Keb Mo (left) knows how to tell a story with the blues! Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.org

Keb Mo is good for the soul!  He’s a killer guitarist that can tell a great story like blues players are supposed to do.  If this is the first time you have heard of Keb Mo, then you’re in for a real treat because I put together a post with some very cool videos.  One of the best lessons to take away from Keb Mo is to keep it simple.  He isn’t a flashy player, instead he feels the blues with every note.  Have a listen to the great Keb Mo and enjoy!

Keb Mo gets real personal in this first video.  The performance features him with a guitar and his voice.  Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGLhk2C9nUk.

Keb Mo adds a drummer to his solo act in this next video, but it is still kept simple so the story can be heard above all else.  Hear the cool groove at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ZFg5-oaS0.

Keb Mo plays this next blues song as a solo act.  Mo kills it with the vocals and lyrics at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl9NkY6_IMY.

The last video is a performance with his band.  The song is called “Dirty Lowdown and Bad.”  Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDvlqfYqcWw&feature=related.

Keb Mo has a lot of great songs featured on YouTube so please continue to enjoy his music.  His vocals and guitar playing are top notch and when he puts on a great show whether he is backed by a band or not.  I hope you enjoyed watching these videos because I had a great time putting them together for you.

Thanks,

Griff

      P.S.- Sorry about the typo. SYNCHOPATE.

      Griff, I’ve been a Kevin Moore fan for years. I’ve always emulated the great fingerstyle blues guitarists, and he definetly falls into that realm. Being a fingerstyle player can be tough as it is not necessarily fashionable. But if you’re playing is mostly solo, nothing beats being able to nail both the treble and bass clef and sychopate them for a nice, full sound without the benfit of a band. Acoustically yours, SR

      A friend of mine told me about Keb Mo about two years ago. Hooked on his music ever since. I would encourage anyone who loves the blues to listen and enjoy.

    • Alan McCarthy

      I was very lucky to come across Keb Mo very early in his career and have been singing his praises to anyone who will listen ever since. Hearing his voice on the first song on his first album is something I will never forget.

    • Dennis

      You keep providing the best talent and inspiration for the stuck string players out here. Your vids get the juices going and the practice sessions longer! Keep them coming.

    • Chuck

      This is awesome! Out of this world! Great post Griff!

    • Ray_UK

      It’s odd how even when you love a genre you can somehow miss a great performer! Thanks Griff for the eye opener.. I’ve just bought the Scorcese Blues album featuring Keb Mo thanks to your Blog & I’m loving it!

      I’d sure second that request for a lesson in the style of.. Keb Mo 🙂

    • mark pappas

      i always wondered if Taj Mahal was a big influence on Keb Mo? they are two of my all time favorites.

    • John

      Thanks, Griff. What a talent. I’d love to see you provide a DVD lesson on “the style of Keb Mo” playing the different guitars (acoustic, electric, slide, etc.)
