Born In Chicago - Mike Bloomfield - Paul Butterfield Blues Band - Guitar

[@Jonathan-L]

Wow, note for note! Mike Brookfield nailed it!

[@bloozswami]

Very nicely done. This inspires people to stretch out on the board. I was in college 1967, I met a fella that "note for note" learned the entire album perfectly. Fantastic player. He taught me three cords. Still playing them. everyday. I play blues on stage. Can't stop. Saw Bloomfield early on. Magical on stage. Saw him jam with B.B. King and Al Kooper. Magical. I listen to this album weekly. The natural talent from these young men explodes. Miss them all.

[@momo1momo]

Righteous! One of the greatest albums of all time! Great work, thanks!

[@stevemiller1203]

Nice job! Mike Bloomfield was kind of the first "guitar hero" for me growing up in the '60s.

[@topoftherock3628]

I listened to the whole album after watching. This is the very best track on the Album IMO. Thanks heaps for the lesson !

[@DucksDeLucks]

Very nice playing! Since I first bought it in 1967 or 68 in NYC I have regarded this album as the American Beano album as you put it. Time is proving our judgment correct!

[@axecalibore]

Mega excellent. Sounds like Bloomfield and I love watching how he did it.

[@johnlarkin1752]

Great playing you nailed it! Thank you

[@steadyrm]

Sounds great through the P90's Ahhhhhh Yea!

[@robw9986]

Lovely tone on that. There was always a lot of emotion in Bloomfield's playing.

[@tallogden1732]

Brookfield doin' Bloomfield!! Love It... More please!!!

[@1ringa]

Great! It's great that you know it and can do it!

[@AntarblueGarneau]

Saw Butterfield Blues Band with Mike Bloomfield my first time at the Fillmore Auditorium in 1966!!! Blew my f..k mind!!! I bought the vinyl first LP. That was a very popular album in 1966-67 and it left many blues bands in it's wake in SF bay area! You nailed it! Thx

[@djas1840]

Thanks Gramps!........and I'm the next generation of gramps! I got cramps! Wish I could have been there, but I was breast feeding. I was born in Chicago in 19 and 61....5

[@jono4708]

Antarblue .. I saw this line up at the cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village in '66 which is basically the basement of a Brownstone. Saw them about five or six times in that place. one week Zappa and the Mothers of Invention were playing upstairs in a small theater next door . great time and place for music. That album is my Sergeant Pepper's. I would like to see Mike do a channel dedicated just to Bloomfield lessons. Keep rockin Gramps.

[@franklmac]

I was there too Antarblue! . I was already an aspiring blues guitarist from San Antonio when I left for San Francisco. And yes the band blew me away too. When I hear Bloomfield on that stage I knew I had a lot of work to do. This band changed my life!

[@duffysullivan2794]

I had that first Butterfield LP in 1966 too! When they came to the bay area I went to see them in Berkeley. Some local band I never heard of called the Jefferson Airplane opened for them.

[@piersharrison7324]

Love this - my favourite album Please, please do some more tracks from the album - so useful for an ageing guitar learner

[@markhorton1718]

This is too cool, Mike!! I was listening to this album a few days ago, and here you are playing it!! Keepin' a Good Thing Burnin' !!!

[@hellskitchen10036]

I've never stopped listening to this album since 65, lol

[@rhmayer1]

Just LOVE those old ES-330TD's. What a beauty you've got. What a sound, with the P-90 single coil pickups and the true hollow body (without the solid maple block down the center like the 335's).

[@johnhickey2128]

Bloomfield's guitar style on the first Butterfield album is fantastic! That's an understatement to say the least. I enjoyed your efforts in doing this video. Again, much appreciated!

[@buddyollie180]

I love this album! you should also do a lesson on this one!

[@BurlingtonUncleSam]

Awesome! Few can copy Bloom note for note.

[@calliope6991]

Chicago is truly the home of the blues!

[@jimmyjames9752]

Yep

[@spwb2k]

Worthy!

[@Imthesandman1]

Currently reading "Guitar King" and this popped up. Had to watch, beautifully done thank you for bringing Michael's sound life

[@johnhickey8429]

Ya might be interested in reading the book, (Michael Bloomfield, if You Love These Blues). It's authors are Jan Mark Wolkin, and Bill Keenom. Miller Freeman Books. First published in 2000. Wonderful insight found in this book. Thanks

[@frankdardano3182]

No humbuckers playing a 335! You nailed a telecaster sound with a Gibson hollow body good job,mate.

[@joedonlan2979]

Awesome! You nailed it!

[@reggiechavez1747]

Excellent!

[@megaHARLEYMC]

You are the only one on youtube that fully nails it nicely note to note and chord to chord. Thanks for sharing! Now I'm able to play it on my guitar.

[@jimmyjames9752]

Excellent!!!

[@dc43tokyo]

Thank you, well done. Such GREAT music.

[@bertwest]

Good job. Thank you.

[@cuellar23]

Great lesson. Thanks for posting!

[@tonymckenzieofficial]

Great playing. This reminds me of my first stuff on a guitar - and I can thank Happy and Artie Traum who made a book with flexidisk with this sort of backing etc. Very similar style but of course more basic than that shown here. Thanks for the post (and to Jerry Jah for pointing me to it.

[@phillair3813]

Very good camera work! You make it easy to see finger placement and moves. Thanks

[@curtahnlund3758]

Very good playing, thank you!

[@riffdigger2133]

I’ve overlooked the album. Thanks for the nudge.

[@riffdigger2133]

Some of bootlegs on YT are very interesting as well, of late...

[@DoesItDoom]

All your song demos / lessons are outstanding.

[@jjtaylor6380]

Great job!

[@penzils94]

More bloonfield, Mike? Hes very underrated

[@guccioFTW]

[@jamesball5743]

That was dope!

[@wogfahov]

Great job as always, Mike.

[@seank997]

awesome video

[@ew6629]

You are amazing!

[@johnmowbray8498]

If you’re looking for guitar lessons on classic blues/rock songs, look no further than Mike Brookfield! Thanks Mike.

[@duffysullivan2794]

Pretty darn good! Let me know when you get some more songs done. I want to see how Mike slides down that E string on Shake Your Money Maker. I Got a Mind To Give Up Living on East West is also a must do!

[@rhmayer1]

LOVE East West.

[@RobHollanderMusic]

Nice job, buddy.

[@daviddoyle4516]

You nailed it Mate!!! Well done ,,, well done,,,keep it up,,,!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

WOW.

[@uranella67]

great upload

[@jelmeralbert5365]

Amazing play-along Mike! Can you do Shake Your Moneymaker please ? PBBB version please :)

[@danielclergeau5504]

génial !!encore!!

[@notrightinthehead8515]

Well done man!

[@jimiaxe]

I'd have to add Peter Green's work with Mayall and the Bluesbreakers as being in the same class as Bloomfield and Clapton of that era.

[@Mike-hq2yb]

This is fucking sick, thank you.

[@ieldepiel]

Thx for this

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

Nice! I will send you a check for $100 for Mike’s solo on “Mellow Down Easy”. Subscribed!

[@frankgoodwell1261]

Nice work! I play all the Butterfield harp stuff...what part of the world do you live in?

[@mikebrookfield]

Dublin Ireland

[@frankgoodwell1261]

San Diego is a long way from Dublin...but I'd love to go back there some day!@@mikebrookfield

[@speedfreakjive8843]

Hey! Beautiful playing, you really nailed Bloomfield's feel. I was wondering what kind of guitar that is? Is it a 335 with p90s? Or a 330?

[@mikebrookfield]

It’s a 1967 Gibson 330.. thanks

[@mjl.9-19]

Awesome. Are you playing over or did you isolate the guitar out and just play? Either way its awesome how you nail those leads. Its like when you fantasize playing the lead, on a song you've idolized, and seeing you do it, its like a double mirror fantasy ! That said I realize that iconic lead is pretty simple, and I guess thats the genius of it all... the phrasing and other elements of a great song.

[@mikebrookfield]

I think I just played along with the track.. thanks

[@Molt408]

This was written by Nick Gravenites...you should be crediting him!

[@ibrasoetandyo728]

Do a full tutorial please Mike.

[@MADguitar]

👍

[@djas1840]

nice job lad. I got my gun!s

[@ibrasoetandyo728]

Do shake your money maker please

[@lamper2]

I think the Yardbirds For Your Love LP is a way hotter guitar album than BEANO . yeah I know it's not an "official" album but just listen to that purple masterpiece!

[@chrisgrant4720]

consolation for air guitarists?

[@sheilafitzgerald9776]

Nice u rock. you look like willem dafoe. the Actor

[@danielstoddart]

The video and music seem like they're not synced

[@marcusedell279]

Bitchin!

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

Good - so many of these attempted Bloomfield tutorials miss the boat.

[@recordguy4321]

This is the "BEANO album? I know that he was putting that in the same category to the first butterfield but please, Mayall and clapton were junior league to butter and bloomfield . Nice playing

[@DucksDeLucks]

Oh c'mon. Bloomfield himself in a Rolling Stone interview talked about Clapton's 'perfect attack' and how great he was. Why play this put-down game? It's anti-social.

Pretty good... but, you need a Tele to nail that early Mike Bloomfield sound.
