I love how you don't discriminate. You love music. And I love that! I just wish I could play like that!
Always a great way to help me understand music more!Thanks full.
Was at a music industry convention thingy in the early 90's. Friend I was with kept pestering me to see Vince (I am not a country fan). I finally gave in.
There were only 20 or 30 people in the room but he played like it was stadium. Absolutely perfect technique and amazing speed. Played a lot of rock standards and lead too.
One of the best players I have ever seen live..and I have seen: Clapton, Page, Gilmore, Beck, Gibbons et al..
Still not a country fan but respect where it is due - for all of these guys.
*Also, Earl did some great work on the Beverly Hillbillies and the Andy Grifith show you might want to check out.Great stuff as usual Fil.
Rock!
Ah, shit. You are amazing. You are making this old, jaded guy appreciate music he doesn't usually like.
You're a wonder, mate. You find the good wherever it lies. So many of us forget how to do that. Keep doing what you do.
It's amazing how these instruments don't burst into flames.
Given the TINY total population of Britain compared to the United States, the British gave/gives us an incredible amount of guitar genius. Having said that, thanks Fil, for repeatedly recognizing the great American country string players, who on most occasions exceed the talents of many of the "rock" Gods. He wasn't in this one, but your appreciation of Glen Campbell showed me you know the REAL talent. Love your analysis and your own talents.
Incredible seeing all of these musicians on one stage! You could easily talk about them for several hours. It’s so cool to see your enthusiasm as well-like a kid in a candy store!
Wow that was amazing all those legendary players, just outstanding thanks for analyzing.
That’s a stage full of talent. Vince is so versatile and I have always thought Steve Wariner is underrated. I have watched this video many times. Thanks, Fil, for your insight. Hurry back❣️
Chet Atkins named four people as Certified Guitar Players, John Knowles, Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed and Steve Wariner.
@@EclecticHillbilly Tommy Emmanuel`s brother Phil was also an amazing guitarist!
Almost head spinning !! Vince Gill and Steve Wainer are in the 'double the difficulty' by being great players AND singers,
That was simply crazy to have all these great musicians on one stage. Thanks for the attention to it Fil.
All these guitarist are so gifted in their playing it’s incredible! Beautiful clean tones played with such clarity! WOW! I saw Vince Gill earlier this year with Eagles......he’s sensational! Thanks Fil....Awesome! Cheers Mario! 😀👌🤘
I honestly did not know Dwayne Eddie was an instrumentalist! That being said seeing the respect in Fil's face watching this shows how good these guy's really are.
Loved seeing Leon Russell!! Very under appreciated by many but he was a solid player and singer.
Jeff S Under Appreciated? Hardly.
@@sealisa1398 Perhaps a better word may be unmentioned among his peers at of the same time? My only point is his name does not come up as often and Joe Cocker, Harry Nilson, etc. No knock at all on Leon...I always was a fan, but he just didn't get the "press" as much as some others. He played with a lot of groups and on his own and was much in demand for groups like this one.
Hank Wilson's Back. Even my Rock Head brothers loved that album.
Wingman I love the respect you give to all these talented players, you are a class act.
Thanks!
Your little face, can't stop smiling can you. You're really enjoying this vid! Proper cheered me up, you have ❤
Incredible! I never will understand who give a thumbs down on something wonderful like this.
A brood of chicken pickers!! A monster mash of amazing players and a fantastic performance🤘🏻all those players soloing; a nightmare for the sound man🤯
Man, I would give up some stuff to be able to play like these guys. They are playing so clean. Great review of these guys. Jerry Reed was on that list. I loved his storytelling while playing guitar.
The country music is a fantastic musical genre and when is played by awesome musicians is second to none. Very good analysis Fil.
Hi Fi. It is June 3, 2021 and I am watching this again. It is one of my favorite videos.
Thanks Fil for your analyses of all different types of music, as it helps to appreciate the talent of all these individuals and bands even more., especially explaining the difficulty degree to people who can't play an instrument. I'd like to see you talk about the one of the most popular groups nobody has heard of. The Buckinghams, who had a big 1967, with a smooth lead singer in Dennis Tufano, and that Brassy Chicago sound, with some Blue Eyed soul mixed in.
As a kid I always knew Chet as Mr Guitar. RIP Randy. My wife's cousin and thereby my cousin played keyboard all his life in bands. Southlander was his last band. Confederate Railroad wanted to hire him but by then he was getting sick . Passed Christmas 2017. Then my wife passed after Christmas 2018 and her mom Christmas 2018..sucks.
"Conveyor belt of notes"...love it.
This is so far=out! You came across like a kid in a candy shop with all those legendary pickers up on stage. great analysis as always. thanks for this one Fil.
This kind of playing is a lost art. Thanks for sharing with us Fil
Another great review Fil. I sent it to a friend of mine who plays in three bands including bluegrass, fiddle, bass and lead guitar. Request: I noticed you started off with Vince Gill. I wish you could do some reviews on Eric Clapton's crossroads concerts. Some of the best musicians ever to be together were at many of the Eric Clapton crossroads concerts series. Please do a few reviews on Eric Clapton crossroads concerts. I'd really appreciate it fil 👍. Rock!
Another great video and commentary Fil! The depth and breadth of your insight both technical and other aspects is fascinating.
Play it, boy (and girl)! What a feast!
Back in the mid '70s Earl was touring with his sons, and I got to see them perform at a campus bar. I was at a front table, about 10 feet away from him and it was an amazing night. Not only was the music top rate, but in that close environment full of people on a summer evening, he stood there and picked for 2 hours straight and never broke a sweat!
Chet Atkins very legendary, but Vince Gill has ben guitar guy I've seen in several spots where he just hammers it, nails that picking style. Plus he has a great voice. Dude can play though.
WOW!!!!! Steve Wariner is probably the most underrated guitarist in Nashville, yet he was one of the BEST!!!!!!
Thank You so much for Your Brilliant Music Videos Sir! Your Love of music, accurateness of documenting (many) enormous contributions artist's have made to music (Yet, are rarely heralded) has earned the respect of music lovers (& fellow musicians) who recognize You as a brilliant, authorative spokesman for music fans, & a hero, & champion of famous, (& starving) musicians, everywhere! 🌎👍
We can't put pictures here, but if we could, I'd put a heart.
I was amazed at the talent, and you do a great job of putting the history behind the playing. Waiting for your next video already.
Your analysis videos are the best! Such a great mix of artist history & significance and technical explanations. Your channel is consistently awesome!
Bluegrass guys can definitely tear it up. I remember an episode of The Andy Griffith Show where they had Earl Scruggs as a guest musician where he proceeded to rip some stuff on a banjo and then hit some harmonics and then - bend the neck. Later on it was considered 'modern' when Randy Rhoads (RIP) and others used to do it on Les Paul's with stacks and this was back in the Fifties. You got a great channel.
Leon Russell story - was at BB King show @ BB King Nashville. This big guy wearing a white suit and long white hair sat in front of us and Blocked hubby's view so loud mouth say - "hey dude can y'all move to the side so we can see too? - The guy gets up and it was Leon who turned bowed and says - Anything for you darlin - Southern gentleman -- (won't go into shoving Jack White out of the way because he was hogging the area you could actually see BB's technique)
Love this!!! Great analysis. Learned a lot!
Them Country Gents, some were probably raised on a farm, you can find them hunting and fishing doin chores. Those guys are Humble and when they start to pick you know they're special. They're the Sheriff's and Rangers that keep you in line.
Thanks Fil. 👍✌️
Fil you said "Conveyor Belt"😃 Fil Those guys obviously are great players and actually I consider them Shredders. Fil, I've Recently have gotten into chicken pickin. I ordered my 1st Fender Telecaster from Sweetwater today..what a trip. I have a Gibson Les Paul, Fender stratocaster and now I will be adding the Fender Telecaster. I consider that the Holy Trinity. 🙂 That was great Fil. That was a Ace analysis's.🤙
I drive past Sweetwater every now and then when I go through Fort Wayne Indiana. Enjoy your new tele.
@@vintagestrings6 Well Thank you Good Sir, I appreciate that. You have yourself a nice Independence Day & 🤙
@@onthe1481 Thank you. 👍✌️
stellar work, through competence, civility, and enthusiastic pleasure
WOW! that was a lot of fun! and THANK YOU for mentioning Leon Russell! ...one of my old favorites! CHEERS! ☮️
Absolutely fantastic!!! There is nothing else I can say thank you.
Cool, nice look at all these players, ty Fil.
They sure look like they are having fun. It’s fun to listen to it!
Thanks Fil another great video. That's a group of legends and the ones who aren't legends can hold their own with the legends. Wow what a performance.
Well you have gone & done it, I'm in love with guitars now! But if I could play I would play the piano. You my sir are inspiring!😚🤗
Come on in boys, the water's fine! Thanks Fil! Peace! 🤘
I’d forgotten that Vince Gill plays the mandolin!
I absolutely love your videos! This is a Favorite!
This is my favorite video just brilliant talent and your commentary.
Thanks!
That was fantastic, SO much talent on one stage!
What a Gem! Thanks for sharing this Awesomeness!
When I was a young man gigging around the Canadian west coast country scene we would often have Sunday afternoon jam sessions. We didn't have the famous names but it was great music.. Everyone sharing the stage and taking their leads. We used to call it 'picking and a grinning'.. Our gigs were 4 hours a night and we would play 2 to 4 nights a week...
Sadly, these days have all become distant memories but were great fun..
Vince Gill and Albert Lee at the Crossroads concerts are well worth a notable mention..
Keep on Chooglin.. 🎸
Took me a while to listen and be interested in guitar/banjo/piano again.... (played for 37 years..)... after I suffered paralysis from c5 c6 c7 (from the neck down) I had an op to stop it going completely ... so I can walk... but have lost a lot of feelings.... especially in my fingers.... But I'm forcing myself to play differently.... and I've got to an exceptable level...and can enjoy it again....
You helped me to appreciate the guitar again with your enthusiasm and interest....
May you carry on what you are doing!
All the best!.....
Awesome review! Nothing like going to a great Bluegrass festival and hearing them live!! Have had the pleasure of seeing Earl, Doc, and the greats! 👍👍👍
Awesome video,it featured many of the picking greats.
Living in Nashville, where this was recorded...we become so use to the great musicians that sometimes leave us before we can truly appreciate them for all their talent! Thank you for highlighting some of the worlds greatest musicians...on behalf of a hometown boy...."ya'll" :-)
Legendary hardly even describes it. I love the way they each get a spot in the sun.
Love this. I grew up on the borders of Nashville, so country and bluegrass was all O knew until I got old enough to have my own little radio. We even went to school with the children of many of the original country and bluegrass stars. Back then, they all lived the same as anyone else. Lol only Leon Russell can ‘pick’ a piano. Now that is talent.
You are a great teacher !
Absolutely Fil, in their prime years Chet Atkins & Earl Scruggs took a back seat to no man or woman on earth in the field of music. I will add that Vince Gill is such a nice guy that it makes me proud that he's from Oklahoma. We don't have a lot of greats, but the ones we do have are special.
Don't forget to mention the other half of the Earl Scruggs team, Lester Flatt!!!
Chet was came out of the womb playing a six string.
@@robertproctor7771 That is true but Chet Atkins wouldn't be the Chet Atkins we know without Merle Travis!!!
@@kevdean9967 ] I was just being a little funny when I had said that. But I have read some on Chet Atkins life. He was much of a RECLUSE in his life. NO one made Chet who he became in life but Chet himself.Enjoy Yourself
This video makes me feel like I died and went to heaven! Wow! Thank you for this and your enthusiasm! Also thanks for talking about Leon Russel. I have to watch this at least 20 times!
Tons of talent up there.
Wow Fil! I grew up in So. cal San Fernando Valley and my parents took me back to the Grand Ole Opry every summer until I refused to go Ha Ha! They both grew up in Nashville. This brings back great memories! A pickin and a grinning. 🤘😻❤️
Saw Steve Wariner at the Grand ole Opry early 2000's. He was introducing his band and when he introduced Jimmy his fiddle player the girls went absolutely nuts. "Oh Jimmy"! He kept the brim of his hat low, but probably used to it.
Leon played guitar with Joe Cocker before he was joe's keyboard player . Leon was such a great song writer , that his somgs would become standards .
Dave Brown Yes indeed. He had great commercial success in the 70s and who could forget Youngblood from the Bangladesh Concert? A legend in my world.
My first concert movie was "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" with Joe Cocker and Leon Russell, along with many other fine musicians such as Carl Radle (bass), Chris Stainton (keys), Jim Gordon (drums), Jim Keltner (drums), Bobby Keys, Sax), Jim Price (Trumpet), Rita Coolidge (vocals), among many others.
Pickers are a rare bread I love it!
Thanks for going back to the greats!
OLD SCHOOL
Picking & a Grinning. I thank thee for all you do...
That was some mighty fine picking.🤘
They were picking & you were grinning. 👍👍
Good one! Very inspiring guitar players, here... Watching your growing beard , I bet the next one will be a ZZ Top analysis...Or cover. Thank you Fil.
Excellent!
Love this analysis Sir Fil! Would love for you to do a video of Steve Wariner, such a great player.
This guy knows the business ... As a songwriter, I love his critiques !!!
Thanks!
What a lineup!!
I saw Randy Scruggs live (with The Earl Scruggs Revue) and he was stunning. The only guitar player I have heard who could get electric guitar sounds from an acoustic.
What a great jam!
Really liked that!
Thank you so much for showing this great performance by these legends!
Just saw Michael Katon at a coffee house, and was blown away by his incredible slide playing . He plays delta boogie music from hell, and actually lives in Hell (Michigan). Working on his 18th album at his home studio, and plays mostly in Europe. His concert footage is fantastic.Check him out!
Hei FiL now ain't that something, what a coincidence, n a pleasant surprise brah, i was sittin here watchin this all star performance wen your note done flashed on the screen, LoL mate, the "conveyor belt" of performers was super world class standard, so i thought why not keep the revolving door of players moving n hear your comments. I was very impressed wit Anita this is the 1st time i ever seen or heard her play. Cheers Fil thanks 4the note n upload.
A bit of excellence. Thanks. Nice video to watch even if its not your normal type of tune. 🤘🏼
Very exceptional!!!
What a round up of SUPER GUITARISTS! The Best With The Best!! Enjoyed this video of great talent, and your In Depth Analysis! \M/
So many tremendous artists in one place. The only downside is the four artists who have passed away. Randy and Earl Scruggs, Chet Atkins and Leon Russell. Gone but not forgotten but certainly irreplaceable.
Thanks Paula!
@@wingsofpegasus You're welcome!
When I was a younger guy I played blues harmonica I had a belt that had every key of blues heart known to man and a chromatic on each side I used to play in bars around town just as a novelty but I had a friend that I worked with that was a session violin player and he used to make quite a bit of money on the side and he tried and tried and tried to get me to sign up to make myself available for harmonica playing because he said he never heard anyone play harmonica like me and I didn't do it I was too scared I was really self-conscious I hate to have a two or three pints in me before I would loose enough to blow the blues harp. It started out where I sat down and I got a Marine band harmonica I don't even remember where I got it but I taught myself how to play the harmonica piece from whammer jammer that magic dick part and I finally figured it out and once I figured out how to make those sounds I could play any blues that I could put in my head so easy once you figure out how to make that sound chromatic was a little more complicated to learn but after while you catch on and are able to do miraculous things with the chromatic harmonica. So at any rate I really missed out on a lot I could have made a few bucks and had a lot of fun and my fear of not being good enough kept me down the thing is everywhere I went people thought I was the best harmonica player that ever lived. I didn't think so but they did because I found it easy to play blues harp once I figured out how to bend the notes right and once I understood the blues format for lack of a better word where you could start at one point play some amount and then create a little turnaround to get out of it and let the next guy go. But it was easy I thought and I didn't think I was worthy of getting paid to do something like that
Good stuff Fil I like the bluegrass music. Put more of it in.
Fil,, the one song I'm dying here you cover is Al Stewart's Year of the Cat! Perfect for your voice and you have the guitar skills!
Anybody gonna comment about the "Manscaped" commercial? Surprised not to see Albert Lee; maybe he had a gig somewhere else.
This is awesome! Can you imagine the collectors value on those documented instruments?
Unbelievable amount of talent on that stage Wow! Really impressive ! And sounds so fine ! Thanks for a great analysis!
(Interesting you mention alternative picking as my instructor is trying to teach me that technique!! It’s not easy( just my two cents) )
Top talent of country artists! Heard about all of them thru the years. Anita Cochran, don't know about her, but I love what she was playing on the Telecaster! Have to check out her discography! Thanks! Great showcase of musicians!
she's been off the scene for a little while after her about with breast cancer but she's on the mend since last year..
when she moved to Nashville in 1997 there along with Terri Clark and a few other she really lit up the women pickers stage
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!
How about one on Nokie Edwards of The Ventures ?
Love it! Great to see Steve Wariner get some recognition, very underrated player! His song Telekinesis is mind blowing
Incredible analysis. Yes you could’ve talked another hour non-stop, there was that much talent on stage. But you said quite a bit in such a short time. Thank you for your superior on the fly word selection ability. You presented so much information that my mind was buzzing. I love it when these pickers have these sessions. I think someday the future will look into the past and marvel at the sheer amount of stellar picking artistry that we somewhat take for granted. I listen to the “new” forms of the different music genres and I can already tell there’s a degradation of the keen guitar playing that we’ve had from say 1950 until maybe five years ago. There are still master players, but not as deep in numbers as we’ve known. I could be wrong.
That's a Gibson Advanced Jumbo (AJ) Randi plays (on the right in my pic)... great guitar with a very interesting story over the years (mine is a reissue made in 1991) several years later they began production models after more than 80 years, but slow sales have them back to Custom Shop orders only today...
a lot of these guys were invited to at least one (some multiple) of Eric Claptons "Crossroads Guitar Festivals"
started 20 years ago
if you get the chance, you should watch all of the DVD's, they are incredible shows with all the top guitar players of multiple genres.
And multiple eras
I think there's a new one some time this year back in Dallas, where Eric held the very first one in 1999
Great video of music masters.
So not my cup of tea, BUT they were jamming and having fun. They were good together! ❤️🇺🇸💙
Happy 4th Fil! ✌️😘
Thanks Ree!
It sounded to me that Chet Atkins had an audio problem it wasn't that he was low in the mix well he was low in the mix before they centered on him but it took a few good 5 seconds before they got the sound right on him play it back to yourself you can hear it pretty clearly
