Been following Bucky since I was a teenager and saw him on TV with George Barnes. He is a national treasure. Frank and Bucky just DRIVE the chart, "Limehouse Blues," one of my favorites. Thanks, guys.
FABULOUS! Both Bucky and Frank will be performing at the 20th Annual Berks Jazz Fest in March/April 2010. Frank will be doing a Django 100th Birthday Tribute show and Bucky, along with Howard Alden and Frank DiBussolo will be paying tribute to Les Paul. It's going to be a guitar lovers' jazz fest! Luv those Benedetto guitars, fellas!
It's so weird, it gives me the vision that my brain is slowly unravelling into strings and then clef notes are just bumbling along it, i love these guys :D
Yeah, I noticed that too. Strange. Benedetto still has him as one of the artists who plays their guitars, but his page only mentions the luthier that made his current guitar.
@azbyhorn I had a friend bring his family in from Waukeshau Wisconsin to see Les Paul who played at the Iridium in NYC every Monday night. They happened to come in during a major snowstorm. I called the club to find that Bucky was going to fill in for Les Paul. He was amazing. Played both sets back to back and even came down to meet the family from Wisconsin and sit awhile. Awesome guy.
I know there are so many musical Artists I`d never even heard of, let alone heard their particular music including these two fellows , but as much as I enjoyed their rendition of Limehouse Blues I`d listen over and over to the RUclips video of Johnny Jake doing it. I`d never heard of Johnny Jake either till I recently discovered his videos on RUclips. Check him out folks---am sure you`ll like him. His version of the oldie "It`s A SIN to TELL A LIE" plus his fiddle playing, you`ll enjoy!
Look at Bucky's foot. It's tapping. He's really into it. I guess Frank's rhythm is all in his head and not in his feet. But what a couple of great players. I've been a fan of Bucky's for at least fifty years.
rrtodd95, Limehouse Blues was written in 1922 by Londoners Philip Braham and Douglas Furber. Django Reinhardt performed the song, but did not write it.
My mistake. I have been to some of Bucky's recording sessions at NOLA studios in NYC and I could have sworn it was a Gretsch. I defer to your superior knowledge.
That's a unique sounding guitar that Frank plays.....it "rings" and buzzes but it also has a nice mid range sound. I'm sure he didn't get it from the on-line Wal-Mart catalog.
This melted my computer monitor before it made my computer explode and blow up my house, then the entire block, which sent up a mushroom cloud which then flattened 50 cities in a 20,000 mile radius. Next time you guys decide to post a nuclear reaction, please give us a little warning.
Hi ! I've rated this video as 5***** ; well performed, nice song, and they both got the good feeling to play it. One thing I'd like to know is which guitar is playing F.Vignola ? I've already seen that guitar in a music magazine, but don't remember the mark ! I find that it sounds well, and would like to have one like that. This is the reason why I ask that ! Thanks by advance for the person that will be kind enough to answer to my question. Thanks for sharing this video. BYE !
Well, almost right. The 7 string is regular guitar with an added low string. It can be tuned to B, but I think Bucky has his tuned to low A, like George vanEps used to. Otherwise, he coulnd't play the low Bb on this tune. Otherwise, yeah, what a classic this man is, and Frank is no slouch either.
Amazing !!! i hope someday i can upload a video as good as this !! song and quality!! cause my vids are terrible compared to this !! !!! !!!! !!!!!!!!!!
The sick thing about Limehouse blues is, The man who wrote it, only had the use of two fingers on his left hand, the ring and pinky finger where basically paralyzed and only useable for chording. Django Reinhardt was a violinist and banjo player whose caravan caught fire and his hand was badly burned and took up guitar as therapy to rehab his hand. He had to learn how to play guitar around his handicap.
No it isn't. It's a Fender era Benedetto Bucky Pizzarelli signature. Not a Gretsch. I should know, I make Benedetto guitars for a living in Savannah, GA
@msikmpa well how you try to profile yourself on youtube with saying look im only 13 and listen to this .. i just laugh about you realy. Because it does not matter how old you are to like any kind of music. Just cause the most kids in your age like hip hop does not mean that your something special now!
Frank sucked. Played WAY to inappropriately and fast. Absolutely ZERO Nuance and Feel, with a HIGH degree of sloppiness. Did he squander an unprecedented opportunity to learn? I hope not. Let the amateur You Tubers DECIDE!!!!
Buzz Radu I suffer Ankylosing Spondylitis which affects all my muscles, joints, tendons, and entheses. I simply cannot play to a high, or even low degree of excellence due to my physical condition. Regardless, my criticism stands, as my mental acuity and knowledge is unaffected. There are MUCH better players out there for you to learn from...
+The Guitar Whisperer Initially, you got way too triggered over just a guitarist playing fast. Yes, I agree it was sloppy in places, but some of the stuff he was doing required a great amount of skill, technicality, and knowledge of music theory to do. Take for example, Frank's arpeggiation of several different voicings of diminished chords at the beginning of the fast section, which he didn't even hybrid pick; a feat which is insane at the tempo of this song. I listened to Bucky's comping as Frank did the diminished arpeggios, and he was walking around a central diminished chord, so it fit right in. For the rest of his solo, Frank paid very close attention to the changes of the song, which there are a decent amount of, and not a note of his was out of place. While it might sound fast and mundane to you, his conformity to the changes is pretty impressive if you ask me. It is certainly something that not every blues guitarist, hell, not even every jazz guitarist can do.

yes! Bucky Pizzarelli, 200 years into the game and still kickin out the jams, i love it!!
Fantastic- very talented duo. !
I watch and listen in awe. Thank goodness for the Internet. I may have missed these two.
Beautiful.
God Bless your sweet heart, Bucky Pizzarelli.
Thats kicks ass, big time! Mucho respect, genius at work!
Thanks for posting...FABULOUS!!!
Bravi e siete in sincronia con lo stile da suonare. Fantastic !!!!
What an awesome performance by two brilliant guitarists!
Bucky Rocks .
I almost studied with him when I was in my early 20's , but I didn't know just who he was . Damn !
Magnifico.!
Both of them!
I love it! Absolutely magnificent playing!
Fantastic. Bucky is great!
Put a big smile on my face.
REAL music, REAL musicians!
This is fricking donglewide - I love the walking bass movement it makes me spurtle!!
This video is outstanding. 2 of the very best.
The end sounded a little like some old Les Paul and Mary Ford playing.
Bucky knocks me out!
I practice to this video a lot! Both of there meter is amazing! And everything else about it.
FABULOUS!

I love Frank's look right at the end of the song. It's like, "I did good, right?"
Fantastic chord solo from Mr. Pizzarelli.
It's so weird, it gives me the vision that my brain is slowly unravelling into strings and then clef notes are just bumbling along it, i love these guys :D
holy shit. this is perfect!
Love it!
Rip bucky⭐ 1926 - 2020 🌷🎼
Thank you, yes it is, i checked out his homepage. The Benedetto is not mentioned in his gear, but in the gallery :o)
woohoo! amazing!
Yeah, I noticed that too. Strange. Benedetto still has him as one of the artists who plays their guitars, but his page only mentions the luthier that made his current guitar.
Holy crap, that guy is older than my grandpa and still kicks serious butt!
WOW! Time to practice !!!!!

OMG!!! O_o there amazing
fantastic music, fantastic artists, thanks for the upload.
whats the beautiful guitar frank plays?
Really, eleven people dislike this? Even the ghost of Django Reinhardt likes this one!
Look at Bucky's foot. It's tapping. He's really into it. I guess Frank's rhythm is all in his head and not in his feet. But what a couple of great players. I've been a fan of Bucky's for at least fifty years.
Bucky is still the chord monster he's been for sixty years. His son John is no slouch either. Check out "After You've Gone".
rrtodd95,
Limehouse Blues was written in 1922 by Londoners Philip Braham and Douglas Furber. Django Reinhardt performed the song, but did not write it.
My fingers hurt just watching this one.
Part of the great Italian-American guitar tradition, from Salvatore Massaro (alias Eddie Lang), Tony Mottola, Bill DeArango, and many others.
Even his son is very good , he keep a traditional approach with a modern touch.
oh i love this song ^.^ i'm 14 i usually listen to hardcore and deathmetal but jazz is flat out epic lol
@finnbjerke sounds like it, They were used in Jazz and blues and such before Metal.
I own a 7 string :D good fun.
My mistake. I have been to some of Bucky's recording sessions at NOLA studios in NYC and I could have sworn it was a Gretsch. I defer to your superior knowledge.
All I can say is... Grandad rips it up!
That's a unique sounding guitar that Frank plays.....it "rings" and buzzes but it also has a nice mid range sound. I'm sure he didn't get it from the on-line Wal-Mart catalog.
Kool ... !!

+The Guitar Whisperer Please post a video of yourself soloing over Limehouse so we get the idea better of nuance and feel. Thanks.
