A 10th grader in Texas asked me the other day if I ever heard of "a guy named Kingfish". My World History lesson on the Industrial Revolution turned into a rabbit hole discussion of the blues. Best day teaching in a long time.
Everyone’s interested in hip hop and shit don’t get me wrong sometimes u gotta put on some lil baby or Travis Scott But this is real music But nobody’s interested in this anymore and it’s sad
His market is out there but sadly the american "music industry" would rather promote trash gangstas and hoes. This man's market is the rest of the entire world and i sincerely hope he is brought to their attention
his tonality is crazy. i'm blown away. not because of his sound, but the amount of time he has invested is so short. proves the adage- some have it and some don't.
I mean, he's good but I feel like it's bold to say he's a catalyst for something that's already been happening. Derek trucks and Susan Tedeschi are easily much better blues musicians, tempered in history, and playing with some of the best musicians. I'm not ragging on Kingfish, but he's got a long way to get the kind of credit you're giving him. I'm excited to see him thrive, and succeed though. Perhaps he will play with Derek one day, I bet it would be tight.
last summer he was playing before Robert Randolph at a festival ( I'm Robert's guitar tech) so Rob had me ask him to sit in. So i went to ask him and his mom was there, and he looked at his mom to ask her if they were staying and she said yes. He then looked over at me and said he'd love to sit in. The joy in his eyes and the pure love he has for playing music made me smile! Its people like him that's going to keep the electric guitar living on!
what a damn cool story, son and I are big Randolph & Family fans. Now if we could just get him together with Eric Gales that would be some more fireworks. Kingfish is a beast on guitar just like Eric and I really like his voice
He has really matured as a guitarist in the last year. He is concentrating on substance and style instead of just squeezing as many notes into a minute as possible . I think he’s brilliant. And his voice is just getting better and better. We are lucky to be able to watch and listen to him from the beginning. Many Thanks to 1AnitrasDance.
You're right about the brilliant.....and also the speed comment. The slower he plays, the more I love it. Those air gaps in a song make all the other notes tastier. The fewer notes he plays per minute, the more soul it puts across.
he matured very fast very well in his playing. saw him at age of 15 when he did that typical fast shredding pattern thing often. his playing is now advanced, he effortlessly switching out of the blues scheme on solos and inbetween. and of course his voice will getting better too^^
"GOING TO BE"? I submit to you he's already better than many of the world's legendary guitar superstars. I've seen many of the top guitarists of all time and I personally think he's every bit as good as any when he's playing slow....and he sings better than any of them! I do NOT care for his shredding, but when he slows it down, he's so bomb. He improvises on the fly and every note is tasty.
I've seen some amazing guitarists live over the years including Hendrix, BB King, Buddy Guy, Clapton and Knopfler to name but a few and got to say Christone truly has music running through his veins and soul and its totally visible with every note he plays and movements his fingers make, they're filled with a passion you cannot teach, you can see, hear and feel this young guy has a understanding that pours out of his body. Wow is all that you can say... Would love to see you at a live gig.
@Deirdre Morris There is absolutely nothing in there theoretically or harmonically that is anything other than static. It's all pentatonic, minor and blues. Not even arpeggiation. It's definitely not jazz by any interpretation. Not even close.
I see your last name origins from former Yugoslavia? Listen to this, it is purest out of soul guitar playing from one of the famous Yugoslavian guitar player ua-cam.com/video/LMu3NxCa4uw/v-deo.html
I want to see everyone who disliked this performance to go on stage and show us what they have. For a live performance like this there should only be "like" and "love". I admire the sincerity of this performance. Bravo!
Standing ovation. What an incredible ability to channel emotion into music. In my opinion, this young man stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest of the great guitar legends - as he is today. I can't imagine where he could possibly go from here.
Why in the Hell would anyone give this young man a Thumbs Down? This guy is keeping the blues Alive. This guy is truely Amazing. He uses a minimal amount of pedals. Go Get 'Em Kingfish.
First time hearing this kid play & let me tell you boy. You just can't teach blues. You have to feel it. This kid has it!! BB king is proud of you kid 💯👍 keep doing what you doing 👏
Sous les doigts de ce jeune homme, vivent tous les meilleurs guitaristes, vivants et morts. L'élégance du jeu, les harmonies qui vous surprennent, le discours de ses phrases, etc .. tout est magnifique chez cet homme et je pense qu'il est parti pour être encore meilleur
Thanks for posting... he's all heart and just an amazing guitar player with a very unique style. I'm pushing 60 and seeing anyone under 30 making music that doesn't sound like a polyphonic ringtone just warms my heart. Chris is a true musician and a real gem :)
I absolutely enjoy this young man!! Why he’s not just blowing up all over the planet is just mind boggling. Such SOUL it’s just wreaks of blue soul and feel!! He has a GIFT yeah ? Player is young buddy rip that guitar to shreds!!
B.B. King is smiling down from Heaven on this young man. YES, my favorite musician of all time is reincarnated! YES, YES, YES so much YES! His soul speaks through his guitar. He is one with his guitar. I love it! Someone get the guy a recording contract so I can buy his records.
He speaks like a young person but sings like vet. His voice is great. The fact he can play that well is outrageous. Some folks are actually born to do what they do. Once they find it they can't be stopped.
Rarely do you find an artist/musician who does the song better than the original person or group. This man knows the guitar inside out and plays it to perfection!
I was there for a couple of hours. Kingfish was the highlight of my day. Watching him play is like watching some of the greats; his fingers just know what to do; it is like the guitar is driving. Amazing! This is not just skill, it is more a natural force like gravity or magnetism. When I was a young cook - wannabe picker - at Nick's Podium in Austin, Stevie Ray would drop by every couple of months. Watching Christone play reminded me of those days! Good Form Young Man!
As per my experience of international musical world the young guitarist is. A magical composer and arranger too It is achieved by the god gift Only practice can't make a human like this Congrats kis God bless you dear
Just found this and this kid is incredible. There are those that work hard to be good, then there are others like this kid that is born with the talent and grows exponentially. B.B. King is looking down and is thinking "This kid is picking up where I left off." Just think of what it would have been like for these two to be together on the stage. We'll never know but Christone is rockin it.
Best guitarist I’ve seen in years honestly. Kingfish is a legend, his playing has matured and he’s so incredibly congruent with his phrasing. Brilliant.
SRV is my all time greatest my #1 nothing but know one has come close to that magic. Until now you my friend just took me right back to that amazing sound and out of the upmost respect to SRV you are my 2nd favorite and I am I’m sooooooooo glad you came up on my suggested. Hats off to you and you amazing gift
I saw him standing in the background on stage with some blues legends. I didn’t pay any mind to who he was. The video was about someone else. I clicked on this because I recognized him from that other vid. Thought what the hell. I’ll give him a listen. Oh yeah! I like it! Someone get that guitar a cigarette.
Wow! Guy really knows how to play piano! For real: sounds amazing! There is soul in that guitar and when he sings it comes deep straight from the heart

My dad was a grade 5 teacher, and had a similar situation when a kid asked him who the guy in a picture he had was(Rory Gallagher).
That’s Awesome 😁🥳🥳

His guitar is plugged directly into his heart.
Indeed
Exactly....
winky phillips I can Dig THAT✨
Yes!
Shit, that guitar is plugged into BB King, SRV and Hendrix all at the same time.
He plays every note perfectly. Bb king would be proud. How kingfish isnt a household name is beyond me.
Everyone’s interested in hip hop and shit don’t get me wrong sometimes u gotta put on some lil baby or Travis Scott
But this is real music
But nobody’s interested in this anymore and it’s sad
His market is out there but sadly the american "music industry" would rather promote trash gangstas and hoes.

Murrkkka is shit now. There’s no more soul
Love BB, but he never played lucille like that!
Kingfish could be the catalyst for a whole revival of rock and blues artists and its super exciting to watch unfold!
Kingfish and Greta van fleet are amazing and are inspiring many young people
I really hope so
Christone is our messiah, we are lucky to witness what he is doing. He will go miles
Yep. The future of R&B is about to hit a new high with the likes of Kingfish and the young sensational Toby Lee.

This isn't talent its GOD GIFTED. #respect
He’s going to be one of the best players in the world. What I can’t believe is that he’s only 20 years old!
Just wait till he gets "good" ;)
If he gets his weight under controll Because I dont want him to die at a young age because of his unhealthy weight. He is talented!
@@Deauxtje if he has the hart of Keith Richards he can also do a truck load of drugs and still get very old
No, he is already one of the best ever

206 dislikes are from individuals who cannot recognize and appreciate good music!!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Must I say tone deaf and soulless too
I don't even like the Blues, but I sat there mesmerized the whole damn time. This kid is the truth.
I agree who could dislike this.
406 guitarristas frustrados
That number grew to 502.

Don't leave out the Late Blues singer Albert King Greatest guitarist....He played a Gibson Flying V lead Guitar 🎸💯💯
I hear a BBKing Hendrix fusion with this kid, as well as mostly his own style, and I love it!
Great version of BB's song. Can't help but admire kingfish's melodic transition ,technique from blues to jazz. Great guitar.........
198306Ms much like SRV.
Jazz? What jazz?
@Deirdre Morris There is absolutely nothing in there theoretically or harmonically that is anything other than static. It's all pentatonic, minor and blues. Not even arpeggiation. It's definitely not jazz by any interpretation. Not even close.
@@jbenoit1962 You're not listening closely enough. One more time!
J Benoit he uses a lot of jazz chords to strength the melody
One of the greatest guitar solos I've heard.
Absolutely The Best Solo, in my opinion.
The Man's choice of what to do with his guitar is enviable.
#hesaguirarbeast
THIS is talent. Brings a tear to my eye. When you consider he's still a teenager and playing guitar for only 5 years it's absolutely amazing.
@Commendatore He's 20 now.
WHAT???
There's no such thing as talent in this type of field its all about practicing and dedication
all praise to the most high
And that ladies and gentlemen is how to play a guitar. Well done sir.
Do you ever watch this kid play and think “damn I really gotta practice more”
More like "why practice?"
No, actually I was reminded to turn up the volume and skip the Wendy's drive through.
@@chrismc.4437 WTF does wendy's have to do with this?
@@Rhythmicons fat joke I think.
@@seanpaulson9098 He sees that shit in the comment sections too.
Blues, jazz and rock perfectly and smoothly blended togehter. Chords sound so tasty...and solo's are just mindblowing.
Legend in the making
He can play the guitar like ringing a bell.
Soul is blasting from his fingers.
More like articulating sausages
I see your last name origins from former Yugoslavia? Listen to this, it is purest out of soul guitar playing from one of the famous Yugoslavian guitar player ua-cam.com/video/LMu3NxCa4uw/v-deo.html
Very well said
Yes
2024 still one of the best guitar solos ever
We are watching a “living” legend and hope to see him live!
THAT BUILD UP AT @5:20 IS SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFULLY DONE! damn that gave me chills
This guy gives me chills. One of the best i've seen in a very long time.
Old soul right here folks!!
This kid has got it! Fantastic!!!
Bring this music back
A true star in the making, maturing to be one of the Greats! 👏🏻🌟🎼🎸
This kid is gonna be a legend. This performance alone earns him a spot in the hall of fame in my humble opinion...
Hopefully he won't become a legend from having died too young.
The weight he is carrying most likely at this young age will do him in well before old age.
I Luv his Phrasing!! He's not just Riffing! He's talking to you thru his Guitar!! Yung man w/ a Old soul!🔥🔥🎸🎸🙌🏾🤘🏾
I know if another kid like KingFish. Kid from Australia. He's about 12 years old and he is awesome. Taj Farrant
Witnessing an Enigma....we are usually only fortune or privileged to see one in a generation!!! Be blessed Brother!!!
I want to see everyone who disliked this performance to go on stage and show us what they have. For a live performance like this there should only be "like" and "love". I admire the sincerity of this performance. Bravo!

Probably Lil Wayne and those other Lil mumble rappers
@@MexicanAmericanPhilippines yeah lil Wayne disliked this video
People who dislike videos like this dislike themselves and they've just gotta share it. No other reasonable explanation.

Never ceases to amaze me no matter how many times I've watched this
I am flabbergasted! He is the real deal, look at all that emotion. Finally there is hope! Thanks Christone.

What a find. Great sound and soul. Thanks for sharing.
I stumbled upon some gold today. Just found out TODAY who this boy is, and I'm so happy. I'm so happy I got into the Blues :D
He speaks like a young person but sings like vet. His voice is great. The fact he can play that well is outrageous.
Some folks are actually born to do what they do. Once they find it they can't be stopped.
Wow!!! Incredible guitarist and vocalist!!! Simply AMAZING 🤩
This guy is really really good you doing BB King proud my man!
Rarely do you find an artist/musician who does the song better than the original person or group. This man knows the guitar inside out and plays it to perfection!

very nice version 👍
There is no other young artist who can really present a show like this guy
Sing and play the guitar
billy strings, he is bluegrass but the same amount of soul in his performance

i will have the pleasure of seeing him this week end at a blues festival here in Pittsburgh Pa blues festival
urbanwarrior2 how was it?
Where's he from? I'd like to see him in person.
This kid is absolutely amazing 😉
Id love to be there in front row live .
Hopefully one day he’s in my state in Australia
I feel like hes got more in his voice than he gives off.
lee enfield I agree. I think it may be the age though. Give him a few more years, or maybe some alcohol?
probably just needs more confidence, i'm just imagining him in like his 30's he'll prob be a hall of famer by then
he does, go watch his version of "I Put a Spell on You." Absolute soul.
He just may, but the way he make them strings talk, and sing is pure dynamite.
@@thebookwaswaybetter2827 Thought you said farmer🤔🤣🤣
This guy is a musical legend. Christone "Kingfish" Ingram's name is gonna go down in music history! Amazing talent!

Felt like he was in my living room. The King would love this.

Amazing guitarist !
This man is simply amazing to watch; he captivates from beginning to end. He definitely can stir your emotions with the strings.
Wow! Guy really knows how to play piano!
For real: sounds amazing! There is soul in that guitar and when he sings it comes deep straight from the heart
This is better every time I listen to it.
Been more than a decade since someone came on the scene that could play with both the feel and the technical proficiency to make that kind of music.
This is beautiful. I wish I had a spark of his soul and talent.
The sheer talent level of this young man is unreal.
A legend at 20!!! Amazing talent and even greater creativity. WOW!!!!
Every video of him on UA-cam is amazing. That shit is crazy
Glad to see stuff like this still sprouting in modern times
He’s as good as any of the blues greats I’ve seen anywhere. He’s the master of his instrument at a young age.
Best guitar player I've heard. No joke. This is nothing but amazing
@Fuck You I'm a Jelly Bean bahaha bahaha hate much? Need some hateraide? Misery loves company huh? ,😜😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a fantastic performance, full of emotion and substance.
BB is looking down from heaven with a big smile hearing this rendition
Wow this dude is straight up down from the heavens....
I watched this video at least four times back to back and I could not stop banging my head! God Bless you Kingfish
Good camera angle!!!!! Best solo improve. You can tell he has studied music riffs well. Hes the king of riffs.
I don't even care if there is an afterlife or a lord up above I've already lived in heaven thanks to artists like this.
The solo is sooo smooooth...
I'm witnessing one of the Best future guitar players in the world
Damn this kid though!! The Blues Gods have smiled on him.
He made THEM smile.
This guy will go down as one of the best ever. I can't say I care for his version of this particular song but still outstanding talent.
Damn, this kid is good. So much heart. Lov’ it.
For me listening to this amazing musician the thrill of utterly fantastic music is back!!
That guitar is beautiful and his playing even more so.
Pure talent! What a gift to us all!
2:29,
perfect transition to continue with the solo, just incredible
He's freaking brilliant. All the best to you, Christone. Your soul is shining.
"KINGFISH" The blues WHISPERER!
He played the quiet weeping blues, the deep crying blues and the rock screaming blues... all in one song.
Wow man this guy is very good, takes a classic, turn it into his own vibe... GENIUS!!!!
I love to see that . The man is possessed by his music I can dig that.
Go on Youngin! Bad dude right there!......New Fan....glad I clicked
