@SRV32566 Sorry I hear guys play like this all the time--SRV COPY guys--if this is JAZZ to you I suggest you sign up for a musical education. You are the ignorant one.
@bluesatbirth sorry but i WILL prove you wrong if you want me to. look up chris duarte big legged woman georges music store in orlando and tell me if you hear any SRV copy in that. i dont even think he uses the pentatonic in that song. then come back to me and say chris duarte is a SRV copy cause hes not, go see him live and you wont even coprehend what he does. do some re-search before you go around acting like you know what your saying. thank you and have a fucking great day... asshole.
@SRV32566 Your vulgar comment proves how inmature you are. My research is from 55 yrs. in this business--toured and shared the stage with names you probably never listened to--my comment that he is just copying SRV was pertaining to this song. Oh--by the way I use more than the pentatonic scale--but I don't profess to be great. People enjoy my vocals and guitar work because it's me--and it's what BLUES should be--EMOTION !
@bluesatbirth you must not know what your talking about. because i guarentee you this guy would blow you mind away, your ignorance isnt my fault. sorry man you must need some schooling for music, chris is the most original guitarist i know of. he may be doing some SRV licks here but chris is from SRV's era, and from austin texas.. if you were an actual musician, youd respect what this guy does. instead of making an ass of yourself just please, consider looking up that video i was talking about.
@SRV32566 I have respect for many players --my taste and musical ear guides me to what I like. This tune is SRV copy--the other tune you speak of is more funk--nothing out of the ordinary. Sorry I can't get into his vocals--or his playing--that's my taste. My suggestion to you read the book--This Is Your Brain On Music--Daniel Levitan-- then maybe you will understand why I have respect for the players that move me.
@bluesatbirth fair enough, but it aggravates me when people doubt this guy. my attitude towards this is you cant judge a book by its color. and when people call chris a SRV copy im goin to say something about it, your opinion is yours and i respect that... but dont fuck with chris duarte. hahahahaha i mean that in the nicest way possible.
@SRV32566 All you have to do is read the other comments--I'm not the only one who said he sounds like SRV on this tune. If you read the book you might be able to understand why even some "musicians' can't hear musically what other 'musicians" hear. Many people listen--but they can't hear---proven fact. Read the book and you will understand what I just said.
@bluesatbirth damnit, if you wanna get into this again we can, i can distinctively hear a difference between SRV and chris duarte, if chris were to play a SRV song, i could say within a few notes that im listening to chris duarte. but chris plays texas blues, and thats how it sounds, if youve had 55 years of experience, shouldnt you already know that? chris is also a john coltrane copy, but thats jazz and i know you couldnt even put a foot in that door. i dont need some stupid book.
@SRV32566 CD & SRV--almost every other comment hears SRV in this tune ? Why dont' you ? JC is not my ear for jazz--I play Jazz and also dabble in classical. Your comment--don't need no stupid book points out your close-minded ness and your inmaturity. People like you--who are lost musically really need to read the book.
@bluesatbirth i hear it too, but chris's texas blues style sounds like that.... but whatever man. if you aint got anything good to say about chris, then go the fuck away! and my close-mind ness, well let me point out im 17 and i know im imature.... ive got alot of growing up to do! so BOOM fuck you!
@SRV32566 Chris loved Stevie, but what we also get is the legacy of Albert King, and Freddie King too - in fact - that's where Stevie got those licks, and he was quick to admit it!!
everytime i watch him i wonder what drugs he does that cause him to wanna move so damn much and make those facial expressions lol great guitar skill though, so they must be workin
Love Chris! Happy to have him living in GA now. First time i saw him could not believe all that was coming out of a 3 man band. Love my blues funky and he's got that sound down!
Dude kicked substantial ass tonight in Omaha, NE........he has never received the credit he deserves. And polite, humble and accessible. I shook his hand in thanks after the show. Pass it on.
@v2vroth you need to see kws live, and listen. chris will never gather the crowds kenny does. many people can do this. sounds like you need to go out more. dont fight it. kws .
@wmc1103 Have seen him twice and both times thought, he is a good SRV CLONE! ( Not a bad cat to clone) but why listen to Kenny one dimensional when I can go straight to the source and listen to Stevie. KCS isn't a bad player just boring and no identity. Try listening to Colin James, Mason Rufner, Ian More, as they are great creative players in the Blues idiom..always glad to help the Blues impaired.
@wmc1103 Oh that explains it. I gave you a list of players that a true Blues fan would know and you give me John Mayer back..lol ..I get it you only listen to stuff that the other yuppie Blues Lawyers like..btw John Mayer is a ton more original than Kenny Clone...I feel kind today so you should also check out Johnny Copeland, Joe Lewis Walker , Philip Sayce, Mark May and well ( he is now getting press so sure you have heard about him) Joe Bonamassa..good luck buddy.
@v2vroth ive heard and seen all but mark may. i guess my bar is just higher. thanks again, bro. btw, srv "not a bad cat to clone"? by that that did u mean greatest ever by a country mile? or u just dont think so. which proves my point. u just dont get it. good luck. oh, Barry Richmand.
@wmc1103 I meant (as we all know) SRV was a God so not a bad choice of a person to clone. Most people with guts want to be original unlike Kenny Clone suburbanite . As for Mark May when you do find him listen with both ears as he Rocks, The Allman Brothers tried to nab him to replace Warren Haynes,Doubt you heard of Warren. Been a blast , I can only waste so much time.Go back to your little office cubical but make sure you wear your Kenny clone shirt for dress down Friday .( I am done)
@v2vroth no, we (as in everyone) didnt know. but we now see, after youve backtracked. whatever. not everyone cares so much about originality. besides, most original songs suck, most the public only hears a small fraction, (the best of them). when he copies srv, he's letting you know no one else can do it and no one b 4 has done it. there r specific licks to look 4. if u listen to his songs u will hear originality. he has his own voice. no one alive can do what kws does on guitar.
I obviously like duarte (look at my nick), he's a great guitar player, the only thing I don't like at all is that sometimes he tends to be a copy of SRV...
@SRV32566 I know chris is an excellent jazz player too and I know that when playing jazz he has a totally different style, but I was talking only about his Blues style...you can agree that it's really similar to Stevie (and I'll bet you're a SRV fan from your nick :) )
@StevieRayMatt haha yes you got that right, but what ive always wanted to get clear is Stevie Ray sounded soo much like Albert King and Jimi Hendrix, and even though SRV was compared to his idols, he was never called a clone. then i see comments on chris, people saying hes a Stevie Ray clone, but chris is a fantastic musician who goes outside the box and people dont realize that there in the presence of a guitar god! i just want the world to see that. haha sorry to jump on you.
Chris is Stevie Ray in incarnate! Caught him at Riccochet down in Ft. Myers, never heared of him, and was blown away before his first song was done. I believe he had red Converse All Stars on then ... SMOKIN'!!! ROCK ON CHRIS and many thanks for opening my eyes a bit more.!!!
maybe he sounds slightly like SRV becuase hes playin a 63 strat? similartone he rips it up! but Stevie, not...... still im hooked onya CD
