🧹

Originally recorded as "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" by Robert Johnson in 1936, James’ recording made the song a classic.
His slide guitar adaptation of Johnson's triplet figure has been identified as one of the most famous blues guitar riffs.

Originally a bluesman, but very important in the development of rock 'n' roll, is Elmore James (1918~1963), dead of a heart attack at 44.

Make sure your legs are in good condition – you're going to need to dance, or at least tap both feet!

Here is an interesting coincidence. It was 60 years ago today the the music world lost legendary blues guitarist #ElmoreJames. Also on this day #PeterGreen played his final gig with #FleetwoodMac. Elmore James was one of his primary influences.

El bluesman #ElmoreJames nació el 27 de enero de 1918. Este es el Riff con #slide de la versión que hizo del "Dust My Broom" de #RobertJohnson: https://riffstory.com/tag/dust-my-broom/

Y del "Dust My Broom", lo primero que hay registrado no es de #ElmoreJames, sino de #RobertJohnson, en la prehistoria del Delta del Mississippi, como quien dice.

#TheYardbirds con #JeffBeck al parato de seis cuerdas.

Y por cositas como ésta (1:33) es por lo que #JeffBeck fue, es y será mi favorito de los tres superguitarristas que tuvieron #TheYardbirds
Me gusta aussi el solo de "The Nazz Are Blue" (tema que es un robo descarado del "Dust My Broom" de #ElmoreJames)
En fin: Jeff y compañía, deleitadnos con "You're a Better Man Than I"
(¡Ay Paquiño, qué de leite!)
