The great Hubert Sumlin teach'n da blues for Guitar One

[@alanlomax100]

I met Hubert Sumlin in 2005 and spent 30 minutes talking 1:1 with him. Nicest, kindest, most descent person on the planet..... I am not overly religious, but may God bless Hubert Sumlin.

[@ricksoto1025]

Such a happy and forthcoming man. What a treasure.

[@Nickwilson2]

i saw him play live a couple years ago, along with Buddy Guy, Chris Layton, and Mitch Mitchell about a month before he died. that was the 'experience hendrix' tour. That was an concert i will never, ever ever forget.

[@Hashashin710]

Hubert's personality always makes me happy. His optimism is infectious, and he must be the sweetest soul in the entire music business.

[@andreacaccese]

I love it how his playing is pure instinct. It keeps it dirty, just plays by heart, doesn't care to impress with "skills", He just let the music get out of him. This is guitar playing. And after all these years, you can still feel his enthusiasm and see him smiling like a kid as he plays. Brilliant

[@CanadianPoets]

@DazedConfused1969 The legend has gone the "way of legends" Rest in Peace Mr Hubert Sumlin and thanks for your great contribution to the blues

[@woodwired1]

What a great positive attitude. Wolf made him learn to play without a pick for a smoother sound. I could hang out with this cat and enjoy every minute. This man has never received proper recognition for his contribution to music. I hope to meet him someday so we can just sit and visit for a spell.

[@harmonicatman]

i met him in memphis after a show recently.he signed my arm so i tattooed it in,real cool cat,truly inpirational for me...

[@holmes1978]

Legendary Blues man !!!

[@rogerz1368]

Pure Class...He's also very underrated for what he gave us in songs and style...

[@mclrk626]

everyone needs to hear the howlin wolf 2 disc set thats black and green...changed my life on guitar. dont know why more young blues guitarist havnt heard of this guy!

[@lighteningboy]

I think everybody should be watching this guy, he is the man! After all these years, he is still excited and passionate about playing.

[@BrokenBiscuitsBand]

hell i have no idea what he's saying half the time, but he's just become my favourite person on the planet.

[@Paulsworks]

I can relate....after listening to him for years and finally putting things together regarding just who and what he is/was, I came to the conclusion that he was in fact...THE MAN....I went to Chicago to meet him. He was a wonderful human being. I later went to see him again at the Namm show and he was just as gracious as ever..I sensed a great lose when he passed...a "Disturbance in the Force" if you will.....There will only be one Hubert Sumlin...a GIant amongst Guitar Players............

[@HiMyNameIsGib182]

I just found this guy today, researching how to improvise and solo ... sad to know the same day i discover a legend, that he passes away! RIP Hubert, i hardly knew ye!

[@74LesPaul]

I have seen this guy and thought at times he was a bit boring. . then I have seen him and he has blown me away with some of stuff he can do. A true great amongst the guitar world.

[@spenserspenser25]

This man is such a dude. So full of life and happiness.

[@bluesboy25000]

I love Hubert Sumlin. He played on all my favorite Wolf records. I'm 19 now and when I first heard him it hooked me. The Wolf's voice is indomitable but Hubert added that character to it in my opinion.

[@kennethnick3213]

Wow so you're 31 now

[@safenders]

RIP!! Very sad to hear the news. I first came across Hubert Sumlin a while back when looking up another old bluesman who had died. At least we still have the music, a part of them that lives on forever.

[@bigdicky11]

Few people understand the influence that man has had on our culture. Great post.

[@Mydsgardk]

Hubert could never forget you, thanks for existing, all your art is a Blessing

[@Firemedic181]

Dang. I've been watching "Lightning in a Bottle" and "10 Days Out" recently. So many of the Legends are leaving us. R.I.P.

[@CanadianPoets]

This man is legend....and still alive. Right on Mr Hubert Sumlin, just keep goin man.

[@hungerstriker27]

respect for hubert.... as a guitar player, i respect him as one of the greatest players of all time....

[@rlews1531]

We're still listening Mr. Sumlin and it will always be so. I'm a guitarist and your work was one of the first lesson I was given. Thank you sir!

[@fastborzoi]

Greatest Guitarist of all time

[@apnearocker]

Man you gotta love Hubert! I'm learning the blues just from his body language! I wonder what he was like in his 20s! My grandpa had the same attitude and lived to 91.

[@Ramblin-Man]

80 years today. Respect.

[@MrGandharva108]

What Hubert plays can't be taught......expression of his soul. Everyone has it.

[@BigWillieWillHom]

[@eldorado62]

One of the last of the old school bluesmen.

Sad year after losing david honeyboy edwards and now hubert sumlin. Two greats gone. R.I.P.

[@robb5706]

[@pacificnorthwester]

in the 60's, at the London sessions for Howlin Wolf, Clapton arriveed, stayed 10 minutes, and was on his way out the door. someone asked, where ya goin, and e.c. replied, you don't need me, you got Sumlin here.

[@jasmoism]

RIP old man!

[@bustedup]

What I wouldn't give to shake this man's hand for all the mean stuff he did with Howlin Wolf

[@dieudonneMC]

these old cats always look sharp, even to just go to the market.

[@Project_Carthage]

[@shakedownstreet48]

RIP Hubert

[@roodbaard51]

[@Sasorithevoid]

[@bluesboy25000]

It's all in the fingers man

[@gukobi]

It's almost essential to listen to hubert if you want to learn blues guitar.

[@taildragger53]

R.I.P. Hubert.

[@GutiarAce]

[@blazelarson1427]

Even though an iPhone speaker that is a great blues tone. I didn’t used to appreciate it like I do now.

[@aficionado74]

R.I.P.

[@lagmuncher]

[@kean10c]

See you tonight sir!

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

RIP.

[@stbreal]

Hubert isn't dead he just went home

[@route42studios]

his style is somehow jagged, sharp, soft, chunky, and fragile.

[@PBANDSNOW]

R.I.P

[@ChavezRey]

Try palm muting, pressing the palm of your picking hand against the strings, just above the bridge, to dead 'em out then pick hard.

[@duckbillmurphy]

seein him at antones on the 14th

[@Briangsoul]

yessir

[@sid35gb]

There you go kids no pedals, no reverb just a guitar 🎸 plugged into amp because Blues men ain’t got no time for tap dancing on pedals😎

[@budharpey]

wow, where is this video from?

[@cosmicrancher2169]

Man, he treats that les paul right

[@Guildwood416]

Jimi Hendrix' idol.

[@UnceBobTouchedMe]

can someone tell me what type of Gibson Les Paul he is using? standard or traditional?
