Piedmont Blues: North Carolina Style (2013) Documental

[@valishadavis9865]

Man do i miss the family gathering and climbing trees in the yard. Playing hiding go seek by the rose bushes...fluffy ya old cat...and the pickled veggie you use to make. Etta is my great grandmother and it is so wonderful to see ppl still love her music and that it lives on!

[@algorhythmy]

She is an amazing player, so real and heartfelt. Hug your granny for all of us, Etta is the best.

[@richardhasenauer1488]

I used to visit your great grandmother in the late 1990's and early 2000's whenever I made a plant visit in Morganton. I first heard her on an album I bought in the late 1960's and was captivated. Thirty years later while visiting Morganton, I called her up. She invited me over and it remains a fond memory simply talking with her and discussing her life. I then visited her each time I made my way to Morganton. She was always gracious and pleasant. I now volunteer at an adult education program and lead a study group on the history of the blues and the evolution of country music. Etta Baker fits into both courses quite nicely and it is a pleasure to talk about how wonderful a person she was as well as her influence as a musical treasure.

[@winstonli8081]

Her sounds famous outside America! Heard a cover of Crow Jane during a trip to Japan 7 years ago.

[@gnuPirate]

I fell off my chair when she started playing.... and fell off a few more times during.

[@rockandrolllifestyle8679]

Etta is a treasure . I could listen to her play and talk all day .

[@sassulusmagnus]

That's a lot of music for just a thumb and forefinger. Amazing.

[@megabyatt]

Ditto

[@yantheyam5622]

He's playing too

[@ramsfire]

Flashbacks of my Grandfather playing the Guitar and Harp when I was a child. He was a North Carolinian. He played a lot of Jimmy Reed. I adopted my fathers chosen instrument, the Blues Harp. This documentary stirs up very fond memories.

[@chocodiledundee1]

That lady on the beginning playing the guitar that was one of the coolest thing I’ve heard in my life 🙌🏼❤️

[@olaandersson3599]

"How did you have time with nine kids?" "That made them be quite" What a great woman :-)

[@josephbrown9699]

I love her accent! Reminds me of my grandma.what a kind hearted and talented woman.

[@RedHorse4191]

Thank you. so. much fo. d's GREATS !!!¡!!!

[@curleyteeth]

It is probably so much harder to play like these wonderful musicians than it seems.At first you think it is simple music until you try to play it and then the shit hits the fan.Brilliant stuff.

[@Name-el9ps]

curleyteeth It TRULY is a feeling.

[@PILPEZ]

This is a style of guitar that needs to be given more attention!

[@muhrvis]

Philip P Give it more attention! :-)

[@joejohnson6321]

Philip P- There's a third generation of musicians such as myself who's keeping this music alive. These were our grandparents playing this music and it was passed down. We don't have the commercial success of Lil' Wayne and we don't care, but we are here passing it on to our children and grandchildren just as our parents and grandparents taught us.

[@gnuPirate]

@@joejohnson6321 Good on you, and fuck "lil Wayne" forever and ever.

[@TheWinterShadow]

That's 'your' job.

[@yantheyam5622]

I've watched this video several times and I don't think I'll ever grow tired of watching it. Etta is so rad.

[@jacirasantanna7221]

I was so touched by them talking about learning from their fathers. Family matters.

[@vineflower]

Piedmont blues is really hard to play... It's amazing!

[@TheWinterShadow]

Respect to 'all' these guitarists.

[@berndtherrenvolk1951]

What a sweet woman Etta is and an extraordinary musician. You can still see in her face the little daddy's girl who was enraptured with his music and then took it up and mastered it. I could listen to her play all day. And John Dee Holeman is such a humble soul and the music just flows through and pours out of him like sweet maple syrup. And a great voice. It's hard to believe he didn't manage a professional career with that level of talent.

[@TheKvl]

Piedmont blue's is my favorite style of blue's. Blind willie Mctell at top of the list.

[@petermietus1893]

And Mississippi John Hurt too.

[@wmrustycox]

Very reminiscent of Delta Blues... wonderful wonderful music !

[@dennymeroy6129]

Excellent! And thanks too for this priceless piece of blues history. Etta should be recorded as soon as possible to help preserve this style of blues. Her (one finger and thumb) picking style is very unusual, and her delicate execution of the musical phrases is beautiful. She doesn't even seem to realize how good she really is. Thanks so much.

[@MackMcDonaldOfficial]

She did and she has now passed. B

[@patrickclark3337]

Damn I wish I had a grandma like her. Plays awesome guitar and is laid back. I would jam with her all the time.

[@marcus_starr]

This a a gem for any guitarist/blues fan.

[@rudigazortipek2987]

thank you kindly

[@andrewbryan359]

Thank you for this. Etta was a delight and I loved the way she looked over the hedge when the car went by. So gentle and relaxed.

[@jb352studio]

missed it, what was the clock count.

[@LexJones207]

The interview with Etta Baker is a treasure. She's the real deal, and her playing is wonderful.

[@grandpahonestyguy8978]

i was conceived in Durham. i had the music in me. Bert Bryson is my daddy. I didnt see that man until i was 40 years old. Was born in Carlisle Pa, and raised up by another fella. But this music is IN ME.. NorthCarolina blues-folk-and-country...

[@nastydog131]

Such a sweetheart, And a very talented lady . Love her music so much !

[@thomaswise7348]

I 've been a fan of Piedmont Blues for years.

[@michaelreilly7635]

Wow Etta is a national treasure, she rocks, thank you

[@denisivanov2522]

Thank you very very very much!!!!! Blues & Jazz is everything!

[@haiasiniknar4935]

Etta had some chops. I did not know we had our own regional style of blues.

[@andreigagiu1875]

[@theWZZA]

If loving this kind of music is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

[@shaunw9270]

Many thanks for sharing ! Wonderful music and lovely people !

[@jacirasantanna7221]

So wonderfully melancholic, so purely beautiful.

[@kathmandoo]

What is it about blues harmonica. Always sounds so great. Reminds me of the 1960"s as well.

[@anitadavideduo]

Wonderful! We had great time in Morganton where Etta used to live.

[@juanluisgonzalez4157]

Wow wow wow many many thanks for sharing God bless you all 🙋‍♂️❤️🙏

[@kd5txo]

Nice! This is a really thoughtful and sensitive documentary that disregards Race and any other cultural differences and shows what the United States is all about. It sticks to the basics and enriches us all. Thanks for making and sharing this film. I really enjoyed it.

[@unholylemonpledge9730]

Happy Traum has a dvd lesson set of her tunes. She’s wonderful. Makes me wish I hadn’t sold my Martin dread.

[@gregmanny6370]

Thank's for sharing!

[@bobaldo2339]

Interesting to me that Jimmy Reed had so much influence on some of these players in N.C. "You Don't Have To Go" and "Big BossMan" for instance. Great video over all. I especially liked Etta, and John Holman.

[@douglaspaterson5269]

Mississippi and Carolina borrowed from each other if you notice certain artist's, just different styles Piedmont Blues would be Rock n Roll while Mississippi Blues would be Death Metal!

[@jeffreysmith6373]

Beautiful Cant wait to learn it!!

[@stevenedwards4470]

She looked pretty damn good for being over 80. Amazing how much movement is in that music for 2 fingers working.

[@robertgarland805]

Can you imagine the callouses on those beautiful fingers❤

[@thomaswise7348]

Great Stuff

[@mabudia4177]

John Dee Holeman is great. He appeared in "Blues Houseparty" and if I'm not mistaken, even in Toot Blues" where he was younger.

[@chadtep7571]

Coolest granny around

[@cantorfabianobrasil]

very good

[@78vinnieb]

Iam born much later after these times and on the other side of the world. But this music got to me and it will never die. I play it on my computer, now a days, and on my guitar and will carry the tunes on to the new generation. Let them know that all the modern music has it roots in these tunes. Blues 4ever!!

At 23:47, He sings, 'Give back my wig I brought you.....darling let your dawg gon head go bald". Telling a woman that is some serious revenge.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

I want to learn all these songs. Are these songs tabbed out online? Her thumb is amazing.

[@jean-claudearsenault224]

One of Andrés Segovia's student, had him listen to Mississippi John Hurt, and said there's 2 guitarists, lol

[@elipkau]

What a great percussion!!! What is that ?? How is that piece called ??

[@richardcarew4708]

so... when I was a young man my friend and I watched Lightning Hopkins play at the San Diego folk festival in 73 and 74... I was 21... he told us he borrowed the name from another guy.. possibly the guy who wrote Railroad Bill.. about a pen knife in the hands of a jealous man... Lightning fast... and.. says he... he's doing 99 years... I am wondering if this L Hopkins this man is talking about was numero uno?... if you Google the name.. the guy in the picture is the man who shared a few moments with a couple of poor boys learning how... blessings on him forever

[@josephsmith8673]

Documental?

[@samuelherman4859]

The second song remember me something like Green Day ...Raddiance ...

[@guzmanperez1109]

Hey what make is that guitar pickup?
