"When you're playing by yourself, which a lot of you will be" He knows me so well

[@honormyynti4088]

Painful truth 😅

[@user-xl4wo9gf8z]

Lightnin' job. Your body language and slow, reassuring instructions are emblematic of Jam Play quality. The camera work is first-class, first-string and first rate.

[@purewt1644]

I love teachers like this. So detailed, and so detailed in the areas nobody ever talks about. I wish this guy lived in my town

[@cottonwoodslim3497]

I like the way he took his time to give details. I'm at the level I need that.

[@insaneguitarfrettet]

i love the blues

[@GNeuman]

Excellent lesson, thank you!!

[@GRANDADTOM69]

Great lesson. The inset screens are a real help thanks

[@jackjackson5886]

Lol. "If you're playing by yourself, and most of you WILL be." The punch line of all blues players

[@emadismusic]

Yeah, but that isn't what I meant, of course!

[@PAD939]

But it is true

[@samsoniteeee]

that guitar is absolutely gorgeous.

[@rghunnicutt]

thanks, nice lick

[@twistinmemelons]

I now got da blues man! thanks

[@emadismusic]

Thanks, Dave.

[@llamov]

Very cool Gibson.

[@tellmeitsnottaken]

Man.... This guy is a badass

[@LoveRackett]

thank you!!!!

[@emadismusic]

@sonicredline We tune our guitars regularly (with our tunes, an with octaves) for every video we do. That guitar is also in perfect working intonation.

[@Cougar139tweak]

Lightin Hopkins!...... and subscribed...

[@jamplay]

Glad you liked it! Now with the quarantine happening, we do multiple live lessons and concerts every week!

[@gvanha41]

Awesome Guitar!! I have the same one

[@Billybobsammyjo]

[@javadude54]

That is one purty guitar.

[@shabs124]

I LOVE YOU DUUUUUUDE!!!!! ANY MORE LIGHTNIN HOPKINS? please??

[@shitfaced1312]

that guitar is so damn awesome

[@road2apples]

si,bueno!

[@UnceBobTouchedMe]

@ericmadis53 thanks mate :) and what do you think, are the Seymour Duncan Mh-3 mini hums better than the P90's for playing the blues? (with a little overdrive included too :P )

[@ericsmadis]

They're great pickups. I don't have a guitar with those pickups anymore, but I am still looking to put them in something else one of these days.

[@paulthebassguy]

anyone know where i can find videos similar to this but move from one point to the next in a quicker fashion? thanks.

[@kernalkorn]

Try putting extra light strings on your acoustic. You'll get a thinner tone but it will be easier to do this kind of stuff.

[@funguy4utube]

I hear a piece of the Doors "Love Me Two Times Babe" in there ... killer song

[@DrHogfan]

@WatchingMamut is it an ES-175?

[@WatchingMamut]

wow, what Gibsol model is that?

[@elgabo0000]

I liked your guitar... jejejeje

[@UnceBobTouchedMe]

can someone tell me, are those p90's pickups? and if they are, where can i find metal tops for them

[@ericsmadis]

Those are not P-90s. Those are mini-humbuckers, which fit into the same space as P-90s. Those guitars (ES-135) came with P-100 pickups, which were a stacked humbucker. I didn't like them, so I replaced them with Seymour Duncan mini humbuckers.

[@emadismusic]

No, they are both great. The P90s are a little nastier sounding, which is cool for the blues, but the mini-humbuckers have many good qualities of both P90s and full sized humbuckers. Very versatile.

[@emadismusic]

@UnceBobTouchedMe No, They are Seymour Duncan MH-3 mini-humbuckers.

[@petrektek1385]

Love me two time babe.... Love my twice today! It came from here for sure.

[@cheezew1zz]

Watch this video on youtube: The Blues Accordin' to Lightnin Hopkins. Its a documentary of sorts but its all music. Enjoy! :D

[@skok58]

Yeah. . . wait up!

[@stratdude92]

[@heymynameistyler]

[@jenshindelang520]

Gibson ES135 from 1992

[@Musicmanuk94]

[@hendrixlp1970]

This comment just made me laugh so hard. I'm literally crying...

[@DaHooomie]

haha!

[@lifelongitch]

What country are you from? Tell us a bit about yourself.

[@minuteman5369]

I didnt see him use his thumb any, totally different style.

[@ericsmadis]

Yes, I agree. This was part of an electric, urban blues series on Jamplay.com. The focus here was not country blues, so I was not teaching the Hopkins style here. Just some of his licks in this other context. I do have a fingerstyle series with Jamplay though.

[@jennolund]

@surelite pause the video...

[@nolazabal]

never forget the father of all Robert Johnson

[@santamattackk]

Son Seals

[@grunntalll]

well just pause the video lol

[@josecamp45]

first mexican to post comment

[@francymj98]

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@JayBlackBird]

Is it my imagination or is his D-string out of tune?

[@37terraplane]

What kinda jerk needs to be taught that?! Haha

[@MassimoAlberto]

First ... Hopkins Play with finger . 2 fingers Second listen a texas blues, you'll see that has nothing to do with you teach

[@ericsmadis]

Yes, I agree with you. However, I do play and teach the Hopkins (Texas) style, but that was not what I was doing in this series. This was part of an urban, electric blues series at Jamplay.com. I have a fingerstyle series with them also.
