The poet Wallace Stevens said: "Every image is a restatement of the subject of the image in terms of an attitude". So in music. Where the image is the melody, the chords, the modulations. But as in poetry, in music we also look for “the terms of an attitude”.

Your comment is very hard to understand but I’ll quote in jest Muhammad Ali when Howard Cosell remarked to him he was “less truculent” before a certain bout. Ali said, “I don’t know what truculent means but if it’s good, I’m it.”

What kind of Capo is that? Just Curious? Whoever does the mixing of your songs does an excellent job.

@jlstilesmusic Ай бұрын

Thanks. There was no mixing as this is just an iPhone video and sound with a little external usb mic sitting on the desk 🤷🏽. The mic is a little better than the iPhone mic maybe but the advantage is I could lie it a little closer on the desk. I didn’t use a capo but the guitar is a blue ridge parlor about 2012.

I’m smiling to make your acquaintance again Mr Stiles. It been a poor summer so far here in London but it’s a hot night at last. You could say it’s a hot time in the old town tonight but that would only be a queue for a song - and a good one at that when played by you! Greetings from London. 😎

I really love this version. JL can you help me out? What are the three chords you play at "staying alone and doing the best I can"...

@jlstilesmusic Ай бұрын

It goes to the B7 as you know, and the part in question is G diminished, which is like an F# 7 and back to B7 etc. This is a standard rag blues progression-goes to the 5 chord like when a blues does but then goes 2-5 (half measure each) back to the 1 instead of 4 back to the 1. In E, the 2 is an F#, the 5 is B, the 4 is an A. Note I’m playing in open E-EBEG#BE on guitar, which lends itself so well to this. The G dim I play has fingering on fret 2 on 5th, fret 3 on 4th, fret 2 on the 3rd.

OMG you even nailed the syncopation bit, that's a rarity I don't think I ever saw but only heard when Blake did it on the track. Fantastic performance bro!

@jlstilesmusic Ай бұрын

Thanks-He jumps quickly with thumb from 6th to 4th string I realized and he also still plays a basic two beat but sneaks the thumb in to hit the high notes so as to create a half time feel.

Sing's en play's as John Hurt. I loved that bluesman sinds I was 16 I'm 60 now, thank you sire, most sincerely. When I was 15 I saw JB Hutto and the slide winders in a verry little theater, only 3, an drummer, an bass player en the master of the slide guitar Mr. Hutto. I can still rember that night every moment as like in an dream, but it is not an dream, it really happened

I try to get his nuances as he always made great choices-vocally as well but as we know, Mississippi John hurt is pretty inimitable! I look to take some of his essence into my own music be it blues and folk or not.

Your good. Your playing and singing are amazing. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel. I have spent time learning Mississippi John hurt, Robert Johnson, Doc Watson, and Skip James. I have not listened to much Blind Blake but all your covers of him are amazing. I'll have to check his stuff out.

@jlstilesmusic Ай бұрын

Blake is the most inimitable in my opinion. I mainly learn him not as an end but rather to assist in my own songs because his thumb rolling is very versatile in realms afar from blues and yeah, he’s freakin magic, great lyricist too and very underrated singer
