T - Bone Walker put the SWING in the Blues - His guitar playing alone is worth it - Then throw in HIS singing and song writing and you have a great man !

[@hansjorg1923]

He was a real autentic Bluesman not comparable with the many clowns of today. His guitar playing always full of soul and from the Heart 😊

[@bluesborn]

Bone's slow blues are a study in the plasticity of time.He used time as a malleable material that he could bend and stretch like a sculptor, uncovering a labyrinth of ever morphing grooves. T-Bone was a master of pure swing and faultless feel.

[@roberthamlin6638]

Wow, you need to write a book.

[@wanettarenay8215]

THE MAN WAS BORN IN THE POCKET, BLUES FLOWED THROUGH HIS VEINS. NONE BETTER FOR MY MONEY

[@fredpg]

Albert Einstein came to the same conclusions about time, both T Bone and him were right!

[@iceman273]

I know what you are talking about. He plays on the beat, then behind the beat, then picks it back up. Such an amazing effect

[@Vinceleehill]

All the masters like playing catch-up cheers

[@Macunaima59]

What a musical animal, I am in shock ... what a way to play the guitar ... he was a MONSTER in the best sense ... From now on I will start listening to him more ... What a great musician ...

[@andrewnicholls1171]

T Bone was the best!!

[@vatroslast]

the very inventor of everything that was ever cool in pop/rock music. and would you just look at his wild ass half-cherokee face!

[@fordsrestorations970]

Starting in big band era, guitar had no value standing in the back , T Bone came right out front to be the legend guitarist . I have been known to go into a T-bone mode that lasted for days. That's just how good he is.

[@kleinequietboykleinequietb7126]

nary a note to many, or too few, all dead on perfect, guitar and vocal. right in-between the jazz and the blues. how DO he do that, man?

[@jaybeerod]

...just being T-BONE :-)

[@kleinequietboykleinequietb7126]

yeah. I ve heard many greats. but i've never heard anyone who played and sang every note, every time, not perfect , but just right. every time. And i am one critical mofo. I'll find something wrong even with a sunny day, especially if they serve up some watered down blues, or some gringo oriented mexican food food trying to pose as the really deally "comidas autenticos". he is amazing. Thanks for this vato. It's a great way to start any day. I learn and take notes and try to get that level of perfection and soul in my playing by playing along , over and over to Stormy Monday.

[@dontgoout1434]

So easy

[@brentgargus8270]

right there between Jazz and Blues- the only Big Band blues player I really enjoy 🤓

[@abrigospardos]

No se me ocurre un guitarrista de blues más influyente y pionero que T-Bone Walker. ¡Y aquí se deja ver bien claro el por qué!

[@thecottage4493]

Love the physical positioning of his guitar. I've never seen anyone strap their guitar flat like that

[@larryn2682]

Sometimes he looks a lot like he's playing a square neck Dobro.

[@musicofanatic]

He must have lost the endpin to his guitar as he has the strap tied to the tailpiece

[@thelughxperience6971]

[@craigthomson3621]

For those still into physical media, track down the triple CD “The Complete Capitol / Black and White Recordings” and the double CD “The Complete Imperial Recordings 1950 - 1954” and the single CD “T-Bone Blues”.

[@Carizmojones]

Yep

[@michaelhorton1350]

Ok, but not Bone at his best. For that see, Rare T-Bone and some recordings w/better fidelity. Early stuff wonderful but woeful taping back then by tin-ear productions oftentimes.

[@scottyconantwisdomoftrees5993]

This RULES-

[@claudecat]

T-Bone doesn't get nearly enough credit. He's at the root of pretty much all blues and lots of rock guitar soloing. And he was in his prime right till the end, unlike most of his peers. He just didn't fit into what white folk mostly wanted to hear during this time period, which was either acoustic "country blues" by rediscovered artists, many of whom were barely able to play, or the harder edged Chicago stuff that eventually morphed into Hendrix and metal and all the rest of it. But you trace things back far enough and there's T-Bone Walker, doing his jazzy thing consistently well decade after decade since before Blind Lemon Jefferson died. I mean, his voice is even better than his guitar, and nobody ever mentions that! One of the key figures in American musical history if you ask me. Plus he sold a whole lotta records back in his time, unlike most of the Chicago guys not named Little Walter.

This guy was a picker rather than a player. Buddy Guy described guys that were really great guitar players and he described T-Bone. The guy was almost Nat King Cole playing blues

[@patersondave44]

not exactly. NKC could play classical music and swing that, too. check out his rachmaninoff c# on the trio albums. but that's no slur on tbone walker, who did create a lot of great stuff in his own way

[@jozsefszigeti4124]

Stewe Miller kijelentette, hogy 1952-ben Walker megtanította neki, hogyan kell gitározni a háta mögött, és a fogaival is. Walker egy Igazi őstehetség volt a kezdet kezdetén az elektromos Blues elterjedésében a világon, és technikai megoldásában. Gazdagabbak lettünk egy hatalmas élménnyel. köszönöm!

In turn TBone draws directly from Charlie Christian, where jazz guitar is measured as before Charlie, playing Charlie and after Charlie; that’s it.

In addition to being lead-boy for Blind Lemon, Bone began show career as DANCER in Tiny Bradshaw, often bringing house down w/trademark schtick of clamping table in teeth and swinging in circles. Legendary guitar only began stint as ballad crooner, but always prodded into closing whatever show (other performers loathe to follow). But perhaps most surprising fact from autobio of Basie, is T-Bone offered chair in Basie unit. Equally amazing, if not moreso, is Freddy Green was down with Bone in band. But turned down by T-Bone. Hardly needing mention that cats DREAM of Basie unit being capstone of career…almost unfathomable.

[@dontgoout1434]

Wow the world knows that

[@debomb721]

I wonder why he holds the guitar like that, it looks like it would be harder and more uncomfortable to play

[@ninjavigilante5311]

Because that was his style! I'm sure he was pretty used to it since he always played that way

[@michaeledwards4715]

Music was changed due to t bones attempt, style and how he played blues with jazz on stage!
