T-bone Walker performs "Don't throw your love on me so strong" from The American Folk Blues Festival collection. He was a pioneer of electric guitar, and he has influenced a lot of blues guitar players like Chuck Berry, Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, BB King or SRV and many more... This was recorded in 1962 for the Horst Lippman's TV show called "Jazz gehört & gesehen" (Jazz heard & seen) on the SWF ( German TV station located in Baden-Baden). Also playing but not on the screen: Willie Dixon on bass Memphis Slim on piano Jump Jackson on drums

@deefjohnholler I agree with the T-Bone saying more in one phrase than those artists but it’s not because of race. It’s preference. You’re more open to T-Bone for whatever reason while being closed to those artists you mentioned. It ain’t a big thing. Causing hang-ups on a good video with some good vibes is, though. Race issues will never die if people like you keep this up. All this silliness over things no one can choose to be. No wonder “white” people play the blues now. It’s all our fault.
@vendetta00 “I don’t believe that old crap that you have to be black to play the blues.”—Buddy Guy.
@EasyAce
thanks. you’re right. i’ve looked at the other clips of t bone and he is holding ‘something’. i guessed he was strumming with the tip of the index. it must be as thick as sixpence to get such a great tone from it.
@mikexlong
he does have lovely tone doesn’t he? surely he’s not exclusively a thumb player? without the upstroke i think the thumb stops you from sending out an endless string of notes and gives the phrases more space although i have heard of some players up picking with the thumb (joe pass?) i’m always happy to be corrected. excuse my obsession with technique.
@deefjohnholler what about david gilmour?
@vantageIIx Your right. I was talking more about their innovation and style of play. Robert was the master of acoustic blues. T- Bone the master of and innovator of the electric blues and of course Jimi Hendrix used feedback to change the blues into a psychadelic rock style. Because of his early death Robert’s prime was late 20′s early 30′s whereas T-Bones prime is the 40′s and 50′s.
@doorsgirl100 I think T-Bone Walker was older than RJ…
@metart93 Just for a bit of bio on T-bone. He could sight read sheet music for the guitar and the piano, and he did play with jazz bands in Texas, Oklahoma, and California and jazzers don’t respect you unless you have the knowledge and the chops, so T-Bone probably had some knowledge of theory on top of his natural talent and one of a kind style.
T-Bone was really one of the best ever… and every now and then I have to play this vid to hear how good a guitar can really sound.
Why is there even a dislike button on this song?????
I love how he holds that guitar. So unorthodox yet so cool!!!
Is it just me or can anyone else hear a Lonnie Johnson influence in T Bone’s music?
This clip is a monument
Also, I find people who associate certain music with a certain colour of skin narrow-minded. Blues is a universal feeling, it has its roots in slavery and opression but everyone regardless of the colour of skin a person happens to be born with can have the blues and play it just as passionate.
@written12 k it’s a whole tone riff. (only 3? wt scales exist)
@deefjohnholler If you’re prejudiced against plectrums, you must not like T-Bone Walker much, since he’s using a plectrum here . . . ;)
@doorsgirl100 and before RJ – Charlie Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson ma’am…
…In fact T-Bone learned his chops following BLJ around, as well as learning from the likes of Lonnie Johnson and Charlie Christian
He’s not playing notes, he’s not “performing”, he’s just…
Bone just kills the intro to this song.
Bone just kill the intro to this song
wow. 12 villages are missing their idiots…
according to human evolution theory, they say apes evolve to humans then humans evolve to t-bone walkers
@written12
Don’t hate me for replying without an actual answer, but i doubt t-bone played that run with any knowledge of what it might actually mean in the realm of music theory. Him, like many others of his time learned to play the guitar mostly by ear then went back to learn the theory behind it when they needed it. My approach to learning from these guys is simply listening and copying by ear without really analyzing what they are doing to much, i find that you get the real feel that way =)
Wow, what playing. And the whole ensemble has a great chemistry. Memphis Slim weaves his spell but never gets in T-Bone’s way.
A question for the musically knowledgeable out there. At about 3:43 T-Bone plays a run that really sweat. It seems to be off the blues scale; maybe a run off some passing chord. Anyway, if any body can analyze it, please let me know.
what an amazingly clean recording visually and audio.
I wish I was borned in 1930′s,i would see all of the blues kings live,today I can only watch stupid justin bieber live !!!!!!!!
Whoawww whoawwww howwww hold up hold up! Where did that steam come from yikes ooo now this is so hot it just has to be the bluessssssssssssssssssssssss…
