That guitar has been played by one of the greatest songwriters of the 60s/70s as well as one of the best from today’s era. I know pilots are rockstars in their own right, especially back then, but if one of Dylan’s or even better IMO Isbell’s guitars just fell in my lap I’d feel like I was destined to play it.
I'm so glad I found this. Jason is an incredible singer/songwriter and it's nice to see him finally being recognized for the great guitarist that he is. Him playing Jimi at the end is fkn awesome!
Jason's a great talent and obviously knows his guitars. He holds this instrument with such reverence and plays with such craft. I love his reaction when asked to play a song on this guitar at 2:09 - "I'd really rather just noodle" - Noodle on Jason!
He is absolutely amazing. The genuine appreciation and humbleness shown as he see's,holds ,noodles the guitar is refreshing!instead of singing a song he humbly declines and as if it was Hendrix himself glorifies the fine instrument bringing it to life. He is already hall of fame and I'm my opinion when it is all said and done he will go down as 1 of if not the greatest artist of all time. A true triple threat with his great vocals , masterful guitar skills, and a lyrically epic writer second to none. He is simply the best
I think your forgetting a certain mr Dylan and Kristofferson when your talking second to none as a songwriter and i know Jason would totally agree with that statement. As good as he is he still has a long long way to go to get anywhere near those two legends.
I humbly disagree Jason. Although it is extremely difficult to compare any modern artist to legends who have been put on a pedestal, I would put Isbell's songwriting on par with those two. He may not go down in history as favorably but only because his style of music is not as popular today as Dylan's and Kristofferson's were in their hay day. One only has to listen to songs like Elephant, Vampires and Speed Trap Town to get a firm grasp on his lyrical abilities.
@@jukebox212003 agreed. In fact I prefer Isbell over Dylan and Kristofferson. He’s the reason I mostly write alt-country music almost all in drop-d. I love both of those artists but God Damn Lonely Love is my favorite song of all time.
@@jukebox212003 Music was more important to people in their day. I’m not a guitar player, but I’ve read people who were backing up Dylan’s leap to electric say he didn’t have a clue how to play it. The same can’t be said about Isbell.
If I walked into a party full of naked supermodels and somewhere in that party Jason Isbell was playing Jimi Hendrix on Bob Dylan's guitar I would be standing in front of him completely oblivious to the rest of the party
If I was in this position I'd be just as blown away as Isbell but then let everybody down as I worked through a G chord, D chord, C chord, and back to a G. Lol I wish I could play half as well as Jason.
@@Allagi22 you know what the secret is to getting w? The other post said it. There’s no secret. It’s never giving up. It takes time and hours and patience. Repetitive playing until it becomes second nature. If you give up you’ll never experience the best thing I ever did for myself. Good luck.
it was a true pleasure to hand the guitar to him, and see his reaction. truly a good human being.

Jason Isbell continues to amaze me as a person and as a musician.
He is amazing
No one will ever be as cool as Jason Isbell playing Little Wing on Bob Dylan’s Newport Folk Fest fender strat
He could afford to buy it now. If it was for sale.

First riffs on Dylan's legendary guitar? Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Love to see Jason geeking out on the gear.

I love this dude....so talented.So happy he found sobriety.Makes you a better player and person.Jason knows guitars.
What a cool clip. Thank you
and this is just one of the reasons im going to see him for the SIXTH time in Sept!!!
Like any of us, he noodles around with it, getting to know it better, and he slides right into Little Wing. So cool.
I love how much Jason appreciated and respected it! He is such a cool cat! And yes, you gotta' play some Hendrix on a Strat.
I can't like this enough.
Just when I thought this couldn't get any cooler, dude steps out sporting a Replacements t-shirt.
I really really like this dude and his music.
HOLY S___!! What a beautiful sound.
Thats one talented SOB right there !!!!!!
There are pictures of Dylan playing the guitar during the 65-66 tour.
"I'd really rather just noodle. I'd hate to interrupt a guitar by singing " What a quote 👏
Especially considering he's an amazing singer too
This is just amazing
Just amazing
He plays it with such class I would think he would go out
and get a 64 strat after this.
Love this
Have you ever seen someone reach for a pick that fast?
I'm in love with the girl that works at the store but I'm nothing but a customer.
And saw Jason at the Basilica Block Party this summer. Great show.
Fresch Fisch Great tee shirt Mr Interviewer.
I'd need a bib to hold that guitar.
Amazing little wing version
indeed. Too bad it's just few seconds of it, it's truly beautiful.
Fucking joke actually!

Just keep at it. All guitar players must start somewhere. Music theory and circle of 5ths are always gonna help and are relatively easy to learn.
@@yesmamnosir7997 Thanks man. I've been trying to practice more since Covid lockdown. That's good motivation.

Just another one of Bob’s happy accidents... leaving a guitar on a plane that would later go on to leave musicians speachless and awe inspired.
Jason has the money now to buy it if he wanted to. If it was for sale.
I thought for sure he would go after it myself but so far no. He just put out for the famous Les Paul. But we will see.
Freakin way cool
What amp is it played through?
+David O'Shaughnessy In the Blake Mills video from the same day it was a silverface Deluxe reverb
Anyone know what amp he is playing through? 68 Princeton reverb?
Silver face Deluxe Reverb. .
Oof. Great song choice to play at the end.
Jason the entire time is thinking about if he can afford to buy the guitar 😂
Jason plays it the best. No offense.
