I met Walter back in 2020 at the NAMM Show and was totally stoked. I asked him if I could have a pic, he hesitated a second while reaching in his pocket and gave me one of his signature picks 😀And my dumb ass meant a selfie - glad he was so old school! Holding it dearly! AND got a selfie afterwards - coolest dude ever 😀and absolute shredder!
Thanks Lee for inviting Walter Trout onto your 'show'... What an inspiring man he is ! and... his musical skills speak for themselves... Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this revealing dialogue...
Great guest and probably the best “meets” yet. What a life and inspiration in adversity
Thank to Walter for delivering one of the most honest, straightforward and constructive testimony ever. A huge thank you to Lee for putting him at ease and offering us such a tasteful moment . A nearly one hour well spent that sums up many aspects of on and off life. I'm just wondering which book Carlos Santana gave Walter to read ?
probably The Bible
Without a doubt the best interview yet. He was so very candid with his crazy life. The man is a inspiration to every guitar player! And he can absolutely kill it on stage to this day. Cheers !
I saw John Mayall and Walter play in the late 80s. One of the best gigs ever. Mayall in those days was at his peak..fit, energetic..stood at a keyboard had a guitar slung over his back, harmonica holder and singing..pretty much did it all. Walter had to be good, or he wouldn't have been asked to Join..Mayall always finds the who's who of guitarists in every decade. living legend..seen him a few years ago..still doing it.

Been seeing Walter for 30 years. When I saw him at Holmfirth 3 years ago, I couldn't see how he would get through the show without dying.
I cried and cheered like never before. The man is a blues warrior. He has faced true adversity and kicked it up the arse. Never shy of coming out and talking to the fans after a show. Just a great great man. Thank you Walter and Fuck the American healthcare system that denied you what you needed. I always knew that you had the family and friends to help and your recovery has been inspiring. I know one day you and the strat will go make music with Jimmy again, but I want to see you a whole load more times before that !!!!
I was there, he looked so ill, amazed to see him now looking so amazing, great interview!
One of the TRUE remaining guitar heroes. Great interview Lee!! God bless Walter Trout!!!!
Beautifully explained with humility from Mr Trout. He is so sincere. Wonderful interview and so nice to see an interviewer who allows space. Thank you!
Best interview so far. The guy is a human being and a great blues player. They are connected.
Wasn't aware of Walter Trout until this video....my goodness, that opening jam was jaw dropping.
Thank you Andertons, this was a fantastic, insightful and heartwarming interview. Walter Trout is the MAN.
Never heard if this guy before, but I just checked out a random live concert, and holy shit he's the real deal!
I could listen to Walter all day, talking or playing. Great job, Lee!
What a story and what a man. Deep respect for Walter and how he has managed his life and career and without a doubt "the captain meets" episode I have enjoyed the most. Thank you.
Very emotional for me! Walter is pure passion and in transcends in his music and even here in this interview! Almost like he was born again and has a new lease on life and living it to the fullest! I couldn't believe it when I saw Walter featured on your channel! I have so much more respect for you and the channel now! Not that you need my support but this is tremendous positive energy! Thanks to you and Walter! Cheers from Thunder Bay!
Thanks Lee - this is the best musician interview series on the Internets!
My attention span is getting shorter and shorter as the years go by but, I was absolutely glued to that. Excellent interview, I loved the red line on the rev counter analogy. Walter is an erudite and fascinating guy. What a life! I've seen him live many times, the man definitely puts everything into every solo, I love his honesty and no bullshit approach. A true blues legend in my book.
One of the most interesting people I've heard talk about his life. He is a living legend after all, played with Canned Heat and John Mayall. Respect. I will hear him in Sweden in the spring of 2024. I'm really looking forward to that!! I realy love him!
Best interview ever ! Big fan of Walter ,thanks Lee and crew ! :-)
The introduction of the two guitars grabs your attention immediately! So cool seeing Mr Trout quickly roll back the volume on his guitar. Cool technique.
I was looking through CDs in the late 90s and came across this guy holding an old strat. Bought the album based on the cover alone. I have been a Walter Trout fan ever since 🎸
Great interview. Walter Trout is a monster guitarist.
This was an incredible episode, what a wild life Walter has had but what a player! ! 🎸😎
Yes, Mister Walter is my favorite blues man. Thanks
Great interview, thank you for not hooking into the drug thing too much, he has chosen to do so on his own terms, you are great in taking it to what’s important! You have got the gift of people telling their own story, your style of taking interviews and questions is quite extraordinary, you are listening and responding to your guests that they feel comfortable that they open up like he did! Well done mate!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So many things about Walter. First, his reference to Jesse Ed...he did mention Jesse Ed playing on the first three Taj Mahal records. He didn’t mention that it was his slide playing on TM’s Statesboro Blues that inspired Duane Allman to focus on slide. But to Walter...I had an opportunity to see Walter and his band at a small blues club in Atlanta probably ten or more years ago. I unashamedly stood right in front of Walter and watched...and listened...to this incredible artist. My ears rung for days, but it is still one of the best live performances I have ever seen. I have a photo of his ‘73 Strat being carried outside the club by his tech to be repaired during a set break after Walter had stripped the strap pin with his furious playing.
What an amazing person and player❤️🎸
Best interview ever. Walter Trout is a legend, god bless him and thank you Anderson’s for posting it.
One of the best interviews yet, amazing guy.
Get John Mayall on before he's gone What a story he must have!
Absolutely! John Mayall never seems to get the love he deserves.
I'm with you the man's a legend
I usually recall Walter's story when I'm in the low days... What an inspirational man, with a great sense of humour and still a big survival drive.. ...and I should watch spinal tap again.. and again.
Thanks for that interview, what an amazing guy and musician. One of the best ''Captain meets'' to date.
Very impressive! A very experienced, great musician speaks the truth about drugs, alcohol and music. Great interview!
Trout is a legend....fantastic blues player as well. Some interviews I skip through...couldn't put this one down
One of your best interviews hands down.
spooney I lived in the same town where he started singing with the country band. I remember the club, but I didn't like that kind of music at the time. Small world! Great interview for sure!
I love the jam at the beginning. I keep coming back to watch this video just to listen to it! Awesome stuff.
And that is all because of Walter.
Absolutely!! WT is the man!
Thank You for this Walter is a Hero and an Icon !
Best Captain Meets yet!!! I so look forward to Sunday.
The BEST interview so far on this meets series ... so much depth and a roller coaster of emotions
Wow that jam at the beginning was freaking intense also captain held down the rhythm perfectly
Great interview; Walter seems a lovely, down-to-earth guy. So pleased he got over his illness and I hope he continues in good health for many more years.
Butterflies Blues Band cream of the cream of blues bands. Listen to everything they did.
I came across Battle Scars (cold cold ground and Gonna live again) when i was on my death bed back in 2019, purely just though browsing through Apple Music. Since being brought back from the brink being kept alive by being fed directly into my blood stream for the rest of my life and having to deal with multiple ongoing issues. I started to learn to play the guitar. Now Walter is a huge inspiration to me I am going to see him this year (2024 when he tours UK)
What a player. So glad he’s here on planet earth. 😁✌️
i lived near Huntington beach back then saw walter with canned heat.john mayall at golden bear and the bar he was talking about where played 5 days a week was called PERQ'S on main st in h.b. everytime my friends and I would see him we couldnt believe he was playing this small surf bar.always the greatest show for free
Amazing story of getting sober and surviving his illness. The story with Carlos Santana was very humbling and inspiring. It’s very touching to me me as my younger brother died ten years ago from alcoholism. And I’ve had my off and on issues. I’ve been sober for two years . Hearing Walter’s story has been an inspiration. I know I’ve been very blessed to still be here . The deal is respect and honor our blessings. We are alive and it doesn’t last forever. Take time to understand what a miracle life is . Take time to understand what a miracle you are . Whoever might read this understand that each breath we take is a gift given. Take Care Everybody 🙏👌😊❤️
I’ve watched many captain meets videos, I’ve watched this one three times now. I think we have to acknowledge the quality of capt Lee doing the interview here. He’s very good at asking just the right question, whilst being tactful and always with plenty of integrity. It’s testament to his professionalism in these situations. Hats off. It’s fantastic. And Walter, what a player and a real personality for sure.
Brilliant! Walter seems like a lovely guy and what a fantastic story, the life of a real working musician, will all it's ups and downs. A great watch.
I saw him live in Middlesbrough town hall in about 98/99 and he blew my mind!
I absolutely loved this interview. I met Walter back in the early 1990s through a mutual friend, the late Harmonica Manny. Walter was playing Perqs in Huntington Beach CA and Many insisted that I come down and check him out. I'm really glad I did. At the time, I didn't realize how lucky I was to be having a smoke break with the band in the ally between sets. I've been a fan ever since. I also had no idea of Walter's personal story. But as I will be sober 38 years this month, to say I relate would be an understatement. I should point out that the story of Carlos being Walter's Eskimo brought tears of joy to me. Good stuff! I want to thank Andertons for more inspiring and educational content. And thank Walter also. I had no idea at the time but meeting Walter and hearing his gift must have affected me. I got to play guitar at Perqs just this year. It totally brought back that memory from the 90s.
What a genuine, honest, down to earth guy and for me one of the greats. Good bless and for the Captain, what an interviwer, so natural. Thx chaps!
Great to see him in good health!
Not only the best interview for you but the best interview by anybody on youtube!!
Brilliant interview LOVE Walter Trout. He is a international BLUES treasure. I been watching a UA-cam for years and this will be one of my favourite interviews of all time. Praise the Lord that Walter is okay and that we are able to enjoy him.
27:28 that is a powerful testimony! That is a beautiful thing and I'm happy to hear his take on the drinking and drugs.
Thanks for a great interview!
I found a video from 87 with Him and Mayal and Choo Choo, then another vid of him again with Choo Choo 28 yrs later. Worth looking up.
THE GREATEST INTERVIEW EVER. TO COME BACK LIKE HE DID IS AMAZING AND SHOWS WHAT YOU CAN DO IN LIFE IF YOU NEVER GIVE UP.
Great interview. I've admired Walter for many years. Let's hope that his records keep coming.
Agreed.
Intensely raw and superb interview. Thanks for producing this.
Thank for having Walter on.
Seen him a few years back.
Here in Kansas City, Missouri.
Probably 2006
Loved seeing and hearing him play. Awesome player.
Fantastic story
Thanks Captain Lee
Walter, you are a treasure. Thank you for the inspiration you provide.
One of the most sincere and touching interviews I've ever seen.
Great interview! And Walter sis an amazing guitarist 👍👍👍 Thank you 🙏
Great. Always loved Walter. Proper old school guitar slinger. Not nearly as well known as he should be. Nice interview, Lee.
One of the best ones yet, Lee. Loved it. Big fan of Walter's work and it was great to hear a shout-out to Big Momma. Lots of affection for her.
Amazing stories here. This dude has lived more in a decade than many of us have in a whole lifetime.
Thanks, guys.
I play blues (amateur) guitar and love blues guitarist and I never heard of Trout. I just watched this for no reason really. He is interesting and now I think this is something everyone should watch just for the insights. I think making a living JUST as a blue guitarist would be incredibly hard. So many to compare to and everyone just basically steals everyone else's licks and changes them a little. This is where you face your fears and go for it 100% and it worked for him.
Well, those 53 minutes went by really quick, great interview, thanks Lee for sharing this awesome content.
The Greatest Blues Guitar Player! Mr. Walter Trout 🎸 Thank You Sir for all your great music.
The last concert I attended before the pandemic was by Walter Trout. It was fantastic, I hope I return to Madrid :)
Internet: Middle pickup is useless
Walter Trout: Hold my beer
thanks you for make my monday a friday! great comment!
I guess people can't really associate a specific sound with the middle pickup, bridge harsh and somewhat thin and neck sweet,fat great for soloing. My favourite lead was always neck+middle. But I've always thought all the combination are interesting and fun
Good one. I dig it a lot too, actually, but it depends on the set. Not all strat sets have good middle pickups.
Cheers, bro'
Walter can make any pickups good. Now you know.
Yeah, it's fun to see it used for solo'ing..
I've always used it for more "funky" rhythm stuff like the intro to Superstition etc. (which I'd rather play on the middle position of a Tele, but you don't always have a Tele when someone wants to play the more funky stuff :-) )
Saw Walter for the first time in December 89 in Aarhus, Denmark. Played a 2 hour set, went off, came back on and played a 4 hour encore. Greatest blues gig I ever saw.
the real Bluesman..Hope to catch him live on stage one day. One of the best Interviews, Lee!! Really enjoyed every second of it.
Born and raised in South Jersey and 23 yrs old how ironic. This is the awesome! Feeling inspired thanks Mr. Trout and Andertons keep up the quality videos \m/
Fantastic ... Gotta love Walter ... Absolute legend ... Met him and spoke to him in Germany a couple years back after a show ... Real nice guy ... Down to earth ... Top man
I've been a fan of Walter for around fifteen years now. Not only a master guitarist, but a brilliant singer songwriter as well. Saw him live when he was very ill, and I thought that was the last time I would see him play. Thank god he come through his liver transplant and he is now playing and singing as well as ever.
Excellent interview!!!
Very interesting dude!!!
WT is a phenomenal player!... I am highly envious of his childhood, it must have been great seeing all those legends... Years ago I saw him with John Mayall at the Egg in Albany NY... Fantastic show... Poppa Chubby opened for them, he's no slouch himself... I really enjoy these interviews! And as a recovering addict myself, I relate to and highly appreciate hearing the positives of these guys who hit bottom and turn their lives around for the better... I'm glad Carlos was there and humble enough to offer the help... It's inspirational.
Just listened to Me, my guitar and the blues from Survivor Blues. Wow beautiful sad blues. Great voice and epic guitar playing from a blues master. Fascinating interview by the Captain.
This was truly inspirational. Really enjoyed watching
Love Walter! ...and I agree.... his music is "exciting"!
I have had the pleasure of seeing Walter Trout twice at the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Maine. Once before his liver trouble and then a few years after. What a great and revealing interview. Plus I knew about Jesse Ed Davis but had no idea that he played on all those famous songs. What a great chat. Plus Walter always plays like an absolute beast. Such energy and life and in his playing. The first time he was supposed to play in 2007 and was preceded by his friend, Coco Montoya. A nor'easter was blowing in, and almost blew over Coco! So they ended early before Walter. So he came back the very next year! He worked it out and we loved that. Then he came back a second time a few years after his liver transplant and played great again! His son joined him on stage and they both blew us all away! Super nice guy and an absolute talent!
This is one of the greatest guitar player in the blues music!
One of the best and most honest interview ever!
Believe it or not, I saw Walter the first time live in the early 90´s at the Westerwaldgymnasium Altenkirchen, Germany, a small town somewhere in the nowhere. I´ll ever remember that evening, being 17or so. Until today I don´t know how my classmates managed to get Walter there, but he was there, played and changed the way I felt about music. Thanks for this, Walter!
What a cool guy Walter is, great stuff Captain thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Got to love Walter Trout. Chipping in for his new liver was some of the best money I ever spent.
A great interviewee with great insights and advice for all players.
Wow, this was fantastic. Thank you Mr. Trout for being so open and up front. Love your style.
@Netflix ..!!.! please make a Doc about this mans life. Walter you just got a new Fan. Thanks Cap.
Simply thank you Walter and thank you Lee
Walter Trout!.......... Just...... awesome....awesome
Still alive and kicking!
Cooler guy is kind of hard to find, even when he i sick he still plays as if it is his last show and take the time to meet fans after.
*Respect*
My favourite of your interviews so far !
Absolute genius. Thank you for your music and your stories. Can't wait to see you.
One of the most enjoyable interviews you’ve ever done Lee, Walter does not get enough mainstream credit, been a fan for 20 years 👍
this man needs to write a book
GREAT interview! Walter is a musical treasure. Definitely my favorite "Captain Meets"... after the 1st Greg Koch interview, naturally 👌🙂👍
I really have to agree...one of the best interviews I have seen. Thanks for bring this to us! Walter your rock!
Whoa!! Without doubt, THE BEST interview you've done and the BEST interview i've ever watched! That story needs a film maker!
I don’t know how I missed THIS video. What an absolute gem
Such a great interview and an interesting guest. Everything he said felt so honest and genuine. Well done Lee!
This was awesome! Walter is da man for sure! I have been a huge fan of his for years and as a guitarist this guy was always one of my greatest influences, I love gain on bust, playing on the very edge, amp screaming, heart completely into it, emotional, blues playing. Authentic music straight from the heart! Ya just can't beat that! :-)
