Only a recent discovery for me. Goddam, I love Snooks! What a talent. That Telecaster sound is delicious, too, far out. And yeah, Jon Cleary as a younger man, wow!

good god that was incredible, and incredibly exciting. That's gotta be the greatest right hand a guitar has seen since the immortal Blind Blake and beyond doubt the best ever on an electric guitar, Snooks Eaglin you are a total freak of music. It's also the most unique style of playing Ive ever seen in blues or Jazz, or anything else.

Snooks was the first real bluesman I ever heard, one of his earliest solo albums, playin' acoustic. My life changed forever after that. Sadly, by the time I got to Nola he'd died, but there's much good video of him to enjoy. And Cleary is one of my favorite artists, great player, singer and writer. I got to sing with him one night in Nola, what a blast !

All professional guitarists know that the frets eventually wear down, and you end up either needing a new neck, a new guitar, or an expensive 'refret' of your favourite gigging instrument. Listening to this, I'm guessing that the way Snooks played, 'eventually' was a much shorter time than for just about anyone else. He executes those intense metal-on-metal string and fret interactions with such brutal ferocity that it seems perfectly reasonable to expect tiny traces and smoke and sparks to be visible if you could just get close enough to see his fingertips, not that those sightless eyes of his would ever let him witness this, but maybe he could still pick a burning smell, although on this number, with them red hot beans a-cookin' like crazy, you never can tell...

So cool, thank you for uploading. I just discovered Snooks a few days ago. Glad to see some of his stuff is here on YT. I hear that he was a major influence on Dr. John. I wonder if Johnny Winter is a fan of Snooks too??

Love Snooks , the human jukebox . said to know 2000 songs . I also thought his version of Mustang Sally was better than another great's version Wilson Pickett . and a damn great guitar player . He goes so smoothly from chords to lead and at other times plays lead and rhythm at same time . no, it ain't just finger pickin chords either. something that only classical and calypso guitarists can do . there are few other non classical guitarists who can play rhythm and lead line simultaneously too.

@16YearsInHell16 жыл бұрын
this can have two meanings, but i guess you mean the positive one=P
It's like each the three smaller fingers on his right hand are each keeping track of a thread. In the rythm parts they are together. When the index finger is making a run, the other ones are keeping their own pace even if they aren't engaged with the strings. That's what it looks like to me, anyway. The lighting in this vid makes it look like he has more fingers than he really does.
