Ah, shit. You are amazing. You are making this old, jaded guy appreciate music he doesn't usually like. You're a wonder, mate. You find the good wherever it lies. So many of us forget how to do that. Keep doing what you do.
Was at a music industry convention thingy in the early 90's. Friend I was with kept pestering me to see Vince (I am not a country fan). I finally gave in. There were only 20 or 30 people in the room but he played like it was stadium. Absolutely perfect technique and amazing speed. Played a lot of rock standards and lead too. One of the best players I have ever seen live..and I have seen: Clapton, Page, Gilmore, Beck, Gibbons et al.. Still not a country fan but respect where it is due - for all of these guys. *Also, Earl did some great work on the Beverly Hillbillies and the Andy Grifith show you might want to check out.Great stuff as usual Fil. Rock!
Incredible seeing all of these musicians on one stage! You could easily talk about them for several hours. It’s so cool to see your enthusiasm as well-like a kid in a candy store!
That’s a stage full of talent. Vince is so versatile and I have always thought Steve Wariner is underrated. I have watched this video many times. Thanks, Fil, for your insight. Hurry back❣️
Given the TINY total population of Britain compared to the United States, the British gave/gives us an incredible amount of guitar genius. Having said that, thanks Fil, for repeatedly recognizing the great American country string players, who on most occasions exceed the talents of many of the "rock" Gods. He wasn't in this one, but your appreciation of Glen Campbell showed me you know the REAL talent. Love your analysis and your own talents.
All these guitarist are so gifted in their playing it’s incredible! Beautiful clean tones played with such clarity! WOW! I saw Vince Gill earlier this year with Eagles......he’s sensational! Thanks Fil....Awesome! Cheers Mario! 😀👌🤘
@@sealisa1398 Perhaps a better word may be unmentioned among his peers at of the same time? My only point is his name does not come up as often and Joe Cocker, Harry Nilson, etc. No knock at all on Leon...I always was a fan, but he just didn't get the "press" as much as some others. He played with a lot of groups and on his own and was much in demand for groups like this one.
I honestly did not know Dwayne Eddie was an instrumentalist! That being said seeing the respect in Fil's face watching this shows how good these guy's really are.
Man, I would give up some stuff to be able to play like these guys. They are playing so clean. Great review of these guys. Jerry Reed was on that list. I loved his storytelling while playing guitar.
Love this. I grew up on the borders of Nashville, so country and bluegrass was all O knew until I got old enough to have my own little radio. We even went to school with the children of many of the original country and bluegrass stars. Back then, they all lived the same as anyone else. Lol only Leon Russell can ‘pick’ a piano. Now that is talent.
Another great review Fil. I sent it to a friend of mine who plays in three bands including bluegrass, fiddle, bass and lead guitar. Request: I noticed you started off with Vince Gill. I wish you could do some reviews on Eric Clapton's crossroads concerts. Some of the best musicians ever to be together were at many of the Eric Clapton crossroads concerts series. Please do a few reviews on Eric Clapton crossroads concerts. I'd really appreciate it fil 👍. Rock!
Back in the mid '70s Earl was touring with his sons, and I got to see them perform at a campus bar. I was at a front table, about 10 feet away from him and it was an amazing night. Not only was the music top rate, but in that close environment full of people on a summer evening, he stood there and picked for 2 hours straight and never broke a sweat!
This is so far=out! You came across like a kid in a candy shop with all those legendary pickers up on stage. great analysis as always. thanks for this one Fil.
As a kid I always knew Chet as Mr Guitar. RIP Randy. My wife's cousin and thereby my cousin played keyboard all his life in bands. Southlander was his last band. Confederate Railroad wanted to hire him but by then he was getting sick . Passed Christmas 2017. Then my wife passed after Christmas 2018 and her mom Christmas 2018..sucks.
Thanks Fil for your analyses of all different types of music, as it helps to appreciate the talent of all these individuals and bands even more., especially explaining the difficulty degree to people who can't play an instrument. I'd like to see you talk about the one of the most popular groups nobody has heard of. The Buckinghams, who had a big 1967, with a smooth lead singer in Dennis Tufano, and that Brassy Chicago sound, with some Blue Eyed soul mixed in.
Living in Nashville, where this was recorded...we become so use to the great musicians that sometimes leave us before we can truly appreciate them for all their talent! Thank you for highlighting some of the worlds greatest musicians...on behalf of a hometown boy...."ya'll" :-)
Thank You so much for Your Brilliant Music Videos Sir! Your Love of music, accurateness of documenting (many) enormous contributions artist's have made to music (Yet, are rarely heralded) has earned the respect of music lovers (& fellow musicians) who recognize You as a brilliant, authorative spokesman for music fans, & a hero, & champion of famous, (& starving) musicians, everywhere! 🌎👍
Absolutely Fil, in their prime years Chet Atkins & Earl Scruggs took a back seat to no man or woman on earth in the field of music. I will add that Vince Gill is such a nice guy that it makes me proud that he's from Oklahoma. We don't have a lot of greats, but the ones we do have are special.
@@kevdean9967 ] I was just being a little funny when I had said that. But I have read some on Chet Atkins life. He was much of a RECLUSE in his life. NO one made Chet who he became in life but Chet himself.Enjoy Yourself
When I was a young man gigging around the Canadian west coast country scene we would often have Sunday afternoon jam sessions. We didn't have the famous names but it was great music.. Everyone sharing the stage and taking their leads. We used to call it 'picking and a grinning'.. Our gigs were 4 hours a night and we would play 2 to 4 nights a week... Sadly, these days have all become distant memories but were great fun.. Vince Gill and Albert Lee at the Crossroads concerts are well worth a notable mention.. Keep on Chooglin.. 🎸
Bluegrass guys can definitely tear it up. I remember an episode of The Andy Griffith Show where they had Earl Scruggs as a guest musician where he proceeded to rip some stuff on a banjo and then hit some harmonics and then - bend the neck. Later on it was considered 'modern' when Randy Rhoads (RIP) and others used to do it on Les Paul's with stacks and this was back in the Fifties. You got a great channel.
Them Country Gents, some were probably raised on a farm, you can find them hunting and fishing doin chores. Those guys are Humble and when they start to pick you know they're special. They're the Sheriff's and Rangers that keep you in line. Thanks Fil. 👍✌️
Took me a while to listen and be interested in guitar/banjo/piano again.... (played for 37 years..)... after I suffered paralysis from c5 c6 c7 (from the neck down) I had an op to stop it going completely ... so I can walk... but have lost a lot of feelings.... especially in my fingers.... But I'm forcing myself to play differently.... and I've got to an exceptable level...and can enjoy it again.... You helped me to appreciate the guitar again with your enthusiasm and interest.... May you carry on what you are doing! All the best!.....
Saw Steve Wariner at the Grand ole Opry early 2000's. He was introducing his band and when he introduced Jimmy his fiddle player the girls went absolutely nuts. "Oh Jimmy"! He kept the brim of his hat low, but probably used to it.
Chet Atkins very legendary, but Vince Gill has ben guitar guy I've seen in several spots where he just hammers it, nails that picking style. Plus he has a great voice. Dude can play though.
This video makes me feel like I died and went to heaven! Wow! Thank you for this and your enthusiasm! Also thanks for talking about Leon Russel. I have to watch this at least 20 times!
Fil you said "Conveyor Belt"😃 Fil Those guys obviously are great players and actually I consider them Shredders. Fil, I've Recently have gotten into chicken pickin. I ordered my 1st Fender Telecaster from Sweetwater today..what a trip. I have a Gibson Les Paul, Fender stratocaster and now I will be adding the Fender Telecaster. I consider that the Holy Trinity. 🙂 That was great Fil. That was a Ace analysis's.🤙
Leon Russell story - was at BB King show @ BB King Nashville. This big guy wearing a white suit and long white hair sat in front of us and Blocked hubby's view so loud mouth say - "hey dude can y'all move to the side so we can see too? - The guy gets up and it was Leon who turned bowed and says - Anything for you darlin - Southern gentleman -- (won't go into shoving Jack White out of the way because he was hogging the area you could actually see BB's technique)
Awesome review! Nothing like going to a great Bluegrass festival and hearing them live!! Have had the pleasure of seeing Earl, Doc, and the greats! 👍👍👍
BLUEGRASS RULES!!! One of the things I really love about Bluegrass is that everyone is welcome to "set a spell and scrub off a few tunes". The more, the merrier and EVERYONE is encouraged to take a lead turn! Technical note here. Bluegrass music has no 'lead' parts...in Bluegrass, we take 'breaks'. Very democratic type of music, and egos must be left at the door! Earl Scruggs is a perfect example of this. The man is a legend, and will surely be remembered as one of the great musicians of the 20th century, and he really didn't care who he was playing with, or what they were playing (Referring to that "Sunshine of Your Love" lick! LOL), or even how good you were, with Earl, if you loved to play, that was good enough for him. I don't say this just because I pick banjo, and am a bit biased (Which, of course, I am), because just about anyone who knew him would agree with me.
Thank you so much for showing this great performance by these legends! Just saw Michael Katon at a coffee house, and was blown away by his incredible slide playing . He plays delta boogie music from hell, and actually lives in Hell (Michigan). Working on his 18th album at his home studio, and plays mostly in Europe. His concert footage is fantastic.Check him out!
Vince Gill plays nearly every Monday at a club here in Nashville called 3rd and Lindley with a Western Swing group called The Time Jumpers. I've gotten to see them a time or two, and while you might think it could turn into the Viince Gill show, it doesn't. I was also fortunate enough to work with Randy Scruggs back in the mid-80s. I was sorry to hear that he passed away. I got to see his daughter play at a festival a few weeks ago, and she's pretty good.
Glen Harness, you’re right. Vince is a humble guy who just loves to jam. He will back off for anyone he is on the stage with. I have watched him perform many times (even live) and I have never seen him hog the spotlight!
old Vinny a little busy right now rocking with the Eagles. also I believe in September he's going to be over there in Dallas Texas at Eric Clapton's yet another awesome all star crossroads concert we get . Him and Vinny became friends later on in life.
That's a Gibson Advanced Jumbo (AJ) Randi plays (on the right in my pic)... great guitar with a very interesting story over the years (mine is a reissue made in 1991) several years later they began production models after more than 80 years, but slow sales have them back to Custom Shop orders only today...
Incredible analysis. Yes you could’ve talked another hour non-stop, there was that much talent on stage. But you said quite a bit in such a short time. Thank you for your superior on the fly word selection ability. You presented so much information that my mind was buzzing. I love it when these pickers have these sessions. I think someday the future will look into the past and marvel at the sheer amount of stellar picking artistry that we somewhat take for granted. I listen to the “new” forms of the different music genres and I can already tell there’s a degradation of the keen guitar playing that we’ve had from say 1950 until maybe five years ago. There are still master players, but not as deep in numbers as we’ve known. I could be wrong.
I saw Randy Scruggs live (with The Earl Scruggs Revue) and he was stunning. The only guitar player I have heard who could get electric guitar sounds from an acoustic.
Takes me back....my Grandpa was a Tennesse boy who played the banjo. My Dad played the mandolin. They made some good music. Not on this level but a lot of fun. Thanks Fil
Top talent of country artists! Heard about all of them thru the years. Anita Cochran, don't know about her, but I love what she was playing on the Telecaster! Have to check out her discography! Thanks! Great showcase of musicians!
she's been off the scene for a little while after her about with breast cancer but she's on the mend since last year.. when she moved to Nashville in 1997 there along with Terri Clark and a few other she really lit up the women pickers stage
To quote, "Tommy Emmanuel, John Knowles, and Steve Wariner share the distinction of being Certified Guitar Players (CGPs), along with the late Jerry Reed and Atkins’ longtime guitar partner Paul Yandell, who was invited into the group by Atkins’ daughter Merle after her father’s death in 2001".
Another awesome analysis vid! If you ever get the time, please listen to "More Than Just This Song," by Brad Paisley & Steve Wariner. Brad sings about his Grandfather, and Steve sings about "Mr. Guitar" (Chet Atkins). The song gives them credit for being the major influence in their guitar endeavors...and how much more they owe them "than just this song."
It's like the ALL-STARS meet the HALL OF FAMERS at the PRO-BOWL for the GREATEST OF ALL TIME! MY GOD! The only ones who appear to be missing are Roy Clark and Jesus of Nazareth! SIDE NOTE: How surreal is it to see Don Was (of all people) then quote "Sunshine of Your Love"? WOW!
It sounded to me that Chet Atkins had an audio problem it wasn't that he was low in the mix well he was low in the mix before they centered on him but it took a few good 5 seconds before they got the sound right on him play it back to yourself you can hear it pretty clearly
One day there's gonna be some sharp young guy with a very well rounded knowledge of music doin an analysis video of legendary players and yer gonna be one of those players.. Yer The Man🤘 ROCK
such a shame we just lost Randy last year too..one of my favorite Tunes of his from 1997 few years after this is called passing through with Joan Osborne on it too a kick-ass song. God's everybody knows old Vince now is about 20 pounds heavier and he's out there touring with the Eagles as add on member right now.
My first concert movie was "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" with Joe Cocker and Leon Russell, along with many other fine musicians such as Carl Radle (bass), Chris Stainton (keys), Jim Gordon (drums), Jim Keltner (drums), Bobby Keys, Sax), Jim Price (Trumpet), Rita Coolidge (vocals), among many others.
a lot of these guys were invited to at least one (some multiple) of Eric Claptons "Crossroads Guitar Festivals" started 20 years ago if you get the chance, you should watch all of the DVD's, they are incredible shows with all the top guitar players of multiple genres. And multiple eras I think there's a new one some time this year back in Dallas, where Eric held the very first one in 1999
Ohmygosh legends! To see Earl with Randy there is amazing! Vince Gill is fantastic and is currently doing a great job with the eagles, RIP Glen Frye. Fil have you ever looked at Ricky Scaggs?

Chet Atkins named four people as Certified Guitar Players, John Knowles, Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed and Steve Wariner.

Hank Wilson's Back. Even my Rock Head brothers loved that album.
Wow that was amazing all those legendary players, just outstanding thanks for analyzing.
Almost head spinning !! Vince Gill and Steve Wainer are in the 'double the difficulty' by being great players AND singers,

They sure look like they are having fun. It’s fun to listen to it!
Another great video and commentary Fil! The depth and breadth of your insight both technical and other aspects is fascinating.
A brood of chicken pickers!! A monster mash of amazing players and a fantastic performance🤘🏻all those players soloing; a nightmare for the sound man🤯
Your little face, can't stop smiling can you. You're really enjoying this vid! Proper cheered me up, you have ❤
Hi Fi. It is June 3, 2021 and I am watching this again. It is one of my favorite videos.

So not my cup of tea, BUT they were jamming and having fun. They were good together! ❤️🇺🇸💙
Happy 4th Fil! ✌️😘
Thanks Ree!
I’d forgotten that Vince Gill plays the mandolin!
Takes me back....my Grandpa was a Tennesse boy who played the banjo. My Dad played the mandolin. They made some good music. Not on this level but a lot of fun. Thanks Fil
Top talent of country artists! Heard about all of them thru the years. Anita Cochran, don't know about her, but I love what she was playing on the Telecaster! Have to check out her discography! Thanks! Great showcase of musicians!
she's been off the scene for a little while after her about with breast cancer but she's on the mend since last year..
when she moved to Nashville in 1997 there along with Terri Clark and a few other she really lit up the women pickers stage
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!
They were picking & you were grinning. 👍👍
I absolutely love your videos! This is a Favorite!
Lot of underrated pickers here!
Anybody gonna comment about the "Manscaped" commercial? Surprised not to see Albert Lee; maybe he had a gig somewhere else.
To quote, "Tommy Emmanuel, John Knowles, and Steve Wariner share the distinction of being Certified Guitar Players (CGPs), along with the late Jerry Reed and Atkins’ longtime guitar partner Paul Yandell, who was invited into the group by Atkins’ daughter Merle after her father’s death in 2001".
Fil,, the one song I'm dying here you cover is Al Stewart's Year of the Cat! Perfect for your voice and you have the guitar skills!
Love this analysis Sir Fil! Would love for you to do a video of Steve Wariner, such a great player.
Excellent!
Another awesome analysis vid! If you ever get the time, please listen to "More Than Just This Song," by Brad Paisley & Steve Wariner. Brad sings about his Grandfather, and Steve sings about "Mr. Guitar" (Chet Atkins). The song gives them credit for being the major influence in their guitar endeavors...and how much more they owe them "than just this song."
It's like the ALL-STARS meet the HALL OF FAMERS at the PRO-BOWL for the GREATEST OF ALL TIME! MY GOD! The only ones who appear to be missing are Roy Clark and Jesus of Nazareth!
SIDE NOTE: How surreal is it to see Don Was (of all people) then quote "Sunshine of Your Love"? WOW!
It sounded to me that Chet Atkins had an audio problem it wasn't that he was low in the mix well he was low in the mix before they centered on him but it took a few good 5 seconds before they got the sound right on him play it back to yourself you can hear it pretty clearly
One day there's gonna be some sharp young guy with a very well rounded knowledge of music doin an analysis video of legendary players and yer gonna be one of those players..
Yer The Man🤘 ROCK
Good stuff Fil I like the bluegrass music. Put more of it in.
such a shame we just lost Randy last year too..one of my favorite Tunes of his from 1997 few years after this is called passing through with Joan Osborne on it too a kick-ass song. God's everybody knows old Vince now is about 20 pounds heavier and he's out there touring with the Eagles as add on member right now.
This is awesome! Can you imagine the collectors value on those documented instruments?
Leon played guitar with Joe Cocker before he was joe's keyboard player . Leon was such a great song writer , that his somgs would become standards .
Dave Brown Yes indeed. He had great commercial success in the 70s and who could forget Youngblood from the Bangladesh Concert? A legend in my world.
My first concert movie was "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" with Joe Cocker and Leon Russell, along with many other fine musicians such as Carl Radle (bass), Chris Stainton (keys), Jim Gordon (drums), Jim Keltner (drums), Bobby Keys, Sax), Jim Price (Trumpet), Rita Coolidge (vocals), among many others.
a lot of these guys were invited to at least one (some multiple) of Eric Claptons "Crossroads Guitar Festivals"
started 20 years ago
if you get the chance, you should watch all of the DVD's, they are incredible shows with all the top guitar players of multiple genres.
And multiple eras
I think there's a new one some time this year back in Dallas, where Eric held the very first one in 1999
Very exceptional!!!
OLD SCHOOL
How about one on Nokie Edwards of The Ventures ?
Ohmygosh legends! To see Earl with Randy there is amazing! Vince Gill is fantastic and is currently doing a great job with the eagles, RIP Glen Frye. Fil have you ever looked at Ricky Scaggs?
