Subject: RE: Pop Staples' guitar style From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 05 Feb 04 - 09:37 AM Somewhere along the line, Pops listened to a lot of blues guitar. I learned finger-picked guitar from Dave Van Ronk, and the licks work fine for black gospel. We do several songs that we learned from the Staples Singers. Jerry |

Subject: Pop Staples' guitar style From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 05 Feb 04 - 09:34 AM I enjoyed the UK Channel 4 3-part series "The Voice" although the clips were too short compared with the "talking heads" but I gather there will be the inevitable CD tie-in issued. However, I was interested when Mavis (?) Staples said in the last programme that Pop Staples wouldn't allow them to listen to blues or rock music, because in the black and white clip of the Staples singers that they showed he was playing the guitar in a style very much in the tradition of Fred McDowell and R.L.Burnside. Perhaps it was only the lyrics that (potentially)corrupted not the music! RtS |
