Jambalaya Guitar Lesson | Hank Williams - Easy 2-Chord Song ;)

[@Platipus23]

Most if not all of this is answered elsewhere already, but I figured it might be nice to give all the southern translations in 1 comment too. Pirogue - A type a boat resembling a canoe Bayou - Low ground water or slow moving stream Jambalaya - Creole rice dish typically thought of from Louisiana area. Creole food has influence from African/French/Spanish cooking. Gumbo - Louisiana soup that's flavored with mean and/or seafood. Cher a mio - Means my friend or my girlfriend Thibodaux - Surname Fontaineaux - Surname Hog Wild - Excited without restraint I think that should cover all the words in the song that people may not know unless they're from the US or the south. I might be slightly off on a couple of these, but I'm close enough!

[@rachaldenise]

I'll also add that Pirogue is pronouced PEE-row and Cher is pronounced like the singer Cher's name or like the word Share.

[@itsss_gage4306]

I’m from the south and my family is Cajun but only my great grandparents speak French/Creole so I always wondered what Cher a mio meant lol

[@rachaldenise]

@@itsss_gage4306 More properly it means my love. It can be used for friends, romantic partners, family, etc.

[@myrtillemoniot6552]

@@itsss_gage4306 it seems to be from french "chère amie" that means "dear girlfriend"

[@CARNIVOREat60]

bayou (since this takes place in Luisiana) Swamp would be better. Thibodaux & Fontaineaux are "FRENCH Sir Names - Large french population there.

[@baltazarcrump]

Your lesson sent me on a three hour Hank Williams listening binge.

[@darrelldunn4618]

Hank Williams was born in Alabama but a lot of the paying gigs were in Louisiana so he spent a lot of time there.

[@writehandman2833]

Don't be afraid to say Bayoh, you'll sound like a true Cajun, I tell you dat! Even da gator a hear you a comin'.

[@glennchaisson4792]

I grew up in Terrebonne Parish (Houma, LA.) born in 1961 and well call dem "Buy You" Bayou. No one in south Louisiana says Buy OH😒

Jambalaya is a rice dish with chicken , sausage and or other types of meat , mostly common to Deep South Louisiana bayou country

[@johnman4254]

As always, everything is clear and understandable! Happy New Year, Justin! All the best! They also watch you in Russia. Hello from Moscow!🥳🎉

[@arthurculbertson2692]

JUSTIN!!! We meet again! Great song! I can’t believe you don’t have a jambalaya or gumbo across the pond. I’ve never been to England, but I would love to go. Thanks for the rundown on this song. nice touch playing it in different keys.

[@BlackRaven156]

As always, a super lesson!!!

[@НұргүлНұриден]

Hello from Kazakhstan ! Thank you, dear Justin!

[@ericboyette1803]

Thanks, Justin! Grew up in Louisiana and if there is local live music you are probably going to hear their version of this song.

[@darrelldunn4618]

I like hearing the Black musicians play this song.

[@tyanez]

@@darrelldunn4618 The zydeco version! 🔥

[@deanjohnson9936]

Yes, it is a deep south Louisiana dish. It is a Creole dish and yes, again, you do need to give it a go. One can put any kind of meat in they choose, but sausage and seafood are common.

[@brentnoury7626]

Thanks Justin. This is such a great tune by Hank. Really like the Hammer-On trick.

[@LouisGuitarable]

Come down to New Orleans and we'll get you some Jambalaya! Pirogue, small, flat-bottomed, canoe like boat. Gumbo, normally seafood, similar to a Spanish paella, but shrimp, crab base, and much spicier!

[@gilshadu]

I'm from Morgan City Bayou is slow moving muddy creek The song is all about a Fais doe doe (spelling prob wrong) a community party kind of a pot luck with liquor and good times with his girl. Love your lessons.

[@BrandochGarage]

8:36 Those are all words that sound good in the song. ;) Some brilliant songwriting.

[@uweschulz5771]

That was the genius of Hank Williams Sr.

[@joanntran940]

This is one of my favorite songs I've learned to play! I play Little G, D Major, and D7 for the song.

[@timetohunt1]

Perouge is a type of boat. Nice little tune thanks for sharing.

[@georgeearls3338]

Good lesson , Maybe I can help you out a little too. The song comes from when Hank Williams was on the Louisianna Hay Ride. It is based on Cajun culture. Jambalaya is food made from rice Cajun spices and depending on what you want to put in meat wise. It's good food if you have not tried it. A pirogue is a small boat used in the old days for getting around in the swamps of Louisianna. If you are interested in trying the food try looking up Justin Wilson on youtube. Thanks for the lesson I hope this helped you.

Your great man

[@andyhowe1302]

Great lesson 👍

[@BlueElf66]

As usual, good lesson. I would however make a couple suggestions... You got some of the words wrong. It's not "Goodbye Joe, you got to go..." it's "Goodbye Joe, me gotta go...." and bayou isn't pronounced the proper way. Pronounce it with an oh at the end of the word as if the u is silent.The songs about going to a party and having fun with your girl. Gotta loosen up a bit and have fun with it, in both singing as well as strumming, boom chuck strumming (bass/chord) is better when 2 or 3 bass strings are struck at the same time, then the chord. Don't mean to criticize but that's one of my favorite hank sr. songs (that and kaw-liga). My dad and I used to sing them a lot growing up.

[@newvillagefilms]

Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric/Caged The Elephant is a nice two chord song... E and A.

[@scootersays]

Such a fun song

[@bostonodonohue]

Love the key variations SUBSCRIBING!

[@yeetmastrr-xg7zk]

A perog might just be the singular form of many pierogi

[@thorstenfricke3257]

super Sir!

[@bostonodonohue]

Jambalaya is a multi seafood stew, muscles, fish, lobster... anything ocean edible. I reckon 'gumbo" was his own impromptu slang for an impromptu musical jam-session get-down. Ie. Gig

Nice one Dude!!!

[@aayusman-ak]

Awesome sir

rice dish with chicken ham,sausage herbs

[@bradfordmcdonald8839]

"Goodbye Joe, ME gotta go" In the BAYOU patois, "bayou" is pronounced (by'-yoh) near town and (bah'-oh) farther down the bayou. Never (by'-yuu). It rhymes with "Joe, go, oh, pirogue, gumbo, gay-oh, Thibodaux, Fontineaux." jambalaya - rice, chicken, shrimp, sausage, celery, bell pepper, onion gumbo - stew with thick stock, usually sassafras powder (file - fee-lay) with shrimp, oysters, chicken, okra, celery, bell pepper, onions; served with rice pirogue - dugout or flat-bottom, shallow-draft boat paddled or poled through shallow bayous
