I saw KWS in the late 90s at Memphis in May. He closed with Hendrix and there was a guy in the front with his young boy on hos shoulders. The little boy was giving Kenny a thumbs up sign throughout the song. And when Kenny finished, he gave them hos guitar.
Kenny what a young legend and a guitar master at a young age. No matter what he plays it will always sound like Kenny. Thanks for sharing Fil and a great analysis on Mr Wayne Shepherd. Also I remember figuring out songs using cassette tapes, rewind rewind. Better than wearing out your turntable needle.
FIL >>>> We all need to give props to Fil ! ..... Fil is just as fun to watch as the artists, I dig watching Your pure joy and enthusiasm for guitar- rock-blues-music history etc... You are such an honest and consummate professional representative of Your generation...cheers from a 57 year old former touring drummer :)
Yes...lots and lots of props! Cheers to you, too!
AMEN!!
Thanks Steve!
"winks' :)
Jimi would probably never believe how Timeless his music is here we are all these years later still playing them somebody needs to have a talk with the sound guy in this video
Thank you for pointing out the old school way that so many of us used to learn songs, repeated listening, etc.!
Sometimes it was confusing because you play the tape or album over and over and hear something new every time you practice it along with the song. And then when you're certain you have a bit of the song down, you play the song and hear something new again.
It really trains your ear to hear the whole ensemble, and how all the pieces fit together.
Not only are your analyses invaluable to guitar players of nearly every experience level, but to non-players as well. These vignettes are (in an oblique way), the equivalent of tabs for players. The notes are the hearts of a song. These commentaries are so high-quality, they become a part of the soul of the song. Then, going back and listening to your choices uninterrupted, makes a much richer experience. In some cases even listening to other songs. It carries.
THAT was wonderfully written, CreekyGuy, and truly accurate. I'm always getting my non-player mind opened and my listener soul moved.
@@lynndow3185 - You're kind.
Thank you, I suggested him!!!!!! I was on that cruise, it was amazing!!! There were so many fantastic guitarists on it!! Eric Gales, Kirk Fletcher, Josh Smith, Chris Caine, Devon Allman and Duane Betts...the list goes on and on!! Again thank you!!
You and me both but I linked the Guitar Center performance...either way, thanks Fil!
WOW! That must have been so much fun! Thanks to you and Coyotius for suggesting this phenomenal player.
Jesus...what a line up.
Lucky bastard 🤗
I saw KWS over 20 years ago. Never thought to suggest him to Fil. I’m glad you did.
Cool!
Happy to hear your analysis of Kenny. A great job, Fil!! A very talented guitarist. My favorite cover of Voodoo Child will ALWAYS be SRV!!
He's a monster. So well played. Ty Fil! I've had some good times playing this song with a couple of the bands I was in. If you let it, the song will take you. :D
It truly has a life of its own, so much fun to play
Love KWS. Try to see him whenever he comes around because he never disappoints. His shows are some of the best I've ever seen. He ends every show with this song and it always blows the roof off the joint. Great analysis of an absolutely phenomenal band. Thanks!
What I like the most is: SAMANTHA FISH & KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD "GOING DOWN SLOW" LIVE IN CONCERT 6/14/19 FORT WAYNE. I want that played on my funeral. It gives me the holly shivers every time I hear it.
Kenny's dad was good friends with Stevie Ray, if you look at the drummer, you'll see Chris Layton from Double Trouble. Long live the blues.
Absolutely love how you describe the breakdown of the music. I bought a guitar and tho never took it far, but as you say, songs I'd listened to numerous times and to then play along with them by ear, just made me feel like a King, despite my children s scoffing. They lack the vision of what i wanted to do and accomplish for my own self esteem.
KWS has been a guitar legend since he was a kid, just amazing.
I saw him live in Italy a few years ago and i gotta say i was very impressed by his playing. He's got great control of the guitar and you can see a lot of SRV in his playing as well as Hendrix. We need more of guitarists like him these days!
Great Review, KWS is one of my favorite Strato-Master.
Great to watch this performance as KWS makes it look much easier than usual (for himself).
This performance is masterful in the way KWS projects his expression with each and every note played.
I believe Kenny uses a Tube Screamer and a King of Tone, both obviously running at the same time!
So great when the dynamics of the guitar run from one extreme to the other in the same riff.
It takes lots of experience to make it look as easy as KWS does performing this track.
Thanks for the Review Fil, much appreciated and really enjoyable/entertaining.
Il be seeing KWS with Buddy Guy next month, I can't wait!!
Jealous!
I had the pleasure of meeting kenny at a car show in 2006...I got an autograph and spent about 30 minutes chatting....Great guy
What a wonderful analysis. Thank you!
Great to see you, Fil, as an accomplished guitarist and performer watching this performance with admiration and appreciation. I've been playing since 1967 and I still love to see the greats playing and performing, and appreciate what the greats can do. Great video, my friend.
Blown Away ! Great sound and performance!
Kenny Wayne was more directly influenced by SRV, I think his version sounds like Austin TX
And who exactly, was SRV influenced by? These are Hendrix's licks. They're a lot cleaner than he played them, but still, they came from him!
Yes!!! Thanks Fil for doing an analysis on KWS!!..U were spot on with ur analysis as usual..I've been a huge fan of his for over 20 years..He is absolutely phenomenal live in concert..Again, thanks so much..
Thank you for doing this analyses, one of your best ever!
Hi Phil, just listened to Kenny Wayne Shephert Band's Same Same Same (Montreux 2019) and thought this would be worth for you to listen to, cheers mate, and thx for all the work you've done...
Thx again Fil. I always learn a few things from your videos. I saw KWS bk. in 17.' He was in a band w/ S.Stills, The Rides. They rocked. peace...
I’ve never heard him! Excellent music to relax with! Thanks Fil! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Fil mate. Love n respect from Bristol
Fil, your RUclips channel is one constant guitar lesson!
Thanks!
Walter Trout also...phenomenal 4 days!!! We also had the pleasure of Chris Layton, Reese Wynans and Tommy Shannon!!
Walter Trout- Haven't heard that name in a while. He had a steady gig (a few weeks at least)in Huntington Beach in the mid 90's. Mind blowing blues at a Beach bar off pch & fun to funky!
That reminds me, have you ever reviewed Walter Trout? He is a favorite of mine for more reasons than his great guitar playing and singing voice.
Just saw this post and just randomly found another YT from cruise-dream vacation! Wow!
OMG, Reese Wynans. Got his LP through Joe Bonamassa.
Great wah on Voodoo. I almost forgot about Kenny. Thanks for the reminder!
Great rendition by Kenny! Loved this particular cover. Wonderful analysis Fil and I also really enjoyed GFR a couple days ago. Some really great talented musicians, the whole bunch!
Lovin' your take on Kenny's take on Hendrix.
His right hand is exactly like SRV!
Thanks Fil!!...Kenny does Hendrix so proud!!!...✌❤🤘🎸
Oh, no, come on now, Lori....
@@paulablissett9396 .....Chill girl...lol... I said he did him proud I didn't say he did better than him...✌❤🤘
@@loripond1839 , i'm sorry, he didn't do Jimi proud, he was probably holding is hands over his ears, lol! Jimi never used the wha that much in Voodoo Child, or Chile, KWS is just making a bunch of noise! Peace to you girl, i'm 'CHILL'.....
True talent!! He just blows me away! Love watching him play!! 👍👍👍
KWS is a great showman and blues player. Great brake down Fil you always hit on the right technique of all these great player. Including yourself !! Rock
I like everything about Kenny’s playing! First saw him at a very young age and thought he was awesome! Yeah there’s a lot of Hendrix in this song which I absolutely enjoyed! Great insight Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀👌🤘
Wow that must have been so much fun,too play on this rig,what a voice
Good one Fil🎼🦊🐋😍
Forgot to mention - thanx for introducing another youngster i've never heard of. Now off to check him out further...
Another great in depth and detailed video from you Fil....you definitely do your homework 🙏🏻 Kenny is a phenomenal blues guitarist, thank you for showcasing him....check out Philip Sayce and give us the rundown on him, another phenomenal blues guitarist as well....👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Great job Fil...as always....Kenny is so good...his lp,Trouble Is....is a classic....Rock!!
I'm a huge fan of Kenny and own all of his albums. On one of his releases he handles the vocals and actually has a really good singing voice. I caught him on a Experience Hendrix tour and also opening for The Mighty Van Halen and he was awesome!!!
Always loved Kennys playing. He's a fantastic guitarist! Always liked Noahs voice too. You give such a great teaching Fil, always! Rock on.🎸🎵
Chris Layton is still in Kenny's band
Thanks for analyzing this.
KWS is one talented dude! ❤😎^m^
Very nice cover. will have to check out his songs
Greeat! And cool strat!!!!!....... reverse headstock, bridge pickup angle, AND lefty bridge AND lipstick pickups ....i was dreamed of that kind of strat!
Doesn't matter if I am familiar or not with the artists or bands you feature on your channel... Your analysis and breakdowns are very informative and enjoyable... keep Rockin' through the years Fil.
Yep I was born in the 1960s and we didn't have any internet videos or tablature books back then so I had to learn everything the hard way. Including music theory in school. I had an old Radio Shack 2-speed telephone recorder on which I would record leads then play them back at half-speed (and an octave lower) and transcribe them myself. Definitely the HARD way!! Finally I LOVE Kenny's style :)
I have KWS all over my playlist, going back a decade. And I agree, Noah Hunt's voice is incredible. Like warm butterscotch.
THX FOR THIS😍 BIG FAN KENNY AND NOAH❤ AGREE WITH EVERYTHING. GREAT SHOWMAN AND WHO DOESNT ❤ JIMI 🎸
I remember going through several cassette players from constantly rewinding and playing trying to learn songs. It really felt like an accomplishment to figure out how to play something. Though, I have no doubt that if there had been videos back then I would have used them hahaha!
Hey, Fil! Thank you for your fair analysis! At this time, Kenny Wayne Shepherd is the best. No, he's not SRV. He's KWS and he has his own riffs! This was filmed on a cruise. What can you expect? I've seen him LIVE many times and he sounds as good as his recordings. Not many are able to do that! He burns slow, then sizzles, then bursts into a whole lightning storm of musicality. I didn't know you did this and I suggested a KWS tune for you to view. I hope you do that. It's also LIVE, and you'll see what I'm talking about. Once again, thank you so much!
First guy i saw playing guitar behind his neck was Buddy Guy on his first tour in England, 1963 at the Whisky a GoGo in Birmingham. What an eye opener that gig was, different CLASS
Thank you!! I did too!!
The beginning of the song is such a classic.
Kenny's awesome! I saw him with Double Trouble at his first album release party in Shreveport. Seen him several times. I saw him in Long view Texas when he was first starting out. Had a different singer.
Longview my home town. Kenny was a kid at the Ally fest.
@@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61 I saw Bugs at Ally fest.
I must concur - that 10 Days Out set is exceptional!!
KWS Band... one of the best shows I ever attended. Small venue, general admission, hangin' in the front row. He is a talent. Everyone know that Mel Gibson is his father-in-law? Just a little trivia.
Kenny was one of the high spots on the Experience Hendrix tour.
Can't believe it's been 25 years since that skinny kid was making waves on the Blues circuit.
People have to remember, when this song first came out in what, 68? That sound, that intro, just blew EVERYONE'S mind!
I had the pleasure of seeing him in 2002, I think. Noah Hunt was already singing with him. He was a prodigy. Love him.
Saw Him with Skynyrd & Paul Rogers 1997😁👍🎸 Phenominal!!!
Some killer vibrato there Kenny.
I would rewind tapes trying to get the lyrics to songs and I guess that I learned to "hear" the different instruments at the same time without realizing it.
My 2 fave KWS songs are "Blue On Black" & "King's Highway". 👍👍
Fil, next review suggestion is from the same cruise, the ktba cruise. "Going Down" with Kenny Wayne Shepard, Samantha Fish, Walter Trout and Joe Bonamassa. Amazing bro, just amazing. Keep up the great vids.
nice to hear young guys following the Hendrix legand
KWS and Noah Hunt (one of best singers I can think of) are an amazing act. and very versatile, e.g., Kenny’s relatively simple country Blue on Black” or a Bob Dylan funky “Everything is broken”
Makes ya wanna be a rock star. like you Fil. ROCK!
😂
Thank you Sir Fil. Oh yes some of SRV DNA sprinkled on to KWS.
You picked another Guitar Great! Awesome choice Fil! 👍😎
Seen Kenny a few times he’s a great live Performer. One thing I appreciate about him is if he does do a cover he makes it his own-Great review
Love the video and analysis. Fil, I'd like to see a breakdown of Buddy Guy. If you've did one, I've missed it. He's a personal favorite.
Great playing by kws. Great analysis by Fil! Saw him open for Aerosmith when he was first starting out. Kids got some chops for sure. Would like to see a Philip Sayce analysis. Kind of a similar feel to Kenny. Definitely pulls inspiration from Jimi and Stevie.
Made me laugh! When you were talking about hammer-ons and pull-offs, you said you get a noise when you pull your finger off the string. I feel I must correct you...I get a noise when I do a pull-off, Kenny gets a note! Thanks for another great vid!
😂👍
Looking at your t-shirt reminder me of the album "Argus" by Wishbone Ash. How about an analyses of Time Was from that album....ROCK
Well said Fred.....I think of all the rips... He is very Authentic....
Great Hendrix cover! I am not familiar with this great artist! Sure will get to know him and his music. Thanks, fil.
Wow
Fil , another great backdown .
KWS is just damn good!!!
This is so funny, because Steven Stills said of Kenny, your too nice! I need you to kick my ass!
kKenny Wayne is a showman extraordinaire.
Jimi'd be smiling.
Rock! :-)
Maybe not, i know he's smiling down @ Randy Hansen, tho.....
@@paulablissett9396 fair enough.
@@annemickelson2621 Thank you...
@@paulablissett9396 You're welcome.

Chris „Whipper“ Layton on drums, former drummer of SRV & Double Trouble!
Thanks FIl, I've loved him since Deja Voodoo. I think the drummer may be Chris Layton from Double Trouble, he played with Kenny in 2018, not sure it was a permanent arrangement.
It is.
I've seen KWS quite a few times now, and he's simply fantastic. He embodies SRV but in a way where you can tell he just wanted to mix it in with his own style.
Seen Kenny back when he first came on scene w/ Van Halen at the Virginia Beach Amphitheatre. Kenny' s band upstaged Gary Sharone and VH. Killer pic Fil Yer The Man🤘
Hendricks played from his MIND and SOUL
Great version. I always liked him.
He has soft hands like Hendrix and SRV. Very wristy and fluid as it all flows naturally. Nothing in his playing is forced. Great to watch and listen to - his control is first class.
That's how it's done...Guitar first.
Have you or will you do a video on Link Ray's The Rumble? Cheers.
He’s playing with Buddy Guy for two shows on his US tour!
Hurrah!
Went to the link. Didn't know this side of him. Thought he was younger. His lines are clean-cut as hec! Only knew some album cuts and some of 'The Rides'. Shudda KNOWN there was a deeper back round. Thanks.....aGAIN.
Man, thought that was a big fan and a smoke machine. Awesome playing
Nice
love when youngsters get into rockin blues...Johnny Lang,, Johnny Diesel, etc
Great one Fil Kenny lives or hales from Shreveport Louisiana. Which is 45 minutes from my home town in North East Texas Longview. Gotta admit he's shredded the f... out of voodoo child. He's already got a list of original numbers that are on yeah classic rock stations here since modern day rock seems to have disappeared from radio been that way for a pretty good while it's just so ridiculous. Its almost blasphemy that the rock genre is almost... not gonna say it it's better to burn out than fade away. By God no matter what happens Rock will never die . That's one thing Neil Young got right even though my southern mates had to set him straight. But non of any of that matter its exactly what your saying Fil it doesn't matter what public radio has got to offer because of RUclips. Kenny has been around for 20 years so he is very experienced. Good call Fil . Great job. Rock ! 🤘🎶🇨🇱😎👍
