The fact that Henderson is not as much a household name as other fusion players like Metheney, McLaughlin, & Beck is just criminal! What a master of phrasing!
He was an instructor at GIT when I was there, '85 to '86. He was always so mind-blowing with creative ideas and unending chops. I also was able to see him live in certain settings that he was involved with at the time. Saw him with Jeff Berlin and Vox Humana way back then. Steve Smith on drums and T. Lavitz of the Dregs on keyboards. This tune here, amazing stuff! So hip of an approach to his phrasing!
Cannot wait until he starts getting past 14 YO then,,,,,,,,,,,,,Joking guys, I just saw the chance to put lemon mayo on your cotton candy there,, ,teehee.I love watching Scott stand in the one spot and get right into his style, his expressions and body twists, he digs himself an awesome FunkHole...
He's a stratospheric mind bender from Mars come to fracture our sensibilities with mind altering guitar and euphoric space shifting melodies. Hail the king!
I KNOW! but can he sing??? Im hearing Guthrie Gowan here, who came first, and why! and wheres Frankie bouy Zappa Zituated, and Steve: Vai? for the love of god , WHY the Floyd , why: why teh matallisc tone, the only one that uses Floyd is Jan Cyrka, !!!!!!!!!!!! A Hoodlum , Trevor Holdem tight as Im seettling fo less, just tried a 27€ pedal Tomsline Blues, and s exact ly eqd Jaazzz With my Strat( Yamaha Pacifica 112V
Why we like Scott so much? 1. Awesome phrasing 2. Cool rhythmic motifs easy to follow 3. Inteligent tension build ups And what is most important: he can leave pauses, which is not so obvious among us guitarists ;)
Hello fellow GIT alum! 1993-94 here. Scott is an amazing instructor for sure. Loved the several Tribal Tech concerts I got to see that year. Phenomenal performances.
I could listen to Scott play a thousand times and come away from every show hearing something I hadn't picked up on before because I was too busy being amazed by something else he did. Had the pleasure of actually seeing him live in 2006 and it is in my all time top five of all time. A completely unique and criminally underrated player. I don't hear his name mentioned nearly enough and that is a travesty.
our Brain and Mind fullness play a Huuge part on/in our bodies function: I have hand/finger=health ISSUES, BUTT: after having "stupid " beers with neihgbours outside, like today..., HEATWAVE n all, I tried one of my Yamaha Pac Strats , and I can play...I ... its like Ive played guitar since i was 14, and no im 57, this may sound silly, but our brains/bodies like more playing guitar than the surviving mode, taking care of ears, Kimmo , falling in love ( Randy Newman) 🐧
About 20 years ago when I lived in LA, Scott used to play at a tiny club in studio City twice a month, La Ve Lee. And I went to see him every chance I had. I must have gone to see him 40 times, no exaggeration. And that's exactly how I felt. Let's really think about this, $8 to get in, park 100 feet from the door, catch him from 10 feet away and for under $20, drinks, tip, cover and gas my mind was blown every one of those times. Good times.
The best thing about Scott is that he's hardly ever just noodly.. almost everything he plays is an actual intentional phrase that ties into something else or is a complete thought, he knows exactly what it will sound like before he plays it and he never runs out of ideas.. he is far from just a 'shredder' though he is technically one of the best guitarists in the world on top of his feel and melodic sense.
I dunno. Planning out phrases wouldn't really be improvising. Improvising is playing what you hear while you hear it, init? I'd simply say: he plays what he hears, and he ends up playing very sophisticated passages because of the work he put in expanding his abilities.
@@GCKellochyeah i didn’t mean planning in advance, just knowing exactly what he’s about to play will sound like as he’s improvising.. it almost always works
You’re absolutely right. well put! And he does hear what hes going to play before playing. That’s improvising on a very high level, and that’s why it never sounds noodly. And it’s too bad that what you’re describing is so little appreciated that SH is just not as widely known as he should, like many have said.
My thoughts exactly. It's the coolest riff I've ever heard. I'm convinced that once I transcribe it and understand the theory behind it, I'll have absorbed what I love about Scott's playing.
my friend dragged me out in the pouring rain to drive about an hour (on a Mon. night no less) to see Tribal Tech back in 99 after the Thick release. I had heard about Scott Henderson before but didn't own any of his material. All I gotta say is I'm very happy I went! This guy is amazing, I got a chance to chat with him briefly after the show and he was very cool. I bought the Thick CD after that and now own several others.
Off the hook! Holy crap is this guy great! I actually got introduced to Scott via his Musicians Institute videos; very simple lesson that sound insane. I had no idea he was a legend! More please...
Absolutely. He does take a lot of risks when he plays. He reminds me a lot of Jeff Beck. Not afraid to walk out on that ledge, musically-speaking. If he blows it, he blows it, but at least he tried. That's Beck through and through, and Henderson is the same way. You can tell Beck was a big influence on him. They also have a similar tone to their fingers. Those rich mids are there, and I don't mean his amp or guitar choice. I'm talking about his hands, the tone coming from his fingers and their connection/couping to the fretboard and strings. They become one. That's a rare quality in guitarists. This is a VERY-difficult song to pull off onstage with just a trio. Remember, the studio version has a Hammond B3, a guitar, and a baritone sax, all harmonizing together (and maybe even a second overdubbed guitar in there as well). And then you have the full horn section on top of that. It's like a trio trying to play "All Things Must Pass" in it's entirety onstage. It can't be done without a few modifications.
Una goduria per i buongustai della chitiarra elettrica. C'e' un po' di tutto in questo pezzo di S. Henderson - Funky, Fusion, Jazz fusion progressive. Molto bravo.
He's one of the reasons I picked up a guitar. I liked his old jazzier stuff w. tribal tech too. He's on my top 2 favorite guitarists of all time. Up there right alongside Hendrix type fusion. Love tribal tech and a big influence of mine been listening to him since I was 16 years old. LOVE THIS VIDEO! He's got only line class coming up. Ten weeks long only 20 in a class.
Every time i hear him i confirm my thought: he' s a great Jazz player, while he keeps considering himself a blues player.. not of that kind: Scott is a Jazz Genius!!
Even through a small speaker hearing that amp sounds like I’m standing next to a big 427 engine revving hard kicking out heat and shaking everything.. Lovin it. Exquisite playing.
Would be nice to have blues guitarists reacting to this performance. His phrasing is so outside the box. He has just strange ways to take you back home. A nice blues player is like a taxi cab ride where the driver is nice and is really good at telling a story. The kind that you ask them to please tell the rest, because the ride got short. This guy is kinda of an off-roader nutcase who knows what he is doing that is giving you a ride home through a "shortcut" while doing tricks and managing to drive through crazy obstacles. You get home with a "what-the-hell did just happen?" sort of face.
The fact that Henderson is not as much a household name as other fusion players like Metheney, McLaughlin, & Beck is just criminal! What a master of phrasing!
Way better than metheny McLaughlin & beck

Once again, Scott Henderson scorches the stage with FIRE!
Imagine being the guitar player, and you have to go on stage after Scott,lol.
best fusion guitar player ever (my opinion)
Scott Henderson is like the wine: while he becomes old he becomes better.
Cannot wait until he starts getting past 14 YO then,,,,,,,,,,,,,Joking guys, I just saw the chance to put lemon mayo on your cotton candy there,, ,teehee.I love watching Scott stand in the one spot and get right into his style, his expressions and body twists, he digs himself an awesome FunkHole...
+Marco Baldinazzo
Thats the case with most Jazz guitar Players same goes for Frank Gambale, Greg Howe, Jimmy Herring and Wayne Krantz
Check out a band called Marbin
His brings his own style which I've never heard before. It's intense and smooth. However he does it, Scott's tone is incredible.
He's a stratospheric mind bender from Mars come to fracture our sensibilities with mind altering guitar and euphoric space shifting melodies. Hail the king!
Trevor Holden is correct. It's science.

Wizard my man!
I KNOW! but can he sing??? Im hearing Guthrie Gowan here, who came first, and why! and wheres Frankie bouy Zappa Zituated, and Steve: Vai? for the love of god , WHY the Floyd , why: why teh matallisc tone, the only one that uses Floyd is Jan Cyrka, !!!!!!!!!!!! A Hoodlum , Trevor Holdem tight as Im seettling fo less, just tried a 27€ pedal Tomsline Blues, and s exact ly eqd Jaazzz With my Strat( Yamaha Pacifica 112V
also have arriving: VERTEX Dynamic Distortion V2 ( 98€s new), but Im getting old and the Tomsline Blues is Jazz!
Why we like Scott so much?
1. Awesome phrasing
2. Cool rhythmic motifs easy to follow
3. Inteligent tension build ups
And what is most important:
he can leave pauses, which is not so obvious among us guitarists ;)
Absolutely incredible. Just tremendous. Easily one of the all-time greatest guitar players ever.
3:23 aaaaahh such FLOW!
찐이다
Had the pleasure of being his student back in 1994/95 at GIT... what a great year in my life... always loved his playing, great guy as well.
Went to same year KIT...It was great!!
I must been playing together in LPW... ha ha..!
Yess ! Voce tem algum material (music book ) 1994/95 IGT ?
@@edsonlima2839 Infelizmente não tenho mais nada. Mas hoje em dia está tudo tão difundido com a internet. Dá pra achar tudo... Abraço!
Hello fellow GIT alum! 1993-94 here. Scott is an amazing instructor for sure. Loved the several Tribal Tech concerts I got to see that year. Phenomenal performances.
Im also git student ^^
Git foever
Ha - the lick Scott plays at 3:22 is the same lick Matteo Mancuso uses at the beginning of his video of The Chicken....
scott must have stolen it...3 years earlier
PLEASE SCOTT, DON'T HAVE THIS REMOVED! Your humble servant, Stratoblogster
That is Travis Carlton on the bass (Larry Carlton's son). Phenomenal bassist in his own right!
Hey, I didn't know that!
Totally agree, Robben Ford Live at Rockpalast with Travis Carlton and Toss Panos is phenomenal

He's so good I'm just gonna shut up and watch it again. And again. And again....
An American Treasure! Scott we LOVE your playing. 🔥
Well said
I could watch an entire concert filmed like this. Do we need more?
I wish there was more video of live Scott. This man is a wicked magician.
That other level of musicality
Incredible phrasing.... Amazing player
One of the most less mentioned & underrated guitarist.
He’s got the blues & jazz embedded in him.
Thanks Scott ! Please keep touring in Europe, it's always fantastic performances !
That song is insane.
3:23 tears of joy were shed.
My thoughts exactly. It's the coolest riff I've ever heard. I'm convinced that once I transcribe it and understand the theory behind it, I'll have absorbed what I love about Scott's playing.
kevinkmny how did it go?
The best funky blues for ever.
Take the mind of Miles Davis and the feel of Jeff Beck, the result is Scott Henderson.
Daniel Aurelio Galeazzo Don't forget Tina Turner's influence on Henderson.
Throw in a little Frank and Jimi :D
nobody has the mind of miles
Thanks

Amazing Scott as always!

Tribal Tech😁
don't miss him live. U will never B the same.
I love Scott the best....what a kit bag
Maestro at work. Great phrasing by SH
I love these ideas ...
Mr Travis Carlton on the bass 👍 had honor to meet Scott many times during my M.I time in early 90’s… unforgettable memories !
thanks ! thought that was Travis on bass , never saw him live but have seen his dad a few times decades ago.
I have seen Scott two times live... he really is the fusion guitar player at his best! Freakin' amazing!
awesome footage

but scott also influenced beck. it goes both ways.
What, you've never played "All Things Must Pass" as a trio? (wink)
still he's one the best guitarist in the world...
The lad is an absolute musical treasure. Fantastic educator and he kicks so much ass on the guitar it is unreal.

I like that he is very theory schooled. He knows the name of every note and interval.
talk about an underrated guitarist and musician
Every time i hear him i confirm my thought:
he' s a great Jazz player, while he keeps considering himself a blues player..
not of that kind: Scott is a Jazz Genius!!
your lines, your groove, your playing in general is just sick
Hats off to the bass player too .. tough time to follow the virtuoso 😂😆🤣🤘🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#staysafe
