Ever since I heard "Rainy Night in Georgia," and I found out who the guitar player was, I have been a fan of Cornell Dupree. In this episode, I give a bit of history and show some of his playing techniques, such as sixth, 4th's, and double stops, and how his choice of strings probably influenced his bending and tone.

Had the pleasure of seeing Cornell Dupre with King Curtis in the late 60’s. He was playing at LeCouque d’Or in Toronto when Ronnie Hawkins owned the club. What I remember most was a serious fight breaking out when a couple of drunks made some racial slurs at the band. My friend, who was a big, tough Scottish Canadian lad who loved R and B, took exception to these jerks and pretty much wiped the floor with these dudes. Ronnie sent drinks to our table for the rest of the evening and King Curtis thanked my buddy. True story.

[@AskZac]

One for the books!!!

[@markjohnson9485]

That is a great story!! Love it!

[@timothydaniels504]

We were actually pretty shocked to hear that kind of hateful talk. I was ashamed of my home town that night. My pal came through like a shining knight.

[@manuelsabin]

A full episode of Mayfield would be amazing!!!

[@eamondonahue5077]

Please keep doing episodes about soul and R&B players, there's a shortage here on KZbin. Can you do an episode on Hi Records players? Maybe Syl Johnson?

[@AskZac]

I’ll see what I can do

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

@ Eamon: Hey, great on you for knowing your R&B classics! Not just anyone knows about Syl Johnson! If you like his music then seek out two 1970s hard soul classic LPs: "Back for a Taste of Your Love" (1973), and "Total Explosion" (1975), both done for the Hi Label in Memphis. 1974's "Diamond in the Rough" is also very good, but IMO not up to the standard of the first two. Johnson, the brother of noted Chicago bluesman Jimmy Johnson, has moved freely between blues and soul/R&B during his career, and he is perfectly comfortable blowing the blues on his harp, as well as moving uptown for some sophisticated soul. Syl Johnson, to my knowledge, did not handle most of the guitar work on the albums above; his studio band did that. I'm referring to the legendary Hodges Brothers - Charles Hodges on organ, Leroy Hodges on bass, and Mabon "Teenie" Hodges on guitar. Either Al Jackson, Jr. or Howard Grimes on drums, plus the Memphis Horns. If piano was used, Percy Michael Allen was the man. Later in his career, when he'd returned to blues music, is when Syl Johnson began playing more guitar again. If this info is in error, by all means let me know... but that's the story far as I know. I've been a big S.J. fan from way back....

[@karljacobson6174]

Saw him in Washington DC. with the Stuff band in the mid 70's at the Cellar Door. Have a bunch of black and white photos of the band. The venue was almost empty but they played an amazing set. Should mention no vocals just amazing jams. Cornell and Eric Gale were just two great players who fed off of each other. Gordon Edwards on bass and Steve Gadd on drums and Richard Tee on keys.Remember it like it was yesterday. Got to talk gear with them and hang out after the show. Every one of those guys were so humble! They were also the band that backed up Hall & Oates first album Abandoned Luncheonette still love his playing on She's Gone.

[@donk9132]

Eric Gale was one of my all time favs back then......used to search for any album he put out.....him w Stuff was just excellent as well.....man those guys were just so good ......told a friend about Eric Gale recently and Eric Gales pops up......he's a monster on guitar but Eric Gale could ease into the tunes and squeezed the juice out of them so nice like.....at least to my liking !!

[@siscoismyhomey]

Stuff was an unstoppable groove machine. Their set from Montreux 76 is legendary.

In the wonderful Still Bill doco, which is on KZbin, Bill Withers gets up with Cornell Dupree right at the end for a killer version of Grandma's Hands. Cornell solos for a while with Bill watching from the audience. It's a great ending to a fantastic film.

[@AskZac]

I need to watch that

Great episode. One of Cornell’s greatest numbers is,”Blue Nocturne”, hits everything you discussed about his playing and tone. And yes to 10-38 round core strings.

[@georgenaha1001]

Thanks for putting together such a great video! I got to record once with Cornell, and I told him it was an honor and a privilege. He's one of my all time faves. He had one interesting right hand technique, lightly strumming his strings with the middle finger of his right hand while still holding the pick between his thumb and first finger. What a great, distinctive player he was. Thanks again for this great video, Zac!

Cornell and Steve Cropper both could do that “ Only one guitar needed” stuff. I love Cornell’s playing and didn’t know he played on Rainy Night in Georgia. Thanks so much for this Zac!

[@bunkymarkert4395]

Another R & B guy I was aware of back in the day, is David T. Walker. I may be mistaken but I recall reading that he played on the Marvelettes Motown hit, Hunter Gets Captured By the Game. Wiki credits the Funk Brothers but the guitar part is very distinctive. I was wondering if you knew for sure. Great episode. You are the perfect Covid-19 antidote.

I like the style your playing. When I play in Blues Jams, I like my Rhythms clean and my riffs dirty. When you have so many musicians up at once, you want to be heard. Even when everybody is playing loud.

[@acdeadpeople]

Hey Zac, went on an excursion and found that Fender is still making this string set. They're called the Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child strings. Trademark and everything.

[@AskZac]

They are not pure nickel with a round core, like the original. They are nickel plated, or pure on a hex core. I am sure they are cool strings though. I wanted to go all-the-way.

I had to laugh hard at myself toward the end of the video. In the beginning when you were playing in, I thought, wow that almost sounds like a Curtis Mayfield song he's playing. Then I realized what it was, and settled down. Curtis Mayfield was a major player back in the day. So glad you mentioned him as an influence on Mr. Dupree. Many thumbs up !

[@rhp52]

all those guys were influential, especially Reggie for me. Thanks ZAC. enjoyed it.

[@artisanmetalcraft]

Very nice! I wish I could have learned about these guys when I was 15 or 16 years old. I’m sure am thankful that you’re talking about this stuff now. It’s a blessing to not have to sift thorough the sands of time trying to find it little bits and pieces of mis information.

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

If you are talking about the late 60s or 70s, I would hear a player or rhythm section I really liked -- like Cornell Dupree, the Meters, or the Hi and Atlantic Records rhythm sections -- and just find all the albums they played on. It took research and a lot of time spent in record stores.

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

Fascinating discussion of 60s/70s string gauges.

[@b.rodclark7349]

Yeah i love that 'Donny Hathaway Live' album too especially 'Everything Is Everything' where everybody does their thing and i hear the Curtis Mayfield influence on 'Rainy Night In Georgia'. I like his double-tracked neck pickup bends on his instrumental 'Teasin' '...another great video!

[@clarkrichardson949]

Great show as always! "Watching The River Flow" from Steve Gadd's "Gadd Gang" record features Cornell stretching out on a blues shuffle, blending rhythm and lead as you mentioned. A class act all the way. And thanks for the tip on his book. Just ordered a copy!

Thanks for the shout out to a major player that is certainly an unknown guitar hero to many. The Tele sound straight clean through a Deluxe is heaven, especially on the neck pickup. My style all the way, just without the vintage gear.

[@boblydecker]

Great content Zac. I really look forward to learning something new each time.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

If you are a Cornell Dupree fan - and what serious guitar fan isn't? - then seek out an amazing under-appreciated gem from Dupree and friends from 1974, on Atlantic Records - namely, "Teasin'"... which features not only the amazing Cornell Dupree himself, but Chuck Rainey on bass, Bernard Purdie on drums, Richard Tee on keyboards, with Ralph MacDonald on percussion. Eric Gale handles rhythm guitar, and a horn section headed by David "Fathead" Newman. The LP is all instrumental, but believe me - once you hear it, you won't mind! If this record doesn't leaving you satisfied and wanting more, then you'd better check your pulse!

[@AskZac]

Its killer!

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

@@AskZac - It sure is! I've been a music fan even longer than a guitar player, and I have never run across any other album similar to "Teasin'"....and I've been collecting great recordings now for almost half a century. I've never run across a recording which so perfectly straddles the boundary between jazz, blues and R&B.

Whoa. I lived in Corpus Christi when I was around 3-5 yrs old. Around 84-86. My parents use to always go party at that house designed by what's his name? I can't recall but it's called 'The Pod House'. Has quartz and all sorts of "jewels" in the ceiling, a pool that, goes under the house. All, sorts of stuff. It was pretty cool even as a 4-5 yr old kid lol. Edit: I always heard it was Andy Warhol that designed it, IIRC. There's an article about it if you gogle the pod house. It's about 4 or 5 links down.

Yes! McCracken was just a fantastic player, along with Reggie and Cornell, with that soul/r&b feel. BTW, Hugh is at the top of his game on Gary Wright’s solo debut - Extraction. His playing made me sit up and take notice when it came out in 1970!

[@timothythompson2678]

Hey Zac, great episode. Some influential players are often somewhat overlooked by the guitar media. Something you may be able to ponder for a future episode is that compared to the various rock genres, there seem to be relatively few major bands in mainstream country music. When I say bands, I mean a (mostly) self contained unit rather than a duo or trio that uses studio and touring musicians. I'd like hear your thoughts on why that is, and maybe learn about some influential country bands

John Jorgenson is a gift to us all.

[@jfinester]

Timothy Thompson Except for a brief period in the ‘80s and into the ‘90s, country’s always been that way, artist and faceless backup band. Alabama started changing that, and in their wake came some really good bands like The Desert Rose Band, Diamond Rio, and Shenandoah. These days, it’s right back to star + backup band, and in a lot of cases it’s star + pre-recorded tracks. As a band guy all my life, I resent that attitude, that musicians are faceless interchangeable cogs at the bottom of the Great Music Machine. I’m convinced that what people really want is a pretty face up front, a bunch of pretty backup dancers in the back, and lots of flashing lights. Smoke and mirrors, that’s all it is.

[@bosslenz2766]

Zac, thanks a lot for this video. It was a real education. I guess the more you get into the guitar, this type of playing is an education in slickness that the average guitar player is unaware of. Until you get to the level that your playing is similar, then you can appreciate the vocabulary of the slick ones. The thing of it is that I've been listening to these songs for years and never really appreciated what the guitar players were doing until I got to certain level of playing myself. KZbin is a University in an of itself. As this is my first ASKZAC video, let me see what else I can learn from you! Once again, thanks.
