This is absolutely precious resource. I was doing the research about “What is Lump” and you are the only person who explained Lump musically. Thank you.
@@JohnnyBurginBlues What does it mean “Lump” in English? According to some dictionary it says… “a compact mass of a substance, especially one without a definite or regular shape” or “a person who is heavy and awkward”. Where did the name “Lump De Lump” come from? Excuse me to post a random question. Thank you.
@@JohnnyBurginBlues Thank you very much for your kind answering. Interesting! It's slang for Chicago Blues musicians. The reason why I was curious about this is that my blues guitar teacher (in Kyoto) taught me the concept "Lump"(I was not sure it's Rump or Lump or Ramp or Lamp because they are all same in Japanese). And he explained that it's named from "sheep's walking rhythm", but I was suspicious about the meaning. Then I started the research about Lump but there is almost no clue. I found one explanation by Shunsuke Kikuta but it doesn't say anything about meaning. Then I arrived here. Just a slang is more reasonable for me than sheep's walking rhythm. Thank you so much!
@@JohnnyBurginBlues Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/ef9dzOSXsMY/v-deo.html I first saw / met him on my birthday when he played at The Law Office; he simply blew my mind. Was supposed to start taking lessons from him, but very unfortunately he passed away just a few weeks after that concert.
@@JohnnyBurginBlues Thanx mang... My Sherry Amor is a mk II Korea w/ impossibly fat gold pups and a halfway to harmonica bridge. She may be out did but never out done (!) Know anyone in the Los Angeles Koreatown area that wants to jam a bit?
Thanks, Johnny!!! This is amazing music and amazing and engaging presentation. I learned a lot! Although I knew about "lumps" (without that name), it does me a lot of good to remember the "why" behind all of it and to "unlearn" the box I paint myself into sometimes.
Great as always Johnny. i can't help but tap my foot everytime i hear the lump de lump. One day while playing around at home on guitar it occured to me that i was doing my lump the up down way, ocasionally throwning in just a down, i have no idea when or how i started doing this, but it must of being a while ago as if i try doing just down strokes within seconds i'm back to up down, so its well and truely ingrained. Maybe i should practice more lol as there are so many variations to explore.
Yep-- you can work up to it-- start with Bflat, work down to G, then F over time. and make your 2nd finger comfortable, stretch backwards w the first finger to F, and out with the pinky on the A string, good luck!
@@JohnnyBurginBlues Hello Johnny, since someone mentionned "Honky Tonk" by Billy Buttler, I believe it could be a real discovery to many "young" guitar player (i'm 62 😊) if you would show us how to play some tricky parts. I think especially to the end (i.e after the sax solo, there a break and the whole beat contains difficulties hard to catch). Just an idea for you. Keep goin' to dig that mine full of old gold standards. Thanks a lot for what you do for Chicago Blues lovers all around the World (Kind regards from France).
hi jhonny, you are very good at chicago blues guitar, i want info on guitar strings to use for chicago blues music please tell me the size and brand? example daddario 12 52 chromes nickel wound half round? hy
thanks a lot Marco! I use GHS 10 guage, sometimes nickel rockers or burnished nickesl which are a little darker but often just straight up Boomers. I actually have an endorsement deal wtih GHS, and they are great to work with. but d'addarios are great too, it's not THAT important, you can make any decent string work
@@JohnnyBurginBlues I have a very important question to ask in 1950 what size of strings did the bluesmen use? example john lee hooker, john brim mauddy waters hound dog taylor, jimmy reed etc etc what kind of guitars were there at the time? I am a 20 year old Spanish boy and I study at university, I like the blues guitar and I am a beginner, I am doing research on the strings that the old bluesmen used
Hi VW, usually I am just using my Fender Deluxe reissue. For this lesson, I used a Spectrum battery amp device, uses a 9V, you can get one for 25$ or so
Johnny is one of the best electric blues instructors, since he is teaching the “feel” of the blessing!
thanks so much OPN road!
Absolutely! The importance of learning and re-learning the basics cannot be overstated! Thanks for another great lesson...
Cheers de cheers Johnny
Thanks Johnny you're keeping me sane in a mad bad world 🌎

High praise indeed!
Great lesson in my neck of the woods we call this a March or maaaach.

thanks alot Paul! there are a LOT of great lump patterns.
What if you are required to do the lump-de-lump in F, a la "Honky Tonk"? That's quite a stretch if you haven't got huge hands.
Yep-- you can work up to it-- start with Bflat, work down to G, then F over time. and make your 2nd finger comfortable, stretch backwards w the first finger to F, and out with the pinky on the A string, good luck!

@@robertbidochon2713 yes Honky Tonk is in the pipeline! it's one of those songs everybody USED to play and it'll always be a great song.
A 45 min shuffle. That made me laugh, unbelievable!!!
OK guilty of slight exageration!
No no, I meant it in a good way, I miss being on stage playing a shuffle for 45 minutes! Love your videos, the latest lightin’ one is really bad a**!
