Although he usually performed solo, Hopkins was a gregarious spirit who thoroughly engaged his audience. Sitting on stage with his gold front teeth flashing, he tapped his feet enthusiastically and sometimes danced in his seat. Instrumentally, his dynamics were unmatched, as he went from soft bass accompaniment of his vocals to loud, screaming treble riffs up the neck of his amplified acoustic guitar in a seamless, and seemingly effortless display. Hand gestures, facial expressions ranging from sorrow to wry grins, and other body language added to the expressiveness of his act. His instrumental virtuosity, however, was never an end in itself. Rather, he placed it in the service of his art, which was simply, the blues.
In addition to his standard songs, like many bluesmen, Hopkins' often composed impromptu lyrics and melodic variations. No two sets by him were ever the same. He was a fluent stage performer whose banter disarmed audiences. His songs were often humorous and self-deprecating but also bespoke the suffering that typifies the blues. Yet for Hopkins, one did not have to be either poor or black to know the blues: "If you've ever had a sad feeling," he said in an interview, "you can tell the whole round world you ain't got nothing but the blues."
