Charlie Starr...a talented, respectful,insightful and humble man. Love Blackberry Smoke.
Agreed Charlie Star and Blackberry Smoke came up the ol way and are Serving Out Some Serious Outstanding Talent in each Musician...Continued Success ! ol man way down in TX JD .....The word Respectful goes a long way in the Music industry ! Humble added well just doesn't get any better than that !
It's amazing to hear,most of the guitar idols that got me wantimg to play guitar give credit to Whitford and perry. Slash Starr and others. I wasn't as big of a fan of Aerosmith but gain respect from respect if that makes sense. You don't understand the links when you are learning it's just a song. As you get older you understand the lacks the style the Era and then jam!
Sorry spell check licks not lacks haha
Charlie is such an awesome guitar player. You hear him talking of the 'heroes of old', but I'm thinking he is already one of the greats himself.
And it's not mentioned often enough but, his tone? Good Lord!
Charlie is hands down one of the best pickers in all of modern music . His influences are plain to see and does he ever let it shine
A '59 LP into a Dumble Overdrive Special with Charlie Starr at the wheel... Now this made my fookin' day!!!
Does anyone have $200K I can borrow? My grandma needs an operation...
Casual trainwreck sitting next to him too. The best kind of flex from this store.
@Van peter You'd be lucky to get the Dumble for that much! I can't tell what model combo that is but if it's an ODS or SSS, watch out. And a clean LP from that era can be $400K. We can only dream...
God Emperor That’ll only get ya half that combo.🥺
@@DJBiermann It's an ODS
Gibson c'mon finally built the man a signature guitar.. He is a true aficionado and inspires so many people!!!
a jr les paul please,
Totally agree. The man makes that old bit of wood sing! Come on Gibson sort it out .
@@frankmoore1299somebody said this on their new Collection vid with him and Gibson replied directly to the comment so maybe they'll finally do it. I mean... They gave Rick freaking Beato a Signature guitar before Charlie!
If there ever was a more deserving artist, I’d love for someone to point em out. Can’t wait to see these guys live at some point in the future, I’ve only recently done a deep dive into Charley and the Smoke, but I love them so far…
I would definitely buy a Charlie Starr signature les paul
Charlie has the magic touch,always a great tone on any guitar he puts his hands on.
No question ... fun to see him play a guitar with humbuckers .. Badass
Charlie Starr keeping blues based rock and roll alive.. Such an amazing musician..
Been playing a decade and still struggle to figure out early Aerosmith songs! This man speaks the truth
First time I ever heard of or saw this guy. Love it, he's a great player, and great spirit, must be great to hang out with
This is one of the best les Paul sounds ever heard. Charlie you rock it it!
Long overdue signature for an amazing musician. Man deserves it for sure.
Hands down Skynyrd take the cake for the guitar team award, he hit the nail on the head there. And yeah, those guys were playing the same-sounding riff but differently. Working for MCA 'main' riff is a perfect example. Ed's playing it on the 5th on the D string with the little slide from the 8th to 7th fret, Gary's low in the first position, and Allen on the 9th on the A. That song is a perfect explanation of blending multiple guitar riffs to form one. Skynyrd fans know what I'm on a bout!
Charlie Starr is an amazing player in a great band!
I could listen to this guy all day and night
Just saw Charlie and the guys last night. It’s crazy hearing him discuss the guitar teams he loved. And I was think the same thing watching Paul, Benji, and Charlie work together and just have fun all night. Super inspiring.
What an incredible musician. I am very enthusiastic about his very powerful and delicate style.
One of the best for me.
Best band out there, playing real music! BBS...😎
Dare to dream.. who among us wouldn’t enjoy eternally playing that ‘simple’ set up..heavenly tone. Charlie piercing my soul right now..wooh..
Jaw dropping amazing watching closely what Charlie does with his guitars. I can't play a lick or sing on tune. But this is a master craftsman talking and playing. Stunning. Thank you Songbirds Foundation.
Drove 4 hours from Nashville to Bloomington to see BBS about 5-6 years ago by myself. Was eating in a chinese restaurant right down from the venue (Bluebird??) And looked out the plate glass windows and Charlie is walking past the place. I threw a $20 down and went out and said hi. We talked amps for a minute (he had just started using Germinos). Super chill guy and made my night. Show was killer.
Yeah I met him in Nashville about 6 years ago at Harris Teeter in Nashville he was wearing a orange amp cap and I asked him if he played orange and he said yeah he told me he was from Blackberry Smoke keep this real nice guy
I live just south of Bloomington and was at that show. Great show, and it was packed and super hot in there that night with all the people. 😎👍
@@davehiggins2311 heck ya. It was hot as Hades. Remember the name of the opener? Jason Knight and the ??? Or something similar
I can listen to Charlie talk guitars & players for hours! He sure freakin' knows his licks!! Blackberry Smoke ALL THE WAY, BABY!!!
I've been a YES fan for over 40 years. But BBS and Charlie Starr just blow me away. Love it - he's such a great guitarist.
Fantastic, just fantastic. The player, the guitar
, the amp lol top notch
That's a dream Bridge PU Les Paul Standard Tone. Exactly how I always wanted any of my Les Pauls to be, but never really got. It's in a Master's hands ! Time to accept that simple fact.
This is crazy! Charlie who is one of my favorite players is playing a couple of my favorite riffs, "Combination" and "Beating around the Bush".
The kid in the background heard the Free lick and his life changed forever
Isn't that how it always starts. You hear someone pull one and your never the same. I've been chasing it for over 30 years
Let us hope so .We will need him in the future to carry on the love !
I was thinking about the fact that the kid will forever remember the day he was there and seen/heard Charlie ripping it up on that Les Paul...that's the kind of memories/experiences that can and will hopefully change/mold young people's lives.
Song name?
Charlie is my guitar hero. Blackberry Smoke is the best band I have heard in a very long time.
Thank you for this interview. I love Charlie’s guitar playing. He’s such a talented guy. Blackberry Smoke is a great band.
Fantastic guitarist and composer! Such a mature musician and so underestimated...
Wow, Those are some amazing chops and that phrasing is simply beautiful.
Charlie is an excellent guitarist, so tasteful with different licks and so fluid in his approach. So underrated 🤘🤘
I seen blackberry smoke in concert more than a few times.Charlie Starr is one of few players that I can watch and pick stuff up just from watching his fingers. Some players just boggle me, I can totally relate to what he's doing.
Amen to that brother-i do the same. Charlie is the real deal.
Charlie always gets 'that' tone . Raunchy, warm and not to harsh. Yeah, 70s J. Perry is the business !
Yo Tom ..It’s really a very very cool name ...kinda like ..Strawberry Alarm Clock....and..Blind Melon ..and the list goes on and on ..😎🎸
@@edpetrik501 and Ed King was in Strawberry Alarm Clock
Ed Petrik yeah it’s cool. They could have something stupid like “Tom the troll Johnson”
Tom Johnson hey Tom I’ve been playing since 68’ and think he’s sounds good too Am I wet behind the ears, or you. Just pooping out your mouth 🗣💩
Tom Johnson
Tom Johnson is the dumbest name ever. You know “Johnson” is slang for “dick”, right? Your parents probably wanted to put “Harry” at the end, but the hospital wouldn’t let them.
Absolutely nailed Combination…. Wow man! ✌🏼
I've seen BBS 4 times live...great show every single time. Love Charlie.
Yeah!! Knew he was going to play the riff from "Combination".
He is absolutely awesome! I’ll b seeing them in Lake Charles and New Orleans soon! Can’t wait! Very talented man!☮️🐊
Love this guy! Amazing singer, songwriter and guitar player
I loved those first four Aerosmith albums. Some of the best R&R ever played.
Sounds amazing. Super top shelf gear helps. Great playing. Great knowledge
My God. Charlie. Your technique is awe inspiring. Absolutely amazing sir.
Way to go Charlie, love that fat tone and love that u threw a little mystery out there about Joe that not alot of people know. Great session!! Well done sir!!
This man can flat out play!!
Charlie has tone for miles. Uber talented musician. Thanks for posting this
Nice guitar hope to hear more samples on it. Love what your doing for kids.
awesome ….. need more of that with Charlie !!!
docsiltanen this is part 1 of 2. Next week Charlie and Duane’s Les Paul! Subscribe for notifications! Cheers!
I love it when my guitar heroes (In this case, Charlie) have guitar heroes!
me: "oh a 59 lp video.....lets see these guitars can't all sound great" world class player+holy grail guitar= fucking win!
Charlie is a fantastic player!!!
Charlie Star...wow great playing and that tone...Amazing
Perfect combo, Gibson burst, Dumble and Charlie. Don't get no better
I could listen to this man solo for six hours straight. Damn, Charlie! Was glad to see him and the boys play their last show in Ottawa.
They canceled 2 hours before the show in Kitchener. Man I was bummed.
Charlie said the Skynyrd guys could stay outta each other's way... I'd like to see Charlie, Paul Jackson and Benji Shanks do the same thing in BBS. 3 super talented players, Paul is the unsung hero he can play tastefully , stay outta the way and he nails all the high harmony. Charlie and Benji can play anything plus play slide guitar like delta blues beasts. They're damn good!
When will Benji be "official" BBS...?
I think Benji has left
Charlie Starr is the man and Blackberry Smoke rule on!
Love Charlie Starr and #BlackBerrySmoke! I def try to never miss a show when they're anywhere near me. #Amazing live shows! \m| |m/
5:47 Free’s “the stealer” - Paul Kossoff and Andy Fraser were an amazing duo but Andy was on bass, and Paul used a SuperBass so their overlap was better than many bands 👏👏
One of the best right there!
2:30... “Same Old Song and Dance” lick...smooth as it is classy sounding.....Charlie borrowed it at 2:30 in BBS’s “Everybody Know’s She’s Mine”. That lick works perfectly in that tune, one of my favorites by BBS..... Keep cranking out the well crafted music BBS!
Wicked tone on a classic Gibson. Waiting to hear you play Duanes Les Paul. Lucky man Charlie, keep Rockin.
Billy Joe Chambers it is great! Next week!
Put this on and thought 'sounds like my zen drive..'. Then I saw the amp he was playing through (rather nicely) and it made sense. Zen and a twin pretty much nails it. Nice to know. His band are veeeery cool too
I'm wowed by Charlie!!!!!!
6:20 The smile on the kid's face behind the glass in the background when he realizes a real 59' burst is sustaining near him... XD
Great vid,
Thanks! :)
Great tone,tasty licks and one cool dude.
That’s an amazing bridge pup!
Charlie is so awesome!
love your sounds!!
Wow so used to hearing him play acoustic strumming he really has some phat licks and incredible sound definitely his own style but once he mentioned joe perry i could here the influence but i still here his own little southern rock flare too it..
Oh man, I saw that Trainwreck head. Met Ken Fischer many years ago. Wish I bought one of his amps. I couldn't afford it at the time. He re-tubed one of my Marshalls. He let me play through one of his amps, but I was younger and stupider and was looking for more gain. This sounds so sweet to me now.
3:56 I forgot my name! Combination, great riff, one of my favorites. Yes, it's Joe. Wagner did train and that's it.
Great playing rock and roll
Charlie once said that he loved Eddie Van Halen but couldn’t play like Eddie. With all due respect, Eddie could never play like Charlie. Eddie had the brown sound. But Charlie has that sweet southern sound that transcends rock and goes from rock and roll, to country, and even gospel music. Charlie didn’t influence me when I started playing guitar some 50 years ago. As a lover of Les Paul Jr’s he sure is now.
Charlie deserves that LP. I wish I could buy it for him..
Charlie is awesome! I saw Aerosmith on the Toys in the Attic tour and Joe was playing some nice licks for sure.....
Wow❗
Kid, you’re gonna go places 🎉
Unbelievable great player with very tasty sound!
Great skills and tone 🤙
Great Stuff !
Seen Charlie live so many times and his junior or any of his guitars sound fantastic
Guitar helps but its all in the feel and tone and definitely the hands
This is just so Charlie... honest and amazing; don't know a flying petunias about guitars, but hot damn, this sounds good, so good. OK, can't appreciate the details, but wow, thanks Charlie and Songbirds. Lili Kiki in France. merci
Damn, what a sweet sounding instrument !
Nice little reference at the end to the Great Koss.
That ascending riff at 2:50 is just like Charlie plays in the ‘Everybody knows she’s mine’ solo. One of his best solos. 😃
Best song writer in the world right there and a great player.
Charlie playing some "Combination". Awesome. Best Perry lyrics ever.
"Walkin' on Gucci
Wearin' Yves Saint Laurent
Barely stay on 'cause I'm so god damn gaunt"
So funny hearing him talk about using the balance on the stereo to single out Malcolm. I did the same shit. I always loved albums that had good stereo separation in the guitars (and drums like the Allmans first) so you could pick out what each guy was doing.
The algorithm has put me onto Charlie since I pulled up the Blackberry Smoke version of "Workin for the MCA" - which is a masterful take, by the way.- and for once, I'm damn glad of it.
I don’t know if it was the amp or the guitar or both, but DAMMMM!!! That was some amazing tone!!!!
Charlie is the best! Love Blackberry Smoke!
Doesn’t get any better than this
Nice tones. Warm but clear.
Ahhh haaa moment for me .... love Blackberry Smoke and now I know partially why he loves Joes’ stuff , I’m a huge Aerosmith fan so ya it makes sense now.
Wow thats some serious tone right there.
Amazing phrasing. A master
I live in the Chattanooga Tn area, and BlackBerry Smoke was supposed to play River Bend this year.. I was looking forward to seeing them for the first time even tho I live in the South, I never had the chance to see them.. Hoping all works out in the near future to hears Charlie and the boys do what they do best.. Live on stage.. Keep the rock and roll going Guys. We will all come out of this smile"n.. Soon I hope..
They are fantastic!
I hope you get to see them. I got see them play in this real old small venue last year. What a show, it was the best show I have ever seen. And I've seen alot of concerts. BBS playing in that small club was as good as it gets.
Nice to see Mr Starr's been influenced by those timeless, vintage Aerosmith riffs...So have I.
I was born in late 1959, and I've opened many different Les Paul's, all Gibsons. I still have one too, BUT..., dang Charlie Starr, you're an effen Bad Ass Dude. And me...I'm a freak, a southern rocker from North Central Michigan. ( Bell, and Harland County Kentucky on my Momma's side of the family, thanx Grandpop)❤🎸😎❤
Wagner and Hunter played the Sweet Jane intro on Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal. So, it wouldn't surprise me because the lick was that good.
Love you brother! Joan says hi! 👍😎👍😍🤘👌
I gotta learn that 2nd walk this way lick. Sick
Wow
