A Resonator guitar with a bottleneck slidewas a favorite in the Delta blues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I recently picked up a resonator guitar and have really enjoyed messing around with it.\u00a0 So I thought it would be fun to do a little research about resonator guitars and check out some videos with guitarists playing their own guitars.\u00a0 I put together a few of my favorite videos featuring resonator guitarists and even a video explaining the differences between select resonator guitars and some buying tips for them.\u00a0 Overall, I think you’ll dig the videos I put together because they include great information about resonator guitars and some very cool performances on them.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy the post since I had a great time making it for you.<\/p>\n

The first video comes from Keni Lee Burgess.\u00a0 Burgess has definitely done his research about vintage guitars and has provided a great introduction and history of resonator guitars on Youtube.\u00a0 Check out his video at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aX2ZDDr7Hsc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next video features an intimate blues jam on a resonator guitar with guitarist, Kirk Lorange.\u00a0 This performance was on of the first videos I found and helped inspire my choice to produce this post.\u00a0 It’s a very cool jam that I think you’ll have fun listening to.\u00a0 Check it out at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fMkcE87CzCg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I found a good video featuring blues guitar legend Bukka White next.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the audio isn’t at its best in the video, but it definitely looks good.\u00a0 Bukka White, or Booker T. Washington White, was a Delta blues guitarist and singer that was known best on his National resonator guitar.\u00a0 Check out the video at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pkhj9z14TBo&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next video features a resonator guitarist and singer, accompanied by a violin and harmonica player.\u00a0 I thought it was a cool little trio and a good jam, plus I dug the guy’s voice.\u00a0 See the video at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QDfS9sulSHI&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The last video I will leave you with features a performance by blues guitarist Bob Brozman.\u00a0 He plays a mean resonator guitar and sings “Highway 49 Blues” at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FuzfgagmrBk&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The resonator guitar coupled with a bottleneck slide offers a very cool and authentic blues sound.\u00a0 There are a lot of great resonator guitar players to check out, but I hope you got something out of this little feature.\u00a0 I definitely enjoyed these performances and learned more about the resonator guitar.\u00a0 I think I’ll go jam a little bit myself.<\/p>\n

Thanks and take care!<\/p>\n
