  • Here is the second clip shot with my amazing Osmo 4k gimbal on a stick! I love this thing! In this clip Junior started out with some blues rippin' and worked his way through some surf tunes, that you all will recognize! If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend Junior Brown Live on stage!

      To me the hat looks like he's riding a bull with style and flare to the max and I would assume it is to get him into the zone especially the suit because if you look good you feel good and if you feel good of course you play good so the shoes he is wearing maybe florishimes or Adidas LOL yes he truly rocks though

    I saw Junior in a club in Melbourne, Australia, ages ago and he rocked, he's an amazing guitarist and hilarious lyricist. He was as loud as a rock band (he had two Fender Twin Reverbs blasting, he's only using one in this video) but the whole show had great volume and feel dynamics, from loud to a whisper. Kudos to his great band too.

    Junior is an ICON!! top notch picker and player. I just want to note here, He mostly plays with two fingers.. First and middle fingers.. He has guge hands, so for that reason, passing whole note runs is easier for him with those two. Eric Clapton does the same thing. Those of us with "Regular" size hands, LOL, have to use forefinger and ring... Sometimes I try to use my first and middle just to feel it. I just don't have the reach... Love his playing and listen often. Too cool...
