You're right. And ... ( 1 month ago by ApocalypsePlough)
You're right. And she never shows up in these "Greatest Guitar Legends" lists in magazines, does she??
Because: a) She's a woman, b) She's country, and it's always been hip to hate country, c) She's a woman.
The Carter Family, though, will get it's deserved place in history. Hundreds of years from now, they will be remembered in the same way Mozart, Gershwin, Irving Berlin, et al, are remembered. I truly believe that.
As sad as it is to ... ( 1 month ago by jocwalk)
As sad as it is to say, you're right about Maybelle. The flip side of that is that the Carter Family gets too much credit for the music as much of their music was just traditional mountain music that A.P. Carter just re-arranged (if that), maybe changed the title, and recorded. Much of what was "written by A.P. Carter" was nothing of the sort. Still, they brought the music down from the hills and American music was never the same.
Well, everybody ... ( 1 month ago by ApocalypsePlough)
Well, everybody borrows/steals from someone else in the music field. Last night I watched a documentary about John Lennon and his musical influences. Almost all of his influences were American, and black, and he talked honestly about how certain riffs and harmonica playing and melodies from his songs, he took (stole) right from these singers, and changed them slightly.
The Rolling Stones stole from American blues singers. Bob Dylan from Woody Guthrie.

Elvis was a white man singing what black men had been singing for years. They don't get the credit, he does.....like you said about The Carter Family, their music was just traditional mountain music, brought down from the hills & re-arranged. But, they were the ones who popularized it, so that's where the credit goes. If they didn't bring it down from the hills and make it popular, few people would have heard it....certainly not people like me, who live hundreds of miles away.
This whole stealing ... ( 1 month ago by mistaruddy)
This whole stealing, borrowing idea is usually used to defend an agenda. No one creates anything completely from scratch unless you go back to the first time human beings uttered a sound, pounded on a log, or clanged metal together.
There are a lot of black musicians (B.B. King included) who were fans of Elvis.
When the Rolling Stones toured and played in front of thousands of people, they often booked old blues musicians as their opening act to pay homage for their influence. next message..
The UK blues scene ... ( 1 month ago by mistaruddy)
The UK blues scene allowed many Black American Blues musicians to tour and play over in Europe when their popularity, even amongst other black listeners, faded at home.
Now the most actual "stealing" was done during the birth of rock n roll when white artists would listen to black R & B, copy it as closely as possible, then release a "cover" record and make millions.
Many people use the blending and melding of musical styles to support their own bias in terms of cultural history.
Yeah, but I'm not ... ( 3 weeks ago by jocwalk)
Yeah, but I'm not talking about taking little riffs, melody runs or being "influenced" by the music. I'm talking about literally too many complete songs to list in which the entire tunes were put to paper and recorded in which the biggest change for the tune was the part that read "Written and Arranged by A. P. Carter." That's the difference in that I'm talking about an entire library of music in which Carter didn't write a note. This does not impact the huge influence he had, however.
No one at that time ... ( 3 weeks ago by tricolorpicks)
No one at that time was known for playing melody lines on the guitar. ???
Nick Lucas recorded the first guitar solos, Teasing the Frets and Picking the Guitar in 1922.
As a guitarist he was one of the most advanced soloists in the entire family of string instruments in that pivotal early period. He was so famous in the 1920s that Gibson made a guitar after his names sake, The Nick Lucas Special.
From what I ... ( 3 weeks ago by jocwalk)
From what I understand, he was known mostly as a singer and primarily did little jazz riffs with really short runs here and there. His primary "solo" playing was jazz style chord progressions. I'm not terribly familiar with his stuff but I know he came from a big band background. Django Reinhardt was far more influential. Still, Maybelle was recording entire tunes that had melody lines (not just short runs) played on the guitar. To my knowledge she was the first recorded doing that.
Im sure Maybelle ... ( 3 weeks ago by tricolorpicks)
Im sure Maybelle Carter heard of and was influenced by Nick Lucas. He made hundreds of recordings in the 1920s playing lead: My Best Girl (1924) # 4 hit, Brown Eyes Why Are You Blue? # 2 hit (1925) Im Looking at the World Through Rose Colored Glasses (1926) # 2 hit - just to name a few. Lonnie Johnson and Eddie Lang were other famous guitarists in the early 1920s, years before Maybelle waxed Wildwood Flower and way more efficient.
Right on ... ( 3 weeks ago by teasinthefrets)
Right on tricolorpicks, Im a big Carter style guitar fan but I must agree with you, Nick Lucas made many, many recordings of guitar leads, entire melody lines, etc. years before Maybelle Carter. He started recording in 1912. I love his guitar solos on I MIGHT HAVE KNOWN, WASTING MY LOVE ON YOU, YOU CANT STOP ME FROM DREAMING, but I still love the Carter style because its easier for me to do.
I love Maybelle too ... ( 3 weeks ago by keybebebeboo)
I love Maybelle too but Tricolorpicks is right, Nick Lucas is the person who brought guitar to the forefront, he was the first guitar star, and if it weren't for him all those folks you see playing guitar in the late 1920s would have been playing ukulele because before that the guitar was not the popular instrument of choice. Doc Watson, Les Paul, Merle Travis and others said they were influenced by Nick Lucas, and he did awesome lead guitar solos, e.g.-BROWN EYES WHY ARE YOU BLUE?-1925/#2 hit

I am going to throw a wrench into the system here. I realize that this is primarily a intellectual discussion, as it should be, but I would like to state the FACTS for all of the aforementioned posts and/or responses. No one has ever said that Maybelle Carter was the first person to introduce the guitar into popular music, because she simply was not. She was the first person in "Country Music" to use the guitar as a lead instrument and she did develop a style over time that was massively
Influential.I ... ( 2 weeks ago by Ridger1978)
Influential.I cannot say that she was or was not influenced by Nick Lucas, but it is referenced that she WAS influenced by early country guitar players..ie Sam and Kirk McGee. There are references to an African American man named Lesley Riddle that taught her the basic "Thumb and finger" style and she has praised him many times in the interviews that she gave for teaching her this. However, he did NOT teach her the scratch playing, that was a style that she taught herself;
She is the one who ... ( 2 weeks ago by Ridger1978)
She is the one who worked tirelessly for years to ensure that it would be carried on and she did it for the pure LOVE of it. She did it out of dignity and respect for the tradition and she did it with humbleness and total lack of ego. No matter who you are, where you are from- I think she is someone WE ALL could learn a thing or two from.
