I like to say to people that Johnny is the greatest guitarist you’ve never heard of. Man was a straight up legend. RIP to the goat
He was nice on those strings!!
@@Devon_Rismay yessir!
It's a 6 gun...
Yes sir🎸 I’m
Trying to learn the slide
Johnny Winter didn’t have to get crazy & play behind his back or do other gimmicky things. He was brilliant & totally underrated. He played with lightning speed & unbelievable clarity. One of a kind.
Facts
"Speed & precision "
RIP JDW lll
Showman ship is just putting on a show...The Blues has plenty of showman and women.... showing off... blowing off some steam... Before Highways... flushing toilets
Johnny was a true bluesman, and singlehandedly resurrected Muddy's career out of love and respect for the legend.
And when Johnny was not well Paul Nelson helped Johnny get clean and back in the spotlight until he passed away. Good deeds all around.
Johnny was known as the fastest left hand in the business. I'm old enough and fortunate enough to have seen him a couple of times in his prime.
Thats awesome!!!
Yes! Johnny played this at Woodstock and
"Highway 61" is a slide guitar masterpiece.
Thanks for doing JW man. I’m 61 and been playin for 52yrs. Got to see JW a dozen times…he is the KING of blues hands down…
..... and thats Tommy Shannon on bass..... SRV's bassist in Double Trouble. Check out Johnny's track called Memory Pain..... effing ridiculous fretwork
I thought I was seeing things for a sec!!
I saw him live in 2003 at a festival in Italy. I was there to see Robert Plant but I am thankful every single day for having had the opportunity to see Johnny on stage. I'm a metalhead at heart, but he will always be my favourite guitarist.
U cant go wrong with johnny. R. I. P..he got m his props in early 70's he was king of the era for blues/rock. He was great at the blues ,gro wing up in southwest texas learning from all the old time greats. He also had a knack of running blues riffs thru a mess pf rock riffs.he earned the name "CAPTAIN SPEED FINGERS". HE REALLY EXCELLED WHEN HE & HIS BROTHET EDGAR GOT TOGETHER. THEN ALL THE YOUNG PLAYERS REALLY IDOLIZED & ADMIRED HIM. THEN THE 80's and heavy metal came around & kinda put the brakes on his popularity. By the 90's HE FADED AWAY INTO A CORNER. BUT AT ONE TIME HE COULDNT BE TOUCHED.
R.I.P CAPTAIN SPEED FINGERS. LONG MAY YOUR SOUL & SPIRIT PLAY ON THRU ETERNITY ! ❤
Johnny Winter . . the greatest slide player of all time.
The only one who matches him is Derek Trucks.
@@TheDivayenta that's what Johnny Winter thought too. Derek Trucks is the best slide guitarist is what Johnny's quoted as saying. Karen, there's too much distortion I think when Derek plays slide? With Johnny Winter, no matter how fast he's playing you hear every note! I'm going to have to say Johnny Winter is the finest electric slide guitarist that ever lived.
@@brianwells4507 I adore them both!
I've always thought it is funny that alot of folks say their not that into the blues, but when the blues are being played everyone is moving to it,
I grew up on this stuff, but almost nobody I knew was into the blues. I did talk a couple of people into seeing Alvin Lee with me and they loved it.
The most famous and popular guitarists are the ones who had the hits. They had the hits because their songs were commercial and because they had the right look for mass appeal. Johnny knew he was never going to be among the most popular. But he was among the best and that was enough.
Johnny was so underrated!!! Truly one of the greatest!!!
If you REALLY wanna see what Johnny can do, check out his rendition of "When you got a good Friend" live at Capitol Theatre 1984 (15 mins version)!
It'll blow your mind :)
I'll check it out
He used the Fender XII 12 string for slide with only 6 strings, the wider string spacing made it easier for him. Also looked really cool!
🤘🏾🤘🏾
Great review off a fantastic performance by the much underrated mind blowingly amazing Jonny Winter. He's dalu missed.
Great reaction throughout. Johnny has always been my personal favorite. He was at home in so many blues genres and I loved it when he took it to rock.
I think Still Alive And Well is one of the best albums ever made. Starting with Rock Me Baby and ending with Let It Bleed, it's a blues/rock masterpiece. Rock and Roll is his song on the album and he jams slide.
Johnny is one of my favorites of all time.
@@Devon_Rismay keep up the good work.
@@randybaker6042 thank u, I most definitely will
100% agree on the Still Alive and Well album. Love EVERYTHING Johnny, but Rock me Baby is straight up FIRE! Great reaction man
Agreed! Still Alive and Well is one of my favorite albums as well!
He strung that guitar with six strings. He loved the sound and feel of that particular guitar so much, he had to use it.
Great to see you reacting to Johnny Winter almost no one else does. His rhythm section Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton joined up with Stevie Ray to form Double Trouble.
👍🏾
Chris Layton was NEVER Johnny's drummer...do your homework. 📚
Gee willikers I'm sorry my comment caught you at such an emotional time in your period. But I was just relating what Clifford Antone said to a small group of us one night. Sorry .... Hope things get better for you.
@@vangannaway1015
Couldn't be better...thanks for coming out
I could feel a little RL Burnside in this joint. 🔥 Great reaction brother.
No cap! Bruh was playing them strings!!
I like your reactions. Tommy Shannon is on bass. He was part of double trouble with Stevie Ray. Check out Johnnie with his brother Edgar in this same set. Tobacco road. Johnnie toured with muddy Waters and I think this is in that style.
For an unrecognized talent Johnny filled a lot of arenas all over the world. For decades. Saw him play Ottawa in '75. The reinforced concrete stands moved like a trampoline.
A lot of the general public didn't really know Johnny but just about all the greats players knew who him well.
Uncle John Turner pounding the skins with metronome precision.
Caught Johnny live twice in the 80's. The first time he headlined with Little Charlie and Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Austin Opera House right before Stevie blew into the national scene. Stevie opened for Johnny. I had bruises on my arms and shoulders from everyone dancing and swinging their arms and elbows into everyone packed around them. Epic! Thank you for doing the video. That dude could get mean on that guitar!
Man I was at that same concert.
If you like Winter...you MUST hear him doing Ring the Bell live in Sweden. Unbelieveable.
Last time I saw Johnny was a few months before he passed. I took my son to see him at the Blusfest at Ft. Smith, Arkansas. He was one of those artists that played till the day he died. There were 2 people, one on each arm, helping him to the folding chair front center. They gave him his guitar and he melted our faces. I felt good to have turned my son on to a LEGEND.
His pure raw blues had a grove to...lovei it...go Johnny go!!!
Sadly I only got to see Johnny towards the end of his career, he was quite frail and was helped onto the stage, but man when he picked up the guitar he still kicked ass. Without a doubt one of the all time greats, Check out his version of Highway 61 Revisited, and Jumpin Jack Flash, imo the best ever version of the song. Great reaction btw.
Thanks! Check out latest johnny winter reaction
Johnny Winter was committed to the Blues... He wasn't a record company's bitch and WAS TRUE TO HIS CRAFT. That's why he didn't do as well as, lets say Led Zeppelin or Jimmy Hendrix....
*If you wanted to hear BLUES, Johnny Winter was the guy.*
I'm just SO GLAD, there's people like yourself who show interest in him.
No problem, anytime

*Edgar Winter- Lets Get it On*
Your reaction ?
Just in case you didn't notice The bass player is a young Tommy Shannon who later played as half of Double Trouble with another great Texas blues man SRV.
I've been a Johnny winter fan since 1974, Got to see him live four time. "Last Night off of white hot and blue is a personal favorite. Picked up 14 of his LPs
The Edgar Winter Group were extremely popular back in the day. I seen em open for BB King in 1978 in Willimantic CT. The Shaboo. Magnificent.
Johnny (the Texas Tornado) Winter a true blues Master! First time I saw him live was 1972 as Johnny Winter And. As a side note the bass player in this video is Tommy Shannon Who in later years played bass for Stevie Ray Vaghn and Double Trouble
Jonny was one of the greatest guitar players ever
Good choice. Johnny Winter was a complete badass and completely unappreciated. Another badass and completely unappreciated guitar player is Robin Trower.
Robin Trower is one of my favorites, seen him twice!
I saw Johnny live at a small club in Hollywood back in 1972
He sat in a chair and had 1 blue light shining on him and it just made him look blue too
What a nite
I think this one’s open tuning in G. It gets easier when you get the right open tuning but still, it takes a lot of understanding of Johnny’s phrasing. He’s lyrical.
Most definitely
I play this in standard tuning, with the song being key of A.. one of my favorites!
@@daveguitarnowski4402 I used to play it in standard tuning, and it can be done effectively. However, I change it to the proper tuning and it is quite a bit better because the inflexion’s change. It is authentic.
Good video like it... Can you imagine any other guitar player Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughan trying to stand on stage with him and play with him they wouldn't last two minutes it's not insulting to the other players it's just that Johnny's in his own time zone
everyone had their different talents
I hate to break it to ya they did play on stage! Hendrix and Winter that is.
@@gettalife5501 you're not breaking anything to me I have the CD Hendrix most of the time played the bass he played Tommy Shannon's base Johnny said in an article that he had to play down to Hendrix you're not breaking nothing to me you don't know what you're talking about
They never played on stage in front of an audience before you're full of crap
@@stevecocran4899 I think your making shit up! I would like to see some evidence of that were you there when the event took place how do you know for sure what went on?
I've followed Johnny for about 45 years...he was my 1st guitar hero❗
Personally, I wished he'd recorded an all acoustic album, because so many were blinded by his ferocious chops & high speed, relentless attack, on electric, unaware of his total capacity. The man was a virtuoso, with an encyclopedic knowledge of blues history, capable of all it's guitar styles. His drummer in your early video, Uncle Red Turner, spoke of these things, detailing how he could literally play along to any of his many 1000's of blues records, in his collection, including showing Tommy Shannon the Blues ropes. Tommy insisted both Johnny & his younger brother, Edgar, were both intellectual geniuses. Jimi Hendrix sought slide guitar lessons from Johnny & played bass guitar when they jammed at Johnny's manager's club, The Scene, in NYC...his manager was Steve Paul.
This video is a rare demonstration of him playing quieter, understated blues, without his typically flamboyant, overdriven distortion...enjoy;
ruclips.net/video/PRQzWTMtSIA/видео.html
He played a dobro on quite a few songs.
@@gettalife5501
National steel...generally speaking, dobro is typically associated with the country genre.
Johnny Winter is maybe along with Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix, in the top 3 all time Rock/Blues guitarists.
Wouldnt debate u there
IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT YET, HIS LIVE ALBUM, "JOHNNY WINTER AND" IS PROBABLY THE BEST EVER! YES, THAT'S THE NAME OF IT! "JOHNNY WINTER AND"...IT WAS RECORDED LIVE IN 1970! RICK DERRINGER WAS HIS RYTHM GUITARIST! ANOTHER IS THE STUDIO ALBUM "STILL ALIVE AND WELL" AFTER HE WAS RECOVERING FROM HEROIN ADDICTION! (NOTE: NOT YELLING, AS I USE CAPITALS ALL THE TIME AS MY EYESIGHT IS FAILING)...HE IS A LEGEND TO US DIE-HARD MUSICIANS, BUT SO MANY YOUNGER PEOPLE NEVER KNEW HIM AND ARE NOT AWARE OF HIM!...THANKS AGAIN FOR THE VIDEO AND REACTION DEVON! KEEP ON PLAYING THE BLUES AS YOU SOUND GREAT!
Next to Edgar and his mom and dad, I’m his next biggest fan. Highly underrated by those who should know better. RIP Johnny, we got your back.
Name 1 person within the business who thought he was underrated?? Also there is a big difference between underrated and unknown
Like recognizes like brother. Johnny woulda loved you if he met ya, just like you and me love him. Much love brother! Thank you for the fun!!! You know he and his brother were outcasts as children right?
Saw him countless times and he never disappointed.
I love seeing your joy listening! Me too in rural Iowa!
PS: His bassist there, Tommy Shannon, was later a mainstay in Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan's band.
First album I ever personally bought was Second Winter.
To play a 12 string task enough but to play it with a slide takes even more talent, Johnny had it.
Thanks for posting this awesome Johnny Winter BLUES....much love and respect to you brother.... I'm 68 years old now...and I been digging Mr Winter since I was 14 years old...
Johnny is badass
He never got the recognition he deserved. It was the late 60's early 70's. Everyone was into the Stones, Zepplin, Yes, etc, etc, etc. Saw him live in Cleveland in 1971 what he did that night is burned in my memory
I saw Johnny Winter when he filled Madison Square Garden in New York City, we had so much fun back then. Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end.
Amongst his peers he was very recognized. ✌✌☮
In the early 70s there were days where I’d listen to no one but Johnny. Had every record. Mean Town always one of my favorites. He uses a thumb pick which is why it sounds so different and is so damn hard to play.
Check out Before the Storm when he and Edgar were playing together.
One of my favorites! Thanks for covering Johnny!
Thank you my man for appreciating one of the guitar greats!! A legend indeed! RIP Johnny! He used to play in my city almost every year, I lost count on how many times I saw this phenomenal talent
That bass player in the back, looking like one of the Ramones, is none other than Tommy Shannon . He would later go on to become one of the players in Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughn's band. Can you imagine having a career where you share the stage with two such legends? He needs to write a book.
First concert ever seen when I was 16 James Cotton and Johnny Winter
I requested Johnny winters on a radio station once and they said the comedian and I said no the greatest guitar player of all time and they said never heard of him
My buddy showed me a Prince concert, where he only played blues songs....that concert made me LOVE his guitar playing....I can't find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAM!!!!...maybe you or your subs can suss it out!!!!!!!!!...it's a MUST WATCH!!!!
I love prince version of red house, badass!
Spot on Bro, Like your comments and including Prince too
Johnny was pretty universally considered the best slide player there was.
Phenomenal!
i still have the Second Winter album 50 years later
Nice sliding there, Devon!
Thank u!
@@Devon_RismayYou are most welcome!
I've seen a n lot of concerts in my day and seeing Johnny play in a small club was one of the best. He was absolutely the best guitarist I ever saw! Incredible!👍😎🎸🎶
It's important to understand how the"business" works! Talent takes you to the door, the rest is about what you're willing to give to be famous! If you know what I'm talking about! It truly is the Devil's kingdom
Johnny and brother? A talented pair
Johnny did use open tunings He like open D a lot but this tune is straight tuning.
Johnny and Rory I love my computer I get to listen to great players and I don't have to care what other people listen to
Have you heard MISSISSIPPI DELTA BLUES from ROCKPALEST yet , that's a good one by Johnny Winter , and so is THE MEDLEY , also from ROCKPALEST , THE MEDLEY does feature Johnny slidin!!!!!!
Nice slide playing brother.
Devon- omg! You got it, son!
Subbed!
The great Tommy Shannon is on bass. Years later, Shannon would join forces with yet another Texas blues guitar genius- Stevie Ray Vaughan!
Tommy is killer!
C ON MAN U CAN PLAY THAT RIFF
UN MAESTRO !!!!!
Yeah Baby, Good Pick
Did you notice that the bass player for Johnny back then (Tommy Shannon) is the same bass player on all the SRV videos you’ve reacted to? I first saw Johnny in 1970 ... he was incredible.
Couldn't miss him if I tried
I'm right with you about Johnny, I got all his stuff. Hey man - had to subscribe when I heard /saw you on RUclips - "Where Do I Have To Stand", you guys got a great sound, love you're playing. Mike
I appreciate that, workin on my Album now, when im done, I'll be producing a lot more content! Thank u
Every time I see see and the girl in the audience fri king the beer; you can see her thumb on top of the bottle. Back then, I remember doing that as a way to keep the beer from getting flat.
2 thumbs up!
Real nice you've given the great Johnny Winter a reaction! There is another guy i'm sure you've never heard of.....HOLLYWOOD FATS! True story when Stevie Ray Vaughan went out to California, with Mark Beno back around 1974/1975 to do a record with Beno, he was walking around downtown L.A./Hollywood and heard a guitar player that floored him....He called his brother Jimmy back in Texas and said, i've just heard the best Blues guitar he had ever heard. That guitar player was HOLLYWOOD FATS, who was actually the same as SRV at the time. Hollywood is in my top 10 all time guitar players! He was a master at the West Coast Jump and Swing, Blues, Rockabilly etc. A Monster guitarist....Here a taste of Fats ruclips.net/video/HquyEt8UXvY/видео.html The poster is AL BLAKE!! He has more of Fats, who also played with Muddy Waters, at age 14, also with Rod Piazza, The late great William Clark Harmonica Beast!, James Harman, and quite a few others.....There's few recordings of Fats out there, but they're all great!
I'll check em out
And i thought i was the only one to know of the late great Hollywood Fats! A monster guitar player, that influenced all those West Coast Jump and Swing players in Southern California. He was crazy good!!
He was the whitest White boy you ever saw,but his heart was pure southern blues and a credit to his culture and heritage.There was only one Johnny Winter.
Bro I love your channel man and I'm digging the way you play too bro how long you been playing? I'll have to check out some more of your stuff keep it up
Thank you bro, I've been playing for 12 years now
Check out this song on the album Johnny Winter And Live with Rick Derringer. Wow.
I grew up with that album! That was one of my favorite Johnny Winter albums of all time. Him hurt Derringer volley back and forth! And that version of jumping Jack flash was the best recorded by anybody!
Props for trying to jam along
he made a Dylan song his own - never before done
If you haven't already you need to check out the performance of Tabacco Road from this same show. Johnny backs Edgar, who goes to town... Some talented DNA....
That was a twelvestring that johnny put six strings on.
Your right man, he's one of the greatest, could listen to this one for hours!!!!
You're a great 🎤singer / guitarist 🎸yourself dude✅🙂
Thank you ❤️🙏🏾
Beaumont, Texas!
It's just sort of urban legend but I've heard it that Johnny, Billy Gibbons, and Rory Gallagher were the players Hendrix was most awed by. It's pretty believable, and I'm sure the feeling was mutual. There was just a tiny handful with those capabilities back then.
ok u got me now good mornin lill shoolgirl
You were right 12 strings!
he played this very song at WOODSTOCK, Stole the show! it was video taped, but very poor quality. he's been my favorite since i was 13, i am now 66 yrs old, Jonny passed ,I believe in 2014 at age 70 R.I.P.
I agree wholeheartedly. Prince does not get the recognition he deserves with the guitar.
Johny Winter ?
Must have ~`
The Woodstock performance is better he's in open G (DGDGBD) or Spanish tuning here and he used the 12 string because he liked the pickups and the sustain he got. Now don't miss JW doing "Dallas" on his National. Great reactions. Nothing undercover about Johnny, he was a major star, he was the best white blues singer by far, and he had a wild edge in his music that was strong and compelling. His American competitors included Jimi Hendrix, Mike Bloomfield, Terry Kath, Duane Allman, Elvin Bishop, but Johnny was the strongest singer, (Check "Be Careful With a Fool"). Order his first 2 CDs, then you own Johnny. Great reactions, don't forget Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Not sure why you thought that they were competitors blues and rock music isnt a competition and Johnny Winter wasn't about that he jammed with anyone it was in his soul and feeling. Jimi Hendrix and Johnny played toghether and were good friends.
@@gettalife5501 They competed for market in the concert scene and club scene for many years, that doesn't mean they didn't like each other, stop being a pecksniff, ok?
I went to a George Thorogood concert back in the '80's and was blessed that Johnny opened the show...after that the show was like...meh... 😬
