Ragtime blues, Delta, Chicago Swing, Bottleneck, Piedmont - from Texas To The Delta In this video we're going to take a look at the style and technique, the finger picking style of Big Bill Broonzy, the great Chicago swing blues man. Big Bill's style is quite unique because of this swing element which he achieved with a strong thumb stroke. Many people play this thumb stroke in a simplified way. For example, you would hit a bass note with your thumb and then damp it, but in fact Big bill didn't do this. He actually brushed across two or three bass notes with his thumb and then damped, which is a quite difficult to do. in the short video that follows for a little bit of fun I filmed myself in black and white jamming along with big bill - I wish now! For this piece electronically I clipped the high frequency wave forms and also a boost of the basses a little bit to try and get that at old feel, but of course no electronic waves can make you swing in the same way that Big Bill did. We just need to practice a lot to try and get this grea,t great effect. I'm still trying! See what you think ... [Music] As you probably noticed in that video I used a plastic thumb pick because I wanted to try and get that big bass sound. But build Bi Bill Broponzy didn't do that. He just had his bare thumb and he used one finger as well. He swung along providing that fantastic solid bass rhythm. He was once asked how he achieved this swing sound and he said that 'playing music is like riding a horse. Strangely enough, you can move along at the same speed but you can choose to sit on the back of the horse or you can sit on the front of the horse. He said, when I play music I sit on the back of the horse, so his thumb beat slightly lags behind the real beat and it creates this swing feel. It's a tough technique to master. For our practice piece today I'm going to take a look at the Glory of Love. Big Bill recorded this and it was a Tin Pan Alley, song a very popular song like a pop song of today. He played it in the key of C. He played a C in this form so that his little finger was free to move around the treble strings and similarly with the F chord in this shape. But of course the whole time you maintain that beat. [Music] "The Glory Of Love" You've got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. You've got to laugh a little, cry a little, until the clouds roll by a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. As long as there's the two of us, we've got the world and all its charms. And when the world ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXw58dApHag
