  • RITCHIE Blackmore,doesn;t match up To Morse,Does He.

  • i shit myself in my pants the way he breaks in again after bass slap solo

    !

  • so cool

  • Could be the best ending in the history of rock music.

  • nice ending

  • Blistering solo at 1:55

  • 1:39 reminds me crazy train solo! lol

    steve morse is one of the best! I like to watch him play coz he dont play random notes like so many do! :D

  • Watch his band play rocky top. Its like two diferent songs(this one and that one)share one bass solo.

  • his "E. Honda stage" t-shirt is awesome!

  • Great!

  • he's also a commercial jet pilot

    virtuoso - a true master of guitar

  • Oh yeah, I have a copy of "What If?" the opening track "Take it off theTop" is a powerhouse Tour de Force. Steve is my favorite OVERALL guitarist, because he can Rock, Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, Metal and Shred. Most guys can shred (Yngwie, Gambale) some can rock (Blackmore, Trower) some can Rock and Blues (Moore, Vaughn) but Morse can do all of the above and then some.He's got to be the most underrated guitarist.Currently he is with Purple,but In my humble opinion, his early stuff is the best

  • @alcatras4 Almost everyone of his albums has at least one classical guitar movement as well. My favorite overall too.

  • i love this guy

  • i said on another video... this was way back when he was "crappy" then. how is it humanly possible to get better than this? if i played like this almost twenty years ago, i'd have been set for life and quite happy. not to forget larue.

  • Y HA!

  • I went to see Stanley Clarke at The Laurie Auditorium in San Antonio and there was this completely unknown band opening for him called the Dixie Dregs. I couldn't wait to see some bunch of bozos called Dixie Dregs who must have some gall to think they were good enough to be on stage with a jazz/fusion great. WOW! Was I ever blown away!

  • @rockdrumr429 Wow that had to be pretty awesome. Do you remember what year that was?

  • @cjk9013 - What year? HA HA! No idea, man; sometime in the eighties, maybe? All I remember is how great they were, and how unusual to have a jazz, and obviously classical violinist in the band!

  • does anybody know wich album contains this piece??

  • the album is called "What If" the whole album is awesome i highly recomend it

  • it's a Dixie Dregs album not Steve Morse Band by the way so you don't have trouble finding it

  • "what if" dei dixie dregs..peccato ke non c'è l'assolo di basso..

  • Dixie Dregs - 1978 What If - track 07

  • He's definetly the BEST!

  • Damn. Steve and the band are really good!

  • I was in a progressive jazz band that opened the show for the Dregs in the 1970s. No artist enjoys being blown off the stage by another band, but I am grateful for the opportunity to rub elbows with such extraordinary talent.

  • Loving the 'cranked' version of the main theme just before the drum solo. Then again, loving the whole thing really!

  • Bravo! Bravo! :-)

  • Morse is kinda' guitar god disguised as a simple human.

  • Steve manages to combine technique, feel, balls and off the cuff improvisation with a mastery of a mix of musical genres and styles. On top of all that, he doesn't seem to care a jot about any kind of fashion. In other words, a TRUE musician.

  • Is there anything this guy CAN'T play?

  • I would doubt it. There's Steve Morse....then there's everyone else.

  • my favorite....besides gilmour.....

  • Is he using his finger

  • The bassist does the same bass solo in the song Rocky Top. He could make some different lines.

  • I would have to say that, hands down, Morse is the most versatile guitarist out there. I am not taking anything away from others. Shawn Lane was (and still is) brilliant. Johnson is a legend. But there is nothing that Morse cannot play - metal, blues, classical, bluegrass, you name it. He is a master of all those styles. Check out his album "Stand Up." There are appearances by Holdsworth, Albert Lee, and Eric Johnson. It's a classic.

  • Danny Gatton is the only other guitarist that can match Steve's versatility...but he's not with us anymore. Steve's my favorite, but Danny was a very close second....very close.

  • that ending is so COOL

  • This one is supercool! ( Although no offcence to Paisly, Steve would own him... no doubt. He's one of the most diverse and talented guitarplayers I've ever seen)

  • Brad Paisley mentioned in the same sentence as Morse? I almost pooped my pants laughing when I saw that. I'm not sure anyone can match the versatility and talent of Steve unless it's Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap....but only because he can turn it up to 11! haha Peace Morse fans

  • "I'm not sure anyone can match the versatility and talent of Steve"

    don´t forget Eric Johnson, John Mclaughlin and Shawn Lane R.I.P..

  • Eric would come closer than john or Shawn...Shawn had amazing speed and talent, but he never showed that country spank and John definitely can't groove on country...forget it! Morse is absolutely the best FUSIONARY guitarist in the sense of max styles fused in one genetic moment

  • have you heard Shawn and John play country?

    I have heard Shawn play country similar to what Morse does in this video and he did great.

    Mclaughlin has propably never tried to play country but you never know.

  • Chromatype, listen to McLaughlin play Indian-jazz fusion on Shakti's Handful Of Beauty CD, with a guitar desinged to enable him to imitate the microtones used in Indian classical music. The improvs that defy belief. He's never recorded country music but there are styles Morse hasn't tried either. Doesn't make either better than the other. I think McLaughlin more creatvie when it comes to improvising, though.

  • Steve Morse is a genius

  • Amazing!! I love this song

  • Henk de vis is dus zoiezo wel een 1000 keer beter !!!!!

  • brad paisley? yeah, he's good. there is no doubt about it. steve morse is on a whole other level from anyone else. he is blistering fast, when you can even realize that he has thrown a fill into a song. his best speed runs are undetectable. he can play anything, and there is no cleaner, more precise guitar player that i have ever seen. keep your paisley and be happy. it is nice to see someone of his caliber come into the bunch of average country music, these days. he better practice to take sm.

  • I got to concur with you, I've seen both in person and although from different genre's, Morse can flat out play everything put before him. I bought the SM-Y2D Purple Burst Signature. and only wish it could make my fingers do what his does. :)

  • Steve Morse è il mio maestro!!!

  • 65fender must be drunk. Steve would crush him with his massive forearms, then continue to school that hillbilly!

  • you people cannot be serious...morse would bury paisley on every front...plus he owns on nylon and can play jazz and metal with the best. paisley can play fast country licks and nothing else.

  • You might want to pull your head out of your ass. Steve would tear pretty boy Paisley apart without even trying... and Paisley's actually pretty good.

  • Paisley is very talented but Morse would blow him out of the water!

  • ah great song in every way, except for the vocal part, because there is none :P

  • Take that Brad Paisley

  • oh waaaaaaaaa... steve morse is my favourite guitar player! he really could play everything and he demonstrate it with deep purple...

  • this song has costant 16th notes.... the drums the bass the guitar... everything

  • not quite...

  • Dave Larue's the man!

  • wow! go stevie go!

  • And I thought geddy Lee was a good bass player! This guy and Myung make me want to throw mine away!

  • Steve's the best!

  • Holy hara! That's too awesome..!!

  • absolute best southern rock guitarist.... ok, maybe then allman boys but DANG!!!!

  • I love this song!

  • I'm happy with my own brains and hands, I just let them play guitar every day and I get inspired by great guitarists like Steve Morse. Maybe if I practice very hard I become as good es he, ever... in my own way of course. :P Well, it are dreams, but I belief in dreams. :)

  • have any1 the power tabs of this song for me plz?

  • è un GRANDE!!!

  • Krappy hell I hate country music, but Steve'n'Dave always persuade me that everything can B played damn great!!

  • Listen to The Dregs play "The Bash" live and I can guarantee you will be up on your feet dancing away. By the way, I HATE country music also!!! This is closer to bluegrass. Steve and the boys smoke no matter what type of music they play

  • Incredible.  Just amazing. \m/ indeed.

  • steve is awesome in this format, will he ever tour with the G3

  • Thank you for posting such a classic, old time dregs fan!!

  • fucking absolutley impecable...morse even does all the keyboard solos and violin solos from the original note for note...The Dixie Dregs are by far the Best live band i have ever seen...my jaw was on the floor the whole night

  • this is amazing.. I was speechless after seeing this the first time. The vibe is sooo cool, and they play it so well. Best country/bluegrass inspired tune ever played by a rockband. period!

  • What stands out about Morse is his ability to compose, dating back to mid-70s Dixie Dregs stuff...some of their better known tunes he wrote before he was 20.

  • Steve Morse, wow. A southern fried guitar slinger with soul. Tasty little country licks, banjo type rolls, and some fantastic alternate picking. Dave LaRue, the best bassist ever. And Van Romaine's awesome.
