      . You really can’t acknowledge anything anymore , without someone being a smart arse . So give the guy a break for simply appreciating the level of craftsmanship .

    I came across this series of videos quite by chance, and just kept searching for the next tune. Not only some of the best playing I've heard, it was so relaxed, and you realize these guys aren't in any competition, or trying to out due each others... at this level of playing there's no "better than"... it's just three guys at the top of their craft, just having fun, in the grove.
    PS I'm a drummer, and I just couldn't resist grabbing som brushes and a nearby cajon ans just swing 'n' sway along.

      Absolutely. Class transcends all ego barriers and these guys have it by the bucketload. I'm a heavy rock/metalhead by default, but this is exhilarating stuff. The sheer enjoyment these guys get from just playing together is catching.

    I think the unsung hero of this vid is the guy in shorts out of view on the other side of TE - keeps a pumping bassline going through the whole song and monsters his solo with some very tasty chordal runs. Nice job bloke 🙂

      @davidmandelstamm8725 6 лет назад +3

      I saw TE in concert when he came to Clearwater not long ago. He's definitely a virtuoso of the first order. But the guy in shorts was equally awesome on this video, and the tone quality he coaxed out of his guitar was stellar!

    However, I would just like to say, just because it has a 12 bar progression, doe snot make it the blues..
    This was not the blues, nor was it ever anything near the birth of the blues..
    Absolutely zero blues.

    • @julianvickers
      @julianvickers 5 лет назад

      Blues has always fed into jazz, as they are both an integral part of the African-American musical tradition. The DNA of the blues is woven heavily into this performance, and many jazz standards, you only have to watch Richard's solo in this piece to hear the blues influence. Music genres aren't as rigidly defined as some people would like them to be

  • @majorrgeek

    Richard Smith and Jim Nichols beat the Aussie - his playing is too jerky for my liking while the other 2 play the blues real S..M...O..O..T..H the way it should be played
