FULL POST w tab: su.pr David Hamburger – truefire.at Over the years Ive had the pleasure of teaching at various workshops in the company of some fabulous blues guitarists, including Paul Rishell, Steve James and Duke Robillard, among others. Ive always soaked up as much as I could from these experiences, realizing early on that as long as no one who was paying me to teach realized just how much I was actually learning myself, I was pretty much sitting on so much velvet. The thing Ive always envied about these guys is their hands-on connection to the past. Steves got stories about backing up Furry Lewis onstage in Memphis in the early 70s. Duke told me once how he got called up to sit in with Muddy Waters, while Freddie King was already onstage too, and Freddie proceeded to glower at Duke the entire time for messing with his own Muddy moment. "And Freddie was a big guy!" laughed Duke. But the best of all are Paul Rishells stories about backing up Howlin Wolf in Boston, also in the early 70s. After one session, one of the other musicians asked Wolf if he had any words of wisdom for a young, up and coming bluesman. Wolf looked the afrod and dashikid guitarist up and down and growled, "Yeah! Throw them pedals in the river on the way to the barber shop!" So I wish the things I am about to tell you, I learned from hanging with Robert Lockwood Jr., sitting in with Roosevelt Sykes, and catching Magic Sam at his incendiary Ann Arbor Blues Festival appearance in the <b>…<b>

Hi I wish you success
Great lesson..I like the way you verbalize almost everything you do while you’re doing it and repeating a few things as you go. As you may already know, a lot of folks have their guitars in their laps while they are following you. It gives the student time to try each section before you go to another….Can you talk a little about the right hand fingering you and other folks use. I can’t see your ring finger but are you using it a lot in your blues style? What did Johnson use?
brilliant!! thank you so much!!!!!!!
Hey you taught this old dog a new trick or two. Thanks!
