Vieux Farka Toure (Diarabi) guitar lesson...

[@jeffcannon7763]

I love Malian guitar playing, Desert Blues, Touré Music, or whatever you want to call it. Excellent lesson in this not-so-well-known style, please keep it up!

[@davidt9841]

I've been watching for your next post, so now I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you How Much I Appreciate the musical styles that you choose to share with us! I absolutely love the RL Burnside and All of the Hill Country Blues videos that I have watched recently, and I commend you for your commitment in learning and sharing these incredible, wonderful styles of play! While I know this particular video is a departure from those I just mentioned, I Love This As Well! Kudos to you, Sir! Keep Up the Great Work!! 👍🎸☮😎

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@damp7820]

Thanks to share this great music. Ali farka toure & Ry cooder in “talking Timbuktu” played this traditional song in 1994. Thanks again

[@ryanbumgarner6388]

Agreed! Thank you for this breakdown! Well done Sir!

[@Richard_Danielson]

As far as i’ve seen you’re hands down the best teacher out there. As an intermediate/re-learner i accumulate alot of new skills, ideas and understanding from every single one of your lessons, and all fairly quickly as well. It’s very inspiring. Thank you so much for what you’re doing! Im on my way signing up for membership right away!

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Wow, thank you! 😀

[@ilovemusic0159]

Thank you for this very good lesson ! i didn't know vieux farka but ali farka! it's very good too !

[@omarb6831]

I discovered Tuareg music recently during my trip to Djanet Algeria and I was overwhelmed. Thank you for your tutorial which gives me motivation to learn this song.

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

This is not Tuareg music. Farka Toure is from Songhai and Fulani tribes. The music is from the Sahel and Sahara regions, from Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. There are hundreds of diffrent tribes living there all with vey similar music not just the Tuaregs. 🙏

[@omarb6831]

I’m talking about desert blues that all Tuaregs play. Be it from Algeria, Libya or Mali.

[@danijeladimoski]

Perfect! Thank You! I like when someone adds tabs along with the lesson and explanation. Greetings from Serbia 😀🥰🌍🗺

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks- Glad you liked it!😀

[@riodany1]

Thank you for this tutorial honestly, I love his rendition of the song especially this live preformance

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks! Glad you like it!😀

[@aplwaplw]

THIS IS FANTASTIC. Thank you so much, subd, and looking forward to more music from the motherland.

[@kerryfromaj9032]

Nice how you introduce new / different music to many of us. I like how you are not a genre / style specific teacher. Thanks Heath.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks Kerry! Im glad you liked it- Its nice to change things up occasionally!

[@stevef810]

THANK YOU MAN!!! I appreciate the idiosyncrasies and organization you add to your lessons. I can't thank you enough. I want to master this song like him

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

You'll get it just keep it up! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Rebelconformist82]

Brilliant. Loved this song since it was on the Talking timbuktu album with Ali farka toure and Ry cooder

[@MIRAGI738]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!🙏🙏

[@grahamsampson769]

Great lesson as always! I've never heard such melodic bass runs, and the pull offs to open strings reminds me of Dickie Betts. Thanks for taking the time to include the helpful tabs.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks so much!

[@jimsliverootsculturemusic]

This is great! I'm going to save it along with your Desert Blues lesson and get to it later as this is so different from what I've been working on most (the blues). Thanks!

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

Damn you are very talented to be able to keep up with legends.

[@georgefenning4844]

Just incredible ..what a sound

[@shunlane253]

Absolutely beautiful! Nice!

[@BaseOfThePillar23]

This is great. His dad's version is one of my favorites. You should also check out Ali Farka Toure's "Lasidan" from his album with Ry Cooder. I think you'll dig it.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks so much! Nice suggestion- I do like that one!

[@dorianbertero]

Thank you for the helpful video. Best tutorial of this type of music I could find on KZbin. If you did more Mali Blues you’d have a subscriber for sure

[@markwhite2207]

Thanks for giving some love to some desert blues, one of my favourite guitar styles. Would love it if you covered BOMBINO & the track TAR HANI in particular, thanks, great channel.

[@dawdasonko2965]

The hand drum is called Calabash built out of west African pumpkin.The calabash called Mirango in Mandinka is a multi purpose item is used for eating and drinking as a bowl when turn over and besides eating or drinking it can be use for music as well.

[@drsteviejasengnsangma8739]

Amazing music!!! Great lesson

[@tristram6395]

Love your choice in songs. The drum is a Calabash. Ali and Vieux on permeant rotation at my place.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks! The drum sounds so cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@afsinkum8400]

Very good video, fun to watch. Thanks. I don't think this song is in E Frigian though. It's good old A minor.

[@omarsmith7083]

Thanks!

[@damp7820]

“Du Mali au Missisippi, Feel like going home”, a 2003 Martin Scorsese,s film. Where all began, where the blues comes from…

[@carterhampton6294]

Can you please break down some Travis Meeks/ days of the new alternate tuning songs

[@trevormccleery8131]

Please do more African music! Would love some Ghanaian highlife too!

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

This is new for me but I like it a lot! Ill try some more in the future! Thanks for watching!

[@davidekow]

I second this 🔥

[@dmyerstc55]

Very cool Heath

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks Don! Glad you liked it! 😀

[@Joao_Vasco]

Great cover! Could you please make a lesson on Big Joe Williams's highway 49 blues?

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks, Ill check it out! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@maxwellescobar3089]

I wasn't sure about this lesson..turned out very cool ..the intro is very arabesque flamenco.. phrigian scale .. nice one

[@nicolagiuseppe]

African had a really unique guitar style

[@polekaktusa7854]

Good bit Bro

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks man!

[@bflat4378]

Great lesson, very helpful ! But I want to properly learn the index technique, he uses both sides of the index, just like his father Ali Farka.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks- Yea Ali was the best. Ill keep working on this style and maybe ill do more videos on it in the future and include the index finger technique.

[@YoucefYoucef-f6t]

Waooo...vere good

[@davidekow]

[@Beatboxerskills]

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

[@Hedonkeviik]
