I did take music lessons when I was younger, ironically enough flute and piano, not guitar!!! Then I taught myself to play the guitar and it was love a first touch! :-)
Absolutely wonderful! And that nylon string guitar suits the blues like nothing else. I wonder why so few blues players have realized the great blues potential in classical guitars
Man you really live and feel the blues while you're playin the guitar ! Would be a pleasure for me to play with you . The great bluesmen would be proud of you mate ; ) long lives the blues and keep on livin it up =)
This is the best version I ever heard... Fantastic. The picking is great, but when the sing comes, then that's incredible. All my friends are fans now ! :) Bravissimo !
If I could ever get even CLOSE to how well you play and sing, I would be out there in the world gigging live. I really think your sound is so good, and I appreciate your videos so much. Do you ever play & sing at live shows? Even if not, these videos of yours are really wonderful.
You`ve got such a beautiful, unique voice! I was planning on getting some things done tonight before going to bed, but I think I`m just gonna be listening to you play the blues all night.
Thanks for the compliment, mate...and by the way, little tip u may already know, with realplayer 11 you can download it and sync it to an mp3 player! :-) Peace
Thanks for the compliment!! And I agree, I'm not sure why ppl think the Blues has to be played on steel strings! I love classical guitards because I feel like they can play anything!! :-)
Right on mate!!!!..........Frank Stokes,Johnson,Belly etc etc.........those recordings are some of the finest recordings ever produced even with everything that has followed, it is those recordings from the 20's and 30's that have the most haunting emotional quality that still has not been surpassed. CHEERS
Hey there... Thanks for your compliments on my playing mate! :-) Yep, that's something I like to do a lot, playin the Blues on nylon strings...a different sound...a different control of the torsion of the strings...And also, yes, same guitar, same nylon strings on "Soon One Mornin"...:-)
Hehehe...thanks for the compliment Mara235...but I'm not Acadian..je suis Camerounais...et citoyen du monde...et ma mere avait mis le Blues dans mon biberon, je l'en remercie! :-) Peace
Hey Eric... Thanx for the compliment...I actually live in the States...in New Orleans for the past 5 years and now...in West Lafayette, Indiana...used to play monthly in an old and awesome Jazz coffe bar called "The Neutral Ground" check it out ppl if u go to Nawlins...well now I'm just wayyyy too busy to play live gigs...but I still wake up with the Blues and my guitar on my mind every morning! :-)
Tres Bien. I enjoyed it all from the first note to the lasting memory of this little ditty. Your guitar and vocal skills are equally outstanding. So, how long?
I did take music lessons when I was younger, ironically enough flute and piano, not guitar!!! Then I taught myself to play the guitar and it was love a first touch! :-)
That's how you know you are a (true) musician.
MAGIC, DIVINE, PROBABLY YOU'RE AT THIS TIME THE BEST BLUESMAN, IN THE PLANET.
You play it well,you play it brighter and happier than it's supposed to be. It's a lamentation.
Thank you, and I agree. Somehow though, the blues brings the happy in me, and I get carried away! 😊
great playing, even greater voice. you could do this for a living.
I'd pay to see this brother sing and play......ROOTS!.....
I appreciate that! Thank you! :-)
I'm listening over and over to this version of yours...so nice and blue and laidback. Thanks for sharing.
A true Bluesman.
