I love the way you honor these older musicians Fil!
No problem!
Right? Just need some Rosetta Tharpe!
DITTO!
YES!!!!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙
Agree thanks. The Ash as well. And if not done already Skip James and Charlie Christian.
T-Bone Walker is awesome.
Amen!
Fact Check: TRUE
I met him when I was 2, and don't remember it! My Dad was a radio DJ and interviewed him in the Mississippi Delta on WDRU. My Dad loved him, so I do as well. I have met and saw BB and Albert many times before their deaths. Come to Cleveland, MS USA and vist the Grammy Museum and start your Path on the Mississippi Blues trail!.. See where BB, Albert, and Mr. Robert Johnson started. Just don't go in the summer. Cool days in summer are 95 degrees and humidity. October is nice.
Cool! Yeah I'm not good with heat!
If I ever get out of this place 🇬🇧, I'm heading straight for the Delta 😉👌
Great Jazzy sound . T Bone was one of the most sophisticated Blues players .
Famous for holding his guitar in that horizontal way .
Great performer, his voice is as soulful as his guitar playing!
👍
Just,,,,,WOW!!!!! There's just no beating the sound of the blues is there.
One of my favourite guitarists, he had such a great style about him, maybe my first introduction to jazz via the blues. Always loved those 9th chord runs he used so much.
👍
He creates a 9th chord with the bass playing the root of the chord when he plays a half diminshed chord on the I chord, it completely blew my mind when I figured that out. Man was a genius
The incredible lineup of jazz giants he's on stage with merit naming: Dizzy Gillespie, Teddy Wilson, Louis Bellson, Clark Terry, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, Jimmy Moody, Benny Carter and Bob Cranshaw.
T Bone has such stage presence, he delights in what he is doing and hlps us delight in it. Like BB he's a great and hugely influential guitarist, a great singer,, and most of all a great entertainer! Have always loved his jazzy single notes lines.
There's not a lot of T Bone on video but you found a fantastic clip to illustrate his great talent and charisma. I regret I never saw him perform live. Thanks!
No problem!
His feel and interpretation of the groove is another great and rare lesson😍
Never heard of him ! Am glad I found this analysis as I am going through your catalog of videos!
The way he holds that guitar ! Crazy! And his playing / well it’s just incredible ! Plus add the voice! So talented ! It’s so smooth and enjoyable to watch and listen to ! Thanks !
I have been back tracking a little bit. I had to have a mass removed from my spine at the V.A hospital so I missed some videos. Fil my brother I am trying hard not to sound like a crazy fan here... lol however... I really want you to know that I was listening to your music while I was stuck in the hospital. I was able to introduce a lot of people to your music and it really helped me get through one of the darkest times of my life. Thank you for your time and talent . ROCK
Thanks! Good that you're back! 🤘
Best of luck with your back man - try to be brave....
Yes, uniqueone, Fil helps many of us get thru some dark days. I empathize, been in the hospital myself 4x the past month. His channel and overall personality as a whole is inspiring and motivating! Feel better soon!! And thanks Fil! My fav YT channel ever!
Hey Gwendoln thank you and the others. I was wanting to touch base just a little. I have had 10 total back surgeries so having this mass done wasn’t bad at all how ever cancer is getting me and I am having trouble dealing. I find myself smiling when look at Fils videos I realize that he managed to take my mind completely off of it... I did want to tell Gwen that my Service dog is a black lab
Hey brad thank you so much. It means a lot to me. ... Hey Fil I am sorry my post kinda got away from the music. I have to say that you have great amazing fans. Everyone has been really nice and wishing me well. Thank you again for the music and your well wishes. As you know I was in the usmc and I added a link last night to your channel in one of my posts. I woke this morning to a shit ton of marines telling me what a amazing musician and singer you are. They all love the fact you don’t use backup tracks.
What a gem! I first learned the name T-Bone Walker from Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, who grew up in Dallas TX, where T-Bone is from, and were exposed to his music at a very young age. T-Bone Walker influenced every electric blues player that followed, and I love that you’ve highlighted him for one of your videos.
Wow. I'd not heard him previously (to my knowledge). He's amazing.
👍
I was jamming some T-Bone Walker this morning. Crazy
Nice!
Such a special and amazing talent Thank you Fil
Like all genius level musicians, Chuck Berry fused his influences to create something greater than the sum of it’s parts. I can definitely hear T-Bone’s influence on him as well as that of Muddy Waters, the storytelling & humor of Louis Jordan, the diction of Nat King Cole, and of course boogie woogie & country music.
Smooth as butter. Love the way these guys make their guitars talk. Good to see you go back to where it all began and another great analysis
Thanks!
Yes. Fil. The lines. You hear so many players when you hear T-Bone. He got so many people to put a guitar in their hands. I hear him. I hear Chicago. Great pick Fil. Nice job as always
Thanks!
Great to see a video highlighting Mr. T-Bone Walker. Was well-known and respected in his own era, but unfortunately his name not remembered among the great guitarist of 20th century often enough, as he probably deserves more to be. Love the video selection you used to highlight for this video I've watched this performance number of times myself.
Seems remarkable to me that T-Bone, (although a multi-instrumentalist) said in an interview his primary instrument was banjo until his later twenties, if I remember correct he said 27 or 28 years old, when he switched over predominately to electric guitar at that point.
He plays like he came out of the womb playing his entire life.
Great video!
What I love about the old school blues musicians is less is more. Produces music that affects me emotionally like no other form of music.
Yep!
Hey Fil... thank you for another great video buddy.
No problem!
Really smooth all the way around .
👍
Luv this you recognize the oldies
He plays and sings so well.
Just love listening to T bones lay back singing and legendary guitar work! And then he just rips it up!! As you said Fil he was born to play music! An absolute icon!! Brilliant vid Fil !!😀😀👌👌👌
Amen!
@Wings of Pegasus - Great Fil! I am impressed that you not only know the technique, but also the history, and somehow find the time to play yourself. Much respect for you.
Thanks Robert!
Great review, Fil! T Bone dripped with soul and swagger. Love it!
Thanks!
Pamela Fradette emergency blues🚑
Dizzy Gillespie is playing the trumpet in this one.
love T Bone's "Stormy Monday."
👍
T-bone Walker was a god. Often imitated but never duplicated.
OMG--had me from the first measure--So sublime!
👍
Recorded at Poplar Town Hall, can you believe.
I love T-Bone, you can feel what he's playing and singing...thank you again!!
No problem!
Sooo smooth and easy!
Thank you for sharing and your priceless comments on T-Bone Walker!
Stevie Ray Vaughan my brother loved T Bone Walker he was from Oak Cliff Texas . ❤❤ Stevie named his Dog T Bone.
Those lucky people in the audience!
What a fantastic musician. Just brilliant.
PHIL, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, T-BONE WAS THE MAN WHO CREATED A CERTAIN WAY OF PLAYING THE BLUES, A LIITLE DIFFERENT STYLE, STAGE ANTICS, SHOWMANSHIP, ECT. JIMI HENDRIX BORROWED SOME STAGE ANTICS, AND THINGS FROM HIM, AND OTHER PEOPLE TOO. BUT THAT IS HOW MUSIC EVOLVES, YOU HEAR SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND THEN YOU DO IT YOUR WAY.. IF THERE WAS NEVER A CHUCK BERRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL KEITH RICHARDS WOULD HAVE PLAYED IN HIS 55 YEAR CAREER, LOL, CHEERS, COUSIN FIGEL
Fil...yet ANOTHER good review! T-Bone Walker was one of the all-time greats! I’ve been listening to his guitar playing for years, and it NEVER gets old. Everything he ever played sounds as FRESH today as on the day he recorded it, and not many guitar players can claim that!
I enjoyed this so much. I'm definitely going to playback through tull performance from your link. I love knowing what to look for beyond what I'd notice on my own, Fil! Thanks!
No problem L
Thanks Fil an artist I’ve always heard of. Thanks to this fine channel now I see why.
No problem!
Another outstanding reaction. Magic Sam was another artist that had exceptional vocals!
Great story telling blues. Awesome player.
👍
I was listening to some T Bone Walker yesterday and wondered if you had done an analysis video .. Superb Fil 👍
Damn, that tone!!!!!
I love the drum sound here
👍
GOD BLESS YOU .thank you for keeping this WONDERFUL music alive .
No problem!
Great groove and voice. Sounds like he had a major influence on SRV too
👍
I think they were both from the same town in Texas so yeah definitely an influence! Oak Cliff???
Another fabulous study of a trail breaking artist.
Much thanks
No problem!
Thanks to BMI CD Club I stumbled onto T-Bone in the late 80s. Can't say enough about him, so good, so soulful in his sound. Thanks
Stevie Ray Vaughan was from Thibeaux's part of town: Oak Cliff, in Dallas. Also, T-bone showed Steve Miller how to play behind his back, as the story goes.
Yeah!
Fil, I can tell when you really REALLY admire a guitarist. You look at T Bone like you look at Eddie Van Halen.
I enjoy your videos so much! And learn a lot!
👍
Another great artist choice Fil. Another solid commentary.
Thanks!
Love me some Blues! Gettin' down to the roots, here, Fil! Thanks for the great vid, as always!
No problem!
Nice to see T-Bone Walker, feature on Your channel. the band did a great job on harmonizing their sound. dig Your analysis Fil,
Thanks Drew!
The outtro lick on "Hots On For Nowhere" by Led Zep is a straight T Bone lick.
👍
That's a beautiful instrument. Just gorgeous.
👍
His licks are "comfort food". He also has the worlds greatest back-up band: Gerald Wilson, Dizzy, Clarke Terry, James Moody, Al Cohn, Chuck Rainey, Louis Belson(?)
👍
Thibeaux was 55 years young doing this. He used to have Blind Lemon Jefferson over for dinner as a kid, so he listened to some good guitarists as a kid. Did he write Stormy Monday?
Yes that's right ☺
Just imagine this guy didn’t start playing electric guitar until he was 30 years old. Mind blowing
Thank you for taking a walk in the blues
No problem!
What a genius!!!
You have exposed me to so many great guitar players and musicians. Thanks!
No problem!
Bravo.... My personal favorite, swing blues....ooh yea. 😉
We owe a lot to him
👍
Another good one Fil, excellent choice and review. Thanks
Thanks!
I think he kicks up the guitar like a steal guitar so he can free up his lead hand. Thanks for sharing this!
Yesss the great T-Bone Walker..a huge influence on Chuck Berry...a very very fine player..lots of natural feel and emotion in his playing.great stuff!
👍
T-Bone! It doesn't get better. Thanks for this. Happy that you enjoy the old blues guys.
This is such a great concept and it is done so well!!! Thank you!!
No problem!
Love that era of blues guitar... The Holly grail.
👍
Check out Skywalker Airlines as well, and the documentary Ghengis Blues if you want to see an incredible story about Paul Pena. Two of my favorite musicians.
Wonderful player
👍
Cool & smooth 😎Fantastic analysis!
Thanks!
pure magic man
Just stellar stuff here. It speaks to the heritage of the blues and it's direct influence over all that is Rock N Roll........
👍
A MASTER AT HIS CRAFT .
👍
I so appreciate you exposing the greats of the past to the people now. I have also watched you play and appreciate your own talent, and your analysis. As a life long music lover non muscian you help me to understand in ways I was ignorant of. Thank you!
No problem!
Enjoyed the clip and the reaction. What struck me was the "jazzy" style of his chords.
Yep!
This is another great guitarist. Love this analysis video. Cheers Fil!
No problem!
If I ever start a band, there is DEFINITELY gonna be horns!!
😂👍
An artist that pours his/her soul through their hands and it comes out pure, is displaying God Givin Talent. We all have atleast one.....
Thank you Brits!
I do love that blues sound! Great choice for analysis!
Thanks!
This guy and BB are my favorites! Phil, lets hear you play a cover!
That's actually a great suggestion. Fil's a good guitar player but would be cool to hear him put down the 'super strat' and pick up an ES that's avalable. He could do it, i know.
Maybe one day! Unfortunately I don't have an ES lying around at the moment! 😂
Honest answer ! I see your 'arsenal' in the background. I have one but don't have room to have hardly any of them out anymore. Had a Nice Memphis 335 from the '80s. A good one, set neck and all. Had to sell it then found a nice Ibanez Artcore series AS-73 about 10 years ago, sort of an SA-100 or whatever John Scofield used to play but affordable. Norm's was GOTDing a '63 335 last night and mentioned EC. I've had my knockoff revved up for Cream Goodbyes 'Sitting On Top Of The World' more than once. No 'shred' but i saw both EVH and YJM quote that intro and first solo. Worth a look/see :)
Thats music !
Really good, he has a great style and very tasty playing that is natural.. the whole band is good
👍
Awesome!
👍
I have plenty of T-Bone on my playlist to this day. Silky smooth and so nice. I can't believe I did not find this review until today.
Such an amazing track you found! Very cool that just about every one on that stage is playing a custom instrument.
👍
Great player.
👍
So good
👍
And the songs he wrote I believe Stormy Monday was one of the most reproduced. Excellent tune
Still loving your sense of history. Right before you said it I was thinking, "He has Chuck Berry type moves/showmanship". Hey, I've been looking at a new young artist that I believe was mentored some by B.B. King, so is part of T-Bone's legacy. Learned to play at the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi, just a hop skip and a jump south of B.B.'s home in Memphis--and not too far as the crow flies from where I was born and raised. Christone "KINGFISH" Ingram--plays mostly blues, but does a guitar version of "Purple Rain" that climaxes nicely--check him out if you haven't already.
Man, Kingfish... that kid can tear up a guitar. He sings and plays like he's already lived 80 years.
I've seen him before! Plays like a seasoned blues veteran! He's good!👍😎🎸🎶
Cool! Thanks!
Great suggestion!
Amazing💕 He is quite the character. Excellent.
👍
Those original P- 90's are killer
👍
Fil has excellent analysis….picks out stuff you may not have noticed, because details matter.
You can go straightaway to a favorite painting in a museum, but have missed a finer point that a master can show you.
Share these Fil lessons with budding musicians in your life. Use the Share Arrow above to forward in an email. Hats off for Fil, he’s providing wonderful enjoyment, like he does with his own guitar.
Thanks!
