What a fantastic player Shelton is. This whole interview surprised me of how actually good he is, he went from rockabilly, country to Segovia and Bach. Fender should make his own signature Tele 52' is an understatement. There is a reason why all of these known musicians hired him.
Shelton is like a national treasure for his guitar ability and his amazing list of credits. There was a point in time I thought there must be all these great guitar players in all these different bands, turns out it was this guy, and perhaps a few others. Thanks for the great contributions to music Louie!
How could there be any thumbs down ,this is the one of the finest melodic guitar players in history! Awesome interview too, just a great inspiring 40 minutes!!..thanks
Louie obviously still loves to just play guitar. It's a pleasure listening to him tell old stories and talk/play guitar. Still looks pretty good for 80 too. God bless him.

Enjoy the view Louie you've earned it
Louie Shelton and Tommy Tedesco and Larry Carlton are my favorite Guitarist of all time grew up listening and emulating Louie's riffs on guitar and never knew it until the internet I wished I had him as my guitar teacher growing up thanks Louie.
I played a show where Louie was filling in for our guitarist. I didn't get as chance to speak to him and I wasn't told his name. From the first tune I knew he was world class. In the set break I spoke to him and when he introduced himself I nearly fell over. I knew of him instantly. I was only 24 at the time

Hi Rick. It was fantastic to meet you today at Gold Coast music. I am totally knocked out that you know and hang out with Louie Shelton.... what a legend! I have loved his playing for years and I've always admired the many styles and artists he has applied himself to. I am on the lookout for any gigs that Louie is doing around town as I've missed a few that I didn't know he was doing or I was playing a gig myself at the time. Thanks again mate for taking the time to chat to me today and I hope to catch you around sometime..... maybe even at a Louie Shelton gig! Cheers Wayne

This is such a great relaxed , natural interview and Louie's playing so bloody awesome, I must have watched this half a dozen times over the last 2 years ! 👍👍👍
Such a talent. You can tell he just loves playing. Just a tele into a delux is such an amazing sound. 67 year old gear and sounds better than most stuff built now.

I'm 52 vintage, heard much playing, never could myself, half hour of joy, I roadied for years, many fab players, this a cut above, thanks guys, massive respect ..
i could sit and listen to this man for hours. He's a living encyclopedia of guitar playing experience and lessons learnt. Really nice approachable bloke too.
The value of that '52 instantly increased. Louis is such a great player, gentleman, and interviewee. I always enjoy seeing and seeing him. Brother - "Leo almost got it right with the Tele." implying that the Strat was/is perfection. I'm surprised you said that. Louis, ever the gentleman, politely corrected that mis-step.
That interview was such a pleasure to watch. Playing from the 'heart and head' is what true music is about. What a great musician and humble guy Louie is and thank you Rick for allowing him to take the time to recollect his memories for us. It is so important that people like Louie are documented.

Sheltons great ,iv been watching a lot of his interviews. I played since 62, i relate to his music so much. He is a great guiarist. And knows all the big names.😊
What a dignified gentleman Louie is ! Guitarist, showman, producer, he must have played with half of the planet's professional musicians during his sessions and still remains modest and gentle... Is that a Vox Pathfinder in the background ?
I have a 1952 Tele. The newer ones - even late 50s, don't compare. There's one reason why they are SO valuable. They are not so thin and spiky, although they are still like a Tele. They have wooden warmth, kind of a sweetness - as you can hear here. They tend to be lighter (not much paint or lacquer at all) and easier to play than many later ones.

A living legend, no doubt. SEVENTY years in music, most at the highest level. And still going. I'm so envious of this dude, earning a real good living all of that time from doing something that he clearly loves. But also really pleased for him. Seems like he deserved it. A beautiful human.

His most memorable playing for me was on the Monkey's tune "Valerie." Aside from Jimmy Bryant I had never heard anybody play that fast, clean, and melodic all at once back then.
Mr. Shelton I think your one of the best guitar players in the world. I'm a drummer who's 6 years into playing the guitar and I'm 65 now, loved seeing these videos and hearing you play, just great, thanks so much for being the gem you are and your a really nice person as well, cheers !!!

And his lovely demeanor is so prevalent here,@@RickHollis . Thank you for your generous skills as an interviewer, and for shinning a light upon this amazing artist, for those who were in the dark about his gifts.
He was not under rated by no means. He was a first call player and I saw him every day for years in the studio. Unheard of maybe in the mainstream but always a top rated player.
@@aliceshaw8265 It's either really all about the music or all about the money - no half way house really. Bit like dividing the sheep and the goats. Not feeling free to share is a big problem - it means you're not secure on who you are. In guitar everyone stands on someone's shoulders as the efforts of others have been played around us all for 70 odd years now. I'd like to think generosity of spirit defines the greatest musicians who've lived and worked among us. Some people are more generous with their time than with their money, for some it's the other way round. That's OK we can't always help who we are. However some people are generous with neither - don't be one, we all only get so much time to make the world a better place. I think Louis has well and truly passed that test. Bless him.

Loved that little bit there he did on Chet Atkins. Always loved his stuff too! Thanks for this video! Great music to get your mind off all the craziness right now!
He does not look like a man born in 1941. I think it's because he got to experience a lot of the good things about being in the music industry without all of the bad things that come w/ the fame. What a cool story he has!

What a treasure! Thanks for this video. I bought a 1985 MIJ Esquire new. I played it for 7 years, 4 gigging. I sold it. I hate myself for doing that. It was my first good guitar and I miss it like Louie misses his. Best Regards and Best Wishes!
@@paulas1man to be fair, this was when I was between 5 and 10 years old, years before I ever picked up a guitar. And Louie didn't visit regular- regularly...like every week or anything. There were just a handful of visits that I recall... probably 5 or so. Under 10. So the only lessons he could have possibly given me would have been a few basic, beginner ones. Like..this is an A chord..sort of thing.
@@lueysixty-six7300 I'm just kidding with you man. Louie is just such a nice guy, it would have been a thrill to have just been in the same room with him. My dad played in a band when he was young. I was 5 years old when my dad would be jamming on some Jimmy Reed and other old blues artists. It was great as I remember it with dad playing his 1964 sunburst stratocaster with a maple neck and an old tube amp. It was a good time, but dad was no Louis Shelton. I am sure you cherish that memory. Good talking with you
An absolute studio icon and such a humble guy. His tone is still solid gold

Rick, thank you for not only providing a '52 tele, but the '52 tube amp, too! When Louie picked a little, the magic of a true maestro was on display. [big smiley face]
John Doe Thank you. When I got my hands on them for a day or two, I just HAD to have Louie come over and play it. Did you catch the live chat I just did with Louie a couple of days ago?
Brilliant interview. Thanks for the addition of a real 52 also.

Growing up in the 60s and early 70s, I heard Louie's brilliant playing, but of course did not know he was the guy. What a great guitarist.
Louie Shelton leaves all others standing choking in his dust- but he's just a down-to-earth guy.
NickRatnieks On top of a great career, Louie is a lovely chap.

Hi Rick. It was fantastic to meet you today at Gold Coast music. I am totally knocked out that you know and hang out with Louie Shelton.... what a legend! I have loved his playing for years and I've always admired the many styles and artists he has applied himself to. I am on the lookout for any gigs that Louie is doing around town as I've missed a few that I didn't know he was doing or I was playing a gig myself at the time. Thanks again mate for taking the time to chat to me today and I hope to catch you around sometime..... maybe even at a Louie Shelton gig! Cheers Wayne
Hi Wayne, was nice to meet you too. Hope to bump in to you again some time soon :)

What a wonderful guitar player. I could listen to him play for hours.
This is such a great relaxed , natural interview and Louie's playing so bloody awesome, I must have watched this half a dozen times over the last 2 years ! 👍👍👍
Such a talent. You can tell he just loves playing. Just a tele into a delux is such an amazing sound. 67 year old gear and sounds better than most stuff built now.
Not in my case my tele mij and sound better than a few vintages somewhere out there but yeah I agree depends
Great interview. Louie is such a great musician, and a very nice person.

I'm 52 vintage, heard much playing, never could myself, half hour of joy, I roadied for years, many fab players, this a cut above, thanks guys, massive respect ..
Thank you for watching.
Wonderful to hear how he opens up and plays fabulous stuff as the interview goes on. Fabulous player many thanks.
Absolutely loved this interview! A humble legend interviewed by a well-informed and respectful host. Well done and thanks!
Great interview, Louie Shelton Rules 🔥🔥🔥
i could sit and listen to this man for hours. He's a living encyclopedia of guitar playing experience and lessons learnt. Really nice approachable bloke too.
The value of that '52 instantly increased.
Louis is such a great player, gentleman, and interviewee. I always enjoy seeing and seeing him.
Brother - "Leo almost got it right with the Tele." implying that the Strat was/is perfection. I'm surprised you said that. Louis, ever the gentleman, politely corrected that mis-step.
That interview was such a pleasure to watch. Playing from the 'heart and head' is what true music is about. What a great musician and humble guy Louie is and thank you Rick for allowing him to take the time to recollect his memories for us. It is so important that people like Louie are documented.

Liked this session you let the legend do the talking very nice i subscribed
Thank you, Douglas. Did you catch the more recent live stream interview I did with Louie as part of my Chit Chats With Guit Cats series on my channel?
Most excellent. Thank you. The best musicians are humble. Magical ears and fingers.
...he covers Elton John's "Tiny Dancer". Love it.
Stunningly good. Tone, musicality, talent. All in abundance.
Boy these old time players are national treasures - what a treat to hear his gift.

A legend. It's hard to make a guitar sound more like a guitar than Louie does.

Mr. Shelton's time is perfect.
His ability to play perfectly in
tune , pure tones are a very
Rare Jem indeed.

The intro to "Valleri" by the Monkees is brilliant. I went looking for the player and found Mr. Shelton. He's amazing.
Excellent interview of a real legend. Great job!
Thank you, Al.

I set a Reminder! I may have to watch the replay, but i just love stories about how it "used to be" in music. It's always been corporate, but it seems like they had more room to work out and get over thier own ideas and personalities within that context. I will definately watch.
@@AlJohnsGuitar Thanks Al, I hope you enjoy it.
Always loved the telecaster... quite a unique sound... cheers from Mexico
Yo tengo un 1952 fender telecaster it was made from a man that was mwxican and American unbelievable works she soo responsive
Love this guys Louie Shelton. I especially enjoy playing his iconic parts on Last Train to Clarksville! He is the "music behind the music".
Louie Shelton is one of my favorite guitar players.Very fine feeling and very fine guitar sound. Mr. Shelton thanx for all the great music👍😎
And an absolute Gentleman to top it all off. I'll be having Louie on for a live chat in the next couple of weeks so make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell to be alerted when we go live.
@@RickHollisThank you so much for the answer and the information🙏 Ooooh yeah, a very fine gentleman and so natural. What time does the live chat start?
I live in Germany. Stay healthy.
@@giannidato5633 I haven't locked in a time yet, he is busy with some musical projects but I saw him last week. Within the next few weeks is as good as I can give you right now. Thank you for your kind words.

Sheltons great ,iv been watching a lot of his interviews. I played since 62, i relate to his music so much. He is a great guiarist. And knows all the big names.😊
What a dignified gentleman Louie is ! Guitarist, showman, producer, he must have played with half of the planet's professional musicians during his sessions and still remains modest and gentle...
Is that a Vox Pathfinder in the background ?
I have 2 Vox Pathfinders and an AC10 in here so without watching the video again, I’m gonna say yes. Louie is indeed a dignified gentleman.
Brilliant ! Sent this round the family…we all pickers,and all big Atkins/Bryant fans…best thing I seen in years,cheers from Manchester,uk.
I have a 1952 Tele. The newer ones - even late 50s, don't compare. There's one reason why they are SO valuable. They are not so thin and spiky, although they are still like a Tele. They have wooden warmth, kind of a sweetness - as you can hear here. They tend to be lighter (not much paint or lacquer at all) and easier to play than many later ones.
What a wonderful gentleman and what an incredible life story!
Wow, I've been listening to Louie all my life and never knew his name.Wow

A living legend, no doubt. SEVENTY years in music, most at the highest level. And still going.
I'm so envious of this dude, earning a real good living all of that time from doing something that he clearly loves.
But also really pleased for him. Seems like he deserved it. A beautiful human.
Thanks for doing this. Louie has been and is still a guitar idol for me.
You're welcome, Ron. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Great video!!!
For me the simplicity of the Tele is the beauty of it! It’s the last guitar I bought and it’s the one I play the most, and I have 7 electrics.
Absolute respect to you Sir, you are a talented musician who has learned your craft to perfection. A great guitarist and a truly humble gentleman.
His most memorable playing for me was on the Monkey's tune "Valerie." Aside from Jimmy Bryant I had never heard anybody play that fast, clean, and melodic all at once back then.
Mr. Shelton I think your one of the best guitar players in the world. I'm a drummer who's 6 years into playing the guitar and I'm 65 now, loved seeing these videos and hearing you play, just great, thanks so much for being the gem you are and your a really nice person as well, cheers !!!
Hi Junior, Virginia Brannon here, not many of us Barnyard Frolics kids left. Love to hear you play, Greetings from Little Rock!
Hi Virginia, so nice to hear from you..can you look me up on Facebook...I'd love to catch up.
@@LouieShelton this is inspiring hope y'all are able to catch up and i'm loving this video i mean my being a man who had no idea of your playing with T-Bone Walker or the jackson 5 really??? Cool

Absolutely wonderfully dedicated man to his talent
Could just soak him up for hrs all the sessions he's played coming thru in this
What a underrated musician . My god.
Yep, what a phenomenal career he has had. An absolutely lovely chap, too.
And his lovely demeanor is so prevalent here,@@RickHollis . Thank you for your generous skills as an interviewer, and for shinning a light upon this amazing artist, for those who were in the dark about his gifts.
He was not under rated by no means. He was a first call player and I saw him every day for years in the studio. Unheard of maybe in the mainstream but always a top rated player.
@@aliceshaw8265 It's either really all about the music or all about the money - no half way house really. Bit like dividing the sheep and the goats. Not feeling free to share is a big problem - it means you're not secure on who you are. In guitar everyone stands on someone's shoulders as the efforts of others have been played around us all for 70 odd years now. I'd like to think generosity of spirit defines the greatest musicians who've lived and worked among us. Some people are more generous with their time than with their money, for some it's the other way round. That's OK we can't always help who we are. However some people are generous with neither - don't be one, we all only get so much time to make the world a better place.
I think Louis has well and truly passed that test. Bless him.

Amazing. Lucky man to witness this legend in person. Loved the session with the old Fender amp. Piece of history there......
There will come a time when interviews like this, that combine accomplished artists with genuine vintage instruments & amps, are going to be a rare possibility. Thanks for sharing this Rick Hollis! :)
Well, no. It's just going to be a new generation of "accomplished muso's", and "genuine vintage instruments & amps".
Thank you. Jonathon. This was my first attempt at an interview and I'm still learning. More to come from Louie soon :)

Great interview. Love all of it.
Louie is just fantastic.
You can always tell a natural musician like Louie. I’m a ok bass player. Still playing. You only come across a “Louie” every once in a while.
Loved that little bit there he did on Chet Atkins. Always loved his stuff too! Thanks for this video! Great music to get your mind off all the craziness right now!
Thanx Guys, fascinating man, with a fantastic history, thanx again for sharing.
He does not look like a man born in 1941. I think it's because he got to experience a lot of the good things about being in the music industry without all of the bad things that come w/ the fame. What a cool story he has!
I can't believe I've never heard of this guy on guitar channels!!
I've been missing out for decades!
What a Great musician, Guitarist and human being!
What a really nice bloke and fantastic guitarist 🎸🏴🏴

What a treasure! Thanks for this video. I bought a 1985 MIJ Esquire new. I played it for 7 years, 4 gigging. I sold it. I hate myself for doing that. It was my first good guitar and I miss it like Louie misses his. Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Louie Sheltin and his wife used to come over and visit my Father and Mother as a kid. I wish I had have jagged some lessons from him then!
Yep you should be kicking yourself lol
@Luey Sixty-six My God Man, I probably would be sick everyday if I had missed an opportunity like that. Just meeting Louie would have been a thrill.
@@paulas1man to be fair, this was when I was between 5 and 10 years old, years before I ever picked up a guitar. And Louie didn't visit regular- regularly...like every week or anything. There were just a handful of visits that I recall... probably 5 or so. Under 10.
So the only lessons he could have possibly given me would have been a few basic, beginner ones. Like..this is an A chord..sort of thing.
@@lueysixty-six7300 I'm just kidding with you man. Louie is just such a nice guy, it would have been a thrill to have just been in the same room with him. My dad played in a band when he was young. I was 5 years old when my dad would be jamming on some Jimmy Reed and other old blues artists. It was great as I remember it with dad playing his 1964 sunburst stratocaster with a maple neck and an old tube amp. It was a good time, but dad was no Louis Shelton. I am sure you cherish that memory. Good talking with you
@@lueysixty-six7300 Mm - you can go quite along way on an A chord though! Angus Young certainly did - and he was far from the only one.
