Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2017
- Part 3 covers Reggie's work in the '90s, all the way up to his just-released solo album, Forever Young. We then dive headlong into his gear, as we look at his 1957 Stratocaster, heavily modified 1969 Custom Telecaster, Deluxe Reverb amps, and his pedalboard. Reggie passed away January 17, 2019.
Greatest guitarist you have heard...but never heard of. RIP
Those are the truest words I've ever heard...
Zac has done a fantastic job of preparing for these once in a lifetime interviews. We’re all very fortunate to have the opportunity to hear these stories.
Thank you! Zac
Zac, you did an outstanding job...Reggie's energy and memory were clearly limited but you tactfully gave him a comfortable framework for his responses and kept the pacing very smooth. Also, your great respect and affection for Reggie were impossible to miss, it was a first class effort! ...It was very bittersweet for me to watch these 3 excellent interviews with this wonderful and uniquely talented man as he was close to the end of his amazing life. Reggie had a very special talent; as he acknowledged, his musical ideas just came to him but then he delivered them with his rich, sweet phrasing that could make you swoon or raise the hair on the back of your neck...We will not see his likes ever again... RIP Reggie and thank you so much for inspiring so many of us.
Thank you. This interview was a true highlight for me. Zac
Parts 1, 2, and 3, a thorough interview indeed. Reggie Young et al were Memphis' and Nashville's version of The Wrecking Crew. I had no clue, but now I do. RIP, Mr. Young, RIP. And thanks for the musical memories.
Dear Truetone Lounge and especially Zac Childs. You dear Sir prepare and conduct a perfect interview. Thank You so much. What a treasure Reggie Young is and what a great tribute you have made.

You are so welcome. He is our favorite too!
Zac thank you for these priceless gems . You've done an incredible job. Very well researched. No stupid questions.
I've watched this several times now, A true guitar legend!!
This Truetone interview series is one of my favorite things on UA-cam. I've watched all of them now and they have been really entertaining, but also very enlightening as a music and guitar lover. Thanks for doing these Zac
Thank you for watching them. We get to do them, because the owner of Truetone, Bob Weil, loves to tell player's stories. Jamie films, Dana does audio, and I get to talk to the players. I love getting to do them, and am glad you are enjoying them. Zac Childs
Well done, would have been a shame for this great man's memories and kindness to go away with him...RIP Reggie !
Thanks for a wonderful three part series. Reggie's the best.
Agreed! It was such an honor to interview such a legend. I am hoping people will see this and realize will realize the impact he has had on music for 4 decades+. Please feel free to share, and subscribe if you want more of these type of interviews. Zac Childs
I had the opportunity to be around Mr Young a few times at American and Three Alarm in Memphis. Truly a very nice man and top of the heap guitarist.
Agreed. Zac
What a likable and gentle legend .may his gentle soul rest in peace forever..
Wonderful series and a tribute to a fabulous player whose music was part of my life's soundtrack. Thank you, Reggie and rest in peace.
Reggie was such a great guitarists!!!! Could you imagine owning one of his guitars???? That black telly with the double benders... OMG!!!! It should be in the Smithsonian!!!!!
Music history.Reggie Young.Love his Playing and tone...:-)
I do too!!!!! Reggie is my hero.
Zac, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the time and effort you put into preparing for this epic interview. I can tell that it was a lot. It clearly shows in the questions asked, and the understanding of the story line that you are so obviously well versed in. You skillfully guided the conversation while keeping the focus on Reggie the entire time. Well done sir.
Reggie is a hero of mine, and getting to know him a bit, only cemented that position. I knew we only had one chance to interview him, so I was extra prepared. Zac
@@TruetoneFX best guitarist ever
For a guitar part that fits like a glove they never came better than Reggie Young.
Thank you Zac for all the research you do before these interviews. Thanks for bringing up Reggie's album Forever Young. I bought it right after watching this. Wow. What a GREAT album.... in every way. Wow.
It is a great album, and what an amazing body of work. Zac
I loved all three of these.
Such a nice series with Reggie, grateful for these.
He is walking American Music history.
These videos are such important treasures!!!!🙏🙏🙏
Awesome that was so good! Thanks for sharing Zac. Well done!
It’s great to have these first hand accounts from the artists recorded for posterity sake and for the next generation of guitarists to see where it all came from. The baton is passed to them from the likes of Reggie to make history in the future.
I just love the playing of Reggie Young. So smooth...
The best.
Well, I think James Burton is just a little better.....;-)
James is another great one. I would love to interview him. Zac
Man, I hope you will......would be nice! Love his chickin' pickin'
im so addicted to the true tone lounge. Hopefully theres a lot more to come
Thank you! We are filming another one this month. Zac
I've enjoyed these interviews so much. Zac's preparation and wealth of knowledge is amazing, which made these interviews fascinating.
Thank you. Zac
Zac, you did it right, gave Reggie the respect he deserves, didn't rush him, helped whenever the memory got hazy. I wish someone had interviewed Chips and Tommy... thanks for this
You are the best interviewer in the history of interviewing. Thanks so much for giving us this insight into this musical legend.
You are very kind. Thank you! Zac
You're welcome. Subscribed.
Love this, beauty relationship, when you take the pick out from his strings. The bit about the Herzog resonates for Canadians! I was hanging with the guitarist from the Guess Who yesterday, he'd be delighted to know of the influence on Reggie.
I have a world of respect for Reggie. Yes! The Herzog is a Canadian invention, and Randy Bachman used it. Very cool overdrive/preamp unit. Thanks !
I'd be happy to connect you and Randy anytime, Zac. He's a pal, we're both on radio here in Canada Saturday Nights and have a mutual support thing going on. This three part with Reggie is one of the sweetest and most kind guitar events to watch. Full credit to you for making it look easy and so very loving. Thanks to Nashville Pal Marghie Evans for turning us on to it and you.
That would be fantastic! please email me at zac@truetone.com
Thats a great Reggie Young tune to kick off the video! Such a cool laidback feel..
Incredible interview, homework and respect. I appreciate that
What an incredible legacy. That's living life to the fullest. Envy this man musicians, you won't live long enough to have as much fun as this man did.
I checked out Reggie's music on Spotify after watching the True Tone David Hood interview, excellent music. Now this video has popped up in my recommended UA-cam list,. Looking forward to watching all 3 parts
Zac - great work on this. We can all learn so much from this wonderful musician and human being. Thanks indeed!
You are very welcome. He is the hero of most of the great players in Nashville, Memphis, and Muscle Shoals.
Thanks again Zac, I've really enjoyed this series of interviews...Reggie's a true legend.
He is. Please feel free to share this with others, and please subscribe.
Really amazing. It was so great hearing these stories.
Not many have stories with Elvis and the Beatles.
Truetone Absolutely!! Thanks for doing awesome interviews. Definitely my favorite UA-cam series. 👍👍👍
You are so welcome, and thank you for the very kind words.
Just listening to Forever Young now, because of this. Beautiful player and a wonderful person. Thank you for this interview, as well as all the others.
Thank you Zac for this excellent showcase of a legend- a class of one! Backing track of my life and a classy gentleman.
You are very welcome! Everyone on the team worked hard on it. Dana Weaver, Jamie Rowe, myself and Bob Weil.
Another great series. I like his musical sensibilities. I discovered he played on some songs that I didn't realize was him.
I look forward to each Truetone Lounge.
Thank you Dan. The show is about spotlighting these players that you have heard, and many times you didn't know it. I have followed Reggie's playing for years, and learned so much from getting the chance to sit down with him. Zac
RIP Reggie.
Yes.
Loving this series! Thank you!
You are very welcome, thank you for watching. Please share and subscribe. Zac
I have waited for this interview like a kid waits for Christmas. Nicely done! Reggie is not only a great musician but you can tell his heart is much bigger than his tone. If that's possible! Lol....Thank you Zac!
His heart is even bigger than his tone! Zac
Truly a hero! Funny story is growing up loving a certain set of songs and years later, finding out that one guy played on all my favorites. That one guy was Reggie!
What a great group of interviews Zach. Very important. Thanks and great job.
Much appreciated!
Great interview Zac!
Thank you for such a treat, growing up in Memphis this brings back great memories of the greatest time in music. Reggie is one of the greatest and most underrated guitarist ever, the man is self taught could not read music had only 1 guitar and came up with some of the greatest riffs ever recorded. Thanks for telling his story in which you did a wonderful job. It is a shame more people don't know about Reggie or for that fact any of the great session players who without their contributions there would have been no hits, yet they profited none, it was a job that they loved doing not caring about the fame. I will post this on my facebook page and urge everyone to pass it along. PS I ordered Reggie's album and it is beyond good the title fits it well, Reggie is 80 years young and still making great music and doing something he loves. Thanks again Michael
You are very welcome Michael. Thank you so much for posting that, and for sharing the video with others, that is a huge help. Also really nice to hear from a former Memphian, who really appreciates the great guitarist that were part of that scene.
Absolutely loved this! Great series!
Reggie's playing is all over popular recorded music of the last 60 years. Zac
So good to see you interview one of our great Guitar Legends Reggie Young. How about another Guitar session Legend, my friend and Producer, The great "Pete Wade" he was one of the "A" team and his Mentor and Musical father was The great, "Grady martin" Pete has played on countless Hit recordings for as long as I can remember. How bout remembering Pete? PS.. Love your show.
Amazing content with these videos, Zac! A real gift to guitar players and the music community. Thank you Truetone!
You are welcome. Zac
Wow, just wow. I've put Bill Lawrence Wilde pick-up's, THE Reggie Young set, in four different Strats and they always sound perfect. Of course NOBODY can play 'em like Reggie. What an inspiring gentleman. Thanks for the awesome interview!
I just got a set of those pickups, and looking forward to installing them.
@@TruetoneFX Becky and Shannon are the best @ Wilde Pickups. I've put many different models of Bill's pups in Teles, Strats and working on a LP build with his L500's. Make sure you put his Q-filter in, that's where that 'acoustic' neck sound comes from. Tonal bliss.
Terrific interview. Miigwech for sharing.
Thank you for watching. Zac
Reggie is so cool!
Wow Reggie guitar parts so tasteful amazing !!! God bless you brother
One of the all-time best. Zac
Absolutely

Good bye Reggie...well done!
ditto to all the other comments. Really great Zac. UR the best
Thanks Zac Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Keep Picking Buddy You Are Great
Happy new year
In 4 days we’ll remember the passing of the great Reggie Young. Over the weekend I bought his instrumental album Forever Young from iTunes. It’s great!
Fantastic album!!! Zac
Truetone I think a Fender Deluxe Reverb is in my future, just not sure when. The opening minute or so of the first song “Coming Home to Leiper’s Fork” sells that amp to perfection. Of course the other songs sell that amp too too but the tremolo in that intro is unbelievably good to my ears.
The Deluxe Reverb is my favorite amp! Zac
Truetone I can’t afford a vintage model but I see the ‘65 and ‘68 reissues are available. In your opinion, which reissue is closest to what Reggie used? I am after the clean Fender tone with loads of reverb and deep tremolo. I might put a Route 66 or an OCD in front of it periodically.
Great great interview. Heard the name for many years and finally dug in…Cocaine!…who would have thought…Beatles connections….love hearing how Chips stood up to Elvis’ thugs…and a Fender guy all the way…working man blues!
great host great questions-knew how to gently prod him for good stories.
What a nice man
What a guy
R.I.P. Reggie
I read somewhere that Reggie played electric sitar on Hank Williams, Jr.'s 'A Country Boy Can Survive'. The twang that thing makes, makes the song.
It's him!
@@TruetoneFX
Thanks for the reply Mr. Zac. So many great unsung musicians we've had that came from Reggie's era.
20:46....”but it’s hard to play”.
Funny how guitars are so seemingly identical, yet ask a player and they’ll tell you they’re anything but. I remember Ed King talking about the Fender he cut Sweet Home Alabama on. Said he hated that guitar. “I can listen to the track and hear myself fighting it all the way through”. I guess that’s why you can’t just order one and expect to be happy. You gotta sit with it a bit.
The Relic Nocaster is at Swampers, in the Muscle Shoals Marriott. Zac
I’ve got to get over there. I’m in the Memphis area, so it’s not too far from me. I’ve been through that part of North AL many times, but always in route to somewhere else.
Zac, you do an awesome job. The Lounge deserves a half million subs.
love & respect mr young as one of the greatest of a ll time, but pulling gear info outta him is like pulling hens teeth, guess he likes to try & keep some secrets
His hands can make anything sound good, and he is much more into finding gear he can be comfortable with, and just playing music. Zac
Those hearts from his wife say it all, as does BB King’s signature.😑
Sadly these session musicians received no royalties
