Great video mate! Learned a lot about stuff I've been long time searching for that resources about Freddie's use use of finger picks

[buddyollie]

Cool! Freddie is my favorite blues guitarist...

[haloskater]

Can you please do how to play like Otis Rush ?

[Braglemaster]

Freddie had his strap over one shoulder’

[timjoseph]

I don’t know if any one asked but you are tuned down a half step?

[jimcharles]

When I think about Freddie, I think of how he lets his bends down, bends up to a 5th and lets it down to a 4th in a very idiosyncratic way, picks it right before he lets it down

[rocka-billythekid]

"Do women howl?" 🤣 Idk bro I'm to busy playing guitar to talk to em.

[henryren]

Hey Brooks, you are really talented and you have a great sense of timing. Could you post something about the way you practice ? do you use a metronome when you're practicing licks ?

[dengie]

man can't work out what your playing there as a bit fast and dark !! what was the last song you were playing sounds the business

[DayTripperLennon]

Great tips man! You forgot to mention to not eat. Just drink bloody Mary's. After all, they've got food in 'me. Haha. Jk. 👍

[NothingelseVlone]

played this awesome piece at my school a couple years back freaking awesome! I subbed! check my channel if you have time. I'm a musician as well!

[davepilgrim]

You are quite mad. You are a good guitarist. You are not a good teacher.
Have you ever.. heard about great guitarists being good teachers? Me not. Keep bluesin' bro, cheers

[Braglemaster]

Wrong son, Freddie gets plenty of credit. Your too young to know.
