Louie Shelton is God!

[gutjoe]

WOW. Top notch!

[chezhozay]

Thanks. Louie is a monster! Now I can show my students what a Strat is supposed to really sound like…… monster tone!

[RonZabrocki]

Great musician playing a great song ....Fabulous!

[MrDennislatimer]

WOW, what an inspiration. I haven't been able to put down my Stratocaster since stumbling across this video. Thanks for posting!

[rabe56]

Mr. Shelton, whenever I hear a song that I knew you played on, I make it a point to give you credit. The other day Summer Breeze came on and I told my wife "that's Loius Shelton on guitar". Love your work with Boz Skaggs too.  When I think of great pop music, I see three components: great writers; terrific performers and great studio musicians. Thanks.

Three minutes of perfection -- absolutely masterful.  Every 14 yr. old aspiring guitarist should be forced to memorize this. Stunning guitar playing.

[2GoldensTosa]

Damn! Back to the woodshed for me! LOL! What a great performance, Louie! Absolutely inspirational! A real joy to listen to. Now where do I start to learn this??

[comicbookinker]

Good Lord....that's just not right!!! Unreal....

[loujazz99]

thats a Fender Deluxe

[maltomario]

@loujazz99 your tone is awesome in this video. I love this performance! Trying teach myself this from your video. Lots of jazzy stuff in there, so its going to be quite the challenge for me. I don't know how you pull this off so effortlessly. Are you using a compressor by chance?

[Howardsend88]

@loujazz99 looks more like a '59 Bassman® LTD

[pablo3115]

@loujazz99

Tone, taste, feel. Right in the pocket Lou. Awsome.

[munky2002]

[Howardsend88]

@munky2002 '59 Bassman® LTD

[tobaccorich]

Wow and wow

Gotta play this in a week ....i ll be learning from this version

[nathos72]

Louie this is incredible.

I spent my teens listening to you play in the Seaforth and Blue Harbor studios with Matt.

Justin, Rich and I developed a life long love of music because of those days.

For that gift I thank you.

Nathan Brown (one of Matt's old high school buddies, who now lives and works in New York City)

Louis has played on SO many great recordings...you've been listening to him your whole life. You just don't realize it! This (as great as it is) is just the tip of the iceberg.
