[@johnprimerblues3503]

He passed 10 years ago today. I am missing him. Thanks for these videos

[@AntonyWarmbold]

Magic Slim = the best bluesman I have ever heard. Unbelievable sound and such emotion coming out of his playing. What a tone, wow.

[@GeneOh]

He's definitely in my top 3!

[@stevedavis8329]

his vibrato on the album born under a bad sign is chilling. I don't even know how he does it. It's like a wide vibrato that just shakes the whole building.

[@edbur1]

Damn, he looks so young! For some reason I was thinking he always looked the same as his later years lol. I got to see him once in the early 2000's. He tore it up, dude.

Fender should become aware of the existence of Magic Slim and his pioneering use of the Jazzmaster as a blues guitar. The tones he's getting out of his Jazzmaster in this concert are unique and original and prove, without a doubt, that the Jazzmaster functions well within the context of the blues. The Jazzmaster was used first as a surf guitar (although there are photos of Jimi Hendrix in his pre-fame days using one), and a lot of publicity has been given to its use by Elvis Costello, Television, Sonic Youth, J. Mascis and many more. Recently, Dave Specter and Jorma Kaukonen have used one within the context of blues and rock, but again, due credit should be given to Magic Slim for using one when it was out of fashion and was considered anything but a blues guitar.

[@juniordamatah]

a question from a layman: Muddy Waters hasn't used this guitar model in the Blues before?

[@rafialvarez3308]

@@juniordamatah, Muddy Waters used many guitars throughout his career, but I've never seen a photo or a video of him using a Fender Jazzmaster. At the end of the 60's however, he used an offset Guild, the same model used by Zal Yanovsky in the Lovin' Spoonful, a guitar that the Spoonful called "the shark". The model that Muddy preferred was the Fender Telecaster, present at the beginning of the 60's - at Live at The Newport Folk Festival, for example- and used during the 70's and until his death at the beginning of the 80's.

[@juniordamatah]

@@rafialvarez3308 I thought I saw it in a video from the Copenhagen festival. but it is another model. thanks for listening!

[@rafialvarez3308]

@@juniordamatah, yes it's there in a concert from 1968, if I remember well.

[@BlueLou974]

@@juniordamatah It was his " Guild era", if you talk about Copenhaguen 1968 . Don't know the name of the model. The whole ( string) band was supposed to play Guilds, gtrs & the bass, as it was a contract of endorsement. BuddyGuy did the same for years, before coming back to Stratocasters. Muddy Waters used mainly that Telecaster white, maple neck at first, then red & " black neck" til the end. Her name was " the Hoss". ( the horse, 'cause she really neighed, what a trhrill!).

[@cergarcia4348]

Alabama jr Pettis! The other guitar!!

[@drew10128]

Nice call!

[@BlueLou974]

He was really great & original but TV people ignored him. And Nat & Nick the same. I thought that french tv were the only ones to do that, but swiss the same. Great concert.

Rare enregistrement

[@twelve-t4c]

so much better tone than the souped up overly distorted modern blues sound .like srv mayer bonnemassa etc .even clapton does it .youd think hed know better. they dont let the blues breathe . it is magic too cos you think hec its just pentatonic licks . yet somehow it is magic .the groovy band helps . they go nuts about about steve jordan etc etc he cant groove like this . .

[@leahanderson8179]

What happened to this guy

[@Baci302]

A blues player who uses a Jazzmaster? Never witnessed that before.

[@BlueLou974]
