I agree - would you like to do a better video for the world to enjoy?>?? Get him in your neck and you just might have that opportunity..Cool? Thanx for digging him though..
Yeah - he' s a great slide player and has quite a distinctive and fluent style (and sound) there. Different from "slide giants" like Sonny Landreth or Derek Trucks but really very good in his own right. Maybe a bit like Johnny Winter from way back some time? I'd really wish, too, there'd be some better quality vids of him around here.
well, I didn't actually mean that there's a distinct likeness to or even conscious emulation (as many less apt players might resort to) of Johnny Winter's playing, but I do in fact feel that every so often there is a sort of distant echo of Johnny's slide playing in Steve's style. just shimmering for a moment and then it's gone and it's different again. it's just an impression, anyway – maybe only Steve himself can tell what's really in there?
well yeah, I don't want to give the impression that I'm overly knowing. just as you say: I only say what I mean... and music certainly is much about feeling anyway, which in turn is bound to be subjective in no small amount.
and after all: I do enjoy Steve's playing wholeheartedly every time I put on his CDs, watch his clips or whatever – he's so good that I wonder each and every time why he's not as well known as he deserves...
Bien médiocre video (mais elle a le mérite d'exister) pour illustrer le talent d'une des plus belle voix du blues et un des maitres incontesté de la slide.

sounds good but absolutelky no likeness to Johnny Winter...Johnny is more delta and articulates
single notes much more.....

Enjoy Steve's playing and I only say what I mean....his style is rooted in a "southern rock"
Allmanesque treatment.....the processing of the guitar alone spells that out....Johnny had a "cleaner sound"
and also doubles on the Tricone Resonator for a "country delta" sound.....
The Allman sound still dominates the "toolbox" of most slide players out there....

By far my favorite guitar player. I wish there were some better films of him.
