In fact, It was said by Mick Jaggers.

@@eduardoescobar566 I thought it was Paul McCarney who said that. It was definatley the Beatles not the Stones who gave that answer.

"What happens when muddys got his mojo working"

[@benpowersguitar]

Been listening to Muddy Waters for years. So much respect.

[@joepalooka2145]

I saw Muddy live in a club back in the early '70s with his band. Today all these years later, I realize how lucky I was and what a privilege. I got a table close to the stage, right in line with Muddy. He totally amazed me with his raw power and energy. He played his red Telecaster very loud and it was fantastic. Add to that his incredible voice. Anyone who saw him live will agree that records don't capture the man like his live performances. I've never seen anyone like him before or since, and I never will again. He was a living piece of history and the word "legend" is an understatement. I was truly in awe of him and I still am to this day.

Man I would kill to experience that, thanks for sharing

Great video Thom! Those old Blues guys were the best. Pure inborn musical talent and knowhow! You should look into doing a video on "Magic Slim" as well. Anyway, hope that you & your little one are doing well. 👍👍😉😉

[@oldmanbluecat3535]

This is my favorite blues song from all time... thank´s for this amazing video!!!! Greetings from Chile

[@lightfoot413]

Muddy Waters..priceless..and you my friend have a great talent for disecting songs and showing them to us..That 9th chord was used a lot back in the 5o's soul music..a neat chord for sure...thanks bro....

[@imannonymous7707]

I dig this channel , and your dediction to the true masters . Keep on keeping on bro

[@Raymond-rr5iv]

Pilgrim, you always come out with the best songs. I was really in the mood to hear some Muddy Waters and play it too. Thank you so much 😎👍❤🔥🇺🇸🙏!!!

[@adylp7818]

Great video Thom. Love your work!

[@EstebanHillcoat]

It is really difficult to play simple!!!! Great video!!!!

[@davidespinosa1910]

Muddy stole it -- priceless. At least the Beatles, Stones, and Clapton gave him credit !

[@Beachbumartist]

You have such a great channel and explain things so well. Thank you

[@mairenared]

Great video Thom. That Les Paul Studio sounds really fine. I've met Bob Margolin several times here in Seville. He played in Muddy's band for many years and is a great source of anecdotes about the great man 😃

[@imannonymous7707]

Steady rollin bob margolin an unsung hero who played on so many tracks we all love, quite a thrill, i must say

[@joecooper9859]

@@imannonymous7707 He's a regular visitor to Seville. He played a gig and did a masterclass a few years ago and turned up with a blackguard Tele that was probably older than me (and I'm no spring chicken!). The last time he played here he was playing a B&G guitar which sounded amazing. He's a true legend and a really nice guy to boot. I treasure my signed copy of his 2012 album "Blues Around The World".

[@bernardcummines8124]

As always an excellent job on a great song 🎸👍

[@billysheridan3487]

Great video thanks . Love that rhythm guitar from back then . Especially Willie Johnstons playing with early howlin wolf .

[@chipsterb4946]

I saw Muddy Waters play a small club in Charlottesville, Virginia in the late 1970s. He was in his middle 60s, but when he sang Mannish Boy he could’ve had any woman he wanted in that place. His voice was really big, but somehow his stage presence was simply HUGE. I’ve never seen anyone engage an audience the way he did.

[@joepalooka2145]

I totally agree!

[@rudymikula7129]

Great lesson, as always. Thanks.

[@thomasjames724]

Very enjoyable and informative. I love the music of Muddy! How about some Slim Harpo?

[@CorbCorbin]

Or Guitar Slim? 😄

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Great choice for all of us to get our mojo's working. Thanks GP, I had no idea that Muddy could move like that.

[@halbertking2683]

My friend , Brian Bissessi [ spelling ? } played with Muddy at the White House when Carter was president . He had a picture of Muddy and the band there . Muddy had a plaid suit on . Brian had a whole lot of GREAT stories about his time with Muddy .

[@MindDezign]

Love your catalog.....how about some " Bad Company "

[@charlesgrandt9012]

Great lesson for a great song!!!

[@brantbuckleymusic3383]

This is fantastic!! Love this!!

[@PorscheHarry]

J.J. Cale also had a briljant version of Mojo on his album Really. Great stuff !

[@geraldglaubitz9551]

Hi Thom, great analysis and performance. I think I am gonna dig deeper in this song and the Muddy Waters thing trying to record it. What about an analysis of Rorry Gallagher stuff? Perhaps from his legendary Irish Tour? I am now sitting on his "A million miles away" working on it recognizing that his legendary phrasing is quite difficult. Greetings to Ireland, his homeland.

[@CorbCorbin]

I actually like Muddy with Johnny Winter, the best of his recordings.

[@ukcryptolondonbased2953]

The guy at 1:48 has some slick moves

[@FSarnicola]

besides being a splendid guitarist, you are also an actor

[@jonharp]

Mr. Otis Spann on the piano.

[@TooLooze]

I love the Ann Cole version, too!

[@RolfMaibaum]

Great as always. There's a wrong chart for the E9 in the solo, b string on 9th fret, not as shown on 10th.

[@DemonAdvance]

Great lesson as always! Can you do long distance call? Someday

[@donegan2comcast]

Muddy holds a very, very special place here in Chicago. And I believe it was Keith that hoped to meet Muddy (he did).

[@albertjanderson]

After playing this song for years I never realized she wrote this I remember hearing her when I was a kidCheck out the seed group Podcast listen to my CD Sir thank Subscribers

[@billmiller7138]

Preston "Red" Foster is listed as writer.

[@5s4l1p1fcw]

@Guitar Pilgrim Now you need to teach us Muddy's 'Cross eyed cat - H_Vpv0dKAQ0). Not only does the song have an infectious aggressive groove, but he is also singing about a cat! 🤣🤣

1057 the year I was born💜💙

[@deans.8659]

Love your videos. Can learn so much! The 2. E9 you showed is x-12-11-'9'-12 not '10' like on chord pic.

[@hijmestoffels5171]

There is also D in it, so isn’t it a E7add9? I am not so good at figuring out chords.

[@deans.8659]

@@hijmestoffels5171 You're right. There's a D. So it's a D(#11add9). Says my chord analyzer app. It's a sub of E9, when adding E. But Thom doesn't plays the E. I' m not sure ' cos I'm also not expert in those things.

[@mariovaillancourt]

I love what your work. Just in case you didn't know you have the wrong chord sketch on E9. Your index finger should be on F#

[@RobertoCichetti]

oooh my god, i never saw muddy waters young, i never knew how good he was at dancing, now im tring to learn this god dam song its hard but i have to have it, because this mojo song ios the story of my life, it just dont work on her

[@thedashgreen65000]

Good instructional content. Not overly happy that you called the original which is a great jump blues doo woo and “nothing to do with the blues” for some reason.

[@denisechetty4019]

🎸👍👏😊😎

[@azmike3572]

I once owned a black car. Every scratch, every paint swirl, every fingerprint always showed. Is it the same with your Les Paul? Are you constantly polishing it?

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Ha not really, since I'm a dad I hardly have the time ;)

[@azmike3572]

@@GuitarPilgrim Well, maybe soon you might be saying, "Want an increase in your allowance? Got a new chore for you."

[@davidespinosa1910]

These days, blues is mainly about the guitar. But Muddy's band was an equal balance of harp, piano, guitar, bass, and drums -- a "blues orchestra".

[@stingaling]

The E9 you show is not the same as what you are playing.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup for this. Copyright infringement? Uh oh. John Wayne wrote the original Pilgrim. But he didn't play the guitar. He played the six-shooter. Your saving Amazing Grace is that your six-string guitar is one mean iron to pack.
