Kenny used to jam at parties we had in our piano shop in Littleton Colo in 1976. Followed him and his band in little clubs in Denver. Unbelievable amazing music, progressive jazz. We were too poor to buy recording equipment. Kenny, thanks for those memories!
@@drogba4evah672 I was wondering the same thing. I discovered him in my 60s and had been playing music since I was 18. This guy is right in there with the greats!
I would like to thank Otis Gibbs for showing me the wonderful Kenny Vaughan. I would highly recommend Otises channel lot of music history you aint gonna get anywhere else.
They took that song and killed it! That was sick 2 masters on the same stage. They both played great, giving each other room and complimenting without worrying about it, that's what I call style
Both Kenny and Guthrie are killer guitar players. I know only because I've heard them up close and personal. The most amazing thing about these guys is that there are no gimmicks. First time I heard Kenny play, he was plugged directly into a Fender amp-no pedals or effects of any kind. Yet their sound is amazing!
Thing I really like about a lot of these songs is guitar playing rhythm is just as important as the lead. The players seem to sense this and trade back and forth effortlessly. The whole band is heard and chips in to make the songs sound great. Same with the vocals.
Yes, the rhythm playing by both is top notch, got to back the vocals and lead player no doubt! So important. I got a real kick watching Kenny and Guthrie trade off.
This is important for all guitar playing in all styles of music ... at least IMHO. A band with solid rhythm and mediocre lead playing will sound better then shredding lead player and a crap rhythm section. Even better if the vocals are good.
@@MartinMCade Yes, I agree it makes all the difference in the world. I also will say that if the drummer isn't excellent the band will suck too. I think we've all heard those bands who have a crap rhythm section and a shredding lead player, not really worth listening to for any length of time really.
Crazy good… Love how Kenny and the band just lock in when Guthrie starts charging… Awesome rhythm backing and just perfect accompaniment… Kenny’s vocals are really good too… Would love to see these guys…
These boys make it look so easy but they're definitely from another planet. They're burning that place down I can still feel the heat all these years later.
Love the playing of Kenny Vaughan. I can't speak for others, but Kenny Vaughan's playing inspires me to do better on guitar. And hats off to Guthrie Trapp. Wow! Great player, no doubt about it! One of the finest guitar players I've heard in a long time.
@@jamespettersson9655 I’m sure they’ve got compressors and OD maybe some delay but it’s all subtle and musical. They’re not tap dancing on boards to make the songs because the songs aren’t “written” that way. Just straight tearing up the guitars.
I remember when Kenny Vaughn was the lead guitarist in the Denver New Wave group "The Gluons" circa 1980. He was in a league by himself then ... and now!
John Lee Hooker wrote music that jumps to almost any genre. Kenny & Guthrie both look for pieces that serve as launching pads, and this is one of the best. As usual, what knocks me out is the rhythm that both artists play. Butt-rockin’!
Guthrie Trapp's guitar solo begins at the 3:00 minute mark. There aren't enough superlatives or hyperbolical expressions of praise for me to express my opinion of his incredible, magnificent, wonderful, marvelous, spectacular, remarkable, phenomenal, prodigious, breathtaking, extraordinary, unbelievable, amazing, stunning, astounding, astonishing, awe-inspiring, staggering, formidable, impressive, supreme, great, awesome, superhuman; fantastic, terrific, tremendous, stupendous, mind-boggling, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, out of this world, far out; and wondrous, two minute guitar solo. ...but if you can think of any, help me out. OH, and Kenny Vaughan's solo is pretty much off the charts great, too!
I've seen both of these guys a few years ago with Don Kelly downtown. Both are excellent in their own right. And I enjoyed them both with Don Kelly numerous times. Good stuff!
This ain't surf music but Guthrie Trapp is sure out there hangin 10! Insane. I don't know how the audience does it, sittin on their butts through that.
"Incredible"?? Yes, he is solid as a rock, and (as are all good bass players) undoubtably a very good musician, but he is playing a two beat on the I and V...is there a more basic part for a bassist?? I am delighted that he saw fit to simply play this basic part, but the bass "line" is "incredible"??? Seems like a bombastic exaggeration...
@@commontater8630 Pedantic as I may be, my comment was directed at the assignation of "incredible" to the bass line, instead of to the bass player. Yes, a two-beat, I-V bass line is dumb-as-shit, but for many songs, dumb-as-shit is the only appropriate bass line. What is "incredible" to me is that a young musician would be satisfied with being limited to dumb-as-shit, without wanting to "improve" on it (by ruining the groove with showboating bullshit), instead of employing it to create a groove a mile wide and a mile deep, like our young bass hero in this video. I hope to fuck that institutions such as Berklee see fit to teach the importance, validity and appropriateness of dumb-as-shit, in addition to their usual 3-ring-circus approach to how to play "music"...
Cousin Kenny, you and Guthrie are on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Most under rated guitar player in the world. Any style and KV is all over it!
Word. He's a chameleon. Does it all.

Kenny Vaughan- my new favorite guitarist. How I spent 55 years on planet earth and just now learned his name is beyond me.
@@drogba4evah672 I was wondering the same thing. I discovered him in my 60s and had been playing music since I was 18. This guy is right in there with the greats!
The only thing wrong with this video is that I can't click the Thumbs Up button more than once! Epic guitar work!
Yeah, they'd be in the 100,000's by now if we all could!
I’m about t watch this 47 times in a row …..binge
Guthrie's solo was insane!
I would like to thank Otis Gibbs for showing me the wonderful Kenny Vaughan. I would highly recommend Otises channel lot of music history you aint gonna get anywhere else.
Love Otis~ no homo
Kenny Vaughn and the great Guthrie Trapp! It don't get better than this!
Guthrie has some unique phrasing that just has your brain 🧠 working overtime
Kenny is so cool, so good -- he burns it up then hands it off to Guthrie, who keeps it burnin. What a pair!
Guthrie is just sick, they're all good but guthrie is just a beast!!! Gives you the chills!! Incredible and beyond inspiring
It felt like those solos could build forever
I love Guthrie Trapp's reactionafter his solo. You can totally tell he's down to Earth.
He is so humble. What a great man..
WOW!! These guys must have been born with Telecasters in their hands. Absolutely smokin' hot guitar work.
They took that song and killed it! That was sick 2 masters on the same stage. They both played great, giving each other room and complimenting without worrying about it, that's what I call style
Guthrie, one of the best solos on youtube, holy cow !!! and Kenny is a beast too of course
I can’t get enough of this. I think I’ve watched this probably 20 times in the last three days. Hell, I’m sax player! LOL
Kenny just kills it here. One of the best red dirt country solo’s ever. Fantastic

sounds stilted to me, could have been way better
@@bayshorepark1231239 Please post the video of how you did it better and "unstilted".
These Tele-slingers are next level! Bubbles pretty awesome on the bass alos! lol...

❤ I’m back and it’s still better than ever.
Vaughn is the man. Les Paul just appeared before my eyes
Kenny was born to play so good ! I feel like I'm living again, listening to real music.
Kenny is so good check him out playing with Lucinda Williams on Austin City Limits. Absolutely an awesome set what a great band she had in 98.
Guthrie Trapp.....Is Freaking AMAZING...LOVE HIM..
Telecaster Masters!
That look Kenny gives Guthrie at 3:55 is just pure, raw, in-the-grease gold. A rumba pattern?? Daaaaang fellas 😂😂😂
Crazy good… Love how Kenny and the band just lock in when Guthrie starts charging… Awesome rhythm backing and just perfect accompaniment… Kenny’s vocals are really good too… Would love to see these guys…
Kenny Vaughn kicks all asses when it comes to picking a Telecaster.
Saw this guy with Marty Stuart live a few months back, my jaw was dropped the entire time.
Saw them a few weeks ago. When my jaw wasn't on the floor , my eyes were welling up! Fantastic!
Saw him with Marty 8/26/19 in Salem Oregon at the state fair.
These boys make it look so easy but they're definitely from another planet. They're burning that place down I can still feel the heat all these years later.
I always thought Kenny was extra-terrestrial, and now here's a buddy of his joining him onstage.
NOW WHO CAN PLAY BETTER THAN THAT
I love that walk down he does going back every time and Guthrie trapp is The man
Love the playing of Kenny Vaughan. I can't speak for others, but Kenny Vaughan's playing inspires me to do better on guitar. And hats off to Guthrie Trapp. Wow! Great player, no doubt about it! One of the finest guitar players I've heard in a long time.
No peddals, no effects, just great pickin'! Love it!!
Stricktlly Telecasters
there is a little peddling going on, some of kennys nasty sound is pedaled up a bit, the guy is a monster player

that was freakin fun to see.... this is the kind of kick nashville needs more of...
Kenny Vaughn is a fantastic guitar player!
One of the very best. Ever. Period.
Real music is alive and well.
Guthrie is the man
I watch this EVERY DAY
Guthrie is freaking amazing
I first encountered Kenny telling stories with Otis Gibbs. I had no idea...
Kenny and Guthrie burning it down! ! ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kenny is so versatile. Love listening to him. Telecaster bliss! Great in concert with Marty Stuart.
Love seeing guys this good let loose and rip on guitar
Wow, absolute killer guitar playing!!! 👍🎸
John Lee Hooker wrote music that jumps to almost any genre. Kenny & Guthrie both look for pieces that serve as launching pads, and this is one of the best. As usual, what knocks me out is the rhythm that both artists play. Butt-rockin’!
Kenny Vaughn has that Jimmy Bryant vibe ....very strong authoritative player.....like a million soldiers breaking through a wall
Killer performance from all.
Kenny and Guthrie putting on a masterclass
Trapp is a beast.
the whole package, he is awesome go Kenny.
My two favourite “Guitstingers”..... YEEEHAAA......
Guthrie is out of this world fantastic!
Kenny and Guthrie killin' it here.

...Epic, face-melting, eye-popping, speechlessness-rendering (ok, that one's a stretch!)...
Sublime and yeah, sexy. Someone had to say it.
Ask Kenny. He'd have some Fabulous Superlatives.
Ten years too late, but I'm glad I found this. Bravo.
Damn...that run Guthrie started about 3:20 is sick....awesome....
Just a big compliment for the bass player. Great looking bass, especially with the sponge! Love his playing technique with the left hand. 👍🏻👏🏻
Brilliant

Holy Smoke Lord ! These guys are on fire ! Amen !
Fantastic guitar players
Amazing guitar players, and drums and bass of course.
Beautiful.
Best wishes from Argentina
We miss Nashville but we are coming back!!
What an insane amount of work it must have taken to play that well. Wow!
Bass line on this is incredible. My compliments to that young man.
JT Cure. He’s Chris Stapletons bass player. Very good musician.

Those guys are awesome, incredible, brillant !!!!
3.54 to 3.58 - a country blues montuno... never heard one of those before :-) Chapeau Mr Trapp!
twangbarfly: 3:54 works better, goes straight to the spot. Thanks for the tip. Never heard of 'monturo' before, though the musical bit is familiar.
yeah , kenny is stellar and yeah guthrie trapp is awesome too !
just love it. hope to see him live once.
Kenny and Guthrie.................bad ass guitar playing
Кенни потрясный гитарист и певец, обожаю его
dayum!
We love Kenny!!
Incredible talent on that stage..
Ouah! Just unbelievable!
Good playing, good blues. I'm glade he is keeping music alive. Good scales. The best I've heard in a long time.
You go, Cuz!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Two if the worlds BEST! Cousin Kenny V. and Guthrie T. simply outstanding!!!
chickinpickin1 Guthrie hope to see you soon at Roberts Jim Rathbone 1952@gmail.com
What a treat to see these two play together. Two of Nashville's finest, as well as the worlds finest.
Marvelous!...............Thank you for sharing!
Some guitarists get into the "Zone" once or twice per concert. Some only once or twice in their life. Kenny lives there full time.
Whooo, Lordy!
gotta get me one of them green ones ~ so eyes can play like that
From what I've seen of Kenny Vaughn, he's a C.G.P.
Lord, Guthrie Trapp is absolutely and insanely incredible!
Kenny rocks!!!
Monster Alert !!
Locked in. 🤘
KV doing Little Walter, love it!
Wow ! !
This is terrific!
Yessssss indeed!
He is rapidly becoming one of my favorite players!!
KV is so damn good.
Outstanding
Kenny thinks it ain't right, he is a great musician, and he's cool.
Good Lord!!!! Wow!
