[@LoveStreetMike]

I was lucky enough to work at a club in the 60's where Johnny played at least once a month. Great guy! Phenomenan musician.

[@licksnkicks1166]

Johnny was amazing. I saw him and Edgar in concert. I saw them play Frankenstein. I will never forget those memories in time. The best!

[@ihatemagas]

Their mother used to come into the nursery that I worked at in High School. They were very famous in my neck of the woods. She would sit and arrange flowers with the owner's daugher. I didn't know who she was until the daughter told me.

[@randyc5650]

Johnny got me with 2nd Winter around 1969. I was a senior in HS in New Orleans and was just hearing about Woodstock.

[@tonetone7572]

appreciate your love for Johnny that i also have seeing him several times and having everything he recorded,.,. however that riff like so many others originates with T Bone who's pet licks are the foundation and cornerstone of the rock blues guitar school,, immerse yourself in his music and you'll hear the roots of where that lick came from..✌

[@BavonWW]

But please remember that Johnny Winter was always active in promoting the original bluesmen and stuck behind them to his dying days.

[@paullavallee1631]

Robin Ford is just plain awesome

[@douginny]

Sounds like Clapton's turnaround lick in " 6:51 Have You Ever Loved a Woman". Also in C

[@Vincent-fo7xp]

I've seen Johnny over 20 times. From 1975-1996

[@fredfloyd68]

Bout time..Johnny Winter is a guitar god...Now we need you to break down Mean Town Blues...the tuning and especially the intro...Hey great job!!

[@WJ_RedSG]

Johnny is in my top five!

[@davidp7833]

I like playing those, for sure. From Woodstock, i play the Santana stuff. My Dad loves him. Id like to get going on the caged download I received from you (thank you for your generosity), but I'm working 12 hours all the time be cause of the short week we'll have. I'll have time coming up. Thanks, Mark.

[@michaeljam2132]

Hey Mark you caught the end of the 70's. Great nostalgia. Bring back 70's Rock'n'Roll.

[@waynegram8907]

MARK ZABEL, do a lesson about "blues RUBS" what are blue rub notes and blues rub licks. I think blues rubs are either a half-step above or below that are out of key notes that are rubbing against a chord tone. Blue Stabs are considered quick bends?

[@gumdocga]

Mark, When I heard “I Hate Everybody”, it changed my world. It was Johnny playing the blues, but with Edgar on horn and a definite jazz feel. Amazing to this day.

[@l6srob990]

Johnny Winter live got me hooked

[@FMorgigno1]

I absolutely LOVE Johnny Winter. So cool that he actually wound up producing his mentor in Muddy Waters. It’s nice to see and hear others who appreciate Johnny. You are an absolute treat, Mark. I’ll appreciate your channel so much. Thank you for the outstanding content.

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks so much! That's so cool you got to produce Muddy. I love his early work that doesn't seem to get much airplay. The work Muddy, Johnny, and James Cotton did together was really fun as well.

[@FMorgigno1]

@ the best. I also love the stuff with Rick Derringer and Randy Joe Hobbs. I got to see him at BB Kings in NYC and a second time in Westbury with Leon Russel. Classic!!

[@vonzoomtunes9847]

Johnny was my introduction into the Blues.

[@billsmith2212]

I first saw Johnny Winter And at The Fillmore East . I saw Johnny and Edgar around 1969 -70 at The Hofstra Playhouse . Capacity 1105 . He had 5 Twin Reverbs and turned ALL the knobs on 10 ! The slide was deadly and Edgars sax was equally deadly ! I saw him many times . A true bluesman !

[@trusarmor4957]

Radio DJ, huh! ... Now that you mention it, your voice is Butter ! makes perfect sense, tho i always thought you maybe sang.

[@rupand1853]

Mama talk to your daughter is an old J.B. Lenoir song!

[@richardsrensen4219]

wow what a coincidence yersterday i was taking with my guitar teacher and he was mention Jonny W as one of the great blues and Rock guitarrist i was about to look for him as i saw your videos !

[@thomasfritsch3536]

❤really nice lesson buddy im sending it out now

[@MarkZabel]

Awesome thank you!

[@aminahmed2220]

Awesome video Mark have a great weekend also I have a cold ❤😢

[@pat5882]

Check out Alan Wilson of Canned Heat, at Woodstock, with his ‘54 LP. “Woodstock Boogie”.

[@Wuppiedog]

I think that lick is based on the iconic Albert King lick he used in most of his songs honestly. Johnnys version had a rougher rock feel with a couple more notes.

[@MarkZabel]

Could be that's where Johnny got it. I'd bet that it didn't originate with Albert, whom I love, but came earlier in Muddy's music. (I could be wrong, of course. I'll look into it!) Muddy is known to have been a huge influence on Johnny. So Muddy (or whoever played with him at the time, like Jimmy Rogers) may have been the source - for Johnny at any rate. I'm not trying to trace it all the way back, as it probably goes further back than that too. I'm just hypothesizing that Robben was influenced by Johnny's "Talk To Your Daughter" version from the late 60s. Origin is always an interesting question in an art form like the blues. The lick didn't come from J.B. Lenoir (the writer of the song) though. I'm pretty darn sure of that!

[@senorsenior9546]

I've heard that most of his contemporaries claimed that Albert King was always accusing everyone of stealing his licks. It was like he thought no one come up with a lick of their own.

[@danfurr1907]

Check out "Be Careful With A Fool " by Johnny Winters.............I think its the best he ever played..........

[@tommcnally3646]

So true, he kills it

[@jbux1983]

Is that Ithaca N.Y.?????

[@williamr6372]

JOHNNY WINTERS... I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS THE KING, BUT HE WAS ONE OF THE PRINCES FOR SURE...WHEN I THINK OFTHAT ROCKING OUT BLUES STYLE IT'S HARD TO THINK OF ANYONE BETTER... IT WAS FIERCE !! I SAW HIM IN MYRTLE BEACH SC AT THE BAMBOO DECK... IT WAS STRAIGHT UP JOHNNY WINTERS...

[@chrisburzenski2317]

well done ty!

[@Ken-f8n]

I had several albums by the yellow jackets...

[@DingoDoggie]

Check out Alvin Lees' version of Hey Joe at Grey Whistle Stop

[@nsinc965]

The lick is at 1:11

[@olafbigandglad]

If I had to pick an iconic lick from Woodstock, it would be Alvin Lee's opening to Goin' Home. To be honest, I didn't even remember Johnny Winter played Woodstock.

[@williamickes4648]

Several groups got lost in the shuffle in fact

[@MarkZabel]

It's probably because Johnny didn't wasn't in the movie. He had an AMAZING set. Alvin's part was pretty amazing too. Here's a breakdown of that Alvin Lee lick from Woodstock you're talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHycZIGjnZ19qrs

[@howardgott4946]

Hendrix Star Spangled Banner stands out for me ….don’t remember Johnny Winter being there.

[@Frodojack]

​@@howardgott4946 He wasn't in the movie or the first two soundtracks. In the 1990s he finally got his due. His set was one of the hardest rocking ones at Woodstock.

[@howardgott4946]

@ ok thanks for that I had no idea.

[@2011littlejohn1]

Johnny Winter was so unfairly under rated. How they missed him off the Woodstock movie was a travesty. I know a guy Justin Lavash who played support for him in Europe and he's another unknown virtuoso. There seems to be a rule in music that the guys who influence everybody who play never get known by the public. Terry Pratchett illustrated this in his satirical disc world novel Soul Music. I saw Johnny Winter play in Prague - he had to sit down as he was getting more affected by his condition. He was still blistering.

[@bluesrockguitar1484]

Oh Yeah Oh Yeah

[@alanoliver5762]

Who is Robin Ford? OK,😊 I’ll Google it.

[@CD_Character]

Robben.

[@MarkForbes-dr4ie]

All stolen from albert king

[@kingcormack8004]

Magic Sam Maghett West Side Soul "Mama Talk to Your Daughter". Robben Ford also did this in the 90s with the Blue Mile. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Side_Soul

[@scotclark7399]

The Magic Sam version doesn't have that lick. Just a standard turnaround.
