Lance Lopez. Although born in Shreveport, Louisiana, at the age of 12, his family moved to Dallas, where with the exception of a spell back in New Orleans and Southwest Florida, the guitarist has called his home ever since.
A professional musician since the age of 14 when he began playing local bars in and around the New Orleans, Louisiana area, at 17 he was hired by soul great Johnnie Taylor, with whom he toured for six months. By 18 he was hired as the band leader of blues legend Lucky Peterson's band, spending three years touring throughout the world.
It was while with Peterson in Europe that he struck up a close friendship with the larger than life drummer Buddy Miles, subsequently becoming the guitarist for The Buddy Miles Express for a brief time. The former Band Of Gypsys legend would go on to mentor Lopez, leading to him co producing his debut album 'First Things First', along with Grammy winning producer Jay Newland (Norah Jones) which was released independently in 1998.
From 2003 to 2007 Lopez recorded, and released three studio and one live CD for a small independent label, Grooveyard Records - all of which were heavily influenced by another of the guitarist's main influences - Jimi Hendrix. Despite the hindrance of being released on such a label, the albums are all prime examples of post Hendrix heavy blues, filled to the brim with awe inspiring fretwork, which led to him garnering a cult following amongst guitar fanatics world wide.
After a three year break, Lopez came back with a brand new studio album 'Salvation From Sundown', his first release on MIG Music/String Commander Records, based in Hannover, Germany. 'Salvation From Sundown was produced by legendary Producer/Engineer, Jim Gaines (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana)
Intentionally conceived as a more traditional Texas blues styled offering, which has elicited none other than guitar god Jeff Beck to call him "A very exciting and intense blues guitarist". In 2012, MIG Music released 'Handmade Music', Lopez's 6th studio album. Again, he worked with legendary producer Jim Gaines and recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. It's one of the guitarist's most mature recordings to date, showcasing strong songwriting while still retaining the red-hot fretwork. 'Handmade Music' shows him poised to take his rightful place as one of the finest blues players on the planet. In 2013 Lance began work on his 7th album with Producer Fabrizio Grossi (Joe Bonamassa, Leslie West, Steve Vai) in Los Angeles. They are currently writing and recording material for this new album.
Lance Lopez continues to tour internationally playing, clubs, Blues, Jazz and Rock Festivals, biker rallys, charity events and concerts. He also works as a producer and songwriter for other artist, as well as teaching guitar lessons to hand picked students when his schedule allows. If you are just now discovering what many die-hard fans of obscure Blues-Rock and guitar music have known about for many years, take the time to delve into Lance's catalog spanning 6 albums and you will soon find, that he is one of the greatest guitarist that the State Of Texas has ever produced...

+John Coleman Vidrine If you haven't already checked him out, Eric Gales is of a similar spirit. Very talented!
+jlopez47 if you're a guitarist I can promise you we all know or should know Eric. He's been around since he's 16. As we should know Chris Duarte, Jonny Lang , Kenny Wayne shepherd, Mato Nanji from indigenous, Doug Rappoport, Lance obviously and a ton of other greats.
Heck yeah! Jimi was inspired by Buddy and Buddy with ... !!!
AWESOME !!!!!! thanks for posting
how do i even learn to play like this, amazing!! seen him live at lees in shreveport, was killing it there.
You take lessons and never quit.
coffeewaldo well I guess they never quitting part is true, not sure about the guitar lessons stuff thow, I've taken a few lessons and it was all about the money to the instructor he could have cared less if I learned anything or not and also I was either better than the instructor or they weren't my style of music I wanted to learn from only have been fortunate enough to meet one person I looked up to as a guitar player, I guess it's back to looking at more Marty Schwartz videos :p
Thanks for the post.
He is very, very good. He is todays blues rock caretaker.
high energy blues rock, thanks for the post!!
I've seen Lance many time's,He is one of the best string shredders around the DFW area There are quit a few that will never be heard that is unbelievable..He is great..
LA LO - Bro L -- Good To See Some Of Your Old Vids Again.. Keeping The Torch Lit !

Badass
heard Lance live a few times with Wes Jeans, you would be hard pressed to find a better player. RAW!
Was there
Love the JCM800 amps.
It's a jcm2000 dsl100
Lost a few pounds since the year before, Lance. Lookin' good buddy.
Noticed that Lance is playing a PRS LP instead of his usual Gibson LP.
Sizzling
Definitely has a strong SRV vibe going on but still cool enough rippin his own licks.. I dig it. Not jus tanother clone, more like SRV decided to play humbuckers and dirty rock.
good! I'm korean singer .. you tube title is get tired of living
Великолепно!
qual o nome da primeira musica?
Is that James Montgomery that introduced him?
Lance playin' a PRS now
i prefer the old Lopez, more bluesy hendrix stuff
I love the blues but nobody does it like Joe Bonamassa
Bonamassa does not play blues, hes just a guitar collector who rips off eric Johnson without the interesting compositions. Lance really does live and play the blues and he has no match alive today.
Great. He's losing weight. He was actually pretty ripped when he was younger.
fury starts at 26:00
Lance tarring it up as always
Um.............no.
Sadly this guy has none of the qualities that made SRV great. The ability to play fast on an overdriven guitar wearing a cowboy hat, does not necessarily indicate anything other than an innate ability to want to imitate.
Dude, you couldn't be a pimple on his ass!!!!
Lance can play like Stevie , Jimi, albert, bb ,billy he chooses To play like himself nowadays.,the greatest living blues rocker. What do they know about blues in Devon anyway ?
Are you on drugs.
Великолепно!
