Off the Cuff Groove #2: Ain’t Superstitious

Here’s another live looped groove: A favorite old blues tune of mine by Willie Dixon, “Ain’t Superstitious.” Sure, there were covers by Jeff Beck and Megadeath, but I grew up listening to the Howlin’ Wolf London Sessions version with Eric Clapton on guitar. I used to sing and play this in my very first blues band: “The Loose Tubes” … way back in time.

    Hi Jonathon! I made a little painting as a gift for you and your wonderful works: http://benjogan.deviantart.com/#/d4srej2
    you can check it on my Deviantart account. It’s a bit sketchy since I did it in a rush, but I only wanted to try a new technique and capture a particoular feeling, if you know what I mean. Hope you like (sorry – that’s not my best *sigh*). If you want a copy of the file I can send it to your e-mail.

    Hi Jonathon! I enjoyed this video clip very much. You are an amazingly talented musician!

    I have also been enjoying your tutorial videos on Youtube (blues licks and how to play a funk groove on the piano). You are such a great teacher. Your videos are so easy to understand and to put into practice.

    I have a couple of very important gigs coming up soon and your tutorial videos are helping me so much! Thank you for all your help! Please keep up your awesome work!

    Aloha,
    Keiko

    Hi Jonathon,

    I really appreciate your music and your video tutorials on youtube.

    I am just curious which hardware and software you are using. Maybe you could tell us a little about your setup?

    Hey Jonathon, loved the video. keep them coming. I sometimes take a while to pick up the feel from the sheet music (like in your How to play a funk groove) but by the time I’ve played it a billion times and sent my wife and kids over the edge, it soulds OK.
