    In his time, Terry wasn't as underrated as people today seem to think. Chicago sold millions of albums, had a solid college crowd following, toured more than any other band in history, filling seats with countless more millions. These Chicago fans knew who Terry was, and they still do. Chicago band members were kept under wraps by their management, the band them selves were literally at war with most of the critics of the time, and Terry was known for insulting the entire country of England when he said in front of a live audience that one of their guitar hero's sucked. Chicago, along with Terry, were purposely omitted by the critics for these reasons. Terry was a true innovator, a true artist and a powerful force musically. His leads and rhythm work are nothing less than stunning. Thank you for taking time to show case some of his work, excellent job!

    I loved Chicago and especially Terry, he was my guitar idol. I saw Chicago a number of times, the last time was in Vegas at the Aladdin in 1977. I've got alot of slides of the band that night, in those days you could walk up to the stage and take pictures. He was one of the Greatest and the driving force of Chicago.

    I’m a dozen years younger than Terry would be. Chicago Transit Authority was one of the first ten albums I owned. Two years ago I build a clone of his famous late 60’s telecaster. Chopped Tele bridge plate, 6 saddle. Strat trem bridge, routed correctly, the PAF in the neck. I passed on the stickers and the extra string trees. Is it my fav Tele? No, my Jeff Beck 50’s Tele clone is - but I’m not a Strat guy - so my “Terry Kath” comes out whenever I want a wiggle stick or a humbucker - so, frequently!
    Great vid. Well demonstrated.
    Thanks for doing a Kath vid! He’s why I’m a dedicated Tele guy. Currently 5 of my 12 electrics are Teles - but I’ve owned and played 45-50 Teles over the years.
    New sub.

    Terry Kath is my all-time favorite guitarist. I'm almost 60 and grew up listening to Chicago. The Terry Kath albums from CTA to Chicago XI were the best. He had such incredible range in vocal and guitar playing styles. Songs that come to mind when I think of Terry are of course "25 Or 6 to 4", but also "Poem 58" (a MONSTER of a funky track led by Kath!), "Introduction", "Liberation", his parts in "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon", "Dialogue", "Wishing You Were Here", "Byblos" (yes, a ballad, but a Terry Kath ballad, and a deep track beautiful song on Chicago VII), "Once Or Twice", "Mississippi Delta City Blues", "Uptown".

    Prince also said Kath was one of the greats and listed on his top 10. When people as talented as Hendrix and Prince say youre the GOAT youre the GOAT. Kath is seriosuly underated cause he looked like Bonzo on guitar and Chicago was for a more sophisticated rock crowd. Kath has a daughter that made a doc to bring to light what Hendrix and others said about Kaths superb rhythm and lead guitar. Listen to his isolated tracks on you tube Kath was an open channel like Stevie often and his rhythm playing was so funky and in the pocket the guy is a true all around talent but raw which is really what a natural guitar player is.

    Terry Kath even plays some Middle Eastern stuff on "Poem 58" around the 2:20 minute. Such an eclectic player who was overshadowed by later success of Chicago, and being in a band with 7 other guys (my favorite line-up; I think they were best in 74 album/live).

  • @davidjudson6710

    David - thank you very much for this excellent post. I remember the first time I heard Chicago Transit Authority and, in particular, Terry's incredible solos on Q67 and 68, South California Purples, I'm A Man, etc. It was 1971 and I was 15. I studied those solos by turning my turntable from 33 to 16, listening to them at half speed. 50 years later I'm incredibly fortunate to be the lead guitar player in a Chicago tribute band here in Dallas, and I'm still struggling to play them like he did. (Of course Terry never played the same solo twice, but we are a tribute band after all). These samples from your video really do a great job capturing the creativity and intensity of Terry's playing. You, by the way, are a terrific player yourself. Thanks again for doing this.

    Terry Kath’s 1970 solo on “25 or 6 to 4” at Tanglewood cements his legacy as one of the most gifted rock solo guitarists of all time. I do think he was better than Hendrix, Clapton, Page and Duane Allman who all stood out as pioneers in the early 1970’s. What a crushing to music he, Hendrix and Allman were. May they Rest In Peace.

    Late night lessons is my favorite guitarist channel! The most humbled person on this planet, whom you can learn a lot! For example I have just discovered Terry, after listening tonnes of Gallagher, the algorithm just gave him to me, and I was thinking to tell late night lessons this, but already has a class about him, and I was soooooo way shocked, like.... Man this channel is the best! There is Gallagher, Bolin, Terry and I think they are the real pioneers and of course Hendrix too, but not Page and Clapton... Compared to them, Clapton and Page are like middle class players...
    And there are many channels on youtube, where not the music but the maker is important, and there is an extremely big hype for nothing as like Paul Simon... I hate that guy, he climbs on you and get in your face with tricks and manipulation for the youtubers... Like Chris Buck, Late night lessons they are real pioneers, humbled people whom you can learn a lot!

    I was watching a video that talked about how they toured with Jimi Hendrix, and Jimi said Terry was a better guitar player, and Terry said Jimi was better. I think they were both better.
    Edit: 7:22 I call that one _The Jeff Beck Key._ It's one of the pentatonic scales you come across if you keep moving each note of the minor penatonic scale up one scale tone _within the diatonic_ minor scale. You come across the minor pentatonic two more times and two of the Japanese modes as well.
    Also: Just wanted to say to whoever automatically always dislikes my comments here. I can say with 100% certainty I just finished liking your comment if you left one. ^-^

    LNL, Hendrix used those bends with an echoplex on albums Crash landing and Midnight Lightning by Alan Douglas producer. You would make a lesson on those types of hendrix country double stop bending. Hendrix was going to make an album with Chicago in 1970 which the trombone player confirmed it was true. Dawayne Bailey from Chicago had some 80's licks you can make a lesson Dawayne Bailey

    Terry era un guitarrista con una técnica, que le permitía sacar toda la fuerza física que poseía, con un oído perfecto y una voz fantástica
    Nunca repetía sus solos siempre improvisaba
    O los tocaba de forma diferente
    El decía que no ensayaba, solo calentaba un poco antes de la actuación
    Cómo compositor en mi humilde opinión, no era gran cosa, pero tenia detrás a dos macnificos músicos, como Lam y Pankow que con sus arreglos dejaban sus canciones muy por encima
    No me gusta comparar a Hendrix con Terry
    Són dos grandes guitarristas y cada uno brilla a su manera
    Creo que sentían admiración uno del otro
    Y esto ya es una prueba de que eran grandes
