    This guy teaches us how to remain humble while being great at what you do. So simple yet so genius. God bless you Steve

    Most under appreciated and underrated guy out there. Period. He’s a MONSTER.

      Guitarists know he's a monster player. He's also a monster composer. But Eddie Van Halen took all the fame and glory, back in those days.

    Steve speaks so much sense about how to sit in a mix! Something so many guitar players have never even thought about. What a legend!

  • @gtritany
    @gtritany 3 года назад +7

    For me, the most impressive thing is that the interviewer keeps his mouth closed like he's not at all shocked by the amazingly complex technical approach Steve shows us in this video. Such a huge lesson for all of us, and I know if I was there, I wouldn't be able to hold myself. Steve is always gentle, humble and plays very complex techniques, that simply appears sooo natural. Like he says: practice everyday.

    Man man man...this guy is the real deal. He almost feels the pain for not being able to speak as fast as his thoughts...and guys tell me if you had the same feeling: he simplifies everything he says to make things clear to us humans...
    Oh and apart from that, he might just be one of the best guitar players around, real playing, no whammy tricks... way to go Steve!!!!!!

    Thank you for taking the time. What changed my perspective on the pickups is that I am all about high gain and not letting the listener appreciate all the sounds of the band is collaborative order. My outlook has improved. Thanks again.

  • @burnedclutch
    @burnedclutch 2 года назад +2

    this might be the best all time demo vid. I listen to him speak and how he struggles with trying to explain stuff to common folk just a testament oh how deep his mind is into his world of music. So humble to take the time. how he applies tonalities and themes and creates aural scapes like each song is a journey. What a treasure. saw 3 different times in hollywood with the dixie dregs . and actually the whole band amazing

    • @MisterGuitarItalia
      @MisterGuitarItalia 10 лет назад +27

      "Better" guitar player? What makes for a "better" guitar player? The fact that YOU were allowed to trade some licks with him once upon a time? I think NOT. How often have you jammed with Steve Morse in order to come up with such a decisive classification? Best of all, what makes you think YOU have what itv takes to RANK these players? My friend, Morse is legendary, writes amazing music and is still a humble hard-working musician... you might want to work on the "humble" bit before you unleash such pompous statements.

      I have to agree with these other 2 guys. How in the WORLD would you know who know more about theory. Morse studied at University of Miami with the likes of Narada Michael Walen, Pat Methany, and Jaco Pastorius just to name a few. THINK and do research before you make comments please.

      Silliest comment I've ever seen on RUclips, which is really saying something. I like Mitch, and appreciate what he does, but I seriously doubt he'd appreciate your comment either. Steve Morse is the favorite guitar player of MANY people, myself included, and has proven his ability beyond any doubt for many years. He's one of the nicest guys in music, who always has time for fans and doesn't turn into a diva when things go wrong. Steve and Mitch deserve better than your comment.
