I'm a 69 year old American that's been listening to the blues for decades and I never heard of Robert Belfour until today. How do I learn about him? from a 22 year old Japanese woman in Tokyo. Global connections rock!

America has a tendency of keeping their greatest artists in obscurity. Sometimes you need to go to the other side of the world to see people get their proper credit. Same reason why most american jazz players were touring around germany in the 50s and 60s

North Mississippi Hill Country blues is a very underrated, late to the blues revival party. Even Alan Lomax stumbled across it in Oxford late in his journey

Oddly reading this comment, I never heard this before, and the song I just listened to just before clicking on this video was Deep Purple's "Woman From Tokio".

Robert “Wolfman” Belfour: 9/11/1940 - Born and raised in hills of northern Mississippi, this accomplished bluesman took up the guitar of his deceased father at the age of thirteen and absorbed the unique musical heritage of the area. In 1959 he relocated to Memphis where he spent the next three decades laboring and honing his now-potent skills as a true hill country bluesman. After he was prominently included on an ethnomusicologist’s 1994 compilation album, he signed to Fat Possum Records where he has released a number of acclaimed albums.

I just began listening to his music, but watching this I can tell he was great. And from what I read, I guess he didn't really start taking music seriously until after he worked 35 years in construction. He was in his 40's when he started playing on Beale Street in Memphis and 60 when he recorded his debut album. I guess when you have talent, you always have it. RIP sir!

No clue.. but if I had to guess (which most likely is wrong) probably something light and nickel? He has very good technique of bends, slides.. sounds so punchy.

I'm a 51 y.o. guitar beginner (4 yrs selftaught) and interested in 3-strings-playing. Building now my first CGB. I woke up this morning with a simple tune in my head, grabed the 6-string and slide and played. My right foot did, what it never has done before: it stomped ritmically... I was surprised, and thinking about building me a stompbox. On YT I just tiped stomp blues in the search... And: - here we go! Never thought, this could be possibly a genre... (cheers to all blues-lovers worldwide, from Germany)

I mean, inside blues. The whole north mississippi hill country blues sounds very african to me, compared to other styles. It has a very hypnotical, rythmic, natural feel to it . With very limited chords and little structure. It's all about feeling. By the way check out Bombino, an african touareg blues artist , it kinda reminds me of junior kimbrough's, RL Burnside's and Robert Belfour's music.

I think you missed the point of my comment which is that you can play the song in standard based on an open Am shape. I've seen Robert several times and he's an incredible musician. I'm not trying to say that it's easy to match exactly what he's doing, but if you want to take the tune and make it your own, the melody and all of the notes are easy to play in standard tuning.
