Blues a rama

Alright, we're gonna do a little blues right here

We're gonna dedicate to a lot of my favorite blues guitarists

That have influenced me over the years

We can't touch on everybody because there's way too many of them

But, uh, we're gonna start off here

With a little bit of Muddy Waters and Jimmie Rodgers style

Right here we're gonna go way down to New Orleans

Do a little thing in the style of Eddie Jones

Better known as Guitar Slim

Over in Texas, and later in California, there was a guy

Called himself Johnny "Guitar" Watson

And his sound was a little bit like this

Now in Texas, another guy that came up after the great T-Bone Walker

And his style was a guy named Lowell Fulson

He played the blues a little bit like this

Now the one and only B.B. King

Influenced everybody once he came along

And his guitar playing, of course everybody knows

We're gonna play it one more time for B.B.

Yeah

Now Gatemouth Brown

The late great Gatemouth Brown

He played all kind of stuff when he played the blues

Back in the early days, he sounded something like this

Now Freddie King, he came from Texas also. Freddie also owed a lot

In his style to B.B. King, but he had a sound all his own too

And in just a minute, we're gonna show you just what that's all about

Now there was another King, of course you know. The one and only

Albert King. The man that bent strings into the stratosphere

When Albert played the blues, it sounded something like this

Yeah! And of course, Buddy Guy. When Buddy Guy

Played the blues, everybody went crazy. And he

Sounded something like this back in the early days

Now Albert Collins, the late great Albert Collins. The last time

I saw Albert, he said, "Take care of yourself, Duke. There's only

A few of us left." And Albert got on stage and he burned up the

House just before he passed away. I think he knew he was about to go

And when he played the blues, he'd roar and it sounded like this

Yeah, we just got one key left here, haha

That's E flat, so

I guess I might as well try and play a

Little bit like a guy named Duke Robillard
