It's u!🎉 The man! Been getting taught by u since the 80's in the guitar books, you're the bomb 💣 💥💨Thank you so much for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8
Late 70s, I rode my motorcycle from Huntington Beach to Riverside. JW was playing in a high school gym. No seats. Worked my way up to the stage. I was an 18yr old kid, in awe. Watched this 130lb, Crosseyed Albino, playing his Firebird, Fast & Loud!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Great stuff Andy
Why your the best kept secret on the internet is beyond be. Your videos are without a doubt, the best rock- blues instruction out there. Keep them coming.... Great work!
An excellent taking apart of Johnny Winter's use of Open D. He seemed to take a lot of simple movements and then execute them at lightning speed -- and your demonstration really helps show how it works. Very helpful. I'm an Open G player mainly, as Open D seems to have the main scale on the 'wrong strings' (which throws me off when I play in Open D), but, one must learn, and Johnny Winter's style is one of the best to learn... Thanks for posting this.
Andy Aledort has been my teacher since the early eighties, even though he didn't know it, courtesy of Guitar For The Practicing Musician. Thank you, Andy.
And if you had developed your ear instead of relying on tab you would have been teaching yourself since the eighties and probably saved a few thousand dollars.
Had the chance to see Johnny at `my father's place ` back in the day in Roslyn N.Y. He played a black Steinberger.. I remember thinking "what kinda guitar is that and how the hell can anybody be that great !"
Saw Winter at Hal and Mal's in Jackson, Mississippi as a kid back in '88. He only played for 45 minutes because he was sick. 5 minutes of that was a bass solo. Winter was amazing for the other 40. I'm currently digging into Cherry Lane's Best of Johnny Winter. Great stuff. Dug the interview you did with him.
Saw Johnny Winter in London .. the lights came up.. he walked about 2 paces from the side of the stage and started into a blistering run of notes and straight into the first number,, no how y'all doing or any of that stuff.. Great show and massive cheer when he swapped out the laser for the Firebird..
that's great--Johnny was truly phenomenal in every way & it's a true highlight of my life that I got to know and become friends with one of my biggest gtr heroes ever...the greatest!
Andy, Instant Subscriber. I seen your interview with Warren Dimartini. Very good. Informative. Saw you on RUclips playing some backyard pool party- you guys were cutting it up. Keep on playing. I like your tone, touch, phrasing. Keep it up Jim in Chicago.
Yes I do, love it--I play it from hearing the original Elmore James version, which is in D, and so is Johnny's studio version which he cut for "Winter of '88"...I can shoot a vid of it if you like...
Yes, I recently found a live version. Awesome video, up close and personal with the master making it look easy. Love that dude. Been a fan since forever.
Much thx Larken-I love Robt Nighthawk & Earl Hooker who are 2 guys w/a great wide & slow slide vibrato, which is where Mick Taylor got it…BB said he was trying to emulate Robt Nighthawk when he developed his finger vibrato…
@@AndyAledort777 , Ya Mick Taylor's vibrato is gold , on slide or just regular guitar. JW and MT are my 2 all time favorites . ( you too of course ) You really have JW's style down good . What year did you meet him ?
@@larken558 I first met Johnny in ‘88 but the first time I saw him was ‘73 at Madison Square Garden; by ‘92 we were friends & I went to his apartment & house a few times to sit & jam…it was crazy to me to be hanging out & playing gtrs w/one of my biggest heroes…
You'd have to adjust how you play it a bit. Open D is like Open G shifted over a string, the basic pentatonic scale is shifted one course towards the lower strings, and the highest string is a bit different. If you're an Open G player, it takes a bit of practice to get used to playing the scales in Open D, because they're shifted one string over. But Open D sounds so cool it's worth it.

Rt on Billy--glad you dig it! What year was that?
@Andy Aledort
I'm guessing around 76.
But it was the 70s And I'm old, so memory isn't my greatest attribute
@@billyclub9863 I saw JW in 76 at the Felt Forum in NYC w/Edgar on the “Together” tour-phenomenal
That has to be the best 5 minute slide lesson in the universe, thanks Andy!
Awesome thx man so glad you dig it!
You’ve been a big influence on my guitar journey. Andy thanks
Sure thing thank you-glad the videos have been helpful to you!
Great song, great lesson. Thanks Andy.
Thanks LP really glad you dig it--Happy Holidays!

My goodness this is selfless GOLD information. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so very much-really glad you dig it!
@@AndyAledort777 I’ve been playing for years and this is akin to Rory Block teaching me on VHS tapes, back in the 90’s.
Seriously, thank you.
@@Philo68 absolutely my pleasure! There are a ton of other instructional vids on my channel that I think you’ll dig also-chk em out!
@@AndyAledort777 An offer I can’t refuse!

It was a Laser gtr made for him by Mark Erlewine but it did look like a Steinberger....
Great! best instruction video ever🎉
Thx Nicky glad you are digging it!
THANK YOU so much for this lesson Andy !
Absolutely very glad you dig it!
Nice work you nailed it.
Got a chance to meet Johnny Winter at the Colonial Theater in Keene New Hampshire. Great job Bro.
thx man--I played there w Betts in 2006 or 7!
Very rad thank you 🤘🏻😎

thanks Michael--Johnny was a beautiful guy...chk the interview w/audio I put on my website:andyaledort.com/johnny-winter-interview-april-2004/
The best version on Highway 61 is on “Johnny Winter at the Fillmore East 10/3/70”

Keep on playing.
I like your tone, touch, phrasing. Keep it up
Jim in Chicago.
Thx Jim-great to hear from you & all the best!
As always, great stuff Andy!
thanK fellas!
I saw him in Springfield Va in the early 90's in a small club. He was standing right in front of me!
I loved Johnny and saw him many times, starting in 73 at MSG on the Still Alive and Well "comeback" tour...
Beautiful vibrato!
Thx-very glad you dig it! I learned a lot abt slide gtr from this one…
I just won a new subscriber
If you can make more slide guitar tutorials would be great
Sure thing-you got it
@@AndyAledort777 got your truefire slide guitar intro lessons....went and bought myself a SG 61 reissue. Thanks man.
@@redduketelemanthat’s awesome…I have a ‘61 vintage reissue…great gtr
Great lesson , you really got his style down good. Andy , what songs did Johnny play in Open A and which in Open D ?
Cheers Man ! 🇦🇺
thx glad you dig it!
Do you by chance play stranger blues? I've been trying to figure out tuning for it but I now think it may be key of d.
Yes I do, love it--I play it from hearing the original Elmore James version, which is in D, and so is Johnny's studio version which he cut for "Winter of '88"...I can shoot a vid of it if you like...
Yes, I recently found a live version. Awesome video, up close and personal with the master making it look easy. Love that dude. Been a fan since forever.
Great slow vibrato Andy . Thats not natural to a lot of players.. most have a fast natural vibrato.
Much thx Larken-I love Robt Nighthawk & Earl Hooker who are 2 guys w/a great wide & slow slide vibrato, which is where Mick Taylor got it…BB said he was trying to emulate Robt Nighthawk when he developed his finger vibrato…

do the same principles apply for open g?
You'd have to adjust how you play it a bit. Open D is like Open G shifted over a string, the basic pentatonic scale is shifted one course towards the lower strings, and the highest string is a bit different. If you're an Open G player, it takes a bit of practice to get used to playing the scales in Open D, because they're shifted one string over. But Open D sounds so cool it's worth it.
