Hey! I was on RL Boyce FINAL TOUR last year 2023 as bass player in NJ & New York! Phancee Music Amy Verdon is his booker and legend keeper. I MISS RL BOYCE - NEA HISTORIC Blues Fellow in 2023! ❤
This is freakin great - I’m in the hospital for a couple days ODing on youtube and can’t wait to get home and try this lick. It’s been firmly implanted in my head since first hearing. Please keep making these vids - you have a great style!
I make my own acrylic powder & superglue fingernails for the sole purpose of playing country blues. They’re strong as hell and short enough to NOT be noticeable at all. I’ve done it for years now. 👍
So true about copying the greats, we are all like rivers, we change all the time in a billion ways, and then all our contexts are infinite too, excellent video.
A candid lesson is more relatable than a scripted production. Easy to catch on because in-person learning is best, and this format is the closest thing to it. Thanks Just cause a lesson is online doesn’t mean it needs anything more than a stationary camera. What, when someone plays guitar in front of you, do you need to jut forward and swoop in til your eye is an inch from their strumming hand and then fling onto your feet and tower above them for a top view before getting eye level and 3-ft back while Ken Burnsing your cranium? Oops back to Burnside
Man....... This was so f`n "refreshing" and real......... I appreciated so much what you said.......... "Play it however the fuck you want" .......... this really hit home with me man........... Thanks! Awesome lesson! Just subsribed hoping you`ve got some more!
@@stanlymcstanlyson9156 --- Are you in standard or open tuning? I know RL Burnside played the majority of his tunes in open G........ is why I`m asking --- Thanks!
Good work man honestly I’ve followed a lot of small musicians with little subscribers just to see how there UA-cam platform grows compared to mine and yours is taking off. 16k views is alot and I envy the hard work your putting in, I gotta kick it up a notch.
Hey, the best thing I could say from my limited experience is. If you have an idea just make a video about it. You never know how it’ll turn out until you try!
Sub👊 I was up all night playing with this technique like you say there really is no thinking behind it just got to find your own way and eventually you will hear it Thank you You sound great 👊💪
Thank you for the video! It inspired me to continue discovering blues.. The question is can you film the video about hand muting. It's a lot of that in here, but you told nothing about it
Ok cool. I’m digging it.Thanks for making a video on this sound. BTW. What are you pumping through that Reverb behind you? Another video using the electric blues? Oh and what blues are you listening to?
Burnside and Boyce are both great but Mississippi Fred McDowell is their daddy. There are performance videos showing his incredible right and left hand work in generating super powerful rhythms. And check out John Lee Hooker as well.
I have trouble with counting this. 1 - E, 2 percussive down strum; 3 and .... slide and B string.......and ? It isn't three time. Seems like a missing 4? Or is it me?
RL plays the scratch stroke with his thumb as well. Not a backhand. You and the other RL's sound is on the way there, but no one I've watched has convinced me otherwise. Watch RL Burnside with that in mind. And yeah, it's even harder. If I had it in the bag I would post a video of it. Haven't seen anyone else besides RL actually cop it yet. He's not my favorite guitarist ever but he's the only one I've seen that so far cannot be copied.
I just try to learn this stuff as a language to express myself more than copying exactly how the real guys did it. I know I’ll never get it exactly. I don’t have their hands 🙌 or their hearts.
The composition of one's fingernails is not genetic, but rather the result of the food and drink as well as what the body is exposed to environmentally. Good day, sir.
The groove of the song like you're doing has to be established before playing for a call and response otherwise it'd be like just playing scales. Nice groove thank you
Except....you left the pure "hill country" vibe at 6.45 or so in the video.....there's no 1,4,5 in Hill Country.....just ride the root and add some flair.....there's no turn around Maestro....
I like your slowness in teaching. Wish you would do it without the vulgarity though. It's hard to listen to the entire video because of the cussing. It's very offensive and unprofessional.

Wow!! That’s amazing!!
Brilliant teaching technique no nonsense approach 🇮🇪👍
Cheers bro. The guitar I’m using was actually gifted to me by an Irish friend! So cheers mate.
Great! Something ELSE TO boggle my mind for the next day or two, or three, lol!
Great lesson, man! Thanks!🤟
Nice dude!
Haha, me too 😂
Great lesson bro thank you. Would love if you made another lesson in this style where you teach a little improvisational stuff like at 7:45
That sounds like a good idea. Improv might be hard to teach, but I’ll try.
You surely do a damn good job of teaching yourself to teach. most appreciated.
Great to hear that!
brilliant gonna work on that for a while, but all fingers and thumbs right now, thanks Stanly
Your welcome!
Priceless! You’re presentation was probably better than you even thought! Much thanks!
Thanks dude!

My friend thankyou!
Cool! I use and upstroke with my 2nd and third fingers. I'm going to investigate this again!
Keep it up!
great lesson, Brazil here! thanks a lot
Cool lesson. I just discovered RL a little while ago. Thanks
Awesome 👏 keep playing!!
Nice! The end part is fun. Took me a minute to get the rhythm.
It was haunting me for years how to play it, and no one before you couldn't make it right. Thanks man!
Glad I could help!
3:25-4:17 any kind of teaching is worth it that you very much sir
Thank you. Fun way to play the blues.
I’m glad you like it 😁
Refreshing approach - thanks. Love your style!!
That wonderful to hear!!
thanks for sharing Stanly great video
Thanks dude!
And your welcome
Stan the Man!! this is great. Looking forward to more vids thks.
Awesome!!
Fucken killer tone dude, sounds legit
Aye thanks dude!
Thanks UA-cam, glad I found this channel.
Welcome!
The Right hand. 🤙🤙😎
Thanks
Always Lol
Seriously cool playing!
Thanks bra
I make my own acrylic powder & superglue fingernails for the sole purpose of playing country blues. They’re strong as hell and short enough to NOT be noticeable at all. I’ve done it for years now. 👍
Damn how do you make them, pls post a video or reply here.
Excellent. Great stuff, please do more 😊 thank you
I will!!
this is so cool...thanks a mill, brother...keep postin.
Oh dude thanks!
My nail was like that for literally years - thought it was permanent too - back to normal now though and I still play fingerstyle.
That gives me hope Lol
I’ve been listening to a ton of burnside recently. Appreciate your tips and totally feel ya on doing your own thing. Cheers brother
Thanks!
Love RL… love the blues full stop… blues was the reason I took up guitar.
Same here!
So true about copying the greats, we are all like rivers, we change all the time in a billion ways, and then all our contexts are infinite too, excellent video.
Thank you sir!
cool lesson bro. love ya teaching style. keep the rough edges hahaha
I’ll try Lol, thanks!
Brother, thank you for the amazing lesson! I really appreciate this!
Oh damn that’s great to hear! Cheers 🍻
Thank you
Yes dude
You've RL down pretty good the shuffle with your right hand is also very similar to John Fogerty at times. Well done great vidi thank you.
That’s a nice compliment thanks!
C'est magnifique

Ur funny Lol
Thank you so much Brother, great job.
You're welcome!
I had a friend of mine who played French Horn in a symphony... say"playing Blues is easy, just flat the 3rd."🤣
That’s funny, because in my head the 3rd is always flattened. I had almost forgot 😅.
Thank you so much brother
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Haha that's awesome, thanks dude just had a proper jam on my own.
Great video!!
Awesome!
Death, Deadly Good Lesson, Thank you so much from South Korea.
Awesomeness!
Great video. Sounds like it was hot as hell outside.
Maybe just a bit Lol
Can’t play a real Mississippi blues without sweatin your ass off in the sun
Another new subscriber here🇬🇧
Cool mannnn thanks!
do your own thing! love it.
Always!
What a great attitude
Glad to hear it!

Boom-chuck-Aa
I think might be a way of describing the right hand patter
Yeah for sure Lol
You rock dude! Can this be played on an electric guitar and if so can you demonstrate. Thanks
Dude, it’s literally that same thing Lol. Acoustic and electric play the exact same when it comes to rhythm. Lead is a different story…
Boomchuckaboomchuckaboom
Exactly!!!
Boomachuck boom boomachuck boom
Don’t you just love it?
Cool
Beans
Sub👊 I was up all night playing with this technique like you say there really is no thinking behind it just got to find your own way and eventually you will hear it Thank you You sound great 👊💪
Sweet!! I’m glad you did it!
Subscribed
Awesome to hear bro!
What a great chilled out tutorial, what time signature?
That is a question I cannot answer Lol.
Bro show us you guitar collection
One of these days 👀
Made me wants a j45
Go get one then! Lol
U gonna get a cheapo Sears electric guitar like RL used ? 🙃thanks for the lesson really cool
I wish I could afford one Lol
There were no RLs, Gentlemen ! There was just mister Robert Lee Burnside, Gentlemen !
I think his name is rule
Just visualize the big drive wheels on a steam locomotive trying to catch up to them little truck wheels up in front. Then keep it rolling.
That's the plan!
Thank you for the video! It inspired me to continue discovering blues..
The question is can you film the video about hand muting. It's a lot of that in here, but you told nothing about it
Hand muting? Be more specific, I’m all 👂’s
@@stanlymcstanlyson9156 Yeah, you're muting strings in the video, i suppose
Hey I’m just seeing this sorry. I’ll definitely make a vid on this soon.
Which song are you trying to emulate?
No song in particular!
Ok cool. I’m digging it.Thanks for making a video on this sound. BTW. What are you pumping through that Reverb behind you? Another video using the electric blues? Oh and what blues are you listening to?
Just the acoustic guitar I’m using in the vid. And with blues it’s Elmore James till I die haha
Burnside and Boyce are both great but Mississippi Fred McDowell is their daddy. There are performance videos showing his incredible right and left hand work in generating super powerful rhythms. And check out John Lee Hooker as well.
Love the sound of that guitar what is that? Gibson…?
I don’t know!! LOL
Cool. NC? What county?
No bro I’m from PA. But I’m gonna move south for sure!
Thanks Stanley, problem is I gave my Acoustic to my son and it might be a little different with an electric, lol. Peace 🕊️ buddy.
You should youtube
RL burnside brah 😊
It’s actually the same. Just turn the treble up on the amp and be a little more light with your touch.
Fantastic dude, what gauge strings do you use ? Thanks
I don’t know sir. But when I can I try to go as light as possible, especially for electric guitar. But that’s just me.
Great lesson! What tuning are you in? Thanks!
Standard!
I have trouble with counting this. 1 - E, 2 percussive down strum; 3 and .... slide and B string.......and ? It isn't three time. Seems like a missing 4? Or is it me?
Just count it like 1 and 2 1 and 2 1 and 2
@@stanlymcstanlyson9156 That simple! I was making a meal of it. Many thanks. 🇬🇧
sounds like rumba flamenco
😀👍
Nice gibson..
I love it too. I think I’ll name her Vanessa haha
I like your style - you east coast ?! Lol
Yeah Lol, what gave it away 😂
Standard tunning? Thanks...
@@куглаземаљска yes
On your first chuck strum are you muting the strings with your right hand?
No, I mute them by just resting my fingers over the fret board with my left hand.
@stanlymcstanlyson9156 Yeah, I meant the left. But the resting of the fingers was new. Cool, thanks
Is the tuning in G? Or standard?
Standard!!

I have a photo of his beautiful hands and long hard nails.
Are you in normal tuning or open G?
Normal tuning
Thanks. Just found your channel. I really dig it!
Standard tuning or?
Yessir, standard tuning!
Tunning?
Standard!
Tuning?
Standard!
A song in those sentences bro. No long ass finger nail blues or something in that fashion
The composition of one's fingernails is not genetic, but rather the result of the food and drink as well as what the body is exposed to environmentally. Good day, sir.
Interesting and good day to you too!
The groove of the song like you're doing has to be established before playing for a call and response otherwise it'd be like just playing scales.
Nice groove thank you
I don’t really understand what you mean sir, but thankyou very much for the compliment!
@@stanlymcstanlyson9156 when I play a call and respond. 1-4-5 in Em I play a few bars in E blues shuffle, stop play a lick something Em pentatonic
Ohhh gotcha… just seeing this btw
But a pretty good video
Taking flax oil orally, hardens finger nails.
That’s good to know holy crap!
Magic-thanks-looks like your bottom E is very loose-or am I imagining it
Ur just imagining it Lol, but that gives me an idea to make a video on an open tuning!
Except....you left the pure "hill country" vibe at 6.45 or so in the video.....there's no 1,4,5 in Hill Country.....just ride the root and add some flair.....there's no turn around Maestro....
Yes of course! But you gotta be able to combine all styles of music no matter what!
You’re not playing anything.
You’re*
Recording sound sucks. Go inside and do a retake.
@@ozgurkibar9778 Lol
I like your slowness in teaching. Wish you would do it without the vulgarity though. It's hard to listen to the entire video because of the cussing. It's very offensive and unprofessional.
Sounds like a guitar player and some kind of heavy brush on a snare drum. Cool
Nice observation. I agree Lol 😂
