I haven't seen the performance, but I'm betting your version of tanking it is the equivalent of my version of nailing it.
Ha ha. Exactly my thoughts!!!
I dream of tanking it that badly lol!
Exactly right
😂
Great to see the human side of playing at that level Shawn. I’ve noticed it’s a thing you do really well on your channel. Keep it up.
Love yer chn longer history's would be ok by me.
Thanks very much! You do great work!
Shawn Tubbs Thanks Shawn!
Great to hear Pete Anderson mentioned. IMO, he's a monster (so are you Shawn!).
Really appreciate you, Shawn. On every level. Musicality, skill, humility.
Always enjoy your talent, humility and willingness to share... thanks!
Killer Shawn. Lots of good stuff for me in this one. Thanks!
Thank you for doing such an honest video with so much background information! This solo is one of my favourites.
You rock Shawn. Much respect for this video and the story behind it.
Thank you so much for a peek behind the curtain on something like this. Fascinating for sure!
Just when I was starting to think Shawn Tubbs is just a super human guitarist.
He shares this with all of us, which is inspiring.
He's a
sincerely humble person that I truly continue to learn from,
Btw, I still think he's a super human guitarist plus amazing person,
Thank you.
Thanks very much!!!
Thanks for your candid honesty, and your humility! Amazingly refreshing. We appreciate it,
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
I stopped and went and found it right after the intro. It is so cool that tanking it and professionals improvising is really synonymous. Because I knew it was fun to see you musicians smirking at each other. It sounded great. I love Brent's work . It is encouraging and reassuring that you felt so challenged by his work, being so amazingly talented and accomplished yourself. And I did come back and finish the video😁
What a great video, thanks for letting us in!
Absolutely smokin' solo Shawn. Cool story too, I hadn't heard that Carrie track before.
Thanks so much, Ross! I hope you're doing well. Your channel is fabulous man.
Just listened to that Letterman clip and honestly wouldn’t have noticed without seeing this video and looking at your face. It’s pretty interesting how we hear ourselves and how strong our perspective can taint our experience.
What you call tanking is what I love about seeing a great player live. Pushing the limits just enough to pull unexpected stuff out of the bag. Killer video man thank you!
Fantastic! Thank you. A real learning experience!
Shawn, it is refreshing and encouraging to hear that a player of your caliber still may get nervous about performing a solo and even tanking them every once in a while. Thank you for such an honest and humble account, and great lesson!
man! please do more of this kind of videos!! love it!!! more more more!!
I can't say enough how PRECIOUS this is. Thank you for sharing your incredible playing and knowledge
Thank you for this... it's refreshing to hear a guitarist of your caliber be so honest about a less than flattering incident. You are a real inspiration 🙂
Shawn, It's funny you mentioned how you tanked your solo on Letterman because it's become one of my very favorite solos of all time. But I think I loved hearing the story behind it the most. It's inspiring to see how humble you are, and the struggle of someone of your expertise trying to pull all this together on a huge gig. When I saw the Letterman performance you did a few years ago, I was hoping I would someday hear the story about this insanely cool solo you did with the Carrie Underwood tour. Thanks so much for making such great content!
Amazing, great technique, beautiful..
Your an inspiration! I'd take your tanked versions any day. Another one of my favorite tele guys is Vince Gill. Thanks for being so down to earth for playing like a God!
I've watched the clip of this performance and all I have to say is that your solo is the best of the whole song
Thank u Shawn...you are d best!!!
You kids and your dang telecasters! Loved it Shawn!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this stuff even though I'm a solid rocker at heart. Anyway, I looked up the live video too and one of my favorite bits was the little run with the fiddle. That was bad ass.
Your playing is like a bolt of lightning!! Energy baby!
I laughed when you said you tanked the performance!
my first reaction was. Dang, straight fire bruh! You are be far one of my top 5 favorite Guitarist.
Loved this one!
No clue why I am finally seeing this! LOVE IT!
Great story Shawn and power to you for having the strength to share it. You are an amazing player in your own right!
Thanks very much Tim!!
If I could play on my best day like you do on your worst day I’d be happy :) It really is refreshing to see a great player talk humbley and openly about the challenges instead of just pretending it’s all just a walk in the park. Great stuff.
Love the story. Have played quite a few country gigs (bar gigs) myself over the years, from a blues/rock players perspective and I always felt that I was really just faking it. I have great respect for guys like Brad, Brent and may other country players. You're a great player Shawn...always enjoy your videos.
Thank you for breaking it down and slowing it down! You da man!
You are truely a legend and a humble human being...respect from India.
Thanks so much! My older brother has been to India a few times now. He loves it there!
You're awesome Shawn. Thanks for sharing
Thanks very much!
Sound killer Shawn!! Def gotta cop a few of those licks.......Tasty Stuff!!!
I loved this man! Great video
Ok, so after going through this awesome video Shawn, then going BACK to the Letterman performance, sure, some very very VERY difficult to spot clams, the performance was absolutely killer! The next day, there's so much stuff to lift from this video!
killer solo. thanks for break-in it down
We as musicians are always over critical of ourselves...and that’s ok because that is how we grow. I thought it was a killer solo and executed well in the situation. Thanks for the breakdown of it too! You really did an awesome job of writing it!
very cool insights!!
Ok Shawn... after watching this video I went and watched the performance on Letterman. If that's what you call "tanking" I'll take that any day! You were awesome! And you played on LETTERMAN! That's history, Man! Good on ya!
Fantastic video Shawn! Love to hear stories like this.
Thanks so much, Vlad! I hope you're doing well!
Shawn Tubbs I’m doing great, thanks! Hope your doing well too!
Just wanted to add that your videos have started to kick all kinds of butt lately and it’s super inspiring. Makes me want to up my game as well, so thank you! :)
Great solo with an inspirational backstory. 👍🏼👍🏼
Unbelievable playing by the way!!!🤙
insanely good.....I must keep practising
I love your technical terms like "open note stuffies". I can tech my grand kids with that kind of language......
Tankx for the memories...
That solo is f"n outrageous. I've only just started playing country and I'm gonna steal some of these licks :) Love your playing, Shawn.
Thanks very much Patrick!!
Brad Paisley is the king of making "wrong" notes sound like the only possible note to play.
awesome stuff! I grew up in the 80s rock and metal so I wasn't really a fan of telecasters. A few years ago I got a itch to get one and I bought a fender tele and I would never think of getting rid of it.
I just watched the Letterman performance today and thought I'd ask about this. I was gonna post on Facebook and ask you to talk about this, then I thought, maybe I should check... Great to hear that you tanked it all over the place. Gives me hope ;) Ha! Even the killer players make mistakes. Great performance none the less. What I lifted off of this was "John Jorgenson" Now he's in rotation! Excellent Shawn, just excellent!
Shawn you are an amazing, beautiful person. :-)
Hello Shawn. After your description of the Letterman crash, i had to go watch to see. Being the expert i am at screwing up solo's, I figured it would be good for a laugh. Brother you knocked outa the park... what you talking about! I really enjoy your humble attitude and great playing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much, Patrick!
Took 4 days, got it 75% speed, then thought "heck, why not try 100%"... never have I failed so hard lol. Shawn you're amazing. Going to be working on this for the next two weeks solid.
Great solo and tone brother.
That's some insane skill!
Stellar!
great ....thanks for letting me soak this in a bit
i havnt enjoyed a "tutorial" so much. thanks for the share.
You are so humble Shawn...
I just went to the letterman vid and left a comment about what an awesome guitarist played there 😎😉
Thanks so much! It's very kind of you to take the time to do that.
Brilliant! No tanking!
Man I checked that live version out you call that tanking I call it shit hot , that was an awesome solo!
I've watched the Letterman Live video a few times, and I could tell you didn't nail the solo perfectly (mostly from your facial expressions!), but it's a far cry from a full-on "tank"! Nice though to have a chance for a do-over! I'm someone who gets "stage fright" just from turning on a home recording device! Great video, great solo.
Wow, your honesty is both refreshing and hilarious.
Really difficult to believe you've ever struggled with anything string related.
Thank You for sharing Shawn.
BTW, I didn't get my first Telecaster until after I'd been playing 42 years (it happens)!
Just went to watch the live song, man.....i didnt know you're this much of a rock star.
I just watched that performance, and had I not watched this I would have never even noticed anything being off. Even now that I do know, it just feels like you were doing some inspired riffing off of the exact notation. In other words, that solo was great. I would need to grow more fingers to play that!
“Tanking it?” Ya right! More like nailing it Shawn. You sound absolutely killer. Thank you for the posts. You have to come to Toronto, Canada perhaps at Cosmo music to do a guitar clinic. Cheers Sawn.
That would be awesome. Too bar he never played Hugh's room like a friend did many times Albert Lee.
Killer tone!!
Great tone (I need to get me that Pettyjohn pedal) and I love the solo. When I had a band, I flubbed a number of parts playing live that I could play in my sleep. I was always nervous playing in front of people and I was never nearly as good as I wanted to be or as any of my heroes. Thanks for being brave and admitting your flaws so that people like me don't feel quite so bad about themselves. :)
Sick as always! That’s some fancy chicken 🐔 Pickery going down there.!
Thanks for the break down. Great idea. Now I’m gonna search for the letterman video! Cheers!
Only that you said you tanked that solo I never would have noticed. Sounds great. And this is not easy stuff!
Some of the examples slowed down sound better to me than at full velocity . Great lesson !
I remember seeing you play this on the Blown Away DVD and thinking "Man, what a great country picking guitar player. I wanna be like him!"
Just went to the Letterman video...sounded great to me! But I could see your face expression after that one line you talked about LOL
Wow if that was a wrong solo I sure loved it. They both sounds great man!
Thanks very much!!
Killer solo Shawn damn!
Thanks so much, Peter. You're very kind!
Great video man!!
Thanks so much Ben!
That’s an awesome solo....
“solo I completely tanked” Looked it up. Sounded great! Yeah there were a couple missed notes/sloppy runs and what not but it was still a great live take. Always awesome to see how a pro learns from his missteps!
Shawn's "tanking" is the best solo I could dream of playing!
👍👍Shawn thats just really excellent,,,,,I found the Letterman episode,,, you're too tough on yourself,,, hell I thought it was damn good back then🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
This bought back cold sweats. If it helps, what Brad did to you, you did to me ;-)
I was asked to play this song for a 1-off gig in 2013, listened to the original, and was suitably terrified. Then they said they wanted your live Letterman version....to my ears it was even harder to comprehend! Been a fan of yours ever since, keep up the great work.
ps. could really have done with this video in 2013 ;-)
I bet you nailed it!!
Doesn't play country....yea ok. This solo is sick! I could never think of something like this myself. I don't know how the original solo goes, but how could it possibly be better??? You continue to amaze me. Now I have to make a half assed attempt to learn this, or at least some of it, and copy and share the link with all my guitarist friends. Perhaps another Facebook share, and a threat to burn my own guitars. Thanks Shawn!!!
Shawn please, make a video about the entire song, i think your rhythmic guitar is great
I love hearing players talk about blowing it on stage. In some scenarios I find my self in a "fight or flight response" on stage. Sometimes choosing the right note feels as stressful as choosing the right wire to cut on a timed bomb! I will be booking a Skype lesson with you for sure. You've got way too much to offer, dude. I hope you don't mind chatting a little bit about that aspect of playing!!
Great story. 😊
I just watched the Cupid's Got A Shotgun video on Carrie Underwood's channel. You're being extremely modest. Your solo sounds awesome!!!
You are the best dude!
Thanks, Taylor! Keep doing your thing man!
When I watch one country guitar player I feel small, when I see two of them playing together I feel like why do I even try and play? You and a few others on UA-cam are like Sebastian’s song Nashville Cats. They play clean as country water.......they been playing since they’s babies.........everyone of ‘em play better than I will. Nashville cats. still true today.
Your an amazing player and musician. Thanks for this video.
That style of guitar is not easy at all for me. The guys and gals that can really do it have been at it for years and it's second nature.
Killer intro!
that phantom tremolo dive on 0:11 :)
I'm hoping to tank it more regularly if i sound that way lol! Phenomenal honesty but great playing and technique throughout. Real talent 😉
Another world class guitarist putting out videos on UA-cam? I don’t know what I did to deserve all this wonderful content... but yes, please!
Shawn you're way too humble, as your chicken pickin' is top notch. Enjoyable video, thanks!
I shall be studying this for the rest of February, most of March (all of March) and probably well into April, June and July...at least. 😍
Thanks for the groovy lesson, oh humble sensei Shawn ...you is my hero :) I'm not even in the same universe talent-wise but the only way to improve oneself is by emulating & learning from la creme d'creme
PS- Brad Paisley's work is frantic & total insane dope ! (Vince Gill has always been one of my top inspirations)
Thanks so much! Vince Gill is so incredible.
