Fil, did you ever hear Jimi Hendrix being described as a 'frustrated country guitarist'? Think about it Strip away the fuzz and effects and., Voila!! I saw the most incredible video but have never been able to find it again. Jeff Beck at an outdoor show, while some issue was being addressed, entertained everyone by playing, on his Strat, of course, the Theme From the Beverly Hillbillies. If you closed your eyes, you'd have sworn on a stack of bibles he was playing a banjo.... It was shocking. I watched it 3 times and I wish I'd watched it a few more.. Blessings!
Having known and worked with Kenny off and on for 20+ years I can assure you his ability to play any style authentically is amazing. Jazz, blues, Hendrix/Beck/Page he can kill it all. Everyone on that stage are great players and people. Great breakdown Fil.
Hopefully he will be touring. It would be great to hear him play live. I only "discovered" him this year from watching the Grand Ole Opry live stream last year.
This cat is one of the nicest people on RUclips. He has an appreciation for music far different from the type he plays, and he always has valuable things to point out about other's talents and techniques. BTW; that alteranting bass string lick is called the Mother Mabel lick, invented by Mother Maybel Carter, June Carter's mother, who passed it on to Johnny Cash, who, in turn, passed it on to Marty, in particualr, and the world, in general.
Phil, I have noticed when you are genuinely enjoying and appreciative of the talent, you talk fast with genuine enthusiasm and joy-----you seem to become a fan
I met Marty and Kenny in a Colorado State Park. They were filming a promo for an upcoming event and I just happened to cross their path. Marty and his beautiful hair! And Kenny was just like you see him in this video. Great players and nice gents!
there is a video on utube titled * lester flatt and the Nashville grass with marty stuart * that shows marty playing with lester when he was 13 or 14 you should check it out
Nice...thanks for featuring this band, I have seen them several times live and they put on a great old time country show. Everybody in Marty's band is top notch and can bring it all day long. Marty on mandolin is a whole nother experience, he really gets down in that tight nasty place. They all stand up and carry it, and meld great together as well.
Tightest band by far. Theres a video where Kenny is talking about the letterman performance, before, the house band guitarists are taking the piss out of them, afterwards, they start asking where all they're pedals are, they didn't have pedals, they had Teles and old fender amps. No need for pedals when you that good.
@@ciatangallaghe2485 When I was coming up, if you played with Pedals people would question the veracity of your wrists. The guys I played with and I listened to the likes of Roy Buchanan & Danny Gatton, who didn't use them. As a Bassist, I will use a compressor if the amp I'm using doesn't have one or a limiter built-in but it's not a deal breaker, I don't have to. When going direct to a board I will use an Eden WTDI PreAmp & Compressor. I also own an MXR DynaComp from the 70s, but that is it. A great guitar, a great amp and your hands are all you really need.
I've been watching a lot of Otis Gibbs' interviews. Many of them are with Kenny. One thing I've come to appreciate about him is that he seems to be, first and foremost, a true student of his craft. Like next level willingness to learn.
Yes. Without Otis, I wouldn't know who Kenny Vaughan was (I lean towards Beatles, Stones, Clapton, etc), and now he's one of my absolute favorite players.
I was flipping through the channels on the TV a few years ago and came across a rerun of The Marty Stuart show. I knew of Marty and his reputation but didn't know his music. The guest that time was Roger McGuinn. They played a couple of the early Byrds songs and it was fantastic. I started tuning in to those reruns when I could (RFD TV or something like that). It didn't take long to see what a great band that was. I still didn't know about Kenny and at some point came across something on RUclips about him and have been a huge fan ever since.
I am looking forward to seeing Kenny and Marty tomorrow night here in Jacksonville Florida… also, a happy addition to their unit these days is the amazing Chris Scruggs! Playing bass guitar of all things ! These guys have got to be one of the most smoking, face-melting musical groups in the world these days
You are so right. I heard Kenny V. say in a video on YT that Chris is the best guitarist AND steel player in Nashville. I just wish that they could get Paul Martin back for his vocals and bass playing so that Chris could play steel primarily. How cool would that be?
I'd like to mention the bass player who often gets overlooked--Paul Martin. He's an excellent guitarist an incredible singer, he was a headliner earlier in his career and could easily be again. I don't know why he left Marty but he gave his professionalism in every performance.
Paul Martin married Oakridge boys Duane Allen’s daughter They have several children and they started their own band after Paul left Marty’s band Paul it is very talented he used to be the lead singer of exile many years ago when they were having problems in that group
kenny and Marty got me hooked on true country style music, as a classically trained piano player myself it boggles my mind watching both these guys play. i loved your break down.
WOW....another nifty analysis of one of my favorite musicians!! Kenny is terrific--and so was your analysis, Fil. As per usual! Thank you so much! Of course I shared this! :)
thank for bringing the nuance & superb techniques displayed by KV on this track. -- I've only "discovered" and triedto uncover the secrets of his playing on the Marty Stuart television shows here on RUclips. You've slowed down time & analyzed the riffs in a friendly player to player manner -- the smile on your mug while viewing the vid had me grinning as well. - cheers
They're all amazing musicians and when you see them live you can see they're totally enjoying themselves, the audience sense that and it brings everything to a new level. Our band plays Hot Like That, it's a great number to perform, if I could only get to 10% of Kenny and Marty's skill level I'd be happy! Thanks for your video, I really like the format.
I think I have said this before. One day, we are going to see you wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots and singing with a country twang. 😂😂. As many have commented, we appreciate your recognition of any talented musician no matter the genre.
yeh agree imagine good ol fil cowboy hat country twang sent him messages back in 80s roanoke va. attended many great country music shows including marty and his ol boys hank jr. scruggs abd ol boys even grateful dead victory stadium which ironically my brother played football had bluegrass and country locals then a big act like del mcoury or even bill monroe one year agee fils music totally different but he still has appreaciation fir old timey country and bluegrass speaking of old timey we went to the doc watson performance 86 or 7 radford middle school all wood about from the 30s literallly old school but even guy like fil enjoys the old timey music depite the fact his owm original songs are rockers
Cousin Kenny is totally bad ass but so is Marty. Both guys are TOTAL bad asses because they know how to play their parts as the situation requires. Man for man, the talent level of this outfit is off the charts.
My friend met Marty Stuart in a pub last year in Manhattan. Said he was incredibly cool and gracious. Love when legends are just regular people. The pictures are epic.
Love Marty..and his musicians...Marty Stuart was supposed to play at the Missouri State Fair last summer...but the Evil Covid-19 postponed the performance.....thanks Fil
Wow !! I was just watcing Kenny Vaughn earlier today on RUclips. I'm glad you did an analysis on Kenny. He's good on the guitar !! Thank you Fil for another great analysis!! You will always be the very best !! 😎
I first saw him with Lucinda Williams on the Car Wheels Tour. If I remember right, he was wearing a dark velvet suit with a mod haircut. He's got a different look and he's one of my favorite guitarists.
Just caught up to this one. Thanks! Kenny's yet another of these "Aw, shucks" monster players who tear it up like no one else's business as easily as rolling out of bed. Of course it's years of practice to make it seem that easy, but, MAN, can he play! And it says a lot about Marty that he has no ego about it. A brilliant player himself, he's all about letting Kenny rip as much as he wants. They're an INCREDIBLE band!
Marty's not LETTING Kenny rip - he loves hearing Kenny rip. If you can take your eyes off Kenny's fingering, look at Marty's smile. The other players, too, on any video.
I'd have to say that Marty is a very smart business person and an excellent musician. He recognized Kenny's talent when he formed the band and it's still going strong because they play music people want to hear and are willing to pay to see the group. Also it appears that Kenny has the freedom to do his own thing with others. He is great.
Oh Man! How did I miss this?! Kenny Vaughan! Thank you thank you Fil for the recognition of this amazing guy! There is a video on youtube titled: "Marty Stuart on Letterman" of Marty and Kenny just shredding it and tearing up the audience and Dave. Would love to see your analysis on that, the song is from the Ghost Train Studio B Sessions album.
Marty's TV series he had on RFD is on You Tube. They focus on his band's performances with the band backing up his many guest stars. That led me to see Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives live at a local venue. Kenny's playing is indeed fabulous usually with a more-or-less traditional Telecaster tone. Marty has a somewhat hotter tone and with his Tele B -bender really stands out. My kind of country.
This was fabulous, Fil! I recently watched your vid on Ernest Tubb, that, too, was fab! Yes, Marty & his boys are really awesome, & Kenny is sooo good on that guit! Thanks for bringing Country to the forefront for us fans! You break it down really well, too. This is a great vid from the Midnight Jamboree, love the song! 🎸🎤🎶
Saw the Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives in St. Louis at a small venue. They were and are the best! Thank you for exposing your subscribers to this band among bands!!!! If you ever have a chance to see them, go!!!
If anyone wants to learn more about how seriously Kenny Vaughan takes his guitar playing, and how long he's been playing in many different styles, listen to the Ask Zac and True Tone Lounge interviews with him. For Kenny telling great stories, check him out on Otis Gibbs' channel. Love Fil's analysis here, too, though!
What a fun episode. The first time I saw Kenny was when he was part of Lucinda Williams' touring band in the late 90s and I was completely knocked out. Then I moved to Nashville and for years it was possible to see him for free three nights a week at Robert's Western World. He's an absolute freakshow of a player and he's got taste for days. The guy never makes a bad choice.
Great analysis of some good Country pickin' Fil. Cousin Kenny Vaughn is a master of the Telecaster. Don't know if you noticed, but Marty Stuart is playing the original working prototype Clarence White/ Gene Parsons B-Bender Telecaster. Marty got the guitar from Clarence's widow, so Mr. Stuart is now it's custodian. Marty and his band "The Fabulous Superlatives" are quite a bunch of musicians. If you can find it out there in RUclips land, there's a clip of Marty and the boys on the David Letterman Show. They feature a track from their album "Live From Studio B" (Letterman calls it "....Studio 8 " and Marty corrects him!) Didn't catch the name of the track but Kenny and Marty really let rip, playing lead and harmony. For some guitar breaks, they don't even look at each other but never miss a note. Just makes you smile and realise how good these guys are! Special mention for Marty and his enormous contribution to Country music. Great work Fil and many thanks. Stay safe and well.
I really love the way you vary your videos. It’s evident you are a lover of the Guitar. Not just any particular style of Guitar Music. I'm basically a Rock Head too but, I just love Guitar in general. I believe a person can learn from any style or genre. In your videos, (I’m a Subscriber), I have seen everyone from Mark Farner, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Phil Keaggy, Jerry Reed, Frank Marino, Chet Atkins, (“Sweep Picking” before I EVER hear any of the Thrash Shredders do it), Vernon Reid, Marty Stewart, etc… Your videos cover a wider field of Genres than any other Analyst that I’ve watched. It’s good to see you back after your illness. Keep up the good work.
Hands down one of the best bands out there. Two premier level guitarists. I heard Kenny in an interview saying he is a big Grateful Dead fan and he followed them around to their concerts in his younger years.
I've seen Marty and the Superlatives in concert before. Did the meet and greet and all the guys were so gracious to the fans. They seemed glad to see us and appreciated we came to see them play. Really nice people. Great analysis! Marty is such a fabulous musician, and hires only the best for his band. Thanks, Fil!
Think I may have suggested this to you some time ago, maybe from your Glen Campbell analysis. These guys are true professionals. Marty's Superlatives are just that. Thanks for reviewing Kenny's technique 😎👍🎸
in 2011 Marty and the Superlatives were on the David Letterman show. Marty and Kenny play "Country Boy Rock-n-Roll" . It's hot and fast and reall showcases Kenny....It's on RUclips....You'll enjoy it
I have a Washburn guitar that Marty Stewart signed for me. It plays better than I expected. Marty is a special person. Talented but not always recognized for it.
As you say Fil, super technique, that comes not just from innate talent, but years of practicing and playing. I saw a great interview with Kenny in which he talks of having guitar lessons even in fairly recent times! This class of musician is always learning and it goes to show that however good you are you can always get better!
Kenny is just such a cool guy. Have been trying to emulate his guitar style lately and this video is a wow moment for me. Thank you Fil, for the great demonstration, I can't wait to get started on learning from it.
I love that they have a cardboard cutout of Hank Williams in their lineup. The musos in this band are the best in the business and this rockabilly music shows the link between country, blues, jazz and rock n roll.
First time i saw K.V. was way back when he was in Lucinda William’s backing band on the dvd Live from Austin Texas along with James Jameson on slide/lead guitars. A great band plus Lucinda’s punk country/blues delivery. It’s on you tube if you haven’t already watched it, several great guutar solos/ interchanges between Kenny and James well worth a view
I recently saw an interview with Kenny Vaughan in which he talks about this band's Letterman appearance - he says the Letterman house band couldn't believe he and Marty didn't use ANY pedals! Just Teles straight into small Fender amps
I had the pleasure of seeing Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives in concert at the Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction Colorado. Their performance was so awesome, Kenny Vaughan can play the phone book 😊❤
Saw Marty Stuart as the opening act for Chris Stapleton. He and his band were thoroughly professional and spot on with their timing. Stapleton and his band, by contrast, were disorganized, amateurish and looked like they were living under a bridge. I and my date left the concert early.
I know you said you weren’t going to do a tutorial of the tune, but the parts you did focus on genuinely helped me a bit on my journey (struggle) to get the feel of this music. It seems to me it’s not so much the notes/scales you play as much as it is the timing and feel. Thanks for focusing on this tune. I’ll be looking for more of their tunes to study.
I just fell over with this . 😂 Nice picking I mean I’ve never heard anything like this one ,but the lyrics were hilarious 🤣. A lot of technique in there for sure !
I had a 78 Strat exactly like that I bought brand new in 78 and traded a few years later for a LP Standard. Wish I still had it! Kenny is a monster player have seen this band many times!

Think about it
Strip away the fuzz and effects and., Voila!!
I saw the most incredible video but have never been able to find it again.
Jeff Beck at an outdoor show, while some issue was being addressed, entertained everyone by playing, on his Strat, of course, the Theme From the Beverly Hillbillies.

It was shocking.

2:12 Always love seeing top musicians like Marty look over and smile when another band memeber does something sweet...
Chris is now Martys bass player since Paul left and awhile was with the band BR549
Nice...thanks for featuring this band, I have seen them several times live and they put on a great old time country show. Everybody in Marty's band is top notch and can bring it all day long. Marty on mandolin is a whole nother experience, he really gets down in that tight nasty place. They all stand up and carry it, and meld great together as well.
Not just a the best country band,the best band period.

I love the Fabulous Superlatives. Roger McGuin has performed with them as well. Marty Stuart wants all his musicians to shine.
I get the feeling it’s wanting his friends to shine. Marty always seems to enjoy the hell out of being on stage.
He's a genuinely good man & doesn't hog the limelite like some headliners. #MartyFan
very true
Marty is the best 👌 😊

I saw Marty and Kenny last week in Amsterdam. They blew me away! What great musicians and yes Marty brought the Clarence Tele!
B-Bender!
Actually Clarence's wife 'GAVE' that guitar to Marty..
I would be afraid that some one would either steal it or loose it
Even back in Denver over 30 years ago,, Kenny Vaughn was always the best around.. all styles. A great friend ever since
I can see it now Fil goes country and the crowd goes wild!
Cousin Kenny is totally bad ass but so is Marty. Both guys are TOTAL bad asses because they know how to play their parts as the situation requires.
Man for man, the talent level of this outfit is off the charts.
Top notch Fil as usual. Really enjoy your grasp of all Genres.
This music is a bunch of fun! How sensational is Kenny---and Marty and all the band!
And Some Guy's analysis pretty sensational, too!

Love Marty..and his musicians...Marty Stuart was supposed to play at the Missouri State Fair last summer...but the Evil Covid-19 postponed the performance.....thanks Fil
Hi Mark! Sad that Marty had to postpone, I hope he'll play the next time! This was sweet!
Fil I always love how you break all these chops down for us. I definitely am a fan of country swing and all the great instruments.
Wow !! I was just watcing Kenny Vaughn earlier today on RUclips.
I'm glad you did an analysis on Kenny. He's good on the guitar !!
Thank you Fil for another great analysis!! You will always be the very best !! 😎
Kenny Vaughan is sooooo damn cool and fun to watch. Marty Stuart is another that just defies genre with his gifts.
I first saw him with Lucinda Williams on the Car Wheels Tour. If I remember right, he was wearing a dark velvet suit with a mod haircut. He's got a different look and he's one of my favorite guitarists.
I saw Kenny for the first time as the band leader for Lucinda and wow, what a hot band and fantastic show....top 5 concert for me all time.
Awesome analysis File. You're giving a Short course on hot guitar.I will be re watching this vid regularly

Didn't catch the name of the track but Kenny and Marty really let rip, playing lead and harmony. For some guitar breaks, they don't even look at each other but never miss a note. Just makes you smile and realise how good these guys are! Special mention for Marty and his enormous contribution to Country music. Great work Fil and many thanks. Stay safe and well.
I really love the way you vary your videos. It’s evident you are a lover of the Guitar. Not just any particular style of Guitar Music. I'm basically a Rock Head too but, I just love Guitar in general. I believe a person can learn from any style or genre. In your videos, (I’m a Subscriber), I have seen everyone from Mark Farner, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Phil Keaggy, Jerry Reed, Frank Marino, Chet Atkins, (“Sweep Picking” before I EVER hear any of the Thrash Shredders do it), Vernon Reid, Marty Stewart, etc… Your videos cover a wider field of Genres than any other Analyst that I’ve watched.
It’s good to see you back after your illness. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
It's hard for me to like country music but your videos make appreciate country music so I guess that's a start!
we got tickets to see them in Key West Feb 20 .....so psyched ...we just love them and their musical prowess
Hands down one of the best bands out there. Two premier level guitarists. I heard Kenny in an interview saying he is a big Grateful Dead fan and he followed them around to their concerts in his younger years.
Top notch band. So damn tight.
You would have no problem mastering the country style. I appreciate all of your videos, because you cover so many genres. Cheers.
I've seen Marty and the Superlatives in concert before. Did the meet and greet and all the guys were so gracious to the fans. They seemed glad to see us and appreciated we came to see them play. Really nice people. Great analysis! Marty is such a fabulous musician, and hires only the best for his band. Thanks, Fil!
Thanks for sharing. Marty Stuart. Bring back good times. And a whole lot of fun. Going back to hear Marty’s music. You’re awesome Fil. Thanks 🙏😆🎵🤘🏻👍
Hi Wingman it's so fun watching you looking at these performances, can tell your having fun it's infectious to your viewers congrats.
Think I may have suggested this to you some time ago, maybe from your Glen Campbell analysis. These guys are true professionals. Marty's Superlatives are just that. Thanks for reviewing Kenny's technique 😎👍🎸
One of the best "lessons" on guitar I've seen!!! GOD bless!
Love to listen to Kenny and Chris !! So much talent
Top players indeed! im always awe struck at Marty and the guys , always makes me want to learn more styles and techniques .
Kenny is a killer. Missed you when I got me new iPhone. Great to be back.
in 2011 Marty and the Superlatives were on the David Letterman show. Marty and Kenny play "Country Boy Rock-n-Roll" . It's hot and fast and reall showcases Kenny....It's on RUclips....You'll enjoy it
We saw Marty and the band in Albuquerque recently. Awesome show!
I have a Washburn guitar that Marty Stewart signed for me. It plays better than I expected. Marty is a special person. Talented but not always recognized for it.
Anyone who really knows music recognizes Marty's talent. 🎶
Yes he’s not given the note Notoriety he deserves
@@jackjones2381 And always a professional. Very nice guy from my encounter.
Check his signature more closely - it's Stuart.
Thanks, Fil, for showcasing my favorite unknown guitar player. He's the best Tele player I know. Thanks again for bring us your great analyses videos.
Both Kenny and Marty are outstanding guitarists, both on acoustic and Tele guitars.
As you say Fil, super technique, that comes not just from innate talent, but years of practicing and playing. I saw a great interview with Kenny in which he talks of having guitar lessons even in fairly recent times! This class of musician is always learning and it goes to show that however good you are you can always get better!
Kenny is just such a cool guy. Have been trying to emulate his guitar style lately and this video is a wow moment for me. Thank you Fil, for the great demonstration, I can't wait to get started on learning from it.
I come from the 'A drummer's best friend is a musician' school, but I feel obliged to say your vids are superb
Thanks!
Fil Great stuff! Glad to see you highlight Kenny. Great player. Thanks
I love that they have a cardboard cutout of Hank Williams in their lineup. The musos in this band are the best in the business and this rockabilly music shows the link between country, blues, jazz and rock n roll.
Peter I think the cutout on stage is Ernest Tubb.
Saw Kenny play with Marty here in Texas about a month ago. Really good guitarist!
First time i saw K.V. was way back when he was in Lucinda William’s backing band on the dvd Live from Austin Texas along with James Jameson on slide/lead guitars. A great band plus Lucinda’s punk country/blues delivery. It’s on you tube if you haven’t already watched it, several great guutar solos/ interchanges between Kenny and James well worth a view
Kennys' interviews / stories are as good as his playing. His punk day albums are also worth checking out.
I recently saw an interview with Kenny Vaughan in which he talks about this band's Letterman appearance - he says the Letterman house band couldn't believe he and Marty didn't use ANY pedals! Just Teles straight into small Fender amps
I had the pleasure of seeing Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives in concert at the Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction Colorado. Their performance was so awesome, Kenny Vaughan can play the phone book 😊❤
Saw Marty Stuart as the opening act for Chris Stapleton. He and his band were thoroughly professional and spot on with their timing. Stapleton and his band, by contrast, were disorganized, amateurish and looked like they were living under a bridge. I and my date left the concert early.
Out of humility, and respect for the Superlatives, I would refuse any gig that made me follow them. You're just asking to look bad.
I had the same experience when I took my daughter to see Frank Turner open for Jason Isbell. Isbell and Stapleton or both good….. But
Met Marty at a summer bluegrass festival near Cincinnati in 1976 when he was about 17 and a member of Lester Flatts band.
Can’t do better then that ! Thanks Fil .
I know you said you weren’t going to do a tutorial of the tune, but the parts you did focus on genuinely helped me a bit on my journey (struggle) to get the feel of this music. It seems to me it’s not so much the notes/scales you play as much as it is the timing and feel. Thanks for focusing on this tune. I’ll be looking for more of their tunes to study.
Just adore you!Thanks for doing what you do💛✌
I just fell over with this . 😂 Nice picking
I mean I’ve never heard anything like this one ,but the lyrics were hilarious 🤣.
A lot of technique in there for sure !
I had a 78 Strat exactly like that I bought brand new in 78 and traded a few years later for a LP Standard. Wish I still had it! Kenny is a monster player have seen this band many times!
I’m a huge Kenny fan also that man can play some awesome surf guitar
I love it makes you want to go dancing. And I love Marty Stuart I could see he was enjoying himself.
I’m learning even what may sound “straightforward , easy “, is usually more complex. “Melting our faces “. Damn, he’s melting that fret board.
Kenny Vaughn does some interesting interviews and tells some wicked tales about other musicians.
Outstanding analysis Fil of this awesome performance.
What a band, what a song.
That was so much fun to listen to. I'm gonna replay but this time I'll have to flip the Fender on and jam along. Real Fun Time. Thank You Sir...
Country line dancing came to mind 😁🤠
Fil, thanks for another great analysis video 🖤🤘🏽
I love the fact that Fil appreciates all kinds of music.
These guys are like a jam session- Marty is like Roy Orbison wants all his children to have a turn doing lead
I saw this lineup at you guessed it! HSB Golden Gate Park San Francisco! One of the best performances I have ever seen!
I love watching them with their massive talent, acting like goofballs,so much fun they are having.
