I’ve got a great idea… still slide themed- slide in standard tuning ala Duane Allman! He’s the king of southern rock slide!
Great to see you playing Elmore James! He is one of my personal favourites. Would love to see you cover someone like Magic Sam or ZZ Top
You should totally do a video on Richie Kotzen, man, he is sooooo overlooked and he deserves to be recognized as one of the best.
Also, excellent video as always!
The solo in Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles, please
If you are is a bluesy mood … “Porch Light” by Robert Cray. Really beautiful blues lament ..
You are so versatile......and talented, both as a musician and teacher. Thanks !!!
Give it a shot someday Doug...
Nice to see uncleDoug .
@@trevorclarey3336 Thom is the best on YT. I'm a big fan.
@@alfatone2654 Maybe I can get my own YT channel ;)
You are among the best players on YT, and of those, probably the best singer.
Agree. Amazing vocals.
Takes me back to 70s.I was 17. I got hold of some Elmore James LPs. I saw the pictures of Elmores guitar on the cover. I put away my electric guitar, took my crappy acoustic, stuck an electric pickup in the soundhole. Then turned up my amp and started sliding. The thing is I tried all Elmores songs in standard tuning at first. But the biggest problem was trying to sing like Elmore with my sqeeky little voice. Its a little better now I´m 65.
This video is great. Great sound and with a great attitude that will help a lot of younger players. May Elmore rest in peace. Great musician.
aweome and energetic playing as always, but I gotta say man, you rocked the singing on this one. I swear it sounded like a baritone version of Robert Plant
Blues at its best. In its supposed ease, it has something that distinguishes it from the rest: soul and rawness.
I'm enjoying the facial expression when you do the slide! Great lesson as always! :)
This Man Is Simply Amazing Is There Nothing He Can’t Play I Always Love Watching His Videos He Is Definitely Number One In My Book Thanks
That was fantastic Thom! Blues is my favorite kind of music & those old Blues men were the best. No lessons needed, just on old beat up guitar & inborn talent! This made my day. Thank you!! 👍😉🎸
On the spot!
Great!
I don't know how and I don't know when but I'm gonna get this guy to play at my wedding
haha, who knows it might happen!
You are extremely talented and an inspiration for anyone - even people who don't play guitar!! Best regards from Amsterdam, Frankyjonez
Like we’re starting a car… priceless! Totally true.
Well, you've done it again Pilgrim.
You simplified a classic so that anyone with a guitar, a pick and a steel ( or bottle ) tube can learn that classic song. Thanks again for giving me the tools I need to blow my friends out of the water.
You make music fun!
Really liked your singing! And of course as always your playing.
Yeahhhh baby!!! What a wonderful new lesson 🙏🙏 thank youuuuuuu
Yeah!! I agree with these guys. I love your playing and singing!!!
Absolutely smashing! Big cheers to that what a great vid! 🍺
Great vocals, by the way. And great content, of course.
Big fan of Elmore! You really did a Great Job!
I love the videos, and you have a great voice.
Great tips as ever 👍 Guitar Pilgrim also teaches you the importance of what you don’t play. Best guitar channel on here in my book. And he treats us to some piano from time to time too!
I love his enthusiasm
Amazing video as always! Elmore James is one of my favourite guitarists. I'd love to see videos about other great bluesmen.
I have all ways loved Elmore james, and that lesson was fantastic, I will have to go and practice at once. thank you
Great lesson. Thanks.
Man .. I'd enjoy watching you gig live !
Sounds great. Nice vocals as well.
Ike and Tina cover this one like snowfall and Ike plays it in the key of E in standard tuning. It almost plays itself. I appreciate your tutorial method and have added your site to my short list of YT lesson givers and have subscribed. It's nearly Christmas here in Texas so I wish you and yours a safe and happy one.
Really loved and enjoyed your tutorial.thanks for the lesson.
Thank You Man ! I love your channel
Hey brother, awesome stuff! Not only are you a wonderful player, but your voice is incredible. Any chance you can do Rollin’ and Tumbling?
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Great! Love it!
Loved it !!
Great stuff, that gives mi inspiration.
It's great. Thank you.
Less is more. Keep it simple as Sam Phillips sad. But it is not simple to do, to keep that feeling.
🙂
Fantastic
Duuuddeee!! Amazing!! Thank you sooo much!!!!
Great lesson - thank you. I feel even I might be able to get the basics down on this one!
give it a try, its great fun to play this one
You're videos are always amazing! Have you ever considered recording some covers or maybe even originals? I love your voice and guitar playing, so I'd definitely listen to them!!
you're not the first to ask, perhaps I will do that!
@@GuitarPilgrim Yeeees thank you! Would love to hear some full songs of yours!!
Great Studio
LOVE IT.
That is rocking!
Awesome jeremy spencer done a good job on early fleetwood mac records.
Your passion for Music (Guitar and Piano) and your energy in playing gets my 66 YO self moving a little quicker on my "AXE"..Thank you for the entertainment and the education!
Ouah !!! c'est du super top...Merci
...
You're a badass... awesome!
Amazing
You look, play and sing like real super star!
Damn u can sing the blues! 👌🏻
Zeer netjes 😛
Dude can sing and play like the boss!
J'aime beaucoup cette chaine,j'aime beaucoup ce gars,un super musicien
i wish one day you talk about the simplicity of lowell george at slide guitar would love it !
Guitar Pilgrim you are the mutz nutz.
Thanks for sharing some blues with us.
You can sing dude, you can surely sing.
Thanks Gus, trying to sing elmore james wasn't easy. I wasnt sure I could pull it of
@@GuitarPilgrim You pulled it off big time.
I’ve seen so many of your videos, you always keep me interested right to the end.
You’re a blinking good guitarist and teacher.
Thanks for all you’ve taught me.
Well done
Great
WoW you play and sing 👌 thanks from Canary Islands 💥💥
Great lesson. Easy to see how Elmore took the Dust My Broom and made some songs from it.
Elmore James is the king! Please do a video on his Dust My Blues and Goodbye Baby please
Elmore’s main tuning was Open D, like Pilgrim has here.
You sing pretty well ! You should release a blues album
“Da bluz come down on me ….. Mississippi Fred McDowell
Really great playing, you have great lessons. Can you please show up how to play Dust my Broom? Thank you
You be "rollin" Pilgrim!
Hell YEAH!! 00
Very simple you say? You have to have feeling
You got it going on there Pilgrim 😀
I want to pre-order your blues album! I LOVED this! And that's not to say I don't Love Everything you do--but this was soul touchingly good! Gotta be fun to be you. Stay Well!
for me the best song of elmore is it hurts me too, and eric clapton on the album from de cradle pays him an incredible tribute, the best version of all after the original
The original version of It Hurts Me To was by Tampa Red.
@@davidhertzberg9066 really? i thought it was from elmore because in a concert eric clapton mentions that the song is from elmore
@@jaredrodriguez3578 ua-cam.com/video/34VJzHT9nuk/v-deo.html
Tampa Red's version from 1940.
Very nice with a Kazoo at the end
Elmore James got nothin' on this, baby!
Hey Hans! Leuk van je te horen, groetjes uit Ierland!! ook namens floortje!
Hi Thom, Today is a good day! like starting a car?😂. Will never forget that! Love the piano backing at the close too. Question - Why the Les Paul are not the Stratocaster?
niceee
John lee Hooker said it best "throw all the fancy chords away .. just get this B"
Great video! I'd love to know your settings on the amp and pedal (?) you're using.
Brian Jones idol, Elmore James. :)
Now that you got the Les Paul, I think it's time to get an SG and set it up for slide.🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵
If I could play this riff like you , I would have my own channel Pilgrim. !!!! 😂😂😂✌✝💕💕💕
Go for it!
Your playing is awesome,,, 😎✌@@GuitarPilgrim
Your skills on the guitar is known by now.
But again your singing is great.
Doorgaan... vooral doorgaan ,😅
could you do a study on Django Reinhardt? Please!
Elmore James played his guitar in open E tuning.
Bro, do you like Duane Allman's style?
Do you make your own backing tracks? Or is it possible to download them?
I think I like open D now better than open G. I guess it paid off getting a new 6 string to kick around in a different tuning. Thanks for your unabashed enthusiasm.
Give it a shot doug...
Please "Dust my broom"
Did you want to cover this song ?, I think it's good!
Hey Pilgrim, I have been a big fan for a long time. I notice you aren't muting the strings with your left hand. I started slide yesterday and I saw on youtube that I should lay my fingers on the left hand gently to mute the strings. If I don't do that my strings buzz. But the I see you and I also saw Eric Clapton and you do not use that technique. Can you explain? thank you.
are you running any pedals or sound modifiers?
Please play Stranger Blues some time.
which more difficult:
Playing a fast difficult riff or playing a slow but emotional touching riff ?
Thanks for your videos 👍🏼
the latter most definitely, fast is technique. One cannot fake emotions
@@GuitarPilgrim Every time I listen to the aolo of Double trouble by Eric clapton or many solos by Pink Floyd, it gives me goosebumps.
That is said, I respect the fast playing, kudos for whoever can master this.
Are you just a UA-cam guy, or do you have some recordings/ gigs out there?
I enjoy your playing
no recordings or gigs, just doin youtube
Eric Clapton also has a great version of this song!
Peter Green's Albatross... Maybe easy, but...
Whats the name of the song?
Pilgrim, there is no great sounding acoustic guitar lesson on Chain Of Fools. We need your help. SOS.
Hey Pilgrim, have you ever heard the playing of Lowman Pauling? He's an influence on Clapton, John Fogerty and Steve Cropper (among others). He's got some great, really dirty sounding guitar lines on songs like this one: ua-cam.com/video/1qzjxnOfwgc/v-deo.html
Just wait for the solo's, trust me
here's another good example of his lead playing ua-cam.com/video/2amu_UPFQeU/v-deo.html
The question " Can you play...? " is much more than just a rhetorical one.
Whenever I compare original recordings with performances of today,
I have serious doubt, the old guitar slingers are in fact able (!) to
play the original licks if they wanted.
Example: Pretty Things / Dick Taylor : Mama, Keep Your Big Mouth Shut
( the 30+ second guitar solo is second-to-none in 60 years )
Example: Rolling Stones / Keith Richards : It's All Over Now
( nobody ever since, Keith included, could play the solo this way )
So, dear Pilgrim, lend your ear to the above and make a video, playing
the stuff note-by-note. If anybody can do it - it's gotta be yourself !
No. I cannot.
Merci. How come playing Elmore James is so badass?
Asking for a friend.
Hate hearing people try to be Elmore
