Early 80s he lost his band on their way to a festival, played a solo set on a new digital guitar in front of a few thousand people. Was incredible, won't forget it.
I have this dvd "Night of guitars" and Jan Akkerman blows them all away he is the Greatest Guitar and has been since the 70 s all styles but on a good night he is unbelievable
If there was ever one single guitarist who encapsulated all of my favorite guitarists, and techniques and styles of every guitarist ever in history. That that one man would, and could only be, Jan Akkerman. The one man to show us all!!!!
One of greatest guitarists I've ever been blessed to listen to. He's a fine lutenist, also. His solo album "Profile" is an incredible whirlwind of genres and styles.
Just found him on youtube? Have you never heard hocus pocus by focus? This guy has been considered one of the greatest guitar players on the planet for a couple decades now.
Jan's always been so cool playing along side the best, 'cos he is. For all the ones who say "this one is God and that one is God" listen closely to Jan if you are learn'ed in the art of guitar you will see the truth, Jan is "thee" man.
I really want to know if this song has a name/recording cause I love it. Did some digging and found the Night Of The Guitars 2001 DVD tracklist, which I pulled all the Jan Akkerman songs from and listened. No luck! If anyone knows or finds it, I'd be grateful to know.
He is as good as jan. Ik like jans funky style, i dont like hiss jazz style, dont like his slowstyle. I love jans rockstyle and funk style. this is one of his best videos.
The reason this sounds so different from the rest is obvious...............................................................He's playing in DUTCH 😁😀😆🤣😂 Always loved his playing since the early 70's

De meest veelzijdige gitarist ooit.

Exactly, there is no other one who can do that so. OOOh yes I love the others, but he is indeed that one who can do all that. No equal.
Among the best things I’ve ever heard on the tube. Or, anywhere for that matter.
the tasty funky jazz licks of Jan Akkerman.
This is, amongst many other displays of astonishing musicality is why Jan Akkerman is one of the 100 greatest guitarists ever.
One of the top ten ever not 100 !
As one music reporter once said: Jan Akkerman is especially the best RHYTHM guitarist you'll ever hear!
Jan has "golden hands": he is one of the best guitarist all time.
I am proud that he comes from Holland, just like me.
I have a lot of his albums.
heb je ook platenspeler

Brilliant. Could listen for hours.

I think I saw Livingstone Brown playing bass for Robin Trower around that time.
Jan : the one and only !!!!
Genius 🎶
Uit de losse pols - Fantastisch Jan !

Just found him on youtube? Have you never heard hocus pocus by focus? This guy has been considered one of the greatest guitar players on the planet for a couple decades now.

I dont think most people understand what a hot performance this is...
Most people are soulless, braindead & *comafied* as it is!
Jan - MAGNIFICIENT but who IS this surprise guy on bass??????????????? Truly gifted
Jan's always been so cool playing along side the best, 'cos he is. For all the ones who say "this one is God and that one is God" listen closely to Jan if you are learn'ed in the art of guitar you will see the truth, Jan is "thee" man.

Yes he is. Very underrated. Been following him since the beginning of his career and the start of the band Focus. He's brilliant!
Underated brilliant player way up with the best should be more known 👏
Jan AKKERMAN is not fond of max exposure. He is indeed 1 of a kind good. @@andrearitchie6464
Great bass player and drummer to support him

The Jan Akkerman Guitar Clinic is now in session.
Clive Mayuyu drums and Livingston Brown on the bass
Who's that kid on the Bass, he's freaking awesome. But of course Jan never fails to impress either.
Superb, as usual.

PHEW !! ....
Listen to Funkology, 80's album of Jan. Quite a strong version as well, lasting at least 15 minutes.
Hocus Pocus-ing Baby!!!
Bass: Livingston Brown
He is as good as jan. Ik like jans funky style, i dont like hiss jazz style, dont like his slowstyle. I love jans rockstyle and funk style. this is one of his best videos.
funk rock
What's the title of this song selection. I want it on my Spotify.
The reason this sounds so different from the rest is obvious...............................................................He's playing in DUTCH 😁😀😆🤣😂 Always loved his playing since the early 70's
The bassist kinda reminds me of Larry Graham. And yes, that's a compliment... for those of you who may not know who I'm talking about.
Tessmage oh yess i know i was at Gent Jazz where he played with The Graham Central Station the inventor of the Funky Bass
what is the name of the tune?
Night of the guitars!
The bear i believe, certainly not "night of the guitars", that was, surprise, the name of this night with all guitarists
Ik dacht even dat Sjef van Oekel gitaar stond te spelen, maar het bleek Jan Akkerman te zijn met dezelfde bril.
@midibass1 Do you know who is the bass player?
who was the bass guitarist at Jan's gig?/////
Ami,s Groove right.
Jan is goed in funk, meer mijn stijl dan zn jazz. ook goeie bassist etc.
Het blijft een piemelaar. Zenuwslopend.
roma - rai 3.it
One too many zeroes on that !
Laat ome Jan maar schuiven....
I've never seen Jan wearing sunglasses .. is he winking at Joe Bonamassa?
Wouldn't we like to see Jan Akkerman playing with Joe Bonamassa - now that would be something special!!?
