The year was 1965 .My parents bought me a new SG Junior.I spent more time sittin on the edge of my bed picking up the phonograph needle over n over an over tryin to learn Johnnys licks. i got his autograph 3 times .Stood outside the tour bus in Santa Cruz Ca. an watched him in the window sittin at the table with a bottle of vodka and a box of Rice Krispys .HE WAS SPECIAL .

Thank You for sharing all this with us, If everyone was like you the world would be a better place. Sincerely Indian Terry
@@chriscojeen9804 Chris it must have been close to 4 years ago that I wrote that cuz im 69 y.o. now . But I sure do miss Johnny his rock/blues was like nobody else. Still brings a tear to my eye thinking about him being gone and I havent listened to Tokabilitor in a while because it reminds me of all the good times with my friends that are gone also. My phonograph needle about wore holes thru Progressive Blues Experiment !!! HAHA how bout Johnny in that poncho with a prince valiant hair cut. God love him. Have a Blessed day..... Edgar?? Edgar who??? Yaaaaaah ROCKNROLLLLL !!!!
That was the absolute most outstanding rendition of Johnny I’ve ever heard!! You own this style. If I didn’t know better I say it was him. You have the explorer tone on the SG too!
Johnny is a legend. Just seeing you play his licks make me love Johnny even more. What an underrated guitar player. How is he not in the rock and roll hall of fame!!!
@@privateer0561 in my opinion he is underrated. Never discussed much when I hear people talk about their top 5 or top 10 favorite guitarist. And he isn’t in the rock and roll hall of fame.
Johnny winter. Big influence on me. Thanks for this. Never had proper lessons. Just a need to get something out of that guitar I bought when I was 14. Thanks to Johnny and all the greats that gave me lessons through my speakers and decades of listening
Thank-you so much for this blast from the past, I'm 62 yrs young ,I'm a drummer and learned to play drums from the Album ,Johnny Winter And Live...,Love your playing, saw Johnny 5 x live , Don't take these video's down, you just gave me a reason to keep playing drums. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the upload. You're an amazing player! My hearts heavy today. I probably spent more time listening to JDW than any other artist growing up in the 60s and 70s. Watching you play Rock Me slow mo made me appreciate his talent even more. As an average player, I think it would take me 2 years to learn it like you did. Great vid. RIP JDW. You will always be with us.
Absolutely stunning!! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful version. You're an outstanding player who captures the essence of The Master Johnny Winter RIP!
Seen Johnny Winter 4 times the last time I seen him he came out on stage did not say a word and started ripping for 40 min all he said the was Oh-Yeah, A true Master love it.
Any fool crackin' on this guys picking is an idiot. Been listening to Johnny since the late 60's and this guy is as close as it gets to the real thing.
Anyone who who introduces themself to the world with a handle I own a gun with a profile pic of Jimi Hendrix should not be tested. Do as the man says! 🤘
I was shocked to find out that Johnny played through a Music Man 4x10 and a single chorus pedal. Treble maxed mids scooped to zero and bass as well never higher than 2. What a treat to come across this video. Rock on Sir!
I hope you haven't "retired" and that you're still playing. When you take it to the level you've taken it to, it 's become part of who you are. Keep Rocking ! If only to keep our sanity and cause you're great at it.
@Mary Teresa Guitarists don't retire from playing. They only retire from using it for work. We continue to feed our souls and entertain others until the day we either die, or sadly in some cases, are disabled to the point it's impossible to play.
Ha...yes! Totally kickass! I forgot just how friggin' fast Johnny's fingers were back in the day! And this is an exceptional cover...nice lesson in hot blues licks!
Holy Cow, what a spot on version of Johnny's song. I could have easily thought I was listening to Johnny himself. But what impressed me more than anything else was that you made it your own. Great job.
Thanks for this amazing video! This is exactly what I needed to watch to help me escape out of a long struggle with pentatonic cliches. So many cool little things in this video that are relatively easy and sound great! Thank you!
This album i has to be one of the greatest rock/blues records EVER. I Iknow every lyric and every lick in my head to a note. Never really tried playing it because my skill set isn’t quite there but I’m going to give this a shot! Thank you for posting!
That is Beautiful Man. Saw Johnny Winter in a small club in San Jose back in the early 80's. He was less than 4 feet away from me the entire show. I did not learn a single lick that night, I was so overwhelmed. Thanks you so much. Cheers...
Awesome. Johnny W is one of my all time favorite pickers. You video is great! I never can get enuff of watching him or his fans playing in his style. Thanks! ;)
I didn't realize the way you played it is not faithful to the original. I think it is beatifully played, truly amazing. Don't take it off youtube, it is a blues licks clinic. Great job.
Great work! I would say you have really nailed all the essential parts (and added a lotof other great Johnny Winter licks that fit in perfectly. Thanks for sharing this!
I was just on to find a good SRV tune to learn , testify , for to impress a friend ... JDW makes hay out of it ... this is truely STANDARD...the SG is un perfecto , like crazy man , diggit !
This is a fine tutorial on Johnny Winter style. I think the phrasing is very Johnny. Having been a JW fan and player for decades I give you my seal of approval.
I saw Johnny play live in the 80s when he was alligator records era. you got this song nailed..can't find any vids of Johnny teaching guitar..this the next best thing.
I play guitar and JW is and always has been my favorite guitar slinger of all time. Ive made several comments on this site and once again I’ll say this is the most informative and baddest ass guitar lesson EVER put out on UA-cam. Thanks my man!!
Cheers. This is great! EDIT: One month later and I almost got this down. This is a great pentatonic warm up, so many tasty licks. Thanks for the challenge and making me a better player. Soooo many notes.
Seen Johnny play this live once and during the vocals rock me baby he was play up on the 12th fret, I see he played it a couple of different ways over the years.
That's one of the best covers I have ever heard... Thanks. I'll try to learn this in two months non-stop practising! Greetings from a Gallagher, SRV, LAlan Haynes and... Johnny Winter fan xd
awesome!!!! I really think Johnny is a sorely underrated guitarist! You obviously did your research because this is him and a nutshell. Love the song one of my favorites
Oh yah!! Awesome job!! What a treat!! Im on it!!! Thank you!
6 років тому+1
Perfect, and an absolute joy to watch. You nailed the sound too! Im inspired to practice! Thanks for the great guitar lesson. Much appreciated. I bet youre a Texan.
omg dude that was freakin awesome ive played guitar for a while and im not even close to that good but you have given the desire to practice harder thanks you r a inspiration
Some dude was teaching zz top licks but this dude is 10 times better I've been playing 30 + years and never was a shreader or like Eddie or any like fingertapping maybe some but never used a wammy bar lol. This dude has more soul than any shreader great job.
Great playing and tone...really deep down there in the muscle fibre of this great form of playing. Inspirational.(clearly need to add a photocopier to my rig! LOL)
Sounds F'ing cool Close enough to the studio version to satisfy the JW addict, with enough variety to make it interesting. Your phrasing and sensibility really mirror Johnny's pretty closely, making the presentation very convincing Your tone is absolutely spot on BTW, guess that's a Gibson SG? Keep on rocking
Man I'm 60 years old, I listened to Johnny since I was 13 or 14, over and over again, I know you nailed it and probably cleaner! You can practice your singing too!

Sounds like me!! Playing an SG Jr I got out of pawn shop at 14, and learning winter's songs off the record.

There is a lifetime of blues guitar licks on this video.thx again. Nobody plays blues like Johnny
Excellent, I spent hours learning this tune when I was about 15. Johnny Winter at his finest, RIP.
That was the absolute most outstanding rendition of Johnny I’ve ever heard!! You own this style. If I didn’t know better I say it was him. You have the explorer tone on the SG too!
its a firebird, but yes, all you say it's true.
Johnny is a legend. Just seeing you play his licks make me love Johnny even more. What an underrated guitar player. How is he not in the rock and roll hall of fame!!!
There's always one person in the comments section who claims one of the best and most venerated guitar players on the planet is "underrated". Go home.
@@privateer0561 in my opinion he is underrated. Never discussed much when I hear people talk about their top 5 or top 10 favorite guitarist. And he isn’t in the rock and roll hall of fame.
Well played....Met Johnny a year before he sadly passed away. You certainly do his playing justice and hell yeah you are a great guitarist yourself!
Johnny winter. Big influence on me. Thanks for this. Never had proper lessons. Just a need to get something out of that guitar I bought when I was 14. Thanks to Johnny and all the greats that gave me lessons through my speakers and decades of listening
Damn! This is a straight up blues-rock guitar CLINIC. Will def be analyzing some licks and digging into this. Sounds awesome.
I love it when a song is played correctly and a guy takes the time to do it right! This is awesome! You nailed it!
Great job! I had the pleasure of seeing JDWIII a number of times, and you honor his work.
Thank-you so much for this blast from the past, I'm 62 yrs young ,I'm a drummer and learned to play drums from the Album ,Johnny Winter And Live...,Love your playing, saw Johnny 5 x live ,

you're one hell of a guitar player
I love how some people criticize this guys playing. He just plain out rocks so shut the f up and show me how you could do any better..
Exactly

thx for your comment. Since `78, I retired many times, but started again a few years ago ´cause joined a blues rock band.
I hope you haven't "retired" and that you're still playing. When you take it to the level you've taken it to, it 's become part of who you are.
Keep Rocking ! If only to keep our sanity and cause you're great at it.
Tell us more about the SG and what you are playing through. Thanks - super awesome playing and tone!
Agreed man, have you recorded ?
You are amazing brother.
@Mary Teresa Guitarists don't retire from playing. They only retire from using it for work. We continue to feed our souls and entertain others until the day we either die, or sadly in some cases, are disabled to the point it's impossible to play.
Fantastic. As someone with this lick knocking somewhere around my head it appears I have come to the right place. Thanks!
Love this era of JW. Fantastic album. Nice playing and tone.
That's real good. Great job channeling Johnny! Really faithful to his sound.
Ha...yes! Totally kickass! I forgot just how friggin' fast Johnny's fingers were back in the day! And this is an exceptional cover...nice lesson in hot blues licks!
Fantastic work Brother, thank you and Cheers! Sounds great, really got the"Jonny" vibe!
Holy Cow, what a spot on version of Johnny's song. I could have easily thought I was listening to Johnny himself. But what impressed me more than anything else was that you made it your own. Great job.
Absolutely Fantastic !! I know my Johnny Winter, and you make the blues proud. You are so calm at it !! Gifted beyond. SJRP

One of his best
My all time favorite from Winter. Smokin' hot work, my brotha! Johnny's rockin' with God now...)
Superb playing. Really smooth
Man o could watch you play all day.
Cheers. This is great!
EDIT: One month later and I almost got this down. This is a great pentatonic warm up, so many tasty licks. Thanks for the challenge and making me a better player. Soooo many notes.
Seen Johnny play this live once and during the vocals rock me baby he was play up on the 12th fret, I see he played it a couple of different ways over the years.
Amazing playing. Your band must have been popular. I'll be using this to get some licks for when I do it with my band. All the best.
That's one of the best covers I have ever heard... Thanks. I'll try to learn this in two months non-stop practising! Greetings from a Gallagher, SRV, LAlan Haynes and... Johnny Winter fan xd
Boo Yah, well done. I can't top any of the compliments expressed thus far but i am truly impressed.
Brilliant Played with real love of the song,I want an SG Now!!!!!
Fabulous and inspirational playing. 10/10

Not only do you have the notes down, you got the tone.
Oh yah!! Awesome job!! What a treat!! Im on it!!! Thank you!
Perfect, and an absolute joy to watch. You nailed the sound too! Im inspired to practice! Thanks for the great guitar lesson. Much appreciated. I bet youre a Texan.

Your tone is absolutely spot on BTW, guess that's a Gibson SG?
Keep on rocking
Feeling it, like Johnny.
Ausgezeichnet!!! Makes you realize how much SRV got from JW. Keep 'em comin'!
Man I'm 60 years old, I listened to Johnny since I was 13 or 14, over and over again, I know you nailed it and probably cleaner! You can practice your singing too!

Lots of goodies going on here ... thanks so much!
This is someone we should and do know! 😎He’s too good! Like to see his face!! 😉
What a great rendition. Totally bad ass.
