Great, clear, and grounded in knowledge and context. If a bit high-tempo.
The reverend's lessons are some of the best I've found on the internet, the only annoyance I have is that he often plays like he has somewhere to be. Often in near double tempo compared to the original he's teaching. Which would be less of a deal if slowing the videos didn't mess with the audio quality so much. If truefire had a better audio compression system, this would be absolute gold.

Rev Jones I thank you
Rev. Jones has done an amazing job in showing us what our blues heroes would have sounded like in person and his ability to teach it in such a way that provides us with the ability to allow our blues heroes to live through us is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rev Jones, for your hard work and dedication that has provided us such a great resource!!

A True American Blues Griot!
In West Africa, there are a class of elders who maintain oral history passed down through the generations via the arts (poetry, music, spoken word). These people are referred to as "Griots". Reverend Robert Jones is every bit of an American Griot as there comes! His preservation of not only the historical people, places and events surrounding blues music, but also the various playing styles of the forefathers (and mothers) of blues, jazz, and rock music is always a privilege to witness! Whether its 6-string, 12-string, a resonator or a banjo, Reverend Jones will play with pride, all while giving historical insight to beginners and advanced learners alike! What a gem!

One of a Kind
Rev. Jones has proven himself to be not just a great player, but a great instructor and storyteller. He has an understanding of the blues to really express its spirituality and expression. Given his knowledge of blues history, He is a prime example of how knowing the history of the music you're playing improves your style.
