Seriously, Robert Johnson sold his soul for this stuff and we get it for free... how can there be dislikes?

[@FOBrienK10]

paul neale you get dislikes from soul-less Christians

[@grantwhite4201]

+Francis Kane Or just by fuckin morons, mate. A lot of different people dislike things because their jealous, sad excuses for humans.

[@ronj9448]

+paul neale Clever!

[@Mauitaoist]

You're a kind-hearted man helping us all get back to the roots of Blues Robert Johnson's fantastic I've never found anyone that could actually help me learn it until now

[@MrAppalachia]

[@bluegrassrootstv]

I nominate this clip for best guitar lesson ever. For free. Thanks Tom. Jack

[@sbigglesby]

I'll second that nomination! Outstanding.

[@grumpygroman]

[@yourliver1]

I eight that nomination with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

[@jitblues]

Thanks a lot Tom. You help to keep Mr. Johnson's music alive. Rest in peace,Robert Johnson.

[@messiahsez]

Sir. You are the best guitar teacher i know of. Thanks.

[@bram19502]

+messiahsez lol you here watched alot of your videos

[@SandyHookFalseFlagOP]

You messiahsez are my favorite guitar player

[@sempercompellis]

could not agree with you more; just right amount of explanation suggesting he knows his students/audience and doesn't go into explaining every little detail- great teacher

[@Crashoverall]

i dig your youtube channel man, nice to see you here

[@davidkless9131]

Messiahsez's KZbin channel is really really good. Get up, get your coffee, and watch one of his videos. Any video will have hidden gems in it.

[@lilSnubby]

This is one of the best finger picking blues lessons I've seen - and I've seen a lot. Excellent

[@justinguitar]

That really is pretty awesome!!

[@clintonagboregbe5676]

Oh my, this just wonderful! I like the way you pick the strings man.

[@clintonagboregbe5676]

I like the progression. it was indeed splendid!

[@hanksenpai9125]

+JustinGuitar please teach us this

[@ferganzo1]

Well done.

[@hanksenpai9125]

Ken A lmao i don't remember writing that but i think i just did it to suck up to Justin .

[@toneloke7489]

Amazing how Robert Johnson was able to play with an element of percussion, bass, rythm, and lead, simultaneous in his playing making it sound like more than one person is playing, way ahead of his time

[@ordinarychap1085]

And sing...

[@Takeharuification]

Thank You Sir! I learned the song and actually went to an open mic session and I freaking NAILED IT thanks to you!

[@MrAppalachia]

thats awesome, hope ya filmed it brother

[@cosmicsprings8690]

Olmec Head is right dude..carry on

[@nathaniel.7172]

Now get preachin blues, nice though brother

[@titchner211c]

Feldmann is not a performer to me, but he is the best teacher on KZbin!! He is an outstanding teacher. I have learned so much from him. He is great!!

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

I watch this at work with no guitar. I must get home soon...

[@Poliphile2010]

dont go home you ll have to work

[@matemorpheus3683]

I was like that too but i realized that that i suck :D maybe a few months later i'll get back to this :D

[@fuckwithfire5313]

@@matemorpheus3683 nah, it's the time you put into guitar playing.

[@MuireannBradley]

Holy crap man!!!! I've listened to RJ's complete recordings at least once a week for the last 25 yrs, & been tryin to play these tunes for all those years, some I'm happy with like my Versions of the Spanish tuning songs, some I'm not so happy with ie: my versions of the standard tuned songs, I've bought quite a few books, audio lessons, & video lessons over the years. I got something from some, but very little from most. You have just nailed every sound in every bar of this tune!!

[@andrewcorbett5729]

Seeing Johnsons compositions played makes me love his music even more

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

Fantastic lesson, thank you so much. I feel like I have learned more in the last 25 minutes than I have in the previous 25 years. You have got me addicted to the guitar once again, no more picking it up now and then, no more doing anything else, now that I can play this song the way that Robert Johnson played it I'll probably never watch the T.V. ever again. Thank you, God bless you.

[@TheAto2000]

I guess KZbin is making me revisit songs I tried to learn back when I was struggling to get good on guitar .Glad to have learned this back in early 2016

[@martam518]

You just feel the blues. I hear people playing the guitar but I can tell they just read notes, You really feel it. I love to learn blues. Old style dirty blues.

[@harryharrison4749]

That's THE best instructional video I've come across. First class.

[@rbmrsh]

I am so impressed with your teaching; it's top quality and clear throughout; you sing the blues beautifully too!

[@Jamminmotorking]

Whoever hit the dislike button on this lesson must be jealous of this dude. Thank you you've gave me some new stuff to work on.

[@juiellineau]

I would've gladly paid for this amazing lesson-thank you Tom. I'm learnin' Robert Johnson, whew holy shit, I sound great thanx to Tom.

[@kengel214]

Should check out his whole lesson, dude teaches every RJ recording note for note, around 5 hours. Stuff is awesome

[@neilsthepoet]

Finally... something “complicated” But broken down simply..!! Bravo

[@junkyardvillain]

You are a natural teacher Tom and parlor guitar is sweet. Thank you for sharing

[@jonatanring7146]

Not only a great lesson, but also one of the best blues playing and singing i have ever heard! Fantastic work! :)

[@paulhamrick801]

Tom, can't thank you enough for this lesson!! You've opened up my mind. I'm so grateful to all the talented black men who gave us a piece of their souls through their music & their culture!

[@Plikten]

That was a masterpiece of improvisation and one of the best lessons I have ever seen

[@michaelthomas9164]

Just thought I would let folks know that Tom and Stefan graciously post these videos to help folks get a start on these styles and techniques. But please remember, ultimately they make part of their living selling their instructional videos. I have a half dozen including Tom's , Stefan's and John Miller's all from Guitar Workshop. They are all Excellent like this lesson.When you think of what you get compared to in person lessons the prices are extremely reasonable.

[@clowntrooper61]

The hardest thing is that continuous bass line with the thumb while finger picking

[@minemilx2702]

Agreed

[@quepelotubo]

And keeping the bass muted while letting the other strings ring

[@patrickfoster4586]

Yep, but keeping that boogie going on the bass strings was essential for playing the "juke joints" and earning a living back then. This was literally the dance music in countless little pubs across the South. I'm really thinking the whole 'keeping the rythym going with the thumb while playing lead with your other fingers' is what he sold his soul for. Lol.

[@gtnsteve1]

Take a look at Richard Smith's videos or/and those made by Tommy Emmanuel. The trick is to disconnect the thumb from the fingers. You are playing with 2 instruments, and occasionally the thumb of the left hand curling around the neck. Not to mention plucking with the left hand. 'Taint easy, McGee!

[@远古传说]

finger independence

[@trentfair]

As a guy who cant live without the blues i appreciate this delightful tutorial friend

[@dankletzky2361]

One of the best guitar lessons ever. Many, many thanks!

[@michaelbarakat3856]

Your teaching and guitar skills are both awesome. Thank you for this.

[@MrBalabushka]

Brilliant!!!! Taken me four years of picking up skills to get back to this. Lovin it now. Thank you.

[@itscosmo]

Great to run across lesson like this to help build up my guitar vocabulary. Very well taught. Thank you, Tom.

[@shawntyler1320]

Beautiful guitar playing and excellent singing...thanks for posting this, VERY impressive

[@marciaewell2661]

John Jackson taught me that D7 as "Delta D"! Seemed like a perfect name for A blues 4 chord. Thanks for awesome lesson!

[@johnoswald9143]

Good God the man can play the blues. Thank you for the Amazing RJ lesson.

[@andylucyshyn]

Great video. Great lesson. And free! Worth everyone's time to learn this song. So much goodness packed in just a few minutes. Thanks so much for putting this out there.

[@GreenChoicePower]

Thanks Greatly! It took me quite some time to get this song down and you were certainly right when you stated you learn this song and other Robert Johnson songs will come much easier. I just learned Love in Vain and it took like 2 nights...yee-haw! And that's really because or your teaching talents, thank you Mr. Tom Feldmann!!!

[@DrekkreD]

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks a lot!

[@MrZafronII]

Holy shit. I'm playing Robert Johnson's songs. Thanks, Tom. You made this so easy.

[@speakofthistonoone2869]

It is refreshing to hear someone singing well along with the guitar 🎸

[@evanhuffman520]

Its not hard whats hard is putting the sugar on it..

[@frederickrobertson8040]

Mr. Feldmann has nailed it. Every note, apparently. I bought the set, and am glad I did. Remarkable.

[@okiluv999]

This was a good even mix of teaching, playing, explaining, and review. From one teacher to another well done.

[@brianfoster5702]

Seriously has that Robert Johnson style off to a tee. So much good number's by him have been used throughout time.

[@johnpaflas3482]

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks!

[@fantasyfootballpodcast]

Dude! That is the clearest Robert Johnson guitar lesson I come across! Nice work. I can't wait to go home and try it.

[@angelialvares]

And one can improvise and write one's own songs with this back up....and it would all sound so heavenly! Thanks a million for this.

[@neonlittledog]

Thank you very much,for this demonstration,this will really help,very detailed an exact,perfect.

[@timolaitinen3888]

What a great lesson

[@jimijamma6106]

Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this. Having this up on here for free really means alot to the future of guitar. Keeping the roots alive will help the tree of music grow stronger. Please know that you have my utmost appreciation for sharing this knowledge. Can't wait to grease up these chops!!!!

[@garydjackson6714]

I'm a bit late with my comment but here it is. I'm aghast anyone could "thumbs down" such an excellent free video lesson. It's obviously a "bread on water" exercise in creating interest in the DVDs but Mr Feldmann doesn't hold back and shares the techniques RJ uses in many of his pieces. He also does it very well. Some comments below refer to the feel of the playing and getting that across in a video is worthy enough. I've been playing/teaching for c40 years and I say this is bloody good. The only thing to add is that after learning someone else's interpretation of a RJ song, listen to the various takes available and hear the differences. It's about style not rote! And there aren't that many opportunities to hear alternative versions of the blues greats. Cheers.

[@HanIl]

Awesome lesson. Clear and to point.

[@timjordanLA]

One of my favorite performances on KZbin

[@donwilkie]

Very very good brother,,God bless you for sharing that .Love that A chord that Robert played.
