Always been a big fan of Brian , does his own thing and doesn't seem to worry about the latest trends . Hope he keeps going for many more years
Setzer used to practice in the basement of Bernies Jet Set in Wantagh NY. He came to the back of the "cork and bib" for water. He usually wore these beat up pink spandex pants. Sort of like the New York Dolls look. I was washing dishes, never said no to the guy for water but the cook used to shoo him away. It must have 1977.
I am always in awe of Brian's guitar playing like no other guitarist.
True. He's got his own vibe. And it's super hard to play this way
Starting a rockabilly band in the 80's on Long Island, NY... dude had mojo
Correct, Massapequa is a town on the south shore of long island
I love my Gretsch. It’s a straight up rock and roll machine. I bought it used and somehow I feel like we were meant to find each other. It brings things out of me like none of my other guitars do. If you don’t own one, you should.
Hollow body or center block?
Used guitars all the way!
I've always loved the way Brian played - I think he's an underrated maestro of the guitar.
People use the word underrated too much. He is not underrated at all. He is considered one of the finest guitarists to come on the scene in the last 40 years.
And no one disagrees
He is not underrated. You can click on the video of any well-known guitarist and there is some idiot with an "underrated" comment.
King Brilliant he helped resurrect not one but two almost forgotten musical genres-obviously rockabilly with the Stray Cats in the late ‘70s and early ‘80’s, and swing with the BSO in the ‘90s. IMO, he’s one of the few legitimate musical geniuses left in the world. He seamlessly blends today with the past-some of his work sounds just like 1958, some of zooms into the future, and it all sounds GRRREAT!
Madcap Laughs the fans know that. People who write the magazines pass him by all the time, in favour of some 22 year old from Norway who plays 12,000 notes in a three minute song, or a guy that wore a kfc bucket on his head.
Bran Setzer is a world class musician and an amazing guitarist. He is a musician of a very high caliber up there with all the great guitar players in history.
Such a cool guy and fantastic player. Nice to see him just being a guitar geek like the rest of us musicians and talking about gear.
love this guy....always have ever since the early stray cats days....
This dude is one of the best who ever lived. I learned Stray Cat Strut 10 years ago just to practice, and so many of his licks still come to me when I'm in C, just happens without even thinking about it. Brian and Wes Montgomery are right up there. Always amazing when a guitarist leaves with you an impression on an entire key and/or region of the neck. I think key of C I think Brian. Thanks Gretsch for these videos with Brian!
Absolutley
Brian is what music should be , loved, original and enduring
I'm glad that Brian has been able to have the success that he's had after the Stray Cats went their separate ways.
Brian's drive and enthusiasm for the old music genres he plays has turned on so many younger people/musicians to the coolness of the classic Gretch tone and vibe. The Brian Setzer Orchestra knocks 'em out...
Keep playin' the cool stuff!
You couldn't of said better. Brian should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Yeah I saw Brian 5 years ago with both orchestra and second half with the stray cats. Socks blown off! He was amazing!
Brian's a very clever guitarist, and looking at a Gretsch semi acoustic is like looking at a 57 Chevy. Beautiful craftmanship.
I met Brian Setzer back in the late seventies when the Stray Cats were topping the charts. We are both Long Island guys. I was managing a club near Central Park South called Thursday's when in he walks with some friends and a big jug of wine. I asked him if he would mind checking his wine with the coat check girl and he just grinned and said, "Cool". No bullshit like you sometimes got from some celebrities in Manhattan. I quickly called up to the DJ booth and asked her to play "Stray Cat Strut" which she did immediately. Brian looked back at me and gave me an appreciative thumbs up. I'm sure he wouldn't remember this encounter but it certainly made my night! A real gentleman and a great guitar player.
I hate to pick your nit, but Stray Cat Strut came out in 1981...
@@MrJett1971 I may have the actual date wrong. I started working at that club in 1979 and was there almost 4 years. Be that as it may, meeting Brian Setzer was a memorable experience. Is there something in your past that requires you to unleash your formidable "wet blanket"? I'm sure you have better things to waste your time with.
@@jbrethel well played sir.
I bought it. Really difficult to find. Arrived yesterday. Wow... never seen anything so beautiful and the sound is amazing. A dream come true!
I just saw him on Saturday night and goddamn if those colors don't pop! Also, Brian is as good or better than ever. Such an amazing artist.
Brian was all about hot rods and rockabilly. He put his first gretsch together from parts like a hot rod. The cats were refreshing in a time of new wave! Live they were fantastic. If you showed up unsure, you left a fan! I was 13 when I got turn on thru MTV & WBAB on long Island. Go back and watch live footage now and it's just as good as it was 40 years ago!
That's a beautiful colour combo!
He’s a really talented guy that seems down to earth and would be cool just to drink a beer with
Tan sides and Root Beer Brown on the top and back would look nice.
Brian Setzer must be one of the best guitar players of all time👍
I could watch him sitting on that couch, playing that guitar, just riffing or playing something - for hours. Just in contrast to seeing him with a full band. He's so good I'd like to just hear him play solo.
Now this guy knows his guitar specs! Enjoyable to hear him talk about all the details!
Brian is a MEGA Guitarist, that great mix of Jazz, Blues and Country and the way he alternates between Flat picking and his fingers seamlessly is just great.. We are Lucky to still have him doing what he does best .. Rock,n,Roll 😝⭐️❤️🌞
his smiles in the intro clip warms me on the inside because nothing in this world is more heartwarming than an old man smiling and having fun :)
Brian is eternally young to me! xxxx
I bought this guitar 9 months ago. Got the greyish light purple one. Love at first sight. I took pause at it's high price, no tone control and just volume control, and I wondered if it could do all genres including R&B, soft jazz, funk, hard rock and country. This sweet thing does all these with ease. Loved that it had no pick guard. Dang sexy look. Plays as good as it looks. Fast neck like whipped cream. Hollow body gets controlled feedback at louder volumes. Volume control has slight high roll off at 90 percent solving the need for a tone control. Gretsch sound with TV Jones pickups tells the tale, seals the deal and is irresistible. Intonation is spot on and harmonically correct on all frets and I haven't changed the strings yet. No buyers remorse, no way. Heaven is hitting jazz chords unplugged on my couch Saturday mornings with eyes closed. This little lady sings. I call her the Rusty Rainbarrel.
How much it cost you. It looks and sounds so sweet
Michael Case , glad to hear it. 54 years I've been a Gretsch player. Love that you're lovin' it
Sounds like you really enjoy it!
Sweet review my man!
9 months and you haven't changed the strings!? Wow, I change mine every 2 weeks!
The man still has great hair!
Of course it's brian❤❤
The only thing more fun than listening to him play is watching him play. Damn he is fun to watch and listen to.
The bigband stuff was the greatest music ever
He's my favorite guitar player. He seems like a genuinely nice guy too - which makes me really happy. Keep on rockin' Brian! 💞
@Charlie Lester - Concert Memories I'm jealous and that's wonderful to hear! Glad you had a great time with him. I actually live in the same city as hime - but I've never bumped into him.
I bumped into him before a show in the parking lot of an Atlantic City Casino. This was probably almost 20 yrs ago. He was so nice. He spoke to me and my grandmother and was not in any rush. Terrific memory to have.
Charlie Lester - Concert Memories I had that same experience after a casino show in 2015. I took my copy of built for speed that Slim Jim and Lee Rocker had autographed, and managed to get Brian to finish off my nine year quest...
The man, the myth, the Legend....
I drove from No Ho to Palm Springs for a Setzer Concert . I was thrilled ! I had my girl, and my hot rod !
We drove forever in hot bumper to bumper traffic, got out of the car, at the Augua Caliente, went up to the glass door.. that had sheet of paper taped to it.
It read: Concert is cancelled for 4 months, please enjoy our complimentary band: Cool and the gang . 😖
We went back home . It was a MISERABLE ride, all the way back home .
We finally went, 4 months later...and the show ? Was incredible !
Dang I would kill to see kool and the gang
A genius at work.
Living rockabilly legend right there, great looking guitars too
Best live performer around. Cd's are always top notch.
Setzer will always be the man...and I love my Gretsch players edition...amazing guitar..!!
That guitar is gorgeous
Il est trop fort sans doute l'un des meilleurs guitariste du monde si ce n'est le meilleur bravo pour le retour des stray Cats j'ai adoré l'album et je les vois bientôt ....... Merci pour la vidéo 😉
possibly one of the coolest guitars i've ever seen. Another one to add to the list.
Neat. Love my 59. 6120
Nice collection. I'm more of a Gibson man, but his style fits perfectly. I've never owned a Gretsch but always wanted one. I pretty much play anything with strings or keys and got burned out on the road tours years ago. Brian is an extremely talented musician and gifted performer. I wish I had his energy .
Brian Setzer is such a dude!
A scary weapon of a guitar player, pure hot-rod, and lovely lax'd guy all round.
He's in my top 10.
Great looking and sounding guitar. Brian is an extremely talented gentleman.
I'm digging that blue/baby blue paint scheme.
Saw him back in the 80s, and got to speak with him after his concert in West Palm Beach. Amazing concert, cool guy. I could go for one of these guitars!
Get a Chinese copy and put the TV Jones in it, thats what i did....awesome guitar now
Brian Setzer rocks North Hollywood !!!
To all the elitist guitarists that always tell you you don't know how to play if you don't use tone knobs a certain way, Brian Freakin' Setzer just said this(yeara ago, but whatever) "We took out the tone knobs out because I don't use them." That settles it!
Brian is a legend
Yes. Beautiful looking guitars! Well done.
He reinvented himself after his initial success and still rockin.
Olah. Como. Consegui. Uma. Guita. Sou. D. Brasil
So....Brian Setzer has remained cool for how many decades, at this point??
Like, a bunch
All of them. 😉
500
Since birth
He's so frickin happy, I adore your passion my gorgeous man. You are unbelievable. 😍😍😍
Love Bri xxxx
guy always happy to play a A major !!
carl perkins way
love him!
I LOVE that guitar..nice finish..who needs tone knobs/extra wires?..those pickups sound legit..👍🎶💕🎸
Got the best Christmas concert DVD....ever!!
He is one fine guitar player!
These guitars are stunning & what a player!
You are amazing Brian, you Rock
Brian and guitar ...match made in heaven!❤
Amazing colour coordination with the shoes.
6120 is perhaps the most beautiful guitar with a sound to match.
I'm buying his LP of the Stray Cats in a couple of days. Really looking forward to it!! Love the music.
Awesome Brian..Love your style..both guitars & love your style of playing the darn thing...
That green Gretsch...
Buğra Sertel. No it is Ray Winston!
So clean sounding crisp!
One of the most underrated guitar players of all time
It would be even better if they reintroduced that Gretsch 1958 longhorn amp again!
Thanks, Mr. Seltzer.
He is so cool! Always was from when he was a you g kid Taking lessons from my grandfather, Henry in Massapequa long island
Not that it matters but all 1950s Fender colors were from car color charts.
Sounds like it matters to you
Jess Odlum OK if you must know I stay up all night rocking back and forth in the corner wringing my hands in sweaty despair over the fact that all 1950s Fender colors were from car color charts.
lol,both of you
I'm sure they were car colors. What were teenage boys daydreaming about besides girls. Cars and Rock n Roll
It matters. :)) Nothin better than your favorite guitar and/or car.
I see that 14 people are actual knobs
At the end why he was playing they the neck pickup, that thing REALLY sounded good.
Sorry. . ."At the end WHEN he was playing the neck pickup. . . . . Can't type. . . . .
I have a beautiful home-made Brian-Setzer-Orchestra logo on my
PT Cruiser's rear window !!
-Here in No Ho !!
What a beautiful guitar!! Love the color!!
Brian setzer is the rockinest cat in the galaxy ..hail,hail straycats
Why would you give this a thumbs down? Why did you watch it? What did you expect?
Some sweet sounds!
Def more clarity, and beautiful tone
gorgeous guitars
Nothing sounds like a Gretsch.If Chet Atkins and George Harrison played them,then that’s enough for me.
Long Live Brian
I went to his concert in San Diego on 7 June. It was awesome.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, go watch Brian play with Dickey Betts from 1984 here on YT. Prepare to have your mind blown!
Excellent sound Brian cheers
Thanks for showing me a $3000 guitar. I really appreciate it.
Love his style go cat go
I went to law school with a friend of his from Massapequa? named Jimmy Ram. We spent most of our time playing Pac Man lol but he always talked about how Brian used to play at backyard parties and was covering quasi heavy metal stuff like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc. I wonder how Brian hopped from that to Carl Perkins.
Wow that color
Very cool. Would love his guitars and just an ounce of his guitar talent
Great guitars, and a great player for sure!
Awesome design thanks.
That's some good guitar playing.
Brian est un guitariste fabuleux un phénomène dans l art d utilisé une guitare .
What a cool guy and a cool looking guitar. Does anyone know what kind of amp he is playing through?
Oooozes class does Brian ..
beautiful guitars
Wow! David Spade is a great comedian but I didn't know that he can also ROCK OUT on the guitar!
You got me with the lefty in the background. No room for any more guitars at the moment, though...
That's a beauty!
These would look so much nicer with them f holes bound in the same colour as the sides.
Chrome trim...
I started planning for a potential custom order and thought Id want the same color on the top and back, and a diff one for the sides and the neck. and I thought it would be the first one Id ever see with a scheme like that. Haha.
Beautiful Axe!
