    Sonny has a very unusual slide technique, wearing the slide on his little finger, and fretting notes with his other fingers behind the slide, pushing them far enough away from the slide to ring cleanly with the slide still in place and acting on other strings. Derek plays slide more conventionally, but is absolutely excellent. Two of the very best!

    • @GBeret83
      @GBeret83 11 месяцев назад +1

      @davelehnen3300, Derek style is very much in the mold of Duane Allman and Sonny using the slide on his little finger and fretting behind the slide very much like Johnny Winter, who always used his slide on his little finger too.

    • @Mister_Samsonite
      @Mister_Samsonite 8 месяцев назад +1

      Pretty clever trick, fretting behind the slide. Depending on the string height, if you're tuned to an open major chord, you can use a finger behind the slide to get a minor chord when needed.

      Except he plays without a pic which is very unusual for a slide player 😉

    Two amazing slide guitarists, in Derek and Sonny, make for an amazing performance. I think it's Dave Ransom on bass, who's tearing it up with them. Fantastic performance. Absolutly a great match made in heaven.Great reaction Harri. 😊 Thanks Harri and Frank. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

    Sonny Landreth.....one of the best ever!! This opens the door for the Mighty Mighty Neville Brothers......some the best shows I have seen were the Nevilles the best being at small venues, fortunately many many times. My heart broke when first Charles then Papa Funk passed away. I was lucky to meet them, I was in heaven. Check them out. This was amazing find..one I had missed. Thanks!! Love your channel.

    Absolutely fantastic Harri.

    Sonny lives in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. He had the good fortune of playing in Clifton Chenier's band at a young age. A studio version of this song appears on his "South of I-10" album, which is one of my favorite albums from the 90s. Mark Knopfler plays on that song on the album.

    Sonny Landreth is the best blues/slide guitar player you have never heard of. He has been around for years. He is like Towns Van Zandt. You have heard his music but don't know who he is.

    Mind Droppings ..... Sonny Landreth opening for the Tedeschi-Trucks Band would make for a Great Double Bill !! Personally I've already seen these 2 onstage performing together in 2009 at the Allman Brothers Legendary 40th Anniversary run at The Beacon Theater . The ABB had different guests for every night of that run & I was there for the night Sonny was 1 of the guests . I went to 4 of the shows that year & I think on the night Sonny guested , Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top was one of the other performing guests . Unless with my aging memory that was on another night .... 🙃

    Now go back and listen to John Mayhall’s blistering rendition. Sure, this one plays well for an arena audience, but Mayhall has the soul this one hopes to emulate.

    • @chopa2less

      I couldn't disagree more. Anything but blistering; severely watered down to my ears. And it's Mayall, not Mayhall.
