Now you're talkin', NIk. Anson is often overlooked because he's understated in his playing, but he's always been a badass. Also, the late Charlie Baty is amazing.
Thank you! What a pleasant surprise to start the day! I love Anson. I had the chance to saw him live with Sam Myers in Paris. Great lesson and great player! Never heard of Jon. I am going to check him out now but...he is old enough to play in bars? Stay safe!
Fabulous Thunderbirds have always been a favorite of mine and Jimmy's playing during that time was really influential in my early years. Then I found Anson and it really cemented a fondness for that style of playing. I'll routinely put both into my listening rotation when I need the reminder to slow my playing down. Great episode, gonna be checking Mr Hay now.
It's great to see young gunslinger's coming up and keeping the tradition. It'll only die if we let it. It's all in the soul. Thanks for the Tuesday blues!
I learned blues backwards...SRV, Gary Moore first with overdrive...back to this now...got my super tone/reverb on my Rivera m60 dialed in! Thanks for the lesson! Go man!
I love John his spirit he’s such an awesome person to himself and he’s going to make a great player someday as he already is he’s just going to get better and better👍
That’s one of my favorite albums. Jimmy Vaughan is a f*cking killer player. Oh and this has nothing to do with it but I mentioned to you that I was gonna put together a tele. I used a pine body, maple neck. PAF style neck pup and a broadcaster style bridge pup Painted it w/stew Mac nitro rattle cans whatever the color is of white guards I used a 5 way switch w/ out of phase positions etc, audio taper pots, oil and paper caps. I’m so stoked on it, never had tele I loved so much!! This is how I can afford decent guitars. I always put together strats. I can build them $200-500.
@Nik Sevigny hey was John's strat vintage? The pickups sounded like real vintage pickups. I know he said the neck was a Jazzmaster but I can always tell when the pickups are real vintage strat pickups. I'd be surpirised if they were not and would want to know who made them. HAHA. Thanks !
...never really understood the Garry Moore thing ...not to question his ability or knowledge of course ...have always found him a bit 'frantic' - I'll have to do a bit more searching on here... any pointers?
He's not for everyone, that's for sure. My first introduction to him was my dad playing the Blues Alive CD and following it up with BBM Around the Next Dream. I was big into Cream at the time and BBM was basically 2/3 of Cream with Gary sounding like he was living out a child hood dream of filling in for Clapton in Cream...it stuck with 14 year old me. For me it's less about the speed he was known for and more about the intensity of those flurries and his vibrato.
Anson was influenced by BB King and Little Milton go check out BBs My Kind of Blues as John Hay states and you will hear Anson. I have been fortunate enough to play with him and he had the most perfect sense of time and wonderful tone and taste and space. It may sound simple until you try to play it takes total control of the instrument.
The Riff w Nik Sevigny ok thanks, sounds good! After I texted I watched some more, looked like it had the bigger head stock? Did they do that on jazz masters like they did on some strats?
Anson is just as cool and sweet as his playing ...a gentleman too boot, and the nicest guy I've ever toured with..
Ronnie Earl should go under the magnifying glass next. He's such a great player who influenced so many.
I own Atlanta Vintage Guitars ....lets chat sometime soon ...Anson is a dear friend of mine and I liked that John Hays playing a lot as well ..Greg

Love Charlie, my dad and I binged on the Nightcats as soon as he discovered them way back.
Charlie was my favorite, he had the mojo

Glad to see young guns carry on the tradition! Anson is awesome! Lots of cool players in that vein! Good luck to Jon. Thanks for sharing!

Great bluesy call Nik...i was reading of Anson especially in the mid-80s, another versatile Strat fave of mine!
Nik, this is super valuable, thank you again!
Nice stuff. BB King Wails is a great album.

Great video Nik thank you!
Super interesting analysis. Thanks!
Saw John sit in with Jimmie Vaughan at C-Boys in Austin years ago - totally mature player & singer already back then.
Yessss! Jon is the cat!
I love these videos! The breakdowns are much appreciated! Thanks

Jon reminds me of a young Eric Johnson.

To be fair, i never got it either
...glad I'm not alone

Checkout Anson doing BB's "Walking Dr Bill" off Anson's "Talk To You By Hand"
HAPPY LISTENING!

Is that a 65 jazzmaster neck? Cause I sold one on eBay, that’d be cool to know!
1960
