GOIN' DOWN SLOW

Hän on Sam Lightnin' Hopkins - Texasin bluesperinteen isä, joka on tehnyt suuren vaikutuksen moniin häntä kuuluisammaksi tulleisiin kitaristeihin ja muusikoihin.

Hopkinsin kitaransoittotekniikka on loistava ja laulut 'sitä ihteään': kaikki menee pieleen, mutta kyllä se siitä - 'some day...'.

Lightnin' Hopkins- Baby please don't go
His style was born from spending many hours playing informally without a backing band. His distinctive style often included playing, in effect, bass, rhythm, lead His style was born from spending many hours playing informally without a backing band.

His distinctive style often included playing, in effect, bass, rhythm, lead, percussion, and vocals, all at the same time.

His musical phrasing would often include a long low note at the beginning, the rhythm played in the middle range, then the lead in the high range. By playing this quickly - with occasional slaps of the guitar - the effect of bass, rhythm, percussion and lead would be created. (from wikipedia.org)

(Baby, Please Don't Go on monien kuuluisien kitaristien ja laulajien coveroima biisi. Myös Lightningin versio on cover. Huomattakoon, että Johnny Winter - Texasin miehiä hänkin - käyttää samantyyppistä näppäilytekniikkaa kuin Lightning.)
