Johnny Winter is a perfect example of it's not what you play that makes you great, its how you play that makes you great. A how,how,how. What a master guitar player beyond. Love you Johnny. Peace,love and happiness wherever you are.

Jimmy Page is 100% studio. 100 takes. If you listen to him live it’s almost always awful. He is incapable of improvisation. He is the most overrated guitar player in rock history. He wrote some good riffs (the few he didn’t steal), but yeah, he is not great.
he's playing rhythm guitar, and lead at the same time while singing, and also adding little fills ...most guitar players can do one of those.... not all three at the same time . Incredible
@stevejeffrey11 Really incredible, as you say. Listen to full live version of "It's My Fault". The go between with Winters and Rick Derringer has never been equaled. Same bassist!
I saw Johnnie at the Vulcan gas company in Austin Texas 1970. He played be careful with a fool. He continues to blow me away even today he’s a master he’s a genius and totally underrated rest in peace Johnnie
Isn't it great when you finally hear a great after so many years. Hey, listen to Johnny's 10 minute opus "It's My Own Fault" with Rick Derringer sometimes, or his "Captured Live" album. You'll like.
Fuck yeah,. Saw Johnny at Denver Pop Festival 1969, then sat and drank with him at the Bottom Line in New York 1977 while James Cotton and Matt Murphy played on stage.
@James Cox No doubt !! IMHO the only two white guys that could properly play AND sing the blues were Johnny and Rory Gallagher RIP it up in the next dimension Boys !!!
I am 67 years old and he was on the first bill that I saw at The Filmore East, billed as Winter. He blew me away. An incredible bluesman. I am still taken aback when he starts soloing on this song. RIP
And I'll add yet another comment. I have listened to this song over and over, and I've been listening to it for 57 years! And like someone else said, it gives me chills every time. I can't even listen fast enough to hear the notes that he plays? How about the tastefulness of his solo. Pure and clean!
I still remember buying this album in vinyl as a teenager when it came out on Columbia records. Also, The Progressive Blues Experiment on Imperial records. Great music. Joe I am in my 60s now. Still alive and well
I got this record when I was 13 and it blew my mind then and it is blowing my mind again right now, almost 50 years later. I've been playing guitar that whole time and have listened far and wide and there is still no one who plays like this!!
You just can't play any better than this! Finally got a Grammy after he "moved on." He was the first white person inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1988. Much better caliber of inductees than what's in Cleveland. Rest in Peace Johnny, your music and contributions will live on. The records you produced with Muddy Waters such as Hard Again are as good as any in the genre. Thanks for all of your wonderful work. Much respect! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_Hall_of_Fame
@@larryduvall9475 Yes, 3 albums that he produced for Muddy won Grammys. He won 1 for himself posthumously. Not that he needed an award to validate his guitar prowess. Take care.
I remember when I first heard this in my teens and it blew my mind, I had to go take a walk and reflect on what I just heard. Today it still has a powerful effect.
Thank You to all the fantastic musicians from the 1950's to the 1980's for recording great music for us to hear today so we don't have to listen to a lot of the awful music of today.
I saw him in 1970 at a small venue in S.F. Event was billed as 3 Kings and a Winter. Things are hazy from then but I think the club was The Matrix and it was Albert, Freddy, and B.B King. All of them played far too loud for a small place, had to stuff my ears with paper. Johnny played last, they walked him out cause he was probably doing smack but once they hung his guitar around his neck he perked right up and played great. Sadly my only time seeing him.
Saw Johnny Live at least a dozen times back in the 70s .. Never failed to play His ass off .. Love Tommy Shannons Bass lines too and they continued to be incredible through SRV !!
JOHNNY WINTER IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER,PLAYED THE BLUES BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHERS . THIS IS A MASTER PIECE,BEING PLAYED AND SUNG BY A GENIUS GUITARIST,MUSICIAN!!!!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶LISTEN TO THIS FANTASTIC GUITAR PLAYING. GREAT PLAYING.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😎✌️BOB.
Been a fan since 69’. Saw him in 70’ at a small club downtown. We’re we’re standing at the small stage when Johnny and his band walked through the bar to the stage. Rick Derringer was playing with the band too. It was awesome. 10 feet away from him. Had to see 5 more times after that. Once with Muddy Waters.
chris pucino Saw him in a town called Groningen just a couple of months before he died. Worst concert ever, but I did not care......there he was, my all time Johnny Winter in that cold Dutch town.
sküll düggery he was pretty much forced to comeback by Paul. I couldn't bear to see him like this... I saw him throughout his better years starting in the late 60's... the guy really went through a lot... should never have comeback.
I saw Johnny play at the Vulcan gas Company in Austin Texas in the year of 1970. He played be careful with a fool. It blew me out the door!!. He was in a zone few have ever been. How sadly underrated he was. Rest in peace Johnnie!
His was my mine and my best friend’s first ever concert in 1974. Almost 50 years and countless concerts we’ve still best friends. Music: the ties that bind. Thank you, Johnny! Incredible talent!
Like, if you’re listening to this on a friday afternoon at work where you have nothing to do, just to sit smiling behind your desk because of this glorius music , and want to go home to plug-in your favorite guitar and play some blues...
What's driving people's reaction, IMO, is pure soul. Johnny Winter was truly one of the great blues/rock guitarists but he didn't play any "outside" or jazzy stuff, he stayed within the idiom. He didn't play any licks other guitarists hadn't played. It was the way it all flowed through him plus the tone, so pure & with no effects on the guitar that I could hear. This is honest, workingman's music, nothing fancy but so amazingly good & so deeply satisfying.
Same thing happen to me, and btw it was the last show he did of his life and he was dead the day just after the show. However he was not playing like he did at his prime, but I'll regret all my fking life too
Ha. My brother John was an incredible blues guitarist and a Johnny Winter fan. He needed a bass, so I learned this complete album when I was 12 so i could play along wmy older brothers. Got a gig as a bassist with the Erie Orchestra when i was 20. I always thought i would retire and play the blues with my brother again, but he died a couple of years back. I have been in music my whole life, 60 + years ( I am 67), and Johnny Winter feels like family in my heart. Saw him play every time he came through Cleveland.
Beyond Hendrix, Albert King, Texas has such a unique Blues swag to it.Buddy guy used to laugh @ Texas blues, & the he heard Johnny & SRV.Absolute DemiGod Mr. Johnny Winter 💙 I salute you.
I saw Johnny Winter with this band ( Tommy Shannon-Bass, Uncle John-Drums ) at the Laurel Pop Festival in Laurel,Md. in July 11th. 1969. I was at the record store the next day buying this album.
One of the few Rock and Roll acts I regret that I have never seen . My bad. And I have seen Frank Zappa Pink Floyd and Albert Collins. Johnny Winters. I wish he was still alive and well.
One of the most heart wringing, soul scorching blues tunes ever. It connects your belly button directly to the obdula oblongada, grips and rips like Predator on safari. My sac is aflame
There is a word thrown around a lot today; mostly IMHO used too frequently ; ICONIC!!! This man alongside his brother Edgar are truly epitomize the term!
I remember buying this album after hearing him at Woodstock. I was disappointed when I realized that Meantown Blues wasn't on it. But I wasn't disappointed long when I realized I just fell in love with Johnny's guitar playing , and that Voice of his was a voice I would never forget. He put me on the road to understanding what the Blues were & where the Blues came from. Johnny Winter thank you .RIP
Johnny Winters was the first rock and roller to get a $600,000 advance on his first album so he's definitely not overlooked one of my favorites one of the best!
Johnny winter is the best blues player no one will ever touch him he sure brought blues to a whole new level RIP Johnny your music will live on forever thanks for all that u have done for the blues...Johnny was the only white man the black folks allowed to play in there bars he sure was amazing
Fastest and one of the most talented guitar slingers ever ever ever. Saw him 15 times in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Texas if I saw him once.Always left with my jaw on the floor
I first heard this in 1968 when I lived in San Francisco. I never got to see him but to this day this is the greatest blues solo or any kind of guitar solo of all time. I mean PERIOD! And what can I say about Tommy Shannon? Awesome!
This one of the greatest studio blues performances of all time. The ideas burst forth from Johnny like a fountain, every lick clean and chilling, and that tone....
First album I ever purchased with my own $$ back in '69. Still listen to it often. This is my all-time favorite JW track. Vocal, guitar, bass, drums live in the studio, bum notes and all. No overdubs. Mind-blowing..

Underated? He's the King
That’s the BLUES MAN!
Johnny Winter is a perfect example of it's not what you play that makes you great, its how you play that makes you great. A how,how,how. What a master guitar player beyond. Love you Johnny. Peace,love and happiness wherever you are.
Thanks. Great comment. In concert, he always delivered.

Everybody talk about Hendrix, Clapton and Jimmy Page but man...This is awesome too !! Undurrated amazing guitar player!
None of them compare to JW in my honest opinion. Page not even in class with others.
Best blues singer of them all. RIP Johnny Winter.
He is the best, not Hendrix
One of the best for sure
Jimmy Page is 100% studio. 100 takes. If you listen to him live it’s almost always awful. He is incapable of improvisation. He is the most overrated guitar player in rock history. He wrote some good riffs (the few he didn’t steal), but yeah, he is not great.
still the best blues solo artist of all time, in my mind. Keep in mind he is playing AND singing at the same time. Untouchable....
he's playing rhythm guitar, and lead at the same time while singing, and also adding little fills ...most guitar players can do one of those.... not all three at the same time . Incredible
Good point. A lot of other greats didn't sing and play at the same time.
o you better believe Shannon helped playing effing spreads on the bass! Love these guys
@stevejeffrey11 Really incredible, as you say. Listen to full live version of "It's My Fault". The go between with Winters and Rick Derringer has never been equaled. Same bassist!
One of the best bluesguitar players ever. RIP
This song blew me away 45 years ago and continues to electrify me to this day. RIP Johnny.
Great songs never die :))
Johnny is dead?????
Bingo!!
I saw Johnnie at the Vulcan gas company in Austin Texas 1970. He played be careful with a fool. He continues to blow me away even today he’s a master he’s a genius and totally underrated rest in peace Johnnie
Same experience for me
Can’t believe it. Just getting into Johnny after 57 years of listening to the blues … he is right up there with the best.
Same, what a blues force...I was tired of the blues...and then heard Johnny
Isn't it great when you finally hear a great after so many years. Hey, listen to Johnny's 10 minute opus "It's My Own Fault" with Rick Derringer sometimes, or his "Captured Live" album. You'll like.
Johnny Winters version of Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo with Rick Derringer is killer.
Fuck yeah,. Saw Johnny at Denver Pop Festival 1969, then sat and drank with him at the Bottom Line in New York 1977 while James Cotton and Matt Murphy played on stage.
You lucky dog👍
Dam, you lucky man
at 2:15 starts one of THE greatest rock guitar solos in history!!
You said it, brother. You said it!
One of the greatest guitar SOLOs ever,RIP Johnny
He and JIMI made me BECOME THE GUITARIST I AM TODAY,THEN SRV. LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Dennis G.
In college 50 years ago, I was listening to this stoned. That solo put me thru the floor.
HEY DENNIS, MAN YOU ARE SO RIGHT ,WHAT A SOLO,WAS,NT JOHNNY ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER,I LOVED HIS PLAYING ,SINGING,RIP J,W. 😎BOB.
indeed !
Blackest white dude to ever play the blues ,,,,, legend
@James Cox No doubt !! IMHO the only two white guys that could properly play AND sing the blues were Johnny and Rory Gallagher RIP it up in the next dimension Boys !!!
Might even qualify as the whitest white dude to play the blues too.
🤣💪🎶❣️👉🏽
But he wasn't a white dude - much lower on scale, he was an albino. played like he used to be picked on, wailin' , cuz he was!
@@danmylecraine3796 there is black based albinos and white based albinos, hes white buddy, not that it matters
yep , still the best , playing the changes, relentless licks........
Today 24th of February is Johnny birthday. Happy birthday in heavenly Johnny Winter! You're legend!
I'll take this one to my grave
this song is goona be in beatstar season 24 tour pass and its extreme
Oh, it's awful...
What is amazing about this solo is it is absolutely clean. It is not even high volume,just straight tone!
Oh trust me it's high volume right now my boy
@@jakecarrington9190 yessir
Jake Carrington Goddamn right!!!
The. Texas blues tornado!!!!
@@jakecarrington9190 Agreed. That amp is cranked
Johnny Winter was and always. will be one of the greatest ever. Fast and Clean Amazing guitarist..
Been listening to this song my entire life and it still give me goosebumps everytime..
Always. Just captured Johnny. We saw him live so many times. Winter always delivered in so many different ways.
My sentiments exactly, Jay.
I am 67 years old and he was on the first bill that I saw at The Filmore East, billed as Winter. He blew me away. An incredible bluesman. I am still taken aback when he starts soloing on this song. RIP
i seen him in 76 and 4 times after
You’re still a kid 👶 I’m 77 & bought this album in 69, I still play be careful with a fool ✌️
Yea I was probably in the seat next to you,
Saw him at Fillmore with Rick Derringer . Ain’t been the same since !!
And I'll add yet another comment. I have listened to this song over and over, and I've been listening to it for 57 years! And like someone else said, it gives me chills every time. I can't even listen fast enough to hear the notes that he plays? How about the tastefulness of his solo. Pure and clean!
I'm with you 100%
The greatest guitar solo of all time.
Mr. John Dawson Winter 3 Rest In Peace 🎤🎸😭🙏
I listened to this when I was young.. now iam not so young married and have 2 kids , my wife still likes this song.. ❤❤❤
Mr. John Dawson Winter ||| 🎸🎤⚡🔥💪👊😎🤘
Fantastic Musician Criminally Underrated ⚡🔥😎
I still remember buying this album in vinyl as a teenager when it came out on Columbia records. Also, The Progressive Blues Experiment on Imperial records. Great music. Joe I am in my 60s now. Still alive and well
Tommy’s bass on this is immaculate. Playing chords before it was hip.
Came here to find a comment on this. Dude, it's killer
I got this record when I was 13 and it blew my mind then and it is blowing my mind again right now, almost 50 years later. I've been playing guitar that whole time and have listened far and wide and there is still no one who plays like this!!
Same here! I am 70 now, but still loving this song.
Crapsuckerdud, it seems a lot of things blow your mind, 😂
The bass is truly mesmerizing.
I think that is Tommy Shannon of Double Trouble fame.
Tommy Shannon who played with SRV
A 6 ft albino from Texas walked on the scene and started electric fluid guitar. The blues will never be the same........
I'm a harp player but he produced and played on Muddy's last 2 albums and they both are my biggest inspiration in all blues!!!
Johnny is still one of my top 5 greatest blues guitarists of all time, he's in great company,
You just can't play any better than this! Finally got a Grammy after he "moved on." He was the first white person inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1988.

Awards are for the lowest common denominator. They are pointless.
he cut lp's with muddy waters and sonny terry he had at least 3 grammy's with muddy waters
@@larryduvall9475 Yes, 3 albums that he produced for Muddy won Grammys. He won 1 for himself posthumously. Not that he needed an award to validate his guitar prowess. Take care.
I remember when I first heard this in my teens and it blew my mind, I had to go take a walk and reflect on what I just heard. Today it still has a powerful effect.
It was the first concert I ever went to. I almost levitated when he played this.
Here he is for you people!
Anazing. The whole album is perfect.
I agree but most of his albums are perfect one of the greatest bluesmen
Thank You to all the fantastic musicians from the 1950's to the 1980's for recording great music for us to hear today so we don't have to listen to a lot of the awful music of today.
Saw him 5 times in 5 different decades, always enjoy his music. Excellent album!!
I saw him in 1970 at a small venue in S.F. Event was billed as 3 Kings and a Winter. Things are hazy from then but I think the club was The Matrix and it was Albert, Freddy, and B.B King.

The best Guitar solo i ever heard in my Life - since i was Ten years ins - Greetings from germany
This is my favorite song of his. Most of it is done with the pick hand included. He wore a thumb pick. Insane talent who is missed. RIP Johnny
Saw Johnny Live at least a dozen times back in the 70s .. Never failed to play His ass off .. Love Tommy Shannons Bass lines too and they continued to be incredible through SRV !!
Can you feel it? The magic will move you. That magic is Johnny Winter
His time is flawless. And what a soulfull and raunchy voice.
This is the goat !
I agree 💯
The blues come im my soul...

It is rarely mentioned how great of a rhythm player Johnny was.
It's called BLUESIC yeah you heard it here first love forever my dear jonathan d winter iii

sküll düggery he was pretty much forced to comeback by Paul. I couldn't bear to see him like this... I saw him throughout his better years starting in the late 60's... the guy really went through a lot... should never have comeback.
i saw him a couple of timse in the early 80's in small clubs. he was tight and loud.

bb king wrote this and performed it about 1955 great cover by johnny , i sho nuff got the blues this morning peoples
Greatest albino guitar player from Texas ever!!

Never gets old! Wow
Somebody did the top 20 guitar players of all time, never mention Johnny, or Duane Allman,, really,, both belong in the top five
hey!
Like, if you’re listening to this on a friday afternoon at work where you have nothing to do, just to sit smiling behind your desk because of this glorius music , and want to go home to plug-in your favorite guitar and play some blues...

got original vinyl valid today as ever

I'm always so blown away by the guitar, that I often don't realize how killer that bass track is
Oh yeah! Tommy Shannon was one of the best!

Johnny Winter was a white guy who got hired to play with Muddy Waters. That tells you everything you need to know.
Best blues song ever.
All I can say is Wow!
First album I ever purchased with my own $$ back in '69. Still listen to it often. This is my all-time favorite JW track. Vocal, guitar, bass, drums live in the studio, bum notes and all. No overdubs. Mind-blowing..
