    I worked at EB/MM 1999-2001, and probably cleaned up that amp when it was Sterlings - the Manual Phase Frequency Sweet spot trick is the big MM HD130 secret - always enjoy watching your vids! ( Steve Conrad)

    Johnny seems like the most honest and open, friendly, regular guy in the world. What a treat to share that time with him. He's a legend. Thanks for sharing Brad.

  • @noisefuljoy
    @noisefuljoy 4 місяці тому +32

    It is a blessing just to see Johnny's light shine. If he couldn't play, he'd still be shining. That's the kind of example this world, and especially me, need most.

  • @johnwelsh2769
    @johnwelsh2769 4 місяці тому +17

    I saw Johnny at 3rd & Lindsley playing with a group of studio guys. They launched into a jazz number, and all of the sudden Johnny was playing like Barney Kessel and Howard Roberts. He can do anything.

  • @cwize
    @cwize 4 місяці тому +11

    Johnny is one fine human being being. Speaks Ill of no one, humble despite being guitar royalty, and his absolute joy seeing all the things that amp can do was so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing this. Unguarded and off the cuff conversations are so refreshing.

    Johnny is a great guy! Last talked to him in person when he played at the Prairie Home Companion Show in Downtown St. Paul, MN. I ran into Johnny and his Mgr. outside during a smoke break Johnny was taking near the Ticket office. He’s such a kind and humble man! I’d first met him at The NAMM Show. God bless this wonderful guy and guitar picker!

    He is one of the most underrated guitar players alive. He can play any style with speed, precision, and some of the best tone/feel of any player in the world. I wish he had more content out. More people need to watch him play.

    I watched Danny Gatton at DAR Constitution Hall in DC when he opened up for Robert Cray. Danny played slide with a full beer and was spilling beer all over the place. Then he started wiping the neck down with a towel and played through the towel. It blew my mind back in the day. Danny was special. Back in 1985 I talked to him on the phone about taking lessons because we were both from Maryland, but he was way down in Southern Md and it was too far for me to go. Had I known he wouldn’t be with us for too much longer would have tried harder. He was a special guy and left us far too soon.

    This video is pure GOLD!! I WOW ! So many blazingly hot licks, too many even to count, the hours it must have taken just to figure out let alone develop the technique to play them, then speed them up to dizzying levels! I knew Johnny was great, but this is otherworldly greatness!.

    I saw a video of Johnny promoting a tremolo system and liked his playing a lot. Then I saw the video back when Brad fixed his amp and decided to get an album of his and now have four. I was going to get another one yesterday and didn’t so I’m going to pause this video and do it now. His guitar playing and personality are both incredible. He inspires me. Edit; got two albums!

  • @NoCantsAllowed
    @NoCantsAllowed Місяць тому

    Wow! What a master!
    Not only is he phenomenal at simply (haha... yeah right...) playing; he has the tone/song-choice recognition too.
    So often I see pros demoing amps as the maker fiddles with his knobs and they, the two guys... player and maker, just never seem to align.
    Johnny knew exactly how to use ALL of the tones you dialed-in for him - perfectly!
    So great.

    A long time ago the band I was in got to open for Bachman Turner Overdrive when they were reastblishing themselves. Randy was using two of the same Musicman amps as the one I had. And switching between the 2, 2×12 cabs and a 1x12 cab. When I saw Him play and heard his rig I thought to myself. Good enough for him... Then it's not my amp making me sound like the proverbial POS. Changed my musical life. Went on to get the best sounds I've ever had from that amp.
    On another note. Johhny. Wish I could touch anywhere close to what you can do with your picking and fingering skills.
    Thanks guys. Good Stuff!

    First time I saw him was in person down on Broadway in Nashville. He was playing orange blossom special on a good old fashioned blackguard butterscotch tele. He INSTANTLY became one of my all time favorites. He sounds mind-blowingly great in this video. What a sweet guy too!
