Stacking one lick after another without repeating oneself. Incredible. There is not one rock guitarist out there that does not wish he or she had this much knowledge of the blues and these skills.
thats a freddie king instrumental called sen-sa-shun. personalized & extended of course by johnny. original was recorded in 1961. joe beaty....you out there?
@walker7261981 Another dumbass JIMI and J.W. were best of friends JIMI said i wish i could sound as blue.They never cut a album but they played together often.As a matter of fact they are the two best who ever lived or have lived. Remember woodstock?
@walker7261981 That's a pretty silly thing to say. Johnny and Jimi were friends and jammed at The Scene. Johnny attended the opening of Electric Lady Studio as Jimi's guest. Jimi was enormously respectful of Johnny's playing. But if you need help understand why Johnny was so popular you may want to look up Be Careful With A Fool. This predated AND. Jimi loved that!
@walker7261981 winter is 2 years younger than hendrix and picked up and played the guitar long before hendrix ever hit the scene. winter formed his first band in 1959. maybe you'd like to rethink your obviously uninformed comment
thanks so much for this video...i love it when after the bass solo (very nice flight of the bumblebee quote btw) and johnny re-enters, you can't tell whether the audience is cheering for the solo or for johnny returning! the entire band = on fire
Thanks man!!! Made my evening, and the women folk don' mine.

You're a little off with the Hendrix crack, Hendrix liked Johnny a lot as a player, I'm sure if Hendrix was still alive they would have cut an album.
