Welcome to the channel!

This is fantastic! I'd be happy with 12 bars of different Bloomfield every week!

I’ve seen mike bloomfield in Chicago when i was young at least 10 times, unreal how he mixed blues with other styles-one of the best ever

[@dougshankle7946]

I literally just listened to the Super Sessions for the very first time last week all the way through. I don't know how it slipped past me but wow what incredible playing!

[@timothydaniels504]

The weird thing about that album was Mike Bloomfield more or less disappearing before the album was even finished. There was a lot of speculation about who he would end up playing with. Some bands lasted for about a week in those days. Great album though.

@@timothydaniels504 Never knew that!!

[@timothydaniels504]

@@dougshankle7946 it’s pretty sad actually. He drifted in and out of the music scene after that. Somewhere on KZbin there’s a biography about him. He and Paul Butterfield both had short lives. Butterfield was a heavy drinker and Bloomfield was bi- polar, I believe. The first Butterfield album was maybe the most influential electric blues album ever, in my opinion. Cheers!

Loved Mike with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Thanks so much for this and I'm definitely excited about this new series.

You are not the only one...

[@dancher7640]

And may I suggest my main man Freddie King. He came to epitomize funky blues groove, and could say so much with so few notes. His phrasing, his bends…lucky to have seen him 3 times in the early ‘70’s. 🙏

[@dancher7640]

His solo on “Me and My Guitar” illustrate how a true master can use the same 3-4 notes yet be so expressive and SAY SO MUCH.

[@J.M.Stigner]

great series this, thanx

[@dancher7640]

Yea! Loved your funk and soul lessons for years; this is gonna be great!

[@jimbeaux4988]

Some real tasty little nuggets in there. I never really tried that bend from a half step below the root in blues. I need to work on that.

[@MegaElvisd]

"Stop" off the Super Session has some boss licks.

[@mraggrovator]

Brilliant

Thank you!

What brand pickups and guitar is that

[@TastyGuitarcom]

this is a Russell Fong, with Joe Barden Danny Gatton pickups. Russell is a student of mine who builds handmade guitars is California

[@michaelknowles2700]

Don't tease me bro! Who are the other artists/solos you will review?

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Haha I have no idea yet, make a suggestion

[@michaelknowles2700]

Thanks for the quick reply --two come to mind immediately. 1. There are a few tutorials on BB King's intro to "The Thrill is Gone" from Live at Cook County Jail. I'd like you to analyze his solo from 2:30 to 2:58 on that performance. 2. George Benson soloing on "This Masquerade" from the studio album. From 4:00 to 5:03. Each solo leaves space and swings mighty hard.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

@@michaelknowles2700 thanks for the suggestions, I'll check out the Thrill is gone solo, This Masquerade is awesome but not a 12 bar blues form so no can do for this

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

[@nathansterrett3054]

He has videos on it if you browse down through them. Such a cool guitar!
