+MattyBEightyThree Met him about 20 years ago at the airport in Washington and got to hang with him for an hour while we waited for our flights. He's exactly as cool as you'd hope. I couldn't believe nobody else recognized him -- he was even wearing a satin jacket with a big Fender logo on it!
Oh wow - that's an awesome brush with an incredible guy. When I heard Traveling Man by Ricky Nelson as a little kid (with my parents), the solo made me stop and take notice. Cropper was way ahead of his time.
We need more music education like this. More playing and less talking about it. Just like with speech we learn to talk by hearing others talk and then later we learn the rules of speech. Learning by hearing then improving by developing knowledge of the rules later feels like the more natural order. I wish more TH-cam guitar instructors understood this. I guess all of the excess talking on other videos works for some, but I like this straight ahead "just play it" method a whole lot better.
Some of the best lessons / Demonstrations out there. I wish you would come back.
I'll enjoy learning this now - thanks! Steve Cropper...what a R&B genius.

+MattyBEightyThree Travelin' Man was James Burton - another one of the all-time greats.
Lol - the memory isn't what it used to be:)
I was at that stones concert in spain during the 80s .
one of the coolest riffs in music, masterfully played Tricker !!!
I always loved the intro to this song. Thanks
Funny thing, I know this song well but never knew who sang it. Now I do. Good job.
Nice work
Great Job Sir!!!
Play it James!
Fantastic
Steve would be proud!
That is a fun one
"Play it Steve!!!"
That's the best part of the song.
Great job! It sounds better in the key of E.
This is totally dialed in. You've played this before!
+Robert Lane Never played it until 5 minutes before I recorded this.
Brother James got soul. He got feel. Have you ever been experienced? Well, he has.
2:10 in...a C chord as a triad?
+brpbrpbrpbrp Yes, but I included the D string open when it went to the triad. Gives it a nice transition feel into the resolving chord.
You need a "smile-a-vision" to watch this one. I bet this breaks your views.
