He's a good local guy to watch, good showmanship. BUT, not a "living legend". Nothing of what he plays is his own, so that's the difference. But, more importantly, if you know him he's the pretentious person ever, always selling himself. Talented, yes, but so is fourth chair violinist in the Phoenix Symphony. "Pride is the greatest sin".
Sorry... but, he's Terrible very Sloppy he tries too hard trying to be S. R. V.,
Too bad he doesn't have what it takes to do what Stevie, can do on his guitar. Paying good money at this guys show is a total Waste of money. His guitar playing is
Crap! alot of Sloppy Noise, And Hendrix he is definitely Not. PERIOD.
@LASVEGASNYC He's a unique guitar player and loves it......he's not tryin' to be anybody like S.R.V., or Hendrix. But since they both have passed on he fills that place!!! I think he's awesome!!
dunno what amp carvin is using here..but he sounds better through the fender tweed he uses with a ibanez tube screamer.....that ol fashioned strat blues tone makes y wanna smash every les paul you ever owned..(maybee not)..lol
This guy is awesome. Saw him many times at the Red Owl in AZ. It's cool when you can do things local. Mad Props! Stevie Ray Vaughn is the shit too! RIP
lol are u kidding this guy is amazing, so what if he plays a couple of bum notes, clapton, hendrix, all the greats did it ... carvin jones is a savage guitar player with mad skills lol :P
sloppy out of tune bum notes...say what you want...i have seen carvin a few times...and his enthusiasm brims over...a real nice guy... he is best in a packed pub..he reely comes alive...worth seeing
You guys don't know the blues! His guitar is out of tune? So what? He doesn't play any 7th 9th chords? Are you kidding- every chord is a 7th or 9th! I have watched guys that knew more chords, could do this and that, but so fucking what? the blues is about freedom and feeling and haveing a good time when life is real hard. Most of you don't understand that and therefor shouldn't even comment. So Fuck you!
I try to give most blues players the benifit of the doubt but this is a very bad rip off of texas flood and sloppy ass playing to boot damn man speed kills shit slow down and play the chords right......
Carvin Jones and Kenny Wayne Sheppherd:the most anonymous guitarists on earth.
Just only my opinion,but this guys are both the worst guitarists today!!CJ is just only a bad showman,not a guitarist;KWS emulating SRV,not a guitarist!!
7 mins 21 seconds I'll never get back. 1st, tune that guitar - 2nd I waited for the "sumtin of his own" and never saw it - 3rd a true bluesman from AZ is Mr. Chuck Hall - the new Jimi Hendrix? Please....
Carvin ya need ta get tagether with joe bonamassa and sort ya soundman out-grt talent bad soundman

Very dramatic fingers: overly dramatic.
You see the fingers look like they're playing Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhodes, and you hear something else: out of tune, jerky, cosmic slop blues.
If Clapton is old "Slow Hand," this guy is old "Fast Sleight of Hand."
A. Slow your roll, man.
B. Tune your guitar.
C. Let your fingers do the talkin' and not just the walkin'.
D. Better to say a lot with a little than a little with a lot.
Screech, splotch, twang, twing, Ha, ha!

eldo56 4 years ago
I agree man, saw him a year ago and thought he needed to calm the fuck down and play the guitar.
Yes he can play, but it's all wanky I IV V progressions with no tasty 7th / 9th / 13th chords.
Hendrix and Stevie would turn in their graves... they had taste and soul.
OK My rant is over...
