In 15 years of reading you tube comments sections I don’t think I’ve ever seen *one single thread where eventually someone didn’t post some hate,……until just now. Literally not one single negative comment about this young man. What a beautiful thing.
To be honest, I've been ignoring Kingfish a long time, thinking he's just another kid with a guitar. But listening to him here... I'm sold. He's got the heart and soul of a bluesman. I'm even inspired.
Kingfish is amazing humble young man. His mama raised him right! .True story. . We're hanging out at 152 Beale Street waiting for an Experience Hendrix Show at the Orpeum Theater at the end of the street. We hear somebody say see ya later Fish. We get to the venue and we're taking pictures of these amazing buses painted with Jimi Hendrix album covers. Who walks up as asks if we want him to take a picture of all of us? Kingfish! We still have no idea who he is, but we know he's going to the show. We didn't know he was IN THE SHOW. at the end of the 3 hours of Jimi tunes Buddy Guy hands Kingfish a guitar and says "play it kid". Fish played Hey Joe to close the show. Oh...and he was 17 and still in High School!
I'm fortunate enough to have met this young man personally. He is nothing but a young man and he is exactly what you see. He is an impressive young man. He is a product of his family's understanding of talent, careful effort, supportive, and faithful ethics. He is so humble. He is a young man of solid character and integrity, wise for his age. He was a good influence on this old man. No doubt. Young Kingfish was an example of how wrong my attitude was towards the younger generations. I am a more hopeful man after a honest experience with the teenage Kingfish. It was a couple minutes that felt like a half hour. I am a grateful man. Knowledge through Music. ✌️
I fucking love Kingfish. This man is the real deal. It hardly gets more authentic than him. This is a truly inspiring interview with a human being who completely embodies the music he exudes. What a beautiful soul.
He was destined for success I’ve done shows with 2 of his uncles his family lineage is incredible!! I think Larry influenced him the most you can really hear it in his voice. And what a song writing machine. Sold my sole for rock n roll my all time favorite!!
@@mrsimpson2022 some kids get cancer but he gets the blues? WTF? Also, god's a myth; the Bible is a creative-fiction book filled with backwards science, made-up history, and immoral passages like Psalms 137:9 and Exodus 21. I recommend you watch The Atheist Experience youtube channel, where Christians call in and give their evidence for god.
@Grace&Danger You're bullshit liberal dude. Just because you hate God doesn't mean you have to tell people not to praise our Father in heaven. GOD GIFTED since few people have this talent.
@Grace&Danger Godless people as you are often critics for everything, never happy. Just look at the the God haters in Congress trying to impeach Trump. God protects our president, and Trump will prevail over the mindless haters of Jesus, causing even more fury form liberals since they cannot overcome the Power Of Jesus. Wait and see very soon.
This kid is the greatest thing and has the finest sound I've heard since Hendrix, Freddie King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, rolled into one. Simply Magnificent!! dave w.
This guy is legit. I love the fact he has integrity and humility. He talks so much sense and his stratocaster is so beautiful. Really cool to see the blues being propagated. If you don't have his album, it's a killer. I've had it on heavy rotation for months on Spotify.
If I were Chris, I'd called him king too Idk, but kingfish reminds me of Freddie King (God Bless His Soul) All the big three kings are gone, now I see who will continue their love for the blues He is so humble and polite, what a great person. He's able to show all his ability through his singing and guitar playing while at the same time shows his great character through his singing and guitar playing. So skillful, yet you can feel his delicate touch on every details. As if he treats the guitar as his lady, so delicate and respectful. God bless you, Kingfish Keep the blues alive
I quit playing guitar for several years to focus on learning Chinese. I saw a performance of his and was reminded of how much fun I was depriving myself of. Back to it after that. Thanks King!
@@christopherkahn6522 Absolutely! Michael Chertoff is a Luthier out of Brooklyn. He does build very good sounding guitars at CNC manufacturing prices. He is not advertised anywhere, but you can find him on the usual social media.
@@p6x2 Yea, that is a great sounding guitar, a bit more special than the Strat. My point is that for a mid-level production Strat, the new Vintera Series is like a home run. I love Fender's, Gibson's, Larrivee's, Martin's, and there are a whole lot more fine instruments out there. I even own some great Squier's, and I do mean great.
@@christopherkahn6522 what I really like about the Michael Chertoff's is that for about 2500 USD, you get a real boutique guitar, which is going to be unique. Since he works everything manually, the model you get will be personalized. I am not saying that Fender's and Gibson's can't make a guitar, but as the manufacturing techniques have lowered their production costs, the retail prices have gone through the roof.
Amazing guitar skills as usual. The Vintera series guitar is just awesome, and nobody better to introduce it than Kingfish. Chris, you did an amazing job of knowing the interview subject, asking the right questions, and allowing enough space for a great interview.
Ed Yarb -I prefer the sound he gets from his Michael Chertoff Guitars. This Fender is too twangy of a sound or me. But if he likes it, it’s ok. I like the beefier Gibson type sound.
Just came across your interview now in late 2023. Thanks for posting. I can't get enough of Kingfish's music and his new LIVE IN LONDON album is playing non-stop on my turntable. What a pleasure his talent is to behold.
I just saw King Fish at the Monterey Jazz Festival, WOW! He made me smile for 1 hour and 45 minutes straight. He was so good!!! He came out into the audience and the people went crazy,it we so good.
Heard of this guy back earlier this year and now seeing him on this, fender and normans I'd say this not his year but more say this is his year of growth where more people are finding out about how good he is. I say his year will be next year.
This kid needs more exposure! Great treasure, great talent! he's got chops like nobody's business! I would like to meet him someday in New York City. Keep the blues alive! Rock on!
Cristone is simply a devine sprit here to spread his mothers gift to the world at a time we need it the most. Bravo to this amazing mature young gentileman. Blessings to his mother for ensuring he became the best at what he chose to do in life.❤❤❤
As a metalhead... like ... black and death metal.... kingfish is a wholesome welcome to the blues family. My man shreds. I can’t wait to see what this dude can do. Fucking hail.
Hey man if we didn't have the blues then metal wouldn't exsist and niether would I dare say the maybe the best death metal band entombed wouldn't exsist so I mean the blues is pretty important to metal as a whole. Not to mention no blues means no stoner metal either another favourite of mine.
Great player. I love how humble he is. I wish other up and coming people could watch this guy and realiZe this is the way to act. Really likeable and awesome player. I hope he goes on to to great things!
His mom raised a not just a musical genius, also a fine gentle classy man. Thanks mom, you rock!
Sadly his mother passed away , but it only made the bluesman stronger 🔊🎸
I am glad he is starting to get the attention and recognition he richly deserves, what a talent and old soul!
very true
Me too
I am definitely going to buy his music, and support him. What an awesome musician, and person.
👍
He is so humble and polite. love it.
Bubbas Ernie couldn’t of said it any better
Most definitely :D

JUST LIKE ALL THE OLD BLUES BOYS USED TO BE........
Which is saying something seeing how shit this interviewer was.

He isn't fat: he's full of blues.
Overflowing with Blues
Bursting at the seams with the Blues
Blues berry pies
He’s full of magic
Nah, he is fat haha (that's fine), BUT he is super talented too, so both
glad fender is showing him some love
Is he on the Vintera stratocaster. Its sooooo beautiful
To be honest, I've been ignoring Kingfish a long time, thinking he's just another kid with a guitar. But listening to him here... I'm sold. He's got the heart and soul of a bluesman. I'm even inspired.
I think you are right
He was great opening for SM band in Houston

@@7777Lace i thought you were referring to his story as "fantastic" by the original meaning of the word: to be based on fantasy.
It’s impossible to not like this guy! What a gem!
His personality is gold
He is an amazing musician and has a old school blues soul💙🤘🏻🎸🎤
Please take care of your health, King! We would love to experience your talent for a long long time.
Bruuuuuuuh he is ONLY 20!! His SPIRIT alone is PURE-his SOUL is AMAZING!! Kingfish is 🔥-PERIOD!!!!!!
Hes got that rare soul in his music that has been lacking from most modern artists for 30+ yrs...

I've been watching him a long time. Hes a total badass.
Such a humble king🎸Dude is one of the baddest on the planet.

His guitar is directly plugged into his modest heart!

He is really really good, Blues is not dead!
The King is guitar royalty!!! Best in class. Hands down. Ladies and gentlemen, you're looking at future history right here.
God gifted, not a return from the dead.
@Grace&Danger no man..he is right God gifted... practice makes you better it dont make you..God makes u

Just ran across this guy. He rips and appears very humble.
What a nice dude...I hope he never changes... he won a new fan!
I wish he would tour in Germany. I would instantly buy a ticket.
This kid is the greatest thing and has the finest sound I've heard since Hendrix, Freddie King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, rolled into one. Simply Magnificent!!
dave w.
The man is a genius. The whole history of the genre in one charming package.
I always thought that Kingfish had a babyface. Now l find out that he actually is a baby! So much talent in a humble soul.
Shame I can only like this once. Wonderful player and singer.
This guy is legit. I love the fact he has integrity and humility. He talks so much sense and his stratocaster is so beautiful. Really cool to see the blues being propagated. If you don't have his album, it's a killer. I've had it on heavy rotation for months on Spotify.
My favourite young guitarist in YT. So pure and simple yet fulfilled already.
Love the recognition he is receiving.
He's talented, he's a gift to the Blues, ..very fluid guitar playing , soulful voice, very humble man..
I suspect King is an old soul. Someone talented and humble. 🎶✌️🎸❤️
Great player... just hope he can live long enough to be the legend he surely is.
Ted Knecht take at easy.
he looks like hes lost weight
I have NO DOUBT! Neither should you! ❤
I totally agree. Im obese and its a struggle every day. He is so young i hope he has great people behind him to help him out.
I did not want to say anything about that, but he is such a sweet young man
I hope he stays with us for a long time
THe transition between his speaking voice and his singing voice is great to see. He channels that gold.
I live in the deep south of mexico, and i know kingfish.
Arturo Bañuelos nice
Tell everyone!
Love this guy, he plays straight from the soul, and it doesnt seem like many others can do that nowadays. I can only wish him the best in the future.
This gentleman is the real deal. God bless.
He's that good at 20 he's only going to get better
I don’t know how much better he can get, he is a master
My favorite musician of all time. I have to see him live. Come to Orlando!
After the first 30 seconds, I slammed that like button like my life depended on it
I just taught my 6 year old half Filipino son to play the 12 bar blues beat on the drums. WOOO!
If I were Chris, I'd called him king too
Idk, but kingfish reminds me of Freddie King (God Bless His Soul)
All the big three kings are gone, now I see who will continue their love for the blues
He is so humble and polite, what a great person.
He's able to show all his ability through his singing and guitar playing while at the same time shows his great character through his singing and guitar playing. So skillful, yet you can feel his delicate touch on every details. As if he treats the guitar as his lady, so delicate and respectful.
God bless you, Kingfish
Keep the blues alive
Yes, reminds me of him too
Freddie King
Saw him open for Buddy Guy May1, 2019 in Nashville, & he blew me away.
Humble & Polite He is, I just love "Kingfish" just saw him in OKC, this past Sunday had a great experience!!!
Shit I was there too
Darn it. I only found out about him yesterday. If I'd known last year I'd of been there in OKC with you.
Hes the man,great voice,playing and personality !
Just stumbled onto this guy. He is incredibly talented. What an amazing talent.
His voice is golden
I quit playing guitar for several years to focus on learning Chinese. I saw a performance of his and was reminded of how much fun I was depriving myself of. Back to it after that. Thanks King!
He's got the goods... the hands and the voice. A gift to the blues world!
I hope when live music come back, he comes to Scotland so I can see the dude in person, what a talent!
That's a killer guitar. It will be interesting to hear what Kingfish does with it. I love his version of Hey Joe. It's very unique.
I preferred his Michael Chertoff signature guitar. Obviously, An endorsement from Fender is more lucrative.
Is that the one shaped like a Les Paul?

Great human being, wish him all the best...we def. will hear from him...
