Mr. Slim is brilliant. I was practicing guitar with his record playin along. I was lucky for having older brother and his blues records. I was 10 years old then. Now i am 34 years old, married, 2 kids, and i make a good living playing guitar and singing (alone).
You can see my channel - jimiguitar100- and see me playing, hope you'll like it

is it me or are his fingers kind of weird looking? i think his fingers were made to play the blues haha.

Not only does Slim have long fingers, he has long ligaments…This is why his finger curve upwards. His hands are a perfectly shaped to masterly play the piano. His fast runs are very accurate…there are no missing or badly played notes in his technique.

Its odd…when im down..the blues actually cheers me up!

When I hear blues I feel at home!

EPIC!!
The real blues king!

Pinteop Perkins and Jelly Roll Morton are also great.

MY GAWD, if those aren't the longest fingers in the history of life itself. I WISH I had those. I just started playing Professor Longhair, and it would make it a whole lot easier to perform some of the runs and turnarounds with fingers like that.

sucks to be him. hommie should smoke a joint and chill.

beautiful blues , thanks

que viva el blues… amo a estos malditos talentosos y superiores negros…

Brilliant!!!

You are more than welcome.And by the way,he moves the bass line to at least F and uses the same pattern F-C F-D..as far,as I can make out.His right hand is,I think,strongly rooted in the C scale,but I am not sure.I hope I have given you some additional help.

Haha i know what ya mean, i'm trying to listen out the notes i mean.. the riffs, the bass and all that if you know what i mean, thanks anyway

Hey,I do not know whether this helps,but for the most part his bass line is just the basic C-G C-A pattern..hope this helps…

man, its so rare to see a genius instrumentist and a great soulful singer in the same person. but, from times to times, they're born and become legends. May your songs last forever, Slim.

i agree with you you must get memphis slims paris missasipi blues that album is great

Along with Otis Spann, the greatest blues piano player of all times

Wanna learn to play this, i've been trying listening out the tones… but it's hard

this is so cool! My grandfather was Kansas Fields, and it's amazing to see him play here.

Are you speaking of Kansas? He lived in Paris for many years.

Would love a copy of this.
"Kansas"' family…

This is the composer of the tune.

Great album, with Willie Dixon and Alix Combelle's son, Philippe "Fifi" Combelle
