Lead Belly challenge

[@cryptoxenologist]

Most folks don't have a clue to this era. Lost history, no matter what race.

[@chrisjaybecker4395]

That's the one-and-only Roger E. Mosley (of Magnum PI fame) playing the young Leadbelly in this scene. He's the young man with the 6-string guitar.

[@jakeyboy261992]

why isn't this as popular as dueling banjo's?

[@bishlap]

because it wasn't in a mega bucks Hollywood production - STUPID.

[@cameronjohnson3529]

@@jakeyboy261992 My bad, I responded to the wrong comment. Someone mentioned that the actor who played the young Leadbelly in this scene was also on Magnum PI. I was asking of he played the character of TC on the latter.

You see it coming and it still delivers. 👏

[@ukbiffa7752]

"The Challenge" played by David Cohen (6-string) of Country Joe & The Fish, and Dick Rosmini (12-string)

[@tylerhurd9569]

That makes a lot of scene now.

[@aniquinstark4347]

Really good movie and fantastic music throughout. Black guitar players have historically not been recognized enough.

[@bennewton4525]

Abiquiu Stark. What are you talking about? Some of the most famous guitar players of all time are black lol Hendrix, Prince, BB King, Albert King, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson, Bo Diddley, Eddie Hazel and so on. Most are house hold names because of their guitar abilities. Only white guitarists that are mentioned in the same breath as these guys in blues/rock/jazz are Paige, Clapton, Gilmore, SRV, and Eddie. Most of those black guitarist are famous because of their guitar abilities and not the songs they had like Clapton and Gilmour. But you also have Doc Watson, Rice, Sutton, Blake, and Billie Strings. They are all white but bluegrass pickers that I would put in the class of everyone of the guitarist i mentioned and better than most.

[@genghiskhan7041]

Oh, guitar players know about the great black guitar players though, Aniquin. Who cares what the non-players think?

[@Bob62798]

@@bennewton4525But it’s true that a lot of those famous white guitarists took songs from black players without giving them credit or mentioning their name. So there has been a lack of recognition for the origin of many blues songs

[@exileonfanninst]

There’s a Tom Waits song about the Houston Fannin Street, but Lead Belly’s version was referencing Fannin Street in Shreveport Louisiana. A street which was comprised of a row of whorehouses and bars.

The same thing happens in big Hollywood productions why are you acting like this is something new?

[@skatetodeath666]

@@Fireglo Its not new nope, just really easy to see in this video.

[@Fireglo]

@@skatetodeath666 not really. Unless you play guitar you're not going to notice the notes don't match. Besides don't forget LeadBelly used a different tuning to standard so the notes might actually be correct.

[@skatetodeath666]

@@Fireglo he just tuned down all the strings 2 steps so its still the same chord shapes

Awful movie....I beg to differ
