Twang says this has always been one of top guitar sounds. Watching the Great Holllywood Fats live playing this stuff was awesome. CHeck out some free blues guitar lessons over at truefire.
Many a guitar legend has cut their teeth and left their mark on the jazz-influenced blues style known as “West Coast Blues” (aka “jump” blues): Charlie Christian, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Albert Collins, Johnny Guitar Watson, Duke Robillard, Hollywood Fats, Little Charlie Baty are just a few. But T-Bone Walker is likely the genre’s definitive guitarist. Relocating from Texas to Los Angeles in the early 40′s, Walker’s “electrification and urbanization of the blues” and catalog of blues hits for Capitol, Black & White, and Imperial would “popularize the use of electric guitar in the form more so than anyone else.” T-Bone’s “distinct jazzy jump blues” feel – Texas blues with a pinch of bebop, a dash of rockabilly, and a whole lotta swing – would influence the music scene in California during the 1940′s and 1950′s with many other Texas bluesmen following the migration to the west coast. So many of the blues licks we play today, which we’ve copped from our current and previous generation blues heroes, are actually rooted back to jump and West Coast blues phrases – especially the tasty ones! We all pretty much agree that implying changes, as opposed to just blowing pentatonic runs, is what separates the men from the boys when soloing over standard blues changes. Implying changes, targeting tones, applying extensions are key elements of the West Coast style and good reason enough to study the genre. But …

Virtuoso acoustic wizard and fingerstyle master, Tim Sparks presents Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues, an insightful exploration of Early Americana Roots music and intensive fingerstyle study program for intermediate and advanced students. Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues covers Delta Blues, Country Gospel, New Orleans, Ragtime, Early Jazz and the most amazing version of “The Mississippi Blues” that we’ve ever seen performed or heard here at TrueFire. The tunes in this collection evoke a time when American Roots music crystallized and was transformed by the effects of recordings and radio. Some of these selections were written for guitar, others are adaptations from piano and jazz band arrangements. A long list of Roots Music fingerstyle guitarists particularly influenced the material covered in Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues; Duck Baker, Pat Donohue, Woody Mann, Steve James, Eric Lugosch, Eric Schonberg, Ernie Hawkins, Dakota Dave Hull, Phil Heywood, Guy van Duser, Lasse Johansson, Andy Ellis and Teja Gerken. Tim Sparks has been redefining the acoustic guitar repertoire since he won the US National Fingerstyle Championship in 1993 with a ground-breaking arrangement of Tchaikovskys Nutcracker Suite. Since then, Sparks has continued to surprise, challenge, and thrill audiences with his diverse repertoire and stunning technique. Equally at home within the Country Blues …

„Come Back To Me Baby” (A. Walker) Recorded: Chicago, December 19, 1945 T-Bone Walker (vcl) (g) Melvin Moore, Nick Cooper (tp), Nathan Joseph, Frank Derrick (as), Moses Grant (ts), Marl Young (p), unknown (b) (d) Walker was born on May 26, 1910 in Linden, Texas of African American and Cherokee descent. When he was a young man his family moved to a region of south Dallas known as Oak Cliff where he met and learned from Blind Lemon Jefferson, another blues musician. Walker’s recording debut was “Wichita Falls Blues”/”Trinity River Blues”, recorded for Columbia Records in 1929 under the name Oak Cliff T-Bone. His distinctive sound did not develop until 1942, when Walker recorded “Mean Old World” for Capitol Records. His electric guitar solos were among the first heard on modern blues recordings and set a standard that is still followed. [Some music historians cite Ernest Tubb's 1940 honky tonk classic, "Walking the Floor over You" as the first "hit" recording to feature and highlight a solo by a standard electric guitar--though earlier hits featured electric lap steel guitars. The blues master Lonnie Johnson had also recorded at least once on electric guitar, but his innovation was neither much noted nor influential.] Much of Walker’s output was recorded from 1946–1948 on Black & White Records, including 1947′s “Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)”, with its famous opening line, “They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday’s just as bad”. He followed up with his …

Neil Young My My Hey Hey Farm-Aid ’85
Twang Says ” Always love this song after I saw him play it live on acoustic before his band came out. He plays in down a step so tuned to a D instead of E and of course a great feel”
Tribute to Some great rock n rollers who met an untimely death. Also a bit of a tribute to the everlasting nature of rock n roll. “Often imitated, but never duplicated, Neil Young’s unique musical songwriting and playing style has influenced a generation of artists from Booker T. and the MG’s to Pearl Jam to Wilco. From alt-country to grunge, punk to alternative, rockabilly to heavy metal, blues to synth, a musical genre label will never apply to Neil and his music. An observer once wrote that “Young has always been a lone wolf – a musical chameleon, who changes his musical style and his band as often as most people change their shirt.” Crazy Horse bandmate “Poncho” Sampedro referred to Young’s musical polygamy as “a fact of life.” Here are links for special pages on Thrasher’s Wheat on Neil’s music, career, and influence. Neil Young Songs Songs like “Heart of Gold” from Harvest, Ohio, Powderfinger and Thrasher from Rust Never Sleeps and Keep on Rocking in The Free World from Freedom are beloved by his fans around the world. More on these classic songs and others. Neil Young’s Sound A collection of articles on Neil’s guitars, amps, whizzer and other equipment. Neil Young Albums Over the course of Neil’s long career stretching back to the early 1960′s and his work in Canada with The Squires, through the 70′s, 80′s, 90′s, and into the 21st century, he has produced major albums which both …
