[bazookajoemo]

My 9-year-old son and I were sitting next to Matt Guitar Murphy on a plane from Miami to New York last month. He told us he was in the movie Blues Brothers, but I didn't know until I googled him, that he was so well known. He is a really nice guy.

[argyll1854]

@bazookajoemo

Nice one

[nataliabajan1]

Questo lo chiamo jazz!

[1peteeh]

chet wishes this kinda playin

[peajink]

@1peteeh Dude youre smokin way to much bammer.

[robertm2000]

Cool Video. Matt Guitar Murphy is one of the best guitarists around. Interesting though - Gibson putting this up. Matt Guitar Murphy more recently endorsed Cort Guitars and Cort has out a Matt Guitar Murphy Signature Model.

[howlingsandy]

@robertm2000 Gibson will try to exploit any possible though wrongful avenue of PR.... including their intentionally infringing my iconic image of Wolf playing guitar after they were specifically NOT permitted two years earlier because they would not pay fee (or even a guitar) for a proposed use as a contest and also PR for contest images "Oh, we don't pay our artists" You can bet they will soon pay Getty Legal as all they did was "we referred to appropriate parties" on my asking a fee.credit

[loveanymusic11]

@robertm2000 Even more recently (January 2011) Matt designed a guitar himself and got it made by Delaney Guitars.

[rentatrip1]

Les Paul (guitars) Rule the  Yard

"MATT'S GUITAR BOOGIE"

[ElliotRocker]

Anybody knows what happened with Billy Stepney? Any whereabouts?Is he still alive? and after this, what came to him? I'd be grateful for any info about him. Thanks

[sirkickbutt1]

@ElliotRocker Billy Stepney b. 1930, Grenada, MS died on the bandstand while playing with James Cotton (b.1935, Tunica, MS and still alive).

[ElliotRocker]

@sirkickbutt1 in what year he died?

[jabsco23]

look at those eyebrows go

[malli69]

Hi, please does anyone know the title of this jam.

[sirkickbutt1]

@malli69 It's "his own interpretation of the Murphy boogie." Willie Dixon on bass, Billy Stepney on drums, Memphis Slim on piano. See "Matt Guitar Murphy performing Live" video by Gibson Guitar Corporation for the introduction by Dixon.

[jp420dunwoody]

kick ass

[ElliotRocker]

Joe Louis Walker, a friend of Murphy himself said in a interview for Guitar World that this is the main and greatest problem of modern blues guitarists.Lack of personal style.He said also that guys like B.B. King or Muddy Waters just were alone and they have nobody to copy, so they developed his styles afer listening music and of course , having influences.The full point about this. Blues is very wide.Not all has been said. Stop copying exactly the legends and become a legend yourself

[ElliotRocker]

We need guitarists like Matt Murphy nowadays, Blues scene is full of SRV wannabes, and it is tiresome.Don´t missunderstand me, I like SRV but I think his style is over emulated this days. If we want great blues guitarists like Matt Guitar Murphy, we need to start sounding like ourselves and not like guys like SRV or B.B. King.

[cbhash42]

@ElliotRocker I can't agree more. The last thing the world needs is another guy with a strat and a hat. It's gotten redundant and most of all, BORING.

[yocosmi]

hi,

Please i want to know the title of this song.thany you.

[malli69]

Hi, does anyone know the title of this. Thanks.

[YogiTheFatGuy]

I wonder how many actually knew this guy before the blues Brothers...I did.

[stpgroov]

K o 0 LsviLLe!

[EvilHaman]

[vanitysadeparis]

So, the Blues Brothers really existed?!! :)

[Bob13Blues]

[evandro64835]

Muito, Muito, Bom Incrivel Blues

[mizdaphnarose]

Matt is still playing and looking good! Must be that Mississippi mud blood, even after his stroke he is

so incredibly musical! I'm going to see him tomorrow

in the Miami area. Oh yeah, I do love the eyebrow : )

[islamsuxs]

★★★★★

[StairwayToHeaven666]

1:16 .... is that Willie Dixon in the back ??

[pjrowan0]

[negrokezo]

Yeah! I think he is!

[geeyouknit345]

[seicheberlin]

love the eyebrow

[philebbesen]

THAT LICK AT 0:40 IS SICKKKKK!!!!!

[junkduma]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!

[taildragger51]

Just been playing the album "Memphis Slim At Gate Of Horn. 1959". This is one of the finest Blues albums ever done and Matt Murphy was the main reason. The man's TONE was his signature. I hope he is doing well today.

[nedboysf]

Thats Wille Dixon on bass.

[KatzenImNebel]

That's music!

[jumpercon1]

well played.loved it.

[kingcyberklutz]

Yeah, MAN! Now THAT'S what I call tasty!

[musictranscription]

Do you want me to transcribe it?

[icebytes]

will be cool :)

[thejoeker]

ye man the guitar playings great but DAMN he can work those eyebrows lol

[412wolfpack]

It looks like a Gibson ES335, but I could be wrong.

[icebytes]

Wrong.

Gibson ES-345 Varitone

[icebytes]

here very clear the guitar , can see controls from varitone.

?v=4Q23LimQkvc&

335 is no less than Gigantic BB-King

[seicheberlin]

double trapezoid inlays --> ES-345

[querfox]

so this fantasic harmonius guitar gentleman yu hear here was one of the obcessive influences into form the musical background technics of no one less than JIMI PAGE FROM LED ZEPPELIN!

[kinghorst]

face it. led zeppelin were great nut they stole a lot from blues musicians and jimmy was just a mediocre player, at least technically.

[anon540]

That would be to suggest blues musicians didn't "steal" a lot from each other. Later on in his career Hendrix (I assume that's who you're talking about) did a lot of crap. He implemented in his playing a good portion of what could technically be defined as "noise." Still, his earlier stuff was much better, and he was pretty darn good on an acoustic if I remember correctly.

[AspiringSanta]

Yes indeed you can play Hendrix on acoustic and it does sound damn good in my opinion

[mta415]

Willie Dixon and the label he was signed to had to sue the Zep to get their royalties from the songs of his they did. I love the Zep but right is right...

[ldprice2008]

Can anyone ID the Guitar make and model?

[YOUNGNSON]

BRILLIANT

[gusopo]

Impresionante

[keyjay217]

[rorypappa]

5 stars

[otaleal]

Awesome!!!

[jagermeisterAD]

Amazing. What year is this?

[50sResearchCenter]

Must have been The American Folk Blues Festival touring Europe in 1962. Matt played in Memphis Slim's backing band at the time. Slim settled in France after this tour, Matt went back to the States. "Memphis Slim at the Gate of the Horn" on VeeJay was my first album ever and I learned to play blues copying that record with Matt on guitar. It included "Steppin' Out" that Eric Clapton made famous with the Blues breakers and Cream. Matt's guitar solo on that track is amazing.

[50sResearchCenter]

I stand corrected: October 13, 1963 in Bremen, Germany. Memphis Slim was also on the 1962, but was reunited with Matt on the 1963 package tour.

[weejoesoap]

looks like the guywho played apollo creed!!! awee bit

[StaIIone]

yeah i know he does :P

but not really in this video.. ^^

[Baddoggone]

Fantastic, check out who it backing Matt.

[slobnoxious]

Willie backed up everybody back then!!!

[ErMatto1990]

matt murphy the best

[DeathRiderHDG]

what about Carl Weathers? also matt looks great for 80. i honestly thought he was born in the late 30s or early 40s

[ZeropointZero70]

reminds me of a young George Benson. Looks a bit like him too.

[jimihendrix1967]

i think he looks like eddie murphy

[ZeropointZero70]

yeah, kinda.

[accordianman5264]

unreal....amazing and whats funny is they look like there enjoying themselves and no effort. Thanks for the posting

[darius1616]

All master musicians.

Though it´s pretty complicated to play, they all look so easy when playing, they´re not trying to prove themselves - they don´t need to. And it all fits together so good!

[gustavoandrian]

Good ol' Willie Dixon !! ALWAYS present on that Bass!!!

[lobizoon1]

John Jackson on drums.

[MeBob23]

Nope. Billy Stepney.

[FranzBluesPiano]

Is it Memphis Slim on the piano?

It sounds like him.

Great video!

[jacopolago]

yes he is!!

[tuxguys]

The first time I ever saw or heard of him was as a part of James Cotton's band in Marietta, OH in the early '70's, opening for Muddy Waters (what a night THAT was!), and I couldn't believe this weight-lifter-looking BALD guy with the porkpie hat playing these bebop licks over the blues. Seven years later, I see him in the BB Movie, and it's the same guy. (At the Cotton show, he had "MATT MURPHY" on his guitar strap, so I know I'm right.) An under-appreciated giant.

[dertobetobetobe]

awesome, look at his brows!

[srluzbelito]

willie dixon on the bass??

[BanjoBoyMatteo]

It sure looks like him!

[MRROCK92]

right he is

[tur531]

yeah really good stuff. i can never find the song though.

[eric669]

this is years before he joined the Blues Brothers. It's taken from the American Folk Blues Festival, early Sixties, with the great Memphis Slim on piano and the greatest Blues songwriter on double bass, Willie Dixon.

[smallbruder]

Great stuff!

Thanks for posting!

Regards to boogie lovers ;)

[xipaul]

Super I love it

[WolfLupuis]

WOW!!!!

[marknewman49]

what is the song when they are in the mall called

[MMDandy]

I think it's "Can't Turn You Loose."

[dixoin56]

Swing it Matt Murphy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jkoff76]

I used to have this video in college.

You're gonna walk right out that front door, without your dry white toast, without your four fried chickens, and without MATT GUITAR MURPHY!!!

Sing it Aretha!!!

[superleeds73]

Fantastic !!!

[panzerschnott]

This is about as good as it gets, folks. thanks for posting this

[JeffInDFW]

The Blues Brothers allowed a whole new generation AND demographic to discover the incredible talents of the musicians in The Blues Brothers Band. Matt Guitar Murphy is such a talent, I can't find words. Thank you to whomever uploaded this wonderful video!

[off422]

cool

[bonnell11]

he dont miss a lick man

[ZeropointZero70]

Ahhh-Nice! Adding the jazz element into the blues! the way i like to hear it!

[Aminmojo]

Germany is the second Land of the blues...mostly all the Bluesmen played in GErmany several times...Hope im gonna play tere someday also

[Phixon87]

lol no

[zeppelin2392]

lol

[drachir11]

Damn that guy got long fingers :O

[Immaculate416]

Thats gotta be memphis slim on piano judging by how freakishly large his fingers are

[theshowmecanuck]

Matt played with Memphis Slim quite a bit.

[bimbler62]

otis spann on piano

[Immaculate416]

I'm pretty sure its memphis slim, I know that otis was there that night. But for this set I think piano players switched. Otis's fingers weren't that long, they were notoriously small.

[Immaculate416]

Plus it doesn't sound like Otis, the piano playing is much more jazzy than what Otis would play

[bimbler62]

i bow to your collective wisdom! all good stuff...check out nine below zero with sonny boy on this set if you havent already...

[stoelefj]

Thats no doubt Memphis Slim.. it is his style. wonderful video. =)

[CCLwoodstock]

Danke fürs uploaden - great!

[dirtyworkz]

yeeeehaaa i love it!!thanks for give us this brothers! SO niceee

[def48]

Wow has Otis got long fingers. Cool solo too.

[lldaddy]

This is the American Folk Blues Festival, in Germany.

[TypicalJoe1900]

I'm the man, and you're the woman, so I'll make the decisions concernin' my own life!

[jws54]

reptilian fingers on the piano

[JJ4207421]

i jus geeked so hard

[rabbyraptor]

I love that sound his guitar has! Nice video!

[mosescotton]

Wow, that's Willie Dixon on bass and I think it is Otis Span on the piano!!

[ClassicUndertaker120]

Matt is a really an amazing guitar player.

[ReneSlayer]

the longest solo i ever heard

[tomybandepesade]

man, is 2 minutes long!, fuck you

[icebytes]

this is not an "Solo" , it´s is Boogie.

Boogie had Rhythm , style.

[eric669]

he's really one of the top blues guitarist of all time. Maybe the fact that he never sang did not make for an even better career.

By far the best guitarist that Memphis Slim ever had. What a feeling those two together!

[jimmyhumuhumu]

yeah he is really good bt in times of modern equipment i think there are better ones for example brian setzer (I know it´s rock n roll and not blues but its comparable i think) robben ford or roy harrington

[jasminels94]

yah thats true im 14 and i have to admit this is pretty good hell its great but the things about all these old songs is if you listen to alot like i do someone put their name on it i could give you 5 at the top of my head all leading to one person,elvis i swear to you and every1 serch the songs and compare

[Aminmojo]

if you mean from the modern Musicians ..maybe...but i think that no one can say that Muddy Waters for exemple was Influenced by Elvis...but Elvis is Infleunced by Muddy

[jasminels94]

exactly what im saying :)

[pigasit]

good brow:)

[witgw]

who's he think he is? joe pas. good stuff.

[quialman666]
