John Lee Hooker Youtube

Saturday, January 10th, 2009 | Blues, Electric Guitar, Guitar Legends, Youtube | 1 Comment

Here’s a guitar video of the incredible John Lee Hooker doing the tune Bad Like Jesse James, with his trademark vocals and simple repetitive riffs. His sound is recognisable after a couple of notes. The dialogue prior to the tune is Ry Cooder. Cooder’s has been responsible for supporting and exposing numerous musicians from various cultural backgrounds.

John Lee Hooker’s music is simple, but he plays exactly what is required, a lesson to guitar plares everywhere.
