Wow, really? That’s nuts, I had no idea he would even have been aware of me! If that’s really true that’s totally awesome. Cheers Dean. And all the very best 👍😎🙏🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Came here to post something similar. “Chuck, it’s your cousin, Marvin!” Killer solo. Has a bit of Jon Scofield feel to it. Good stuff!
It's right at that bend at 1:13 where to jumps into rock/fusion land. I love how much your bandmates are getting into it. What a great and supportive crew. Beautiful work all the way through, whatever genre you want to call.
1:50 What happened at the end is MAGIC. 1- Ending tapping dancing extasy sexy solo 2-Looking at band members and understanding the situation. 3-And the best !!! TRYING to switch back to chords without being notice ! lolll
Dude- your phrasing and vocab are unrivaled. Sounds fantastic in all genres but I really like hearing you play jazz. Seems like it might be intimidating to follow you, but it should inspire. Would like to have heard what the trumpet player did. Next time have the horns do some hits to support solo rise. I’d like to hear you front your own organ trio. That would be cool.
Not unrivalled similar to frank gambale but tasteful, Joe pass Barney Kessel herb ellis George Benson these guitarists are very common but famous rock guitarists are rare only ever 3 or so you can think of, Clapton Santana Hendrix, much more famous than 10 jazz guitarists put together
You have to be one my favourite players of all time and I have played for over 30 years. Awesome, I just love the way you blend Rock with Jazz. Totally brilliant.
It almost feels like a return of the roots in a way with rock coming from blues and blues being a standard form in jazz. Like your kid brother that goes off to find himself before coming back to be a part of the family.
I dont know who are you and why are you in my recommendations but you gave me 2 minutes of pure joy. THIS IS music. The way it should be. You really feel it. Thanks a lot
Same! Never heard of the fellow, but I kept seeing videos pop up, and I said "hey, why not?" and wow, I should have clicked sooner! This man is a monster! EDIT: Just did a bit of Googling, and I've learned that he plays with Steven Wilson. That's wild.
You didn't forget. You played what you heard in your head. And I consider myself qualified to know that by now how the phrases were laid out. Congratulations!
That was absolutely some of the tastiest phrasing I’ve ever heard. Honestly, the way you melted this in here is the very definition of jazz, if you ask me. God tier.
Goosebumps. I close my eyes and I think I hear Guthrie Govan playing... The only difference is that you have a little less hair now! Bravo! 👏👏 ...and that danceing over pedals... awesome!!!
Thank you mate. I was just thinking of you… we’re playing in London Pizza express again on Friday. Wanna come? I think Dave will come along too, might ask few other people… I’ll drop u a text in a bit 👍🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic i just had to listen to it a few more times... yup.. you win best build up of a solo. you start off with that Mike Stern lumpy bebop, then move crescendo to Jazz fusion, then shred the fretboard . just perfect... and your jumping around. i can feel it. i got to practice more.. haha . Inspiring.
This is one of the tastiest guitar solos i've heard in my entire life, I'm absolutely astonished. Your vocabulary is seriously unrivaled, I'm hearing things I had never heard before in my life, fresh and original but so clean
Awsome solo, love the phrasing & there’s bit of everything in that solo! Seems to me thinking goes out the window then instinct, practise and incredible musicality takes control! Love it
I imagine that the title is a joke about the tapping at the end and that made me giggle. I honestly think this is what a good solo should be about. You got lost in the moment and came up with exciting and beautiful phrases and on top of that, played fluidly and with an amazing sound. This was absolutely mind-blowing. Hats off and keep having fun.
Man, watching you play gives me that warm fuzzy feeling of excitement, like when I first heard John Petrucci, or Lifeson, or Vai, or Guthrie... hearing those phrases and ideas flow, you are a gem, bro! Truly gifted! More than just chops!!!
pure instinct, i hardly noticed rationalization, i didnt feel the notes in my head, my ears... i felt them in my gut. Really nice job, its such a joy see a free man.
Oh Lord! To quote the mighty Van Halen, "Somebody get me a doctor!" That "Atomic Punk" made me melt like an "Ice Cream Man" on a hot "Summer Night"! Alex, phhht... I don't even know what to say!!! 😱
This is one of the most interesting and fresh guitar solos I’ve heard in a very long time. Great blend of genres, phrasing, melodies, and it was just fun man 👏
What a wonderful sound and great song. You have inspired me since Guitar Heaven - Amsterdam to start playing the guitar again and to abuse the Boss Katana musically.
0:58 - Alex! That riff! It's delicious and beautifully played with your stellar timing, syncopation, knowledge of where it would best 'fit'. It's the kind of lick that, by the time you're done with that phrase, I'm gritting my teeth and scrunching up my face, like a 'Awww yeah, man'. If I was witnessing this performance in person, I'd have lit a fire within my palms from the amount of clapping.
Totally outside the box phrasings, and yet still right there in the pocket the entire way. Glorious!!
Agree 100%!
Thank you soo much sir 👍🙏🎸
Cheers Adrian 👍🙏🎸
I was thinking about what to say about this performance and you said it for me. thanks man
I was thinking the same thing! Very creative playing and awesome to listen to as well!!!
Monster of a solo!! Even John Petrucci said you are insanely good when he signed the pick guard you signed for me !
Wow, really? That’s nuts, I had no idea he would even have been aware of me! If that’s really true that’s totally awesome. Cheers Dean. And all the very best 👍😎🙏🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic certainly is! He recognised the names on my pick guard, including Paul Gilbert !
@@DeanMarriottGuitar epic piece of history you are creating.
@@FlyingDaddy721 petrucci is quite aware of the modern players around him, not something common in musicians tbh.
@@valebliz Petrucci is a Berklee alumnus, so he probably has the tendency to be aware of the modern state of music.
You shredded so hard the sax player nearly fell over a few times.
Hahaha, yeah man, love his reaction on this one... I didn't notice until I watched it back 👍🙏🎸
I laughed so hard at this, then even more when watching again xD
I feel that that's what's jazz is all about. Fun, innovation, groove, interaction, improvisation, fusion... Killer solo. You were on 🔥!
It actually doesn't sound outside of the realm of what some jazz guitarists would do, specially those that play fusion.
Now this is a good solo. Great phrasing and melodies. It eventually built up to the last shredding bits. Love it.
Thank you very much mate much appreciated 👍🙏🎸
And very good "aaahhhhs" too!
@@Marunius Cheers mate 👍🙏🎸
I've never made so many stank faces in my entire life! Phenomenal!!! 🔥
🤣😂🤣😂 I love it. Thanks man. 👍🙏🎸

Hell yeah ❤
I have replayed this video around 20 times now and I still can't get enough of it
Well I don't need breakfast this morning because that was beyond TASTY, man! 😁👍
Thank you Man. What are you having for Lunch? 👍🙏🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Might just watch this video again! 🤣
It's right at that bend at 1:13 where to jumps into rock/fusion land. I love how much your bandmates are getting into it. What a great and supportive crew. Beautiful work all the way through, whatever genre you want to call.
Thx man, yeah they're a great bunch 👍🎸🙏
Trumpet guy is in full stank face mode...
1:50 What happened at the end is MAGIC.
1- Ending tapping dancing extasy sexy solo
2-Looking at band members and understanding the situation.
3-And the best !!! TRYING to switch back to chords without being notice ! lolll
Hahaha, thanks mate.... Yeah this was a really fun gig. I'm glad it came across in the video 👍🙏🎸

Thank you so much mate. I've been thinking about doing an Organ trio thing so yes thanks for the suggestion. All the best 👍🙏🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic 👍🏼
Yeah, giving me the frank zappa vibes
Not unrivalled similar to frank gambale but tasteful, Joe pass Barney Kessel herb ellis George Benson these guitarists are very common but famous rock guitarists are rare only ever 3 or so you can think of, Clapton Santana Hendrix, much more famous than 10 jazz guitarists put together
Thanks for commenting, I forgot about this improvised gem and it was nice to listen to again.
The gods took him for two and a half minutes. Good he´s back.
Haha 😂 Cheers man. 👍🙏🎸
OMG, I remember Alex developing his improv skills like 5, 6 years ago. He's really got deep into jazz improvisation. He's such a talented musician.
wonderful...do you happen to know where/what he studied?
The solo is great and all but I just really love to see the interactions, people having fun while doing what they love
Mother of PEARL! that is exactly what jazz needs. Love it
Cheers mate 👍🎸🙏
You have to be one my favourite players of all time and I have played for over 30 years. Awesome, I just love the way you blend Rock with Jazz. Totally brilliant.
Thank you so much man, that means a lot 👍🙏🎸

@@lowercasepeople49 I love that description. Still with its own personality, but showing where it came from and being able to mesh in well
Boundless musicality and groovism in his playing. Improvisation at its best! Thank you for the post, Alex.
Thanks so much 👍🙏🎸
It has the spirit of both Jazz and Rock’n’roll.
Cheers mate 👍🙏🎸
this is a flex if I ever saw one. crazy solo!!!!
I dont know who are you and why are you in my recommendations but you gave me 2 minutes of pure joy. THIS IS music. The way it should be. You really feel it. Thanks a lot

Awesome.
Like always.
Master Hutchings always let me thinking and thanking.
Thanks so much 👍🙏🎸
When the distortion kicked in I was like "Chris Poland!"
You didn't forget. You played what you heard in your head. And I consider myself qualified to know that by now how the phrases were laid out. Congratulations!
The guy following you, poor bloke, many would’ve ran for the door 😅Just amazing!
Haha thank you mate... Yeah that's Gary... He's cool.... 😂 Thank you again mate. So kind of you. 👍🙏🎸
That was absolutely some of the tastiest phrasing I’ve ever heard. Honestly, the way you melted this in here is the very definition of jazz, if you ask me. God tier.
Thank you so much man much appreciated 👍🎸🙏
Love the movement as much as his playing! I wouldn't stand as long as they were and not move. ✌️
Thank you so much mate 🙏👍🎸
You know you've done good when your fellow bandmates shout and yell for you, but you know you've done REALLY good when they can't help but laugh.
Haha, thx mate. 👍🎸🙏
Hot dang! 🔥🔥🔥 that escalated nicely.
Thank you mate 👍🙏🎸
The more you forget, the more collorfull the music.
Haha. Cheers mate. 👍🙏🎸
Whet THE FLOW kicks in :D It was fantastic!
Thx man 👍🎸🙏
This ia one of the best solos I've heard you play Alex. You just keep getting better and better my friend!
You´re the kind of guitarrist that drummers want to play with, and that´s the best thing I think I could say... Cheers!
Don't care if it's Jazz or not... It's just AMAZING!!!🔥😍🔥
When you forget you're a rocker and you look at this with a huge smile on your face...👏👏👏10++++, man.
Hahaha thanks man 👍🙏🎸
You simply..KILLED IT :)
Thank you Fred 👍🙏🎸
You Marty McFly'ed them again..... bomb...love this...mooore I need more
Haha... Yeah man, classic film. Cheers, All the best 👍🙏🎸
I'm on my 10th watch of this in a row. Still dumbfounded. So good.
Goosebumps. I close my eyes and I think I hear Guthrie Govan playing... The only difference is that you have a little less hair now! Bravo! 👏👏
...and that danceing over pedals... awesome!!!
Yep that sounds to me like you went in the direction where the music took you Alex and it's a trait of the masterful musician.🔥👏🏾👌🏾
Thanks so much 👍🙏🎸
what just happened?! almost fell off my chair! brilliant
Haha. thx man 👍🙏🎸
This is totally relevant with jazz, perfect, you feel it and play it, this is it👏
Very John Scofield! Absolutely love it.
Thank you mate. I was just thinking of you… we’re playing in London Pizza express again on Friday. Wanna come? I think Dave will come along too, might ask few other people… I’ll drop u a text in a bit 👍🎸
P.s this was the gt-1000 and Roland Blues cube… I love the combo!!
What an absolute treat to listen to, first time i've seen you and absolutely blown away. Bravo!
Thanks ever so much mate. Much appreciated 👍🙏🎸
Dude can play!!!!! Sounds terrific.
Cheers bro 👍🎸🙏
We were fortunate to get tickets as the venue was sold-out. Great atmosphere and a wonderful night.
Thank you David we had a blast with you all. Until next time 👍🙏🎸
That was amazing
This is fucking amazing, incredible, outside of the box and yet sounds beatiful
THanks so much man 👍🎸🙏
Pretty insane solo, and the sheer joy on everyone's face on that stage is very enjoyable. Looks like you guys had loads of fun
Thanks so much mate. Yeah we had a great time thanks glad you enjoyed it 👍🙏🎸
I hear a bit of 70's Beck in your guitar solo's, it's nice to hear.
Your playing is happiness Alex :)
That was the craziest Ukelele I ever heard ! Kind of tickled my funny bones!!
That was insane! One of the best solos I have ever heard played on any instrument !
Wow, thanks so much man 👍🙏🎸

Simultaneously one of the funniest, fluent, and impressive solos I have heard in my life
i play the guitar for 43 years now ....

Seems to me thinking goes out the window then instinct, practise and incredible musicality takes control!
Love it
All I can say is: WOW! This is world class.

That was truly great playing. Joyful playing. Most enjoyable to listen to and watch.
Thank you man 👍🙏🎸

Haha, Glad you enjoyed it mate ! all the best 👍🙏🎸
pure instinct, i hardly noticed rationalization, i didnt feel the notes in my head, my ears... i felt them in my gut. Really nice job, its such a joy see a free man.
What an extraordinary bit of playing, Alex. Been a fan of yours for years - you’re simply incredible. All the best.
Thx so much mate 👍🙏🎸
Thx so much mate 👍🙏🎸
Wow - that is some clean playing!
So talented that it’s unfair lol
Great phrasing, so many glorious moments
Thx so much man. 👍🙏🎸
Never felt so good hearing the wrong notes outside the box. Jazz improv was superb but damm didnt expect that rock solo at the end. Great job!
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it 👍🙏🎸
Absolutely insane solo! 👏
Thank you mate. 👍🙏🎸
Oh Lord!

First to comment!!!
Thanks for stopping by man 👍🙏🎸
Aaaaandddd you lose the opportunity of write something interesting...
Mr Hutchings soloing and skiing at the same time…without snow! Yeeeeaaah!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼✌🏼✌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉😄
What a wonderful sound and great song.
You have inspired me since Guitar Heaven - Amsterdam to start playing the guitar again and to abuse the Boss Katana musically.
Wow, that's so cool. I really did enjoy that show. Thank you for coming and I'm glad you had a positive experience 👍🙏🎸
Holy shit the shred just builds and builds and it’s great every step!
Cheers mate 👍🎸🙏
That shit hits me on the spot YESSS MORE SCOFIELD LINES
Thank you mate 👍🙏🎸
Love the lick (half-whole diminished?) at the 00:59 mark ... very tasty fusion sound.
0:58 - Alex! That riff! It's delicious and beautifully played with your stellar timing, syncopation, knowledge of where it would best 'fit'. It's the kind of lick that, by the time you're done with that phrase, I'm gritting my teeth and scrunching up my face, like a 'Awww yeah, man'. If I was witnessing this performance in person, I'd have lit a fire within my palms from the amount of clapping.
"I guess you guys are just not ready for this. But your kids are gonna love it."
Have never seen anything this level at my nearby jazz spots but now I'm keeping my fingers crossed
This feels more like Primus than Primus does sometimes.
😅😂 👍🎸🙏
Just starts to slowly bend more n shred more 😂😂😂
Marty McFly, "We ain't ready for this yet." Revolutionary I tell ya.
