Bringing joy to others through your artistry. What more can one ask for? RIP Wilko.
Amazing technique RIP. we share the same name , best wishes Stephen Marsh “ synchronicity”
@@SGM805 You too🖖
Lovely bloke, phenomenal presence, guitar genius. RIP Wilko.
Very true. One or the other is always good but Wilko had it all.
Been playing guitar for years. What makes a guitarist great is finding your own unique technique and honing it to perfection. Nobody sounds quite like Wilko; in a very good way. He was an extremely warm and likeable human being with it. That's how legends are made. RIP, Wilko, you will be greatly missed by many and never forgotten.
Such a nice, unassuming guy. I was blown away when I heard that he had overcome his cancer. Keep it up, Wilko!
He will go down in history as a major and now we only have minors RIP
He's so humble about his ability. Such a great guy.
rip Wilko ....... a national treasure ......
Rest in peace my friend 😭🙏🕊️🙏🕊️
I've never seen him play, and it looked like he had no idea how to play a guitar, but that sound sets the record straight. That was amazing.
Watching this video brings me to tears! Not just tears of sadness that he has departed this World but also tears of joy as to what a wonderful innovative guitarist he was!
Thanks Wilko - a master at your craft, you gave so much joy and excitement. RIP.
Wilko is a hero. What a great sound.
Always late to a party. I echo the lovely comments about Wilko. May great pleasures be enjoyed on your journeys Wilko
RIP Wilko. Top bloke. X
He inspired me 43 years ago when I started to play guitar ,he still does !
Brilliant guitarist, modest guy, thanks for the memories.
It was always a huge treat to pop into my local on the way home from work ( The Railway) & have a chat with Wilko & Henry before i went home for dinner, it was also brilliant that Wilko often jumped up & jammed with other local musicians ( sometimes on a sunday) , the fact that Landlady Fiona played drums with Wilco in the pub on her wedding day too... Such awesome memories. Xx
Brilliant brilliant, what a guy, RIP, you will be sorely missed.
RIP...Wilko...such a humble guy.
Wilko, what a fantastic man and brilliant musician.

Hm, lemme shoot myself in the kneecap then, might turn to a dragon!
@@Fuck_handles Somehow I have the feeling that Wilco would have liked your comment.
Only really learned of Wilko from the collaboration he did with Roger Daltrey. Being in the States, I guess that's part of it. However, Roger was 100% right. Wilko is the real deal. Was a unique, talented, and quality musician and songwriter. Rest easy, Wilko. Thank you for your music that will always be out in the universe.
The first three Dr Feelgood albums showed his guitar sound at its snarliest. He had a bloody lovely tone through the HH IC100 he had back then.
RIP Wilko, may heaven rock with unique style.
Wilko.What a lovely chap!
cuando oigo a Wilko hablar me pregunto de que estan hechas las verdaderas estrellas, y me respondo q de humildad , por eso brillan tanto.
Wilko was a wonderful human being
Pure talent ! and highly respected by his fellow musicians !
A true legend RIP Wilko 🙏🏻
Such a legend. Sweet, funny and so talented.
Vastly underated guitartist....
true legend
Back of my bald head at 1:06. A great afternoon at Maida Vale in the presence of a great guy
I discovered all these guys just from watching Wilko play. I was struck by how much music was coming out of this guy I'd never heard of...then I read the bio's and all the contemporaries and bought their music...long after their most popular years.
A wonderful talent an such a down to earth good person. Inspired many guitarists. RiP Wilko. Cool as penguin piss whilst playing.
Goodnight Sir.
What a lovely bloke he was and a better player than many people realise.
Wilko is my guitar hero
A great guitarist a fabulous bloke and an absolute legend. RIP Wilko
RIP you master of the guitar.
1st Live concert I went to, was DR Feelgood , in the Glasgow Apollo in 1975. Wilko memorised me , the way he he could add a lick, while doing that constant strum ! At the time I was a roady for my pal Billy Rankin, and he had an H+H IC 100w combo . years later I bought one.................I sleep easy now :)
stewart mcnaughton " Wilko memorised me" So you're saying he'll never forget you? Cool! :P
('Mesmerized' I'm thinking. :D )
Ha :)
RIP ❤
Absolutely bloody magic ;)
RIP Wilko 😔
Wilko is a genius , he says its easy but its not, he's a great guitarist !
I discovered Dr. Feelgood thanks to Julien Temple's documentary _"Oil City Confidential"._
Wilko and the gang were a huge part of me growing up.
R.I.P legend. You will be missed.
He is a solid player; no doubt about it.
Deceptively difficult style...he might only play 3 or 4 chords, by his own admission, but to get that wonderful percussive style to groove like he does...😲
Rock In Paradise Wilko !
Such a nice guy... a true superstar. He so on plays down his ability...
Brilliant guitar style, brilliantly explained.
Simple but not easy. Wilko's style is unique!
Absolutely not easy to play like him.
amazing!
RIP mate! xxxxx
Sad that he’s gone
That is the beauty of electric guitar - you can tell who is playing just by listening. Each guitarist has his/her own fingerprint/style.
It's a great technique, one that SRV took to a whole new level.
Great man
RIP Wilko...gigging in the sky..
Absolute legend.
A guitar hero and a gentleman!!
Man... memories of him playing in the Boxing Club in Drogheda... great gigs...
Amazing.... legend
nice down to earth guy
Legend.
Sounds good 👍
It's always like that, you try to play like your hero but you end up creating your own style and it become your trademark.
Brilliant guitarist, fantastic live, Wilko and Norman were awesome as was Dr Feelgood.
awesome
God Bless him! dx
The great Wilko. Rip
Unique Guitarrist..!
And now Wilko's gone to join the other guitar heroes...
Jimi Hendrix and Wilko will start a brilliant band
@@MpanzuSolos Don't forget about Van Halen! Rock'n Roll is losing icons way too fast.
@@gonzalot.605 and David Bowie. Its sad
God! I knew it was so easy. RIP Wilco.
Every day is a day of learning every day 😇when you play a guitar
Seen Dr Feelgood many times as they played a lot locally and always a fantastic night and I am more at home with Rancid, Offspring etc. I also saw WJ live as a solo artist at a much smaller venue when he told the audience he had been given less than a year to live. That was 10 years ago. Nice geezer.
I can do the eight-in-a-bar stabs and muting thing without too much trouble...it's putting the licks in that's the tricky bit...I think Wilko was being very modest about his abilities...
RIP Wiiko.. You got me thinking.
Fucking brilliant!
RIP hero!
looks fun too
Love’im!!
Great player. Tele hero.
What a badass
Out of interest, can anyone tell me the name of the interviewer? I couldn't find it anywhere in the description.
I was sad to hear of Wilco's passing, such a lovely bloke, I thought he was over the cancer and would go on for many years to come. I remember watching a documentary years ago, by long time Dr Feelgood fan and BBC DJ, Mark Radcliffe, and thinking how rare and nice it was that Wilco was so loyal to his late wife's memory. Nice that he found someone during his lifetime to share that depth of feeling with, rather than the rock n roll cliché.
I've always wanted to learn that deceptively easy/difficult Roxette riff...
Note to self: keep practicing from 1:52 to get quick enough to play it through, not as easy as he makes it look, for an amateur like me anyway!
it's a strange phenomenon - why is Wilko such a charming, charismatic, lovable guy? Even my French friend who can't understand his English say "ah lurve zis personne !!"
Great guy....Simple technique but effective....'Nuff said.
Фантастический музыкант❗
I still play the way he started out. Left handed but I play a stock right handed guitar without reversing the strings. Albert King played in the same way. I works for me!
Otis Rush, Lefty Dizz, and Bill Doggett's sometime guitarist Bill Jennings all found it quite successful, too!
Miss im😢
I'm a lefty guitarist. There are quite a few great players who are lefty but play righty. Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore are 2 I can think of right now.
love the originals over the virtuoso's
this man
john marr
paul brady in folk
gary moore
nanci griffith in country
they all have their own sound and style
Guitar Legend. You can keep your shredding and fancy jazz licks...
Holy scrap this guy made a major advancement to right hand technique. This dude is big friggen deal.
Roger! Willco. Over.
Jesus we miss him,where’s the new music.
as easy as it seems because its not alot of notes its really really hard to get down
Dr Feelgood - Live At Southend Kursaal (15 minutes of magic in the 4 songs): th-cam.com/video/GzF0AETdRF8/w-d-xo.html
John Malkovich everyone?
Incredible man 😢
Is that Chris Tarrant sitting next to wilco
Nope
