Kenny is one the greats and a great guy, while playing a show at the Memphis In May Music Festival he noticed a little kid about 5 yrs old sitting on his dad's shoulders rocking out! After he got done playing called the boy's dad out and talked about how he had watched the little dude rocking out and gave the little boy his Strat and told his dad to get him lessons.... coolest shit I've ever seen!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of my biggest Heroes ever. It goes Grandpa, SRV, the dude that taught me how to ride a bicycle, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Noah, I share a birthday with Noah. How lucky we all are that we lived during these times. Glad I didn't miss this!
I'm 65, every once and awile the memory of my first lost love shows up to mess with me. This song triggers that emotion that I had at the time. That's ok, got through it ,been married 42 years, to my 2nd true love, Linda. Memories good and bad brighten your future. Oh, after saying that ,this song is a favorite of mine.
Ya'll folks making the snide comments..come on. I totally get why Kenny Wayne would want the song played correctly. I really don't think he is being a jerk about the ones who have covered the song "wrong" Hello, it is his song. I don't want to learn a crap version of such a meaningful song. The fact that he would even acknowledge he's watching others is pretty fucking humble if you ask me. I might just be another chick with an opinion. I still think an artist should apply constructive criticism
Blue on Black was one of my favorites. I can remember sitting on the hood of my car down by the wayside on a hot summer day listening to it over and over. It had a personal meaning when I was younger. (still does) Ive grown to appreciate Kenny more and more as an entertainer. Back then I was just the young yuppy chic with a crush on a famous guy who might just happen to her town and whisk her away.. I'm gonna learn to play this and post it later. Kenny luv ya and wont post it without a shirt!
You should have grew up in Shreveport. It was amazing. The music. The history and oh and yes Ledbetter Heights the section of town where Huddie Ledbetter roamed
i've always loved this song since when i first on the radio around middnight (or even later), and been searching for this since like there is no tomorrow.
Touches him in a personal way, well yeah, that's because it's a personal masterpiece. That guitar solo is easily one of the greatest examples of guitar playing ever recorded. Haha, fight me, haha, you lose. Exquisite playing.
Yes this is a over riding passion to GTAW hid down , he thing that stops ,e in my tracks , every time it playing , it speak to me , I would love to have it , blessing to all , love to all
I saw KWS in Boston at Bank Boston Pavilion Boston. He played a song, building and building like an underground Volcano and when it erupted, (I don't say this lightly,) I Saw God.
superb tune. saw this guy as a double bill with johnny lang poughkeepsie ny. one of the best 3 plus hours of music......for me anyway, since i had 1st row seats
oh yes, so nice...sung so well and the guitar feels so right when he plays it- you can go thru the solo in your head note for note when you hear the song each time cuz every note you FEEL it and your diggin it. Classic- thanks guys!
Nice smooth jam makes me feel great playing it on my Strat. I remember chilling in the corner playing this at school on washburn acoustic. I then brought my electrics
Totally bad ass! I have jammed with some of the greats in my 34 years as a blues guitarist man but besides SRV there is only one other guy I would love to Jam with and that's Kenny!! This was bad ass!
I’m trying to learn this on piano and found this awesome lesson! Thanks for the clarification. Love the shirtless guy story, trying to find him.😂I promise I’ll wear a shirt when I upload my video. Thanks again for the lesson, love you guys and this song! Warm greetings from Miami
Great song indeed! “song almost didn’t make it” I don’t know what it is or how to explain it, but certainly things like this meant to be. Gonna be a classic in the future. Simple and beautiful: The best blend. F-sharp note in the D chord issue is 100% right!!! It does make a hell of a difference. I strongly believe that when you play other’s music you must respect the fundamentals. Otherwise you distort what the author want to express and transmit. Excellent lesson to the “RUclips teachers”
@dnnysrock - If you mean that learned from John Mayer with respect to his right hand playing, this song was recorded 4 years before JM released his first album. I am not bagging on JM, but KWS was a blues star before anybody had ever heard of John Mayer. That being said, I like JM's playing style better when he plays blues.
Is it just me but does anyone else think this would sound killer playing D minor, definitely not D major like Kenny said love this song it goes over well in my cover band
It's def a pain to mute that high E. I press the base of my index finger against the edge of the fretboard while holding the Dsus2 fingering. Takes a little gettin' used to, but it seems to work. When I look at the video, it appears that's how he's doing it as well. I think ;)
Well, I didn't take it as cocky, just matter-of-fact. I lived in Bossier City in the 60's and learned how to play guitar there. So, I'm a cocky SOB, too...LOL...used to play gigs at the S'port Elks Club. Those were the days...Ventures, Beatles, Stones, Simon & Garfunkle, Beach Boys, Dave Clark Five, etc....

So cool
Saw him play at Memphis in May in the 90s. It was awesome.
@@timothys4804 I was there 🤘
Felt a lil emotional by this, he's amazing, plays with his heart n soul, his band, they're unique, God bless them*
I was that kid sitting on my dad’s shoulders , it was so cool. Just kidding of course.
I love Noah's voice
Pure Blues .Noah and Kenny are 100 % on point .
This is a song I never get tired of hearing - it always gets me.
Noah is such a emotional singer...what a voice
Killer solo! Just can't get enough of it.
One of the best modern blues songs of our times. Great tune.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of my biggest Heroes ever. It goes Grandpa, SRV, the dude that taught me how to ride a bicycle, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Noah, I share a birthday with Noah. How lucky we all are that we lived during these times. Glad I didn't miss this!

one of the best songs ever
Love this backstory stuff! And this is a kick-ass version of this song I've always loved.
I never get tired of playing this song either.
Caught KWS in Cincy when they opened for VH during the 1998 tour (sat next to Noah's family)
Awesome show
He is truly amazing, one of my favorite artists for sure (along with Joe Bonamassa)
Been back about 40 times to watch this one.
Great voice! Sounds like the recording.

Well said!
So he has to make fun of them and make this shirtless guy feel like a fool by making a mockery of his voice and that he’s not wearing a shirt?
Big fan of KWS, but he comes across arrogant and condescending in this video. Constructive? Seemed egotistical to me.
No he doesn’t.
I just love you guys! I look forward to being able to attend live concerts again, covid covid go away, never come back any other day!!!
Just go to concerts. That’s what I’m doing.

Kenny I like your new singer fantastic
Damn good jam it is. Love playing it love hearing it. You hear it period
i've always loved this song since when i first on the radio around middnight (or even later), and been searching for this since like there is no tomorrow.

Great lesson, and great song. Well played and sung. Thanks!
i love live performances especially when its just guitars
Glad to see you still having a good time with this song.
Yes this is a over riding passion to GTAW hid down , he thing that stops ,e in my tracks , every time it playing , it speak to me , I would love to have it , blessing to all , love to all
i never get tired of this song,i get i could drive from here to pheonix listening to just this song and still not get tired of it
I saw KWS in Boston at Bank Boston Pavilion Boston. He played a song, building and building like an underground Volcano and when it erupted, (I don't say this lightly,) I Saw God.
That solo came from that mans soul y’all I swear
Jeff Tweedy, what a voice!
Love KWS....the man is growing as a guitar player god bless him..!!!
superb tune. saw this guy as a double bill with johnny lang poughkeepsie ny. one of the best 3 plus hours of music......for me anyway, since i had 1st row seats
oh yes, so nice...sung so well and the guitar feels so right when he plays it- you can go thru the solo in your head note for note when you hear the song each time cuz every note you FEEL it and your diggin it. Classic- thanks guys!
+Jim Habash Oh ya and playing with the drummer and the snare- just like Kenny says makes it jump out )
God I love this..cheers for the lesson ✌🏼 🇳🇿
Almost twenty years since I seen him w/ Double Trouble in San Diego. A special show.
Looking forward to next weekend at the Hard Rock.
Noah’s voice is similar to Paul Rogers. Kenny and Noah are awesome together.
Whatta great song. Wish I had the talent and ear to create music like this🙏👍😊
This makes my soul smile!!!! Thank you..;)
Kewl song; love it :)
(digging out my guitar
and amp from the back
of the closet.)
Nice smooth jam makes me feel great playing it on my Strat. I remember chilling in the corner playing this at school on washburn acoustic. I then brought my electrics
Totally bad ass! I have jammed with some of the greats in my 34 years as a blues guitarist man but besides SRV there is only one other guy I would love to Jam with and that's Kenny!! This was bad ass!
And who are the so called greats that you have jammed with.......Just out of interest???
I found you guys through 5 finger death punches cover..must have listened to your version 30 times in the last few days..frighin awesome
Best ....... bestest song ever.
The left hand is the athlete, the right hand is the artist...thanks for the quick tutorial 🤘🏻
My favorite song!!
I tune the high and low E string down to D, try that!
Yes!!
I love me some Kenny! DANG IT!
shed lets hear play or shut the fuck. up it is a demo clinic .
I got goose bumps
Excellent 🤘🏻 🤘🏻
Awesome video. Killer song. First heard it on the radio driving back from crawfishing. Thought, _gotta find out what this song is called._
recommended this to my 13 yr old nephew,budding, next great unknown guitarist :-)
We miss you Kenny!! Your flame got put out way too soon!!
I’m trying to learn this on piano and found this awesome lesson! Thanks for the clarification. Love the shirtless guy story, trying to find him.😂I promise I’ll wear a shirt when I upload my video. Thanks again for the lesson, love you guys and this song! Warm greetings from Miami
Kenny the right hand is the most important part in playing. No matter what you play.
When my teacher first showed me this song, I was like, "have I ever known real music before?"
hmm...very nice. He's calmed down a lot. Good for him. good instructional as well. He points out rhythm playing. important.
Yeah, he´s right - the right hand is very important. Listen up guitar suckers! Great singer - with an attitude!
Great song indeed! “song almost didn’t make it” I don’t know what it is or how to explain it, but certainly things like this meant to be. Gonna be a classic in the future. Simple and beautiful: The best blend. F-sharp note in the D chord issue is 100% right!!! It does make a hell of a difference. I strongly believe that when you play other’s music you must respect the fundamentals. Otherwise you distort what the author want to express and transmit. Excellent lesson to the “RUclips teachers”
Awesome.
Hit some good Sativa beforehand 😁
I wish he talked about the effects he uses for this track.. saw them opening for Van Halen and KWS were excellent!
i think he uses analogman king of tone and univibe for second verse and also high gain section of king of tone for solo
oh i forget about pog octave he is uses it too
What a Show that must have been. Wow
i grew up a little in greenwood, La and right now live in Grove ok lol what a coincidence
The right (picking or strumming) hand is always more important.
It’s around 23 yrs old which is unreal...
wow just a awesomre
The song begins at 03:20!
Saw kenny wayne shepherd this past march 3rd row center balcony
When my band does it, I actually Drop D . I think it gives it a little something extra . Killer song just the same !!!!!
Definitely a drop d song
He kinda reminds me of John 5 when he talks hah. Killer session though!
love kws
❤ acoustic grunge post grunge
I love this tousled head
Awesome!!!
The shirtless guy is probably me 😆
@numenorean7 I agree with you. you don't hear this kind of songs on the radio or any those new bands would play this kind of blues.
gimme a break,this kid was and is a prodigy,it has to be aggravating to see and hear people playing your song wrong.rock on k.w.
Top 10 epic songs ever
awesome!!!
What are the correct chords? was it D5 to start out with ?
Can some one send me an accurate tab?
Yes. D5
Sick
@dnnysrock - If you mean that learned from John Mayer with respect to his right hand playing, this song was recorded 4 years before JM released his first album. I am not bagging on JM, but KWS was a blues star before anybody had ever heard of John Mayer. That being said, I like JM's playing style better when he plays blues.
Solid live version, but i think it sounds better with 1 acoustic & 1 electric like they did it on the record.
I’ve always muted the high string. Didn’t sound right when you play it.
awesome! thanks;)
They're high.
Is it just me but does anyone else think this would sound killer playing D minor, definitely not D major like Kenny said love this song it goes over well in my cover band
its hard not to hit the high E.....theres a lot of people who miss the hell out of the whole song on the instructional videos.....give em Hell Kenny
It's def a pain to mute that high E. I press the base of my index finger against the edge of the fretboard while holding the Dsus2 fingering. Takes a little gettin' used to, but it seems to work. When I look at the video, it appears that's how he's doing it as well. I think ;)
its really not that hard to avoid the high e
Nah, use 3rd finger fretting the 2nd string to mute the first string. then you don't have to miss it with the pick... ;-)
No high E thank you man..was driving me nuts cause I thought I had the totally wrong chord!--Did not sound like what you are playing on the CD!--Joni
❤️🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵👍🙏❤️😎
Well, I didn't take it as cocky, just matter-of-fact. I lived in Bossier City in the 60's and learned how to play guitar there. So, I'm a cocky SOB, too...LOL...used to play gigs at the S'port Elks Club. Those were the days...Ventures, Beatles, Stones, Simon & Garfunkle, Beach Boys, Dave Clark Five, etc....
that solo was nice
Whis guy is cool
I'm going to do a finger tap acoustic version, with an electric solo. Maybe he will see that. Michael Hedges and Jimi Hendrix!
sick!
@Blackoutwalkin
Thanks
I want Noah's Hendrix T-Shirt!!!!
Awesome song...Miss Corey Sterling though...
