dchristo Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 he sounds and plays great, but looks like he should be driving miss Daisy
BluesKing777 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Really nice and I want that Gibson L-00! (They told him it might take a little bit of practice to learn blues pickin', but keep at it). BluesKing777.

onewilyfool Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I wish I could learn to strum with a thumb pick like that...every time I try it it sounds like crap....lol great vid!
blindboygrunt Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I wish I could learn to strum with a thumb pick like that...every time I try it it sounds like crap....lol great vid! hey wily he looks like he has a few years practice on us i'm struggling with thumb rhythm too and could never use a thumb pick , just kept trippin over it tried these (the speed pick version) and while i'm not an overnight sensation at least it wasnt the equivalent of taping a hubcap to my thumb the yellow ones i like best because theyre softer and can be grabbed for a quick strum like this old dog does in his video you can also trim one short to begin with so its just a tiny extension of your thumb. i'm still closer to bette davis than rev gary davis but theyre worth a couple of pence for the hell of it . i certainly wasnt getting anywhere with regular thumbpicks any of the rest of you guys tried these? http://fredkellypicks.com/

j45nick Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 James Clem isn't exactly a newcomer to the blues scene. Check out his website, jamesclem.com.
GotTheSilver Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 That sounded great. Excellent playing and a really nice sounding L-00! Thanks for posting.
pfox14 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Is the Gibson L-00 the best blues guitar or what???
pfox14 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Here's a more "up-tempo" version - gotta love Bon Scott's outfit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VlRUIHwygc
livemusic Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 James Clem isn't exactly a newcomer to the blues scene. Check out his website, jamesclem.com. Thanks for that, I have come across videos of him, had no idea who he is. He's good and love that guitar! His website mentions a 1930s L-00 but the one in this video looks too new for that! If it's 80 years old, it's in unbelievable shape.
