Sammy is smoking. Been listening to this young man for a couple of years and chatted a bit via YT and he is the real deal and a true gentlemen. He rocks and is going to be a top dog in the guitar world soon. Most amazing vibrato I've heard in a long time. Most young players lack this skill but Sam has it down cold.
Mike
This piece definetly has a Gary Moore flavor. Sounds great!
Amazing guitarist, I love the full fledged vibrato and bends. Great Whammy Harmonics and nice feeling!
Insane tone! holy sh*t it's pure taste!
a man of discipline and integrity
Wow, this is awesome. Amazing tone
So wicked ,,,Love
Sam, this is awesome. you play with so much feeling. I wish you were in my band. I wish I had your hands, keep on Jammin........
really nice solo!
Love the faces
Very Good!!!
Awesome Sam, everyone else seems to be following your going places man smash it brother !!!
Great playing and a spectaculer tone!
it's very hard to concentrate on music when i'm looking at him, but he's really good
nope, it's a charvel guitar, if you were asking about the brand. :)
Surely time now for more of this style from Sam.
Apologies for the "short" comment!!!!!!!!
Fantastic (previous) comments, that should be made into a book!
that tone, that articulation, that flawless technique. Probably one of the best guitarists on youtube. Good job man! Fuckin'awesome!
Really good vibrato. I want to 'eat' that guitar sound!
Do you make the same faces when you play smoke on the water?
very soulful playing :). What kind of axe is that?
@BTXXXXXXX Definitely a Charvel, looks like a So-Cal model. I want one .
Merci.
Killer.
I love the faces he makes
GREAT TONE DUDE! gears?
How's the tuning stability of this guitar?
DuartChannel very good
NEW GARY MOORE!! nicee
whats the model of the guitar ?
Excelente amigo, donde puedo conseguir ese Backing Track, gracias
FUCKING AMAZING!!
stop looking at his face if you only laugh about it, it's just an expression of epic guitar playing lol
Adrian Smith?
Bach's compositions weren't known in his time, he was only known as an organist. His compositional works were only given merit in the 19th century.
I agree with you about the nostalgia.
But unless you have a time machine you or anyone will never really have any idea on what the people of the future will think, or even know about Coltrane, or Skrillex for that matter. Who knows. Maybe Skrillex's work will have much more of an impact on western popular music in the long term.
I think the point of these jam track examples is just to demonstrate what a good player can do with them. I believe the title simply gives you an idea what the style of the backing track is. It doesn't mean the player is trying to sound like whoever's name is in the title. Personally, I don't see the point in listening to someone imitate someone else; we can listen to the original. Besides, Sam's far better than Clapton or Gilmour.
0.15 - 0.19 - so nice)
Lol I completely agree with you other than you saying this little tike is better than Clapton or Gilmour. No ones better than anyone, it's all art to me. Personally I like this guy more than Clapton, but Gilmour? No way. Gilmour is God. :D
@Elodius2 haha..you !! :D
I partially agree, but think you go too far. Like wine, there's personal preference involved, but a vast array of true quality levels, from junk to superb. The world's full of people that take their opinions from experts, those who just like what makes them feel good, and the minority who actually can discern quality. If you doubt that, consider this: Kiss has more fans than Coltrane, Stravinsky, and Charlie Parker combined.
think the title misleads many, should be Moore moody, damn fine playing
That was was tasty shit.
I think that you would agree now days the majority of fans of Coltrane,Stravinsky and Parker are artists,musicians and intellectuals. One of the reasons music like this will never have as many fans as Lady Gaga? There are far more people in this world who don't fit into those 3 categories. Does that mean they can't "discern quality"? No. Of course not, because "quality" is only an opinion. Do they have less of an opinion not for not liking 50 year old music? OF COURSE NOT, just a different one.
Pickups good
@phillebeau charvel so cal usa production series...
You didnt understand me, I say very good but SOMETHIMES he must change the tempo, and play a litlle more fast...
@studiopen Probably older than he looks. Don't judge.
Coulson used to use Laney??? Damn what happened? Not that ENGL is a bad amp but i prefer the laney's tone
Your comparing apples to oranges. Like I said quality is only opinion. An experts opinion on quality might hold more weight to more people, but it will always be an opinion, most likely a response to the expert opinions hes been taught by older experts. etc etc. "True quality levels" only apply to technique in music. It is an ARTFORM and can take many FORMS which link together in many ways, but never can be compared to see whom is "better" only what is different between them.
@Elodius2 high five
Garry Moore is not dead though ;-)
waw
Sounds exactly like "Bivalve Blues" by Paul Gilbert.
Lol, he might be afraid of getting the hate guthrie does on some of his videos! 'TOO FAST NO FEELING'. It would be funny if Sams next video was supersonic shredding and then ppl say 'TOO FAST' then he slows down 'TOO SLOW', 'TOO FAST' 'TOO SLOW'. Oh yeah and 'TOO LITTLE FEELING', then they go to alex hutchings and say 'TOO MUCH FEELING' lol I don't think youtube will ever change, people don't realize that instead of telling players what to do, they should give an example in their own video lol
guys got a touch of Steve Vai about him
facial expression is better than guitar😃 nice guitar man
Foda!!!!
LOL, it is impossible to verbalize without training. Example: it is sad to me that I didn't hear Mozart's Requiem until I was nearly 20. One man taking sound and carving it with a knife so that it oozed death, sadness, regret, and hope. Through only intervals and Harmony. An amazing skill.
There are countless masters of it through the ages. I hate to see kids waste their time with the "cheap thrills" they get from Pop/Rap. There are far more evolved works and the schools stopped teaching it.
more like bonamassa
You hit on something big; the lack of musical education. That situation has allowed music to flourish that is played by people that wouldn't know the difference between a major scale and box of rocks. They and their audience can be forgiven for the ignorance, but their "musical" opinions should be taken with a grain of salt, since as you put it, those opinions are based on blissful ignorance.
Yeah, especially with music. I think it's okay to be critical in most other subjects, but with music, you either like it or not, it's very subjective to taste eh
GARY MOORE IS THAT YOU?
Jess Lewis brother
I like your playing, but it looks like you're not putting any feeling into it ;)
I hear you brother; the gutting of the arts in schools is a piss poor way to pretend to be interested in a balanced budget, while giving an open checkbook to the generals for every war. I think your words about Requiem are poetic, but if I'd never heard it, I couldn't possibly imagine it from them; that's just the limit of describing music, not that you did a bad job of it. Listening to it will always be the point; so if we can only figure out how to entice people to listen....
If only he was sitting on a toilet that would of made sense.
Oh men! It's goddamn right!))))) Your sense of humor is incredible!)))))
"Legendary status" has no bearing on quality; talentless Kurt Cobain attained it. Clapton's continues despite no relevant contributions in decades. Legends are bullshit; you're as good as your last performance, regardless how much ink Rolling Stone's wasted discussing you. The world is full of people who are better than "legends", which are made by clueless journalists, and sales figures which have no relationship to quality, or Madonna and Gaga pics would share my wall with Jimi, and Trane.
I remember watching this ten years ago. I just went over all JTC videos just to find this precious one. Youre a master what a flavored solo amazing ten years after
Love The Faces ,,,Fk all the haters You Kill on guitar
And since when sounding like Gary Moore is a bad thing? It's one of the biggest things you can ear in this business. Gary was awesome. RIP.
Man, you can play the guitar with feeling. Keep going with those vibratos and bends, they are great.
They'll always be simple music (which the masses gravitate to) and they'll always be complicated genre bending madness (played by "musicians musicians") And they'll ALWAYS be opinions on which is "better". All I know is; i'll always love some of both.
I really don`t get how he produces the harmonics like the one at 1:07 I mean what is his right hand doing?! He does not pick?!?!?!
+Slears He's using his left hand for pizzicato (flicks the string) then catches a natural harmonic, the sustain and tremolo bar do the rest :) always fun!
sergio salvucci
o.k. thanks..I will try that..sounds cool
@FinalFantasyCenter i agree vibrato is a flourish, as simple as it is, it's not meant for every long note
@FinalFantasyCenter yeah i dont rly listen to him but props to him for making it playing guitar ahah
Looks like my sarcasm didn't translate very well. Even with the obvious winking face at the end...
It makes sense to me to turn people on to other interesting forms of music they haven't discovered, but to be fair, the question would be difficult for anyone, even a music major, to answer. I can talk at length about things I like about an artist, but for someone who's never heard it, I suspect it's like describing being stoned to someone who's never been; they remain a virgin. I think it's great that you try to broaden people's music lives; we all need that.
I always like to force people's hand and ask them specifically "why or what is it about the music that you like, in detail". Mostly, the answer they squirt out is "I like the beat" or " I like the words". I have never met a lover of some "lesser forms" of music whom can explain from a conventional music theory standpoint WHAT THEY LIKE. It kinda makes me a jerkoff but I like to enlighten them to the fact that there is other music out there which required thought to compose. Hope that makes sense
....Their opinions of music, like mine of painting, are partly based on an inherent ignorance of the art. School age children today receive no musical education so they like what is played and exhibited for them by the corporate media (i.e. radio, internet, magazines). Otherwise they could care less about music and rarely seek out new forms of it. My point is, I agree that certain opinions on topics carry more weight than others because they are based on vast knowledge and not blissful ignorance
Though you two have written a ton here, I think I understand what you're saying. To us painting as an example, I know very little about it. I see a picture that looks good to me, I like it. No matter how many art experts tell me that the guys who splatter paint are geniuses, I just can't get into it and would never buy it. It's the same with music to the non-musician. Most people have no knowledge of what is impressive writing/playing skill and can only go with what they hear.........
I think the only one who can "give merit" is the artist who creates; it's either good or not, and it might suck and have screaming fans, or be brilliant and widely hated. We just have a totally different set of beliefs about art. I will never be able to agree that every opinion is equal, and quality is totally personal and subjective. Some people are perceptive and knowledgeable, while others are dim and ignorant, and their opinions aren't equal to me. Never heard Skrillex.
I don't think I misunderstood; I just don't agree. It is my opinion that good musicians and bad can be identified with confidence, by people who have spent the time to learn the difference. People who do know the difference, imo, are better sources for learning of new artists that might have merit. You are saying, if I understand that those opinions are elitist nonsense, and that everyone's opinion is equal; good/bad is entirely subjective. We simply don't agree, perhaps permanently.
You've completely mis-understood me. Anyone should only consider their own opinion on any artforms "greatness", no one else's should matter or sway your opinion. What I mean is; no one is a more "perceptive" listener for liking Coltrane more than Madonna. They just have different ears, hearing different things. It's completely personal. No one should think their a greater, smarter, perceptive person for liking Jazz. Inturn someone who likes pop music shouldn't think everyone else is pretentious.
There are no vibrato rules; it's entirely personal. I'm reminded of a group interview featuring John Abercrombie, and Bill Connors in which they were asked what they thought of Van Halen (during the Van Roth years, I think). Bill hated him, calling his vibrato 'exaggerated beyond rubber bands", and Abercrombie said "he sounds good to me". What vibrato is "meant for" is individual, and this guy shows a beautiful sense of pitch and drama the way he uses it, even if it doesn't appeal to all.
As for the nostalgia thing; I'm thinking in terms of longer time frames; nostalgia is a personal thing that has nothing to do with musical merit. Sure, people like ABBA, Lawrence Welk, and other crap for a few decades out of nostalgia, but that isn't what's meant by "standing the test of time". J.S. Bach isn't popular because of nostalgia, but because perceptive listeners could hear his genius when he was alive, and 500 years from now still will. Not so with ABBA, Gaga etc.
What I meant by "their quality is real", I clarified already; independent of current opinions; even if I never heard one positive comment about Coltrane, I'd know he was great the minute I listened, as would any perceptive listener. If opinions were the only evidence of quality, (and as you claim, they all carried equal weight) then discussions of musician's relative greatness could be settled simply by who has the most "votes"; but that obviously isn't the case.
The fact is, Jazz has become what classical/opera was and still is. Classicals frowned apon Jazzers. Jazzers frowned upon rockers, Rockers frown upon Electronic musicians. Or at least they did for a period, until they needed to make a buck, suck it up and go with the trend. Some still say within their musical traditions of decades ago and become mostly stale to the general public because its instrumentation stays the same.
Quality is real?? What does that even mean? I don't even like Lady Gaga but she is more than just marketing and was playing in bars & clubs, writing songs for major artist before the whole meat dress shes got a penis thing. Whos to say or know how her music will last through time. There are many artists "like ABBA" who i never thought would hold weight decades later, but people still love them, its nostalgia. It will always exist for most artists fans in varying forms.
Nonsense (in my opinion). Fans of the greats mentioned will soon outnumber fans of Gaga, since their quality is real, independent of anyone now living's opinion, while hers is pure marketing. Anyone dismissive of all but current pop favorites, has an opinion that is indeed "less" than one who loves music, and isn't in a hypnotic trance induced by mass entertainment marketers. People who quote Rolling Stone's "greatest" lists in music discussions have an opinion that is indeed "less".
Again with the facts, your only sharing your opinion. I think its a massive accomplishment to become an influence to millions of musicians, considering we will never hear everyone who creates music. I think why artists like Clapton and Hendrix have lost their "chops" and become "boring" as many would say, is because of the massive influence theyve had on everyone after them. Even indirectly through other artists. How many of their licks have your heard everyone play? No wonder their boring now.
Quality of what? Your confirming my point. Its a completely personal thing to say that. "Clapton's continues despite no relevant contributions in decades" IN YOUR EYES. You can't confuse fact with opinion. I THINK Kurt Cobain is not talented with his technique. But his songwriting skills are up their with the greatest pop artists. He honed his craft from listening to the Beatles. Now you might say pop music is not art. But was Andy Warhol an artist with his Pop Art? You can only have an opinion.
Influence is interesting to contemplate, in the same way the "butterfly effect' is, but people constantly overestimate the influence of their heroes, and are overly impressed by it. People are highly suggestible, so it's no big accomplishment of Clapton's for example, that Van Halen was into him; Eddie is a much more interesting player than Eric, who got interesting when he ditched the Clapton influence and started creating his own sounds. (imo);)
The "little tike" comment was a little fun. I was implying that hes a young man who has a long way to go to get to the legendary status of those two artists. Like I said, I personally enjoy his playing more than Clapton's. But whose to say what he, or any of us for that matter would sound like if GIlmour, Clapton and every other artist that was influenced by them, that influenced you weren't ever around! Pretty trippy when you think of it that way...
You cant say anyones "better" than anyone else ARTISTICALLY "better" art is only opinion. Only technique can be ranked and judged. I don't see the point in that though, as technique is only part of the puzzle in music. I love guitarists with little technique to virtuosos and others in between. From Chuck Berry to David Gilmour, Steve Vai to Guthrie Govan. To me its not about how much technical prowess you have, but how you use that technique creatively, musically. Btw im not actually religious!
The "little tike" comment is silly and unfair. He's probably older than Jimi when he made Electric Ladyland; age is irrelevant. This "little tike" may be unknown (I just found him), but listen with your ears without prejudice. If I closed my eyes and imagined it's Clapton, I couldn't help but notice he got his fire back, and his tone and phrasing are better than ever. I like Gilmour, but he's pretty limited; much more so than this "tike", who can do the soulful blues bends, but much more.
Nobody is better? I respectfully disagree; it's art so very difficult to judge, but there is such a thing as great art and bad art in my mind. To illustrate using extremes, nobody will take you seriously if you say Kiss is better than Jimi, or that Steven Segal is a better guitarist than Jeff Beck. I like Gilmour, but sorry, I'm not interested in joining his church.
Western Popular Music (what all these genres are part of) consists of the same chords rhythms scales & melodies. Hell even the same words. All that changes is the advancement of technology which changes how these musical attributes are produced & SOUND. Thats all. Its all the same.
reminds me of david gilmour
@GuitarEbb I agree. I see a lot of players these days being to violent with their vibrato-technique. Creates a much smoother sound if you're a little bit more subtle.
your vibrato is insane !!!
change the tempo dude, play a little more fast sometimes ... only this point.
Very good tone, Gary moore style, nice playing!!!!
Amazing playing!!!...but ....The "I REALLY GOTTA TAKE A SHIT" facial expressions is annoying!!! Great playing otherwise!!
