I think what he means is you can control the crowd if people are fighting, dancing etc like in Crossroads the movie
“Might cost 3$, 5$ or heaven help us 10$”
This guys got that great extremely dry humor
10$ in the 1920's is around 129$ in today's money. Poor people can barely afford food or shelter, let alone a more expensive instrument.
I know that I'm just saying it was funny
@@rafaelsanchez580 these guitars can cost over $3k nowadays...it's interesting how money value changed over the years

@@bigmommaziga4095 While the most famous crypto (bitcoin) went from a mere few dollars of value to over 8000 in a decade. No inflation because bitcoin is kind of like gold, there are only so much bitcoins that can ever be in existence, it's not like fiat currency you just print more of. (over 9500 on 23 july 2020)
Ten minutes every blues player needs in their knowledge locker. Many thanks for this lesson. 75 and still learning.
john tripp 13 and startin learnin
Mitz Hughes 17 not having intention of stopping learning
That's awesome
33 and definitely learning as well. Hopefully still learning at 85 as well :) .
John Tripp ... seems a familiar name.. did I hear some of YOUR music before?Hehe.
59 and just scratching the surface
Struggles on the pentatonic scale..pulls out slide...magic..
Well to be fair, since it is a slide guitar the action is a lot higher than would be comfortable
Imdor the nut isn’t the only thing determining action though, he could have his neck bowed, which is typically how the action is set on an acoustic
@@fooball4589 you mean that his neck is intentionally bowed?
Mariano Abundiz yes, by twisting the truss rod on an acoustic you will bow the neck, which changes the action. This is typically how it’s changed
@@fooball4589 yes i got that but I am guessing that most people who play slide prefer their action this way. Must be easier to slide.
I remember buying a Mississippi John Hurt tab book. My guitar teacher said, "If you learn this you can teach me"
Christopher Bako did you learn it tho?
A friend of mine has spent years learning to play like Mississippi John Hurt. I wish I had his dedication. My technique is a pretty basic pick-n-scratch.
@@gebirg1 He was a Beast! I Love his "Candyman"
😂😂😂😂😂
I would like to say THANK YOU for the way you recorded this.
One camera on him, another on his right hand, another on the guitar arm.
Perfect.
Congratulations.
It's really hard to find people who do this
I always feel so much smarter after watching his video lessons.
I love how he tunes it all in seconds with no sweat
these kinds of videos are historical treasures.
Yup, videos of first hand sources is a hard and rare thing that needs done more, so much info and tricks sometimes gets lost from not doing such.
This man becomes the embodiment of the guitar when he pulls out the slide bar. Much praise.
6:55 "Seagulls, I said stop it now!"
I think im the only one that got this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bad lip reading ?
What's that stank?
Holy shit that’s uncanny
😂😂😂😂😂
Im 40 years old and just diggin into the 4 bar blues now and ill tell ya i het more enjoyment and inspiration outta this than i ever did outta 25 years of standard tune!!! Its amazing!! I thought i was done learning the guitar but im just starting gentleman and these types of videos are invaluable.
Crazy isn’t it? While I like a lot of music that came out of the blues, I always end up walking right back to the delta blues style. There’s something timeless about it
It was like watching Bob Ross playing guitar.
You mean Marty?
Man I'm barely over 1 month into learning guitar and you're making me wanna go out and spend my savings on a resonator LOL. These videos are awesome.
Do it, Joe!!
Gretsch honey dipper
Sir, I could listen to you teach all day.
Possibly the best video on UA-cam explaining early blues
Living with the still echoing words of a once one of a kind singer (Rest In Peace), "Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever play the Blues".
This is the best human being on earth,
We must protect him at all costs....
4:20 Nice. Love the charisma of this gentleman.
Awesome teacher! Most than can play are not able to teach, this gentleman has it all, what an honour to learn from Rev. Rob!!
You are a good teacher, Rev. Jones; even to people that we don't play guitar. 😏 But, we feel and love the blues. Greetings from Monterrey, México. 🤙🏼 5-4
William de Jesús Ayala Cera
Eeee yo tmb soy de Monterrey jajaj
@@fergarza3141 Jajaja. ¡Qué casualidad, mi buen! Es bueno saber que en Monterrey hay personal que le gusta el blues 🤙🏼y no reaggeton, banda, cumbia, etc. Saludotes, paisa. 😁 5-4
I love how they did the cameras on this video!
I really like this guy ,the way he explains things it's like he's talking to you personally. Very noledgable about the Blues History as well.And he can swing a pretty good guitar to.Keep bringing it on Bro.😊😎
I have been blessed to be the steward of a 1931 National Duolian steel resophonic guitar, for over twenty years now.
I grew up listening to Robert Jones on the radio, a blues teacher extraordinaire
Gorgeous steel resonator guitar. My grandfather had one - he's gone 50 years ago now - was almost like hearing him again.
I LOVED the stories & snips of history.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
What an absolute delight to watch and listen.
Such a talented man, so much respect.
An eloquent music lesson from a most articulate man !
When I finally get the pick out of my soundhole 04:20
I actually laughed out loud......Nice one.xD
I like how raw and natural blues is
This is some of the best explanation of information I've seen in the 2 years I've been learning guitar.
This man knows the difference between showing off and teaching. I learned more in two minutes with the Rev. than I learned in two hours watching anyone else.
I’ve spent most of my time trying to find someone/something to learn from that’s more direct, but the one time I don’t go for what I’m used to, this mans explanation just amazes me
What a beautiful person,simple theories,smart,well spoken,obviously educated or plain smart,stories that just draw you in.A pleasure to watch and listen to.Thankyou
This is the best you tube video I have seen in my life. Nothing touches my soul like delta blues. Thank you for taking the time to make this post and to keep Son House's name alive. And thank you for inspiration to pick up my resonator again. 🙌
That is what I call blues. Old school original blues. Never heard anybody explain it this well
One of Detroit's Finest.
Bro this is very helpful great content!
I'm an Asian boy who really wants to play old blues
OI1E why did you mention you’re Asian?
Richard Johnson I guess because it’s not too common to see a Asian playing the Blues
Zizzi's Genetics No, I actually have not
I understand. When I started to play in 92 there was no asian playing blues or the like. It was hard to find a teacher of that genre too. Took lessons at Marshall Music near East Lansing for alittle bit
@@user-jn5yi5cp8d There's a lot of East-Asian people who play blues, especially Japanese. Hugo is Thai, plays some mean blues. Well, he's half-Thai.
Ive never Been A real Blues fan, But you have shared things that have Changed my mind! Thanks so much!
Very cool! Thanks for posting this Rev. Music truly is the "universal language."
Gratefull Méxicano here¡! God bless¡!
This guy reminds me so much of my high school guitar teacher, Bill Hathcote. The way he articulates his words, closes his eyes when he talks, sits, goes through the history. It's all there.
gods bless youtube for having this guy teaching us the ways of blues
History and music lesson together. Brilliant.
Wow, I feel like a door has just opened. It was great, interesting and then you sang. For the first time in my musical life journey I begin to appreciate the raw history that's woven into this glorious music.
I've now got to hear more, thank you
The fact he fits history lesson AND Slide into it is what makes it really interesting 👍
Who does NOT love Rev Robert ⁉️ A national treasure.
Good to see you Rev. Jones. Haven't heard from you since WDET. I am a big fan.
Thanks Rev. Jones! Charlie Paton was Native American! And he was before Robert Johnson and has been greatly overlooked.
I LOVE playing slide. I think I may have taken where it quite hasn't gotten too yet. I thank and Love Our african elders who brought us this great music.
We are all related. All elders are my elders if I feel that way.
4:20 priceless :-D
this is the right timecode where you are always supposed to make that sound
This man is a saint for teaching like this. Thank you
that is the prettiest Resonator I've seen. A real beauty. You play it like a master.
Sir, I could listen to you pluckin and talkin about blues history until the moon goes down. This is very informative, both musically and historically, thanks for sharing.
What a treasure, Music and history, Thank you! God bless you Reverend!
Everything he said is spot on. I love this guy, he's genuine.
Always a pleasure hearing some gold from the Rev a man with a fountain of knowledge and Blues ….thanks for sharing ..amen...
I love listening to a scientist and clearly he is just that.
Just wanna say thank you for sharing the knowledge and experience. Deep stuff.
Man the way this guy talks about these images and experiences makes me think he must be 150 anyway love his playing and personality
Some of the best teaching I've ever seen on this subject. Thanks so much Rev!
Reverend, you have a gift! Thank you for sharing it!
Preacher man plays the blues so well... and what a natural teacher/communicator !
Enjoining all of your videos sir... thank you and God Bless !
Reverend Jones you are a man who knows how to impart knowledge with absolute clarity, brilliant
Rev. Jones knows his history ..
This guy is great. He really paints a picture of the past well. Good job
I played on one of those metal guitars today. Not as fancy or old as this one, but still. It was unique. The thing is heavy, and it's got a bit of a metallic sound. It also sounds a bit like an electric guitar.
Reverend, this is amazing. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for this tutorial. Your story telling adds so much insight for someone like myself trying to learn the Delta Blues than just a technical instruction video.
This is so great. Thank you! Not enough love and recognition out there for old school delta blues!!
Lição de blues maravilhosa. Amazing blues lesson.
Beautifully presented.
I'm actually crying right now. This video has made me weep so I thank you for that.
This is just a fantastic lesson! I have watched it probably 5 times now and continue to learn
Absolutely love Son House, Rev. Jones. Death Letter Blues is one of my biggest favorites. His interviews in his later days are wonderful. Skip James is another favorite.
Thanks so much! This was really helpful and great teaching.
Wow, nice. Thank you for taking time for making this video. Love the history too.
I knew I recognized that Riff you play around 6:17. I'm no Blues Historian, but I know it from: Sweet Mama Brown - Austin Walkin' Cane
Now that's some DANCIN' MUSIC.
Livin' Workin' Dyin' (Don't Come Easy) & One Heart Walking by Austin Cane is also as Amazing.
I got to see Sugar Blue Live in a small Cleveland Club 2 Tables from the Front & Austin opened for him. Two Legends in the same place letting loose.
When I noticed that the 1st 3 songs of Austin's stuff sounded like it was straight from Lightnin' Hopkins & Blind Lemon he locked eyes with me & was... I mean, I thought he was kind of angry at first like I called him a rip-off Artist or something but then he says to me "You know, I've been to Germany & played every Blues bar on the Devil's Highway, & that is the best compliment I think I've ever gotten."
I bought all of his Albums & both of Sugar Blue's. They brought the HOUSE down that night. The Liquor flowed in that little 60 table Club on the Cleveland Harbor.
The open g tuning sounds cool. Thanks for the upload
Amazing teacher/guitarist.
Love lessons on TrueFire from REv. Robert Jones. Love the history, and stories behind history of the blues.
Crazy how he just exudes that sound 😍💯so awesome thank you
The instruction in this video is just as awesome as the spectacular explanations and teaching of the history of the style!
Thank you so much!
So much more than a lesson. A pleasure to listen to. Thanks.
I’m seriously convinced that this is the best music ever made
The Right Reverend is quite the authority and a virtuoso as well,
Always a pleasure to listen to the Rev.
Great teacher with a soothing voice
Incredible lesson!
You’re a great presenter. You include good, relevant info.
Thank you.
Always love open tuning blues with the slide, thanks for the lesson
I could listen to this guy all day
Familiar with the drop D.... thanks for introducing me to this G tuning... (the b makes all the difference) excellent presentation
Brilliant, thanks for sharing the wonderful blues.
Have an old 1929 bakelite-neck triolian I inherited from my great grandfather, still sings beautifully.
Great seeing you. Haven't seen you in years. Last time I saw your live show was in the 90's! Saw some video you did for Dearborn schools awhile ago. Enjoyed that. The Rev is a great historian of the blues. Also miss, though did catch the show a lot when you had the WDET radio show. Keep on keepin' on!
Praise the Lord for the gift of music.
I instantly trusted this guy when it comes to blues.
Thank you,brother. What excellent instruction, so respectful and helpful in numerous ways. Thank you.
Thank you. Very nice presentation and your playing is great.
Hey Man I Truly Appreciate Your Honesty and Your Gifted Music Skills . Your Ability To Teach Is The Best Anywhere.
