In this episode of The Blues Guitar Show, we dive deep into the life, legacy, and unmistakable style of Lightnin’ Hopkins—one of the most influential blues guitarists of all time. From his early days in rural Texas, learning from legends like Blind Lemon Jefferson, to his rise as a prolific recording artist with over 800 songs, Hopkins shaped the sound of Texas blues like no one else.

We break down his unique guitar style, his loose, improvisational approach to rhythm, and his signature boogie bass lines that made his playing instantly recognizable. We’ll also explore the tunings and techniques that set him apart, his go-to Gibson acoustics and hollow-body electrics, and how his raw, percussive fingerpicking continues to inspire guitarists today.

If you love blues guitar and want to get inside the mind (and fingers) of one of its greatest players, this episode is for you! Tune in, grab your guitar, and get ready to unlock the sound of Lightnin’ Hopkins.
