    What an absolute gem of a human. Steve is probably the most humble "guitar hero" in history. Still underappreciated.

    Steve Morse is One in 100 Million - without question. His technique, versatility, and sheer ability on the instrument is legendary, and modern players have him to thank for setting the shredder bar so high - and so many have taken that ball and ran with it; achieving unbelievable technical perfection. However, compositions are where we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, and the Morseman is a monster composer. Like a bizarre genetic hybrid of Bach and Billy Gibbons, his melodic sense, harmonic depth, and balance of sensitive phrasing and ferocious attack place him up on the Mount Rushmore (or Mount Olympus?) of musicians. Thank you Steve!!!

    Steve, I miss you from DP. Purpendicular is my album, no one writes as soulful melody as “Sometimes I feel like screaming”. I felt incredible sadness when I heard your departure, for the right reasons. I am really sorry what happened with your wife. God Bless Her, and God Bless You! Thank you for all the great memories from the Budapest concerts and the meet & greet. My Family and myself won’t forget your kindness, happiness and always cheerful energy that you gave on and off stage. We were incredibly lucky that we witnessed the greatness of the very humble Mr. Steve Morse. Thank you 🤘😍🤘 A Hard Rocking Family from Hungary

    A buddy and I went to see Steve at the Orpheum Theatre in the late 80's or early 90's. He was at the ticket booth talking to the person working there. We couldn't get up the courage to walk up and talk to him, he was 10 feet from us. It was a great show and I'll always regret not going up and saying hello. Great musician and seems like a great person too.

    What an inspiring story. Ernie Ball, please do String Theory videos more often, some of us live and breathe better each day one of these videos drops. I've been struggling with committing full time to music for a long time too, quit my job for music but couldn't figure the money stuff out so left music full time - but my heart doesn't belong anywhere else, and I'm happiest and healthiest playing the guitar. Good to know I've not been alone in this situation, and somewhat proud that it was shared with the likes of Steve Morse. Maybe I'll find my way with this dilemma too just as him. Again, please keep these videos coming more often!

    I remember Steve Morse with his crazy long hair leaning back on a couch with a Frankentele in Guitar World. Managed to find a cassette of The Introduction and it was the soundtrack to the best summer of my life.
    He introduced me to the great Albert Lee on the song General Lee.
    And his next album introduced me to Eric Johnson.
    He’s been inspiring me since the first day I heard him.
    Thank you Mr. Morse…this is a beautiful human being!

    I went to see RUSH in San Antonio, TX in 1985 - I was 19 yrs young. I hurried into the arena because I could hear their opening band had already begun playing... The Steve Morse Band. I was like.. WHOA! Who is this band? What I remember thinking is how good this band NEEDED to be in order for them to be warming up for RUSH. Well, it didn't take long for me to realize The Steve Morse Band was the real deal. Rod Morgenstein's playing ability and smile said it all, as well. RUSH was excellent but the real love affair with The Steve Morse Band had been ignited. "Golden Quest" became one of my all-time favorite tunes. Who would have thought, Tom Scholz would have company at the top of my personal list of American rock & roll Idols. Walk On Steve Morse!!

    In my early years of playing, I'd heard of Steve Morse and read his articles in various magazines, but back then I was a kid and it wasn't like today where I could jump on the internet and learn about someone. I came across his book A Journey Through Life with Guitar and read it over and over, highlighting, and taking notes. I don't know when or how it was lost to the journey, but this vid made me go buy it again tonight. Looking forward to the refresher and hopefully, many more years of his music.

I heard him for the first time on an album by a french finger style guitarist Marcel Dadi and suddenly said :Wow, who’s doing these awesome solo parts!!! After that I discovered what a great talent he was. Saw him every time DP was in town and once to a G3 concert where he gently signed my Steve Morse signature guitar.He was so kind. Steve is and will be my number one. Thank you for this wonderful video.

    I have to add my experience to the many before. I met Steve at Saratoga Winners, in Colonie NY back in the early 90's, and talked with him a bit, and I saw him interact with other musicians who "dreamed" of talking to him, and he was the nicest, most approachable, most humble, real, down-to-earth musician, and person, I ever met, and the remains so to this day. He is truly a Blessing. He LITERALLY that night made me choose between playing drums and playing guitar. Guitar it was, and still is. His musical gift continues to both inspire and astound.! Thank you Steve! And thank you Ernie Ball and Music Man, and the entire family and team, for your absolutely amazing and inspiring products and instruments!

    Thanks Steve for the music and inspiration. It led me on a quest I never would have taken had I not picked up a guitar. There have been so many hard times along the way that without music I surely would have lost my way. If you have a song in your heart, then it's one that must be played. That is the well every musician drinks from. And in the sense we are never alone.
    Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

    Saw The Dregs for the first time, opening for Pure Prairie League, in Denver, summer 1979. Next was High Tension Wires tour, in Houston, with T. Lavitz.
    Although I'm a drummer, Steve's playing and composing has been an enormous influence on me not only musically, but in my life. Funny that I'm just now finding out that his dad was a preacher so he was surrounded by sacred music, because when I heard him in the '70s, I thought, this sounds like church music influence, a little bit.
    What a life!

    The fact that he joined Deep Purple made him more known by larger audiences, and gave him more financial return (wich he's worthy). But, in terms of music creativity, it was less challenging than what he was doing before (Dixie Dregs and Steve Morse Band). When I listen to his compositions back at the Dixie Dregs and Steve Morse Band days, I have no doubt that he is the GOAT. And it's so sad to see him getting old. (And worse: I don't see anyone taking his place - in terms of style). It's a kind of geniusess that will be lost forever.
