This is sorta correct. The “Devil’s” name was Ike Zimmerman. “The Devil” lived just south of Hazlehurst, MS. That’s where Johnson went during those two missing years. He did go back home to find his real father and ran into Ike Zimmerman at a country store. Johnson lived and worked with Zimmerman during that time. Zimmerman taught Johnson every night, at night, in a graveyard, not even a five minute walk from Zimmerman’s home. The reason they practiced at such a peculiar hour and time was because the blues was frowned upon during that time for both white and black folk. Practicing at 12 midnight in a graveyard, it was certain nobody was gonna be around to hear and/or bother them while they played. Needless to say, Zimmerman was not the devil. In fact, he was a Pentecostal preacher who died in the late 60’s, in South Central Los Angeles. He even played around with the selling his soul jokingly. That is perhaps where the whole selling of Johnson’s soul mystic stemmed from. I don’t live too far Beauregard, MS (the actual name of the community where Zimmerman lived next to the graveyard). I’ve also stopped by Johnson’s true final resting place several times, to pay my respects and play a little guitar tune for him. He is buried under a tree, in the back of a cemetery, next to the Little Zion Baptist Church, just outside of Greenville, MS, surrounded by a huge cotton field. It’s on the same road where Billie Joe McCallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge in the song “Ode to Billie Joe”. It’s also the church where they filmed the church scenes, in the movie “The Help”. About 5 miles north on that same road, is the remnants of the Bryant’s Grocery. The site of the Emmett Till incident. The incident that started the Civil Rights Movement. The name of the road is Money Rd., connecting Greenville to Money, MS. A lot of dark history on that road!

no joke, my brother and i both started playing guitar in our teens. i wasnt a prodigy or anything, but through grinding away, i was making significant progress. my brother was grinding too, but he seemed to have a real problem with rhythm. he would write these riffs, that were just not quite right. i would take them and "fix" them. well, fast forward to our 20s, and im getting downright competent as a writer/performer. but my bro is still not quite right. he is homeless at the time, and ends up going to a hippie town, to sell acid. ends up staying the whole summer. when he comes back to see me, i was BLOWN away. he was writing and playing on another level. he told me he took way too much acid one night, and played on the street corner for 2 days straight. on the 2nd night, he was still tripping HARD. he told me something just clicked. and it all made sense to him. still blows me away.

My Theory... Because he had no formal training, he was doing things on the guitar that people did not understand. Fiddling with the guitar in an "unorthodox" way. After obsessive practice, things started to click and eventually became technique. Once he had technique, he could use it in any manner he wanted. Unusual techniques to the people witnessing this would seem incredibly advanced once the playing was attuned to melodies they could understand.

I've been obsessed with music since 1960. With me it's been an obsession. There's nothing I won't listen to that includes disc techno and yes rap. The Robert Johnso story bothered me for years and one day I quit being lazy and started doing my own research on it. It's a fascinating story, but this story has more outright fantasy to it than anyone I've ever studied. He's from Mississippi and as a child all he wanted to do was sing and play the blues. For whatever reason no one would help him. He forged ahead and tried being self taught. He just didn't seem to have any aptitude for music. As a young adult he would tell bar owners I'll play for free but he was so bad bar owners stopped letting him play for free cuz we can't sell drinks to people who aren't here. Blues legend Son House remembers Robert. Son House said when the pub owners no longer let him play for free he was going to move away. No body cared. Sure enough he disappeared for several months, however he came back, and this is when all the nonsense about RJ began. I'll be brief. When he left town the letter grade for his talent was clearly an F. When he returned it was no better than a C minus. True to form he never gave up. During his lifetime no one thought he was a rising star.When he took the stage when the band was on break at least people didn't walk out. He was never a star performer ever. He recorded 11 songs over a 4 year period. Not exactly a bluesman in demand. He had a bad habit of messing with married women. So his death is shrouded in mystery. Many claim a jealous husband poisoned him, it was never proven because frankly no one cared. He was the first member of the 27 club if that means anything. Fast forward to 1961. An engineer at Columbia records saw an ad in a trade publication. Those little fly by nite recording studios had decided to cell off the catalogs of their deceased artists. And they were going cheap. So this engineer got Columbia to buy a bunch of them. After all no residuals to the artists they're dead. Johnson's 11 songs were among the ones released. One snag though, Columbia wanted to put Johnson's picture on the cover. No one in Mississippi rembered who he was and they couldn't drum up so much as a snap shot of him so they had an artist draw a bluesman with his head down. Now the miracle of Robert Johnson begins. What makes this fascinating, is in the history of music there has never been such an obscure unknown unheralded bluesman who became a super star 30 years after he was dead. Mind you his songs that Columbia released did not sell all that well. Pick it up in 1965 and rock n roll was here to stay. All the young performers who would go on to be mega stars were just getting going. Clapton Beck, Hendrix Trower even Kieth Richard's Pete Townsend Mick Ralph's Bob Dylan George Harrison. American kids were buying up fan magazines like they were free. When all the those young up coming mega stars where asked who are some of your influences every one of them mentioned Robert Johnson. So the American rock media asked who the hell is Robert Johnson? That is how he become famous. Maybe he did sell his soul to the devil. The devil just forgot to tell him you won't be a mega star til you've been dead 30 years. Don't be playin' poker with the devil.

Johnson was 'gone' for two years. You can progress a lot on an instrument in two years, especially if you set your mind to it. He also had opportunity to observe some of the blues guys like Son House and take all that in. I think the crossroads legend takes away from Johnson's ability to learn and improve. Some people become prodigies. It happens. And it also takes a lot of work.

@kenparvu3681 Oddly enough, there are present-day entertainers from Memphis who share Johnson's Devil culture. And one claimed to have had a literal near-death experience in which he went to Hell, was tormented and then rescued by "God," before being resuscitated. He tried to change his lifestyle after that incident but struggled. He died about a year later. Half the band members in his group died young. The last died a few months ago before posting a drawing on her Instagram page depicting a woman having sex with a demon. The group was called Three 6 Mafia (as in 666). Perhaps Johnson simply used Satan as a gimmick. But to me, as someone who follows Jesus, that's enough to make a deal out of.

My problem with the idea that he sold his his soul starts with him playing the guitar for years before his disappearance and sudden talent. He was grinding his talent out from the first moment he picked up a guitar and likely studied at the shows of his idol. He didnt suddenly get good it was a process like everything else in this life.

Exactly, son house was lying for attention. Roberts stepsister says “some black people will say anything to a white man for a dollar.” Her book exposes these myths and says Robert first picked up guitar from his father before the age of ten.

I believe that Robert Johnson is the singular biggest reason why music is the way it is today, he influenced the musicians of the 50s/60s which influenced the artists of the 70s/80s which evolved to what we have today. It all comes back to roots of rock and roll

You can't really say one person is the biggest reason. Elvis was huge in bringing music like this to the forefront of western society. You could also say that WW2 was a huge game changer. It was the boomers (as in the original ones born in the mid- to late-40s) who pushed this music forward too. It was having a sudden huge population of young people that really made rock and other forms of music grow exponentially.

Clapton has said that when he heard Robert Johnson for the first time, it sounded as though Johnson were singing to him directly, to an audience of Eric Clapton and only Eric Clapton. It pierced his innermost being. I know what Clapton meant by that. Only a very select few musicians have effected that same feeling within me. Robert Johnson is not one of them, but I still greatly enjoy listening his music. Keith Richards has said that, as a young man, when he would listen to Robert Johnson, he couldn't believe what he was listening to -- he didn't believe it was humanly possible to create a sound *that* distinctive with just a single guitar and two hands. Imagine the brilliance had Robert Johnson lived longer and found a proper band to back him...

Clapton is full of sh*t. Layla (Lusted over his best friend, George Harrison’s woman). Layla - Duane Allman played lead on 11 of the tracks. Didn’t compose some of his biggest hits: Crossroads, Shot the Sheriff. Insanely jealous of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Shame Clapton gave up his helicopter seat to SRV.

Theory: he didn't sell his soul. But all the devil talk in his songs in particular is a metaphor about drugs. Maybe he smoked a bunch of pot (bad in that day) and practiced over that 2 year period and got that good. And his songs are just about how drugs took over his life or some shit.

But I went there as a teen with a group of friends, the most traumatic experience ever… I never ever believed in ghosts until that day except it was no ghost… No one pukes gallons of blood 🩸 looking like they weigh 89 pounds & eyes turning pitch black in a matter of seconds & voice change from soft to mixed with something inside. What I witnessed as a teen was fucking traumatic. I can say he probably didn’t sell his soul… but evil exists and it comes in many forms. Not to mention I’m a family cult survivor of 12 only one escaped. Evil exists mine happened to be my family & more. Paranormal/voodoo shit went on the horror I experienced I don’t know how I’m standing. Probably got hit in the head many times idk that I just became ditzy. No clue. Stay safe out here people. Even the nicest people can do you dirty….

Being a musician myself, I have experienced firsthand what it's like to completely suck at playing the guitar, and have the ability to play pretty well. It certainly doesn't happen overnight, but anyone could go from terrible to amazing if given 2 years to do so...especially if they devote their life to it. Guitar is a strange thing. It took me months to learn how to properly play a bar chord, and then one day it just clicked. That's how music works. The more you try, the more likely it is that you will wake up one day and suddenly everything will just make sense. That has happened to me more than once, and if I had 2 years to play every day, I'm sure I could hone my skills enough to turn some heads. Look at Hendrix...he was also 27 when he died. Very young yet still considered one of, if not the best guitarist ever. It would be different if he came back 2 weeks later with those skills, but practice makes perfect. No need to sell your soul when you have 2 years to practice!

It’s so crazy they really put the truth in front of us in shows and movies to make it seem like it’s just for entertainment purposes but it’s really not. Believe it or not, but I just wanted to put that out there.
