He's always nailed that SRV Texas style blues.
when he first came out, he played with with 12's. Just like when Stevie at first played 13's. When Renee Martinez started being Stevie's tech, he switched Stevie to 11's because his hands were getting chewed up.
It's so funny every time I hear him riffing around he always seems to play something out of "While We Cry" which just so happens to be in my opinion one of the best guitar instrumentals ever. Every guitarist has that Idol guitarist that just does it for them and he is definitely mine. When I hear him play I'm constantly thinking damn it why didn't I think of that LOL
Have mercy! Who can complain about that demo and his playing? Strings sound great ... But, I want to know what the dickens he was playing through. That's a great sounding amp.
What I was thinking... tone for days!!! kept hoping they'd pan over to it... sure was sweet though...
+Tonetwisters If you know what to look for here, you'll see the fraud straight up. The Cobalts are grey blue in color. Different than the others. Now, look at KW's strings close as you can and you will notice that only the six is a Cobalt. Really. I actually did that too. I strung up my 6 and left Slinkys on the other five. The appearance difference is totally noticable. So, it really looks like he's playing with just the 6 being the cobalt. Just look.
Guessing one of his stage blackface fenders.most are modified by Dumble. maybe through a tube screamer or just the amp cranked.
Hi I just want to say that for me i Love these strings they sound amazing "for me" I play classic rock and blues however these strings are not for everyone they take a little getting used to but I'm my opinion they are the best out there
Awesome,love the sound of these strings!
Yes, they are very good and lounder, love them.
I love the bass strings for their sustain.
Man i love kennys srv style of playing!
Buying Super Slinky Cobalts today due to all the great reviews...
Awesome
He clearly meant to say 48 and not 58 on the low E . That would be a 5 gauge jump from the standard 48-50's that are on the Cobalt Power Slinkys. Great tone though and definitely nice and heavy & punchy. Love em and plan and switching from GHS from here on out.
i was just gonna say, it sounds just like the man!
sounds a little harsh .. but there is something good about them .
Nice!!!!!
He makes that strat sing
Class act and great player
great demo Kenny !
These strings feel "weird", like Steve Vai said. But I quickly decided how much I like them. Maybe it's just because a change from the norm is more interesting. But, I don't think they are better OR worse, just different from regular strings. After compensating for the different tone of these strings on your amp, and adjusting playing style (attack, touch dynamics), I think they sound very rich, warm and alive.
what amp is he using? tone is killer...
Anyone know what amplifier and effects he uses section?
Tone is simply amazing!
anyone know what song this is? the one he plays at the beginning. it sounds extremely familiar
Hideaway
not a song he was just jamming
what amp and effects do you use in this demo?
My notes (especially high notes) have an issue with sustaining the sound, will these strings help improve this?
Maybe... But your guitar should be able to sustain without these strings. Maybe it's because of your guitar(wood)? Old strings? Bad amp?
I'm using a Fender Stratocaster from 63', with new Ernie Ball strings.. Same problem with D'darrio ones
TimmehTRP Get a setup, get them to check the neck.
There it goes again " I use heavy gauge strings everyone "
is it a myth or is true about the cobalt strings can get bended easier than other strings? If that is true then you could use the cobalt on the plain upper strings
or is that cobalt stuff in the wrapped strings only?
so much SRVish tone
@beefhasslehoof... you realize that one day people will be saying that someone can't touch KWS. SRV was criticized for sounding like Jimi when he was starting out. Catch KWS in concert then get back to us about how good you think he is!
lol it's already starting to happen. Especially since he's really broken away on his last few albums. "Like wow, this guy has amazing untouchable technique."
Self correction, turns out he used Cobalt Power Slinky 7 string packs and eliminates the 48
I would love to see some wound 3rd cobalts
Do they come in 8 - 38 gauge?
To jest monster do Akustyka anie do elktryka to elktryka jest ROCK I CLASSIC PERFOMER anie Acustic
Awesome! I wonder if he listens to Stevie Ray Vaughan ;)
good
You can tell he has new strings on.
No he uses a 58 on the low string
Oh Hello Stevie Ray....I mean Kenny
Usa or Mexico ?
Mexico
Made in the USA!!!
Someone's feathers ruffles easily. Anyhow, I retracted that comment after he told me specifically what he uses ya mook.
So does that mean they are coming out with more gauges......58, 13 etc? Lol! Please
Maybe he did mean 58... Some guitarists play custom gauges, some make there own custom gauges. Not everybody plays stock gauges given to us... It's called "experimentation".
John Mayer speaking voice
Interesting thing is that he would most likely still sound great even with the most worn out strings in the world!
lol ya I wonder haha :)
I kinda dont agree. And ill be honest i play the blues very similar style to what kws does. But i do not like these strings. He has enough money to change them everyday. They dont last if played everyday and especially not for more than one gig. They feel like rust the next day and are dead.
Why does Kenny have a big cross on his guitar ? Has he become a believer in bullshit fairy tales ?
top kek xdxdd
Athiests are the Vegans of the religious world
How the fuck have we come from viewing these strings ,, to talking about vegans for fuck sake???
roger flame this is the internet.
Good player, but not a big fan of the copycat SRV style. Bring on the hate
Joshua Robinson Seems like you came here looking for trouble lol....
If you like his playing then you should listen to his cd’s. A good proportion of his songs do not really sound like srv at all. Although I love srv’s tunes and style, I think kenny does so much more with adding so much more by bringing in a tone of variety. Blues, rock, country, and more. Here in this video he only showcased a tiny bit of his style. Later ;-)
Dirk Van Stralen Just what I thought
Dude a lot of people also said about Stevie , that he copies Alberk King,,, but he's not,,, Kenny is a huge SRV fan, and was heavily influenced by him, like Stevie was by Albert King
I didn’t like the cobalt strings at all. They felt like total shit.
Suck, don't buy
completely agree. For a fender they lack top end definition compressing the sound to metallic rattle and woolly punch. Sure they are easy to play but it comes at the cost of string tension and consequently relevant highs, which, no you can't just compensate for with some stupid eq device. I really think they would be better suited for buckers, if what you are looking for is punch, sustain and easy bending, but if you've got a good single coil guitar which deserves proper definition in and of itself, fuck the cobalts. I've been a happy ernie ball player for years, they are real dynamic and live strings, but those dynamics already come with a loss of high end tightness. I love that acoustic feel they have, but for a singing long note tha does not drop off I'd go with the GHS actually. Recent discovery. They don't have those dynamics, but they sure cut and sing. Cobalts - if you are mostly doing humbucker, low resistance, metal type playing, favouring ease of movement and sustain over tone I guess they are fine. I have a real instrument and I don't like them,
