I know some decent licks but i really should learn some more.

Never seen or heard of this film - but IMMEDIATELY recognized the younger player as Roger Mosely, best known as T.C. in the original 80's Magnum P.I. series. R.I.P Roger. You gave the world so many unforgettable characters and performances.

Cautionary Tale for Children:

In the late 80s my older brother and I shared an apartment during college. We were devout Magnum fans and watched every Thursday. Sadly, he and I have become completely estranged and haven't spoken in over 8 yrs. Not even the loss of our father last Jan broke the ice. Every time I run into Magnum reruns on cable, I catch as many as I can and am reminded of younger, happier times. Don't let this happen if there is any way to avoid or prevent it.

Why not just give him a call or meet, reach out? The worst that can happen is he won't want to talk in which case you've lost nothing. Sorry to hear this. I lived with my bro during college we didn't always get along growing up but he plays drums for me today.

Yeah no doubt. He's one of the first blues players I ever heard along with Muddy Waters.

Me too. When i first started out i copied him 100%
Except for his signature chord which i couldn't figure out by ear back then

Hey i was only 13 and Google was still 20 yrs out lol

Then one day i accidentally hit the A chord with my finger on the high G.
Don't know how or why but i did

There it was. I had no idea it was a 7th chord until a few yrs later.

I just coined it the Lighting Hopkins chord and impressed all my friends

Yup. You can go to the 5th fret "A" with your pinky and alternate back and forth between the G. Works great.
