      @@Guitargate So glad you did a video featuring Trey. I've been listening to him for a *long* time and love what he does. His moves over changes are imitable and his picking is not just clean in the usual bluegrass picker way; Trey gets an insane level of articulation and note separation at high speed. And he plays with 13s on the box!
      Also, as a dobro player myself, Trey's work with Rob Ickes is magic.

    Michael this absolutely broke my brain but in the best way. Not sure I've seen you handle an acoustic like that! When Trey hit that part with the insane fast passage and then you just kicked it right out - plus how you took his incredibly fluid and playing and broke it down step by step. Incredible!

    The way he plays off other notes in the scale, like the 2nd degree becoming the 9th, adding a whole new layer of tension and release. It’s like he’s painting with sound, every stroke deliberate yet infused with raw, spontaneous energy. That 9th, acting as the 5th’s fifth, it’s not just a note-it’s a revelation, a hidden gem that reshapes the entire harmonic landscape. It’s as if he’s peeling back the layers of the blues itself, revealing its core and then rebuilding it right before your eyes, only to tear it down and reconstruct it again, each time more beautiful and complex than before.
    This isn’t just a guitar lesson; it’s a full-on immersion into the very essence of blues music, a deep dive into the soul of the genre that leaves you breathless and craving more. Every chord, every note, every subtle bend of a string-it’s a lesson in musical storytelling, a narrative that speaks to the heart, the mind, and the soul. Watching this unfold, my brain isn’t just working; it’s dancing, wrestling, and ultimately, celebrating the sheer brilliance of what’s unfolding. This, right here, is the pinnacle of musical mastery. And I’m just honored to have witnessed it.

  • @drothberg3
    @drothberg3 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Trey is a beast on both guitar and vocal. The most remarkable thing to me is how he keeps the flow and groove going without losing a beat or slowing down for the entire song, whether he’s playing rhythm with a light touch or incredible inventive and melodic lead with a driving force. That’s very difficult.

He also played the solo straight at the end of the solo section, like Luther did, which is cool as even though it’s simpler than everything else he did, it’s not boring and that’s him being respectful to the origins of the music

    Cool video. Just running across this channel and as a guitar player and fan of all sorts of guitar content it's interesting content. I have to say though, I was surprised you don't have any videos on Paco De Lucia. He's a monster of guitar who some of the "greats" consider one of the greatest. Anyway, would be cool to see a reaction to some of his pieces. The work he did together with al di meola, john mclaughlin and larry coryell is noteworthy as he fused his Flamenco style w/ their jazz playing in the late 70s and early 80s. It's amazing stuff.

    I recently had the opportunity to hear Trey and Rob Ickes when they opened for Tommy Emmanuel at The Cascade Theatre in Redding, CA, last March. I knew Ickes but had never heard of Trey Hensley, and I doubt many in the audience were familiar with him. We all left as major believers in his talent. His playing was impeccable, and as you point out, his vocals were amazing. Not many pickers can share a stage with Tommy and come off looking good, but Trey certainly did. My only complaint was that the volume in their opening set was simply far too loud, to the point that we couldn't actually make out the notes they were playing. Tommy's volume was perfect, but Trey and Rob's was overdriven to distortion levels. This was the common complaint in the local reviews of the show, but everyone acknowledged Trey's abilities and talent. Of course, Rob is a long-time fan favorite and a consummate pro.
