Derek Trucks SHREDDING Mamaronck High School Auditorum

[juffurey]

you can't shred with a slide. or even in blues

[RoboticusMusic]

RIP DANIEL CARS

[TheMrClamberto]

Oh how nice it is to be a student at MHS. Yeah for some reason we get these ridiculous musicians to play here from time to time. We had Maynard Ferguson a few years ago. It might be because we have an absolutely phenomenal jazz band which is actually somewhat well known around here.  And some person raised money.

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

@supersentz first off im not a kid and stop hatin... grow up dude this guy has a talent that your born with... hes fantastic and if u dont like him u dont have to tell the whole world... thats just my two cents... piece

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

@supersentz would u please shut the hell up and stop hating.... Dude if Derek Trucks came to my school I'd freak. Hes up on the shoulders of the greats like clapton,srv,beck,B.B, etc. Him and joe Bonamassa are bringing back the blues thing. You don't have to watch it. Go listen to some shitty alternative rock

[meehee45]

watiwait

Mamaroneck NY??

...shit thats 10 minutes away from my house.

[changing3]

@supersentz You're probably a young person who thinks that speed is the necessary element for great musicianship on the guitar. Only age and experience (hopefully) will rid your mind of that delusion.

[pressplayllc]

@supersentz are u high? holy fuck, he might as well be making sweet sweet love to that guitar. o wait he is

[RedDragon52]

@supersentz The maybe you should redefine what you think 'shredding' is.

[cornholio530]

he killed them softer than dave chapelle

[jonwootten1]

That is the raddest thing I've ever seen...

[shitoryu8]

Its "So Close So Far Away" from his album

[smp156]

WTF?!?!? why does this video say "mamaroneck high school?"

i went 4 years to Mamaroneck HS... wtf?!?!

[Joeey]

cool. the stage spins like a wheel and no one falls off.

[DJMelon100]

i was there for this haha

[dsleeperhold]

This owns.

[Wumbum311]

mamaroneck new york? no shit

[batherbutt777]

Anyone trying to cop derek's tone definately needs a Blackfaced Super.

One of the holy grails of amps in my opinion. Derek Trucks Rules..

[pennylessHippie]

Can someone tell me why the hell he's playing at a high school?

[busstopratbag]

a lot of high schools these days have state of the art auditoriums. theres a high school near my town that has a bunch of great acts playing. OCMS, Brand Carlile, etc.

[Danjd1]

this kid organized it, raised the money to pay him and rented the space.

[alexsuperdude]

@Danjd1 how much did it they pay him?

[MrHardrod2]

@Danjd1 I know this dude who works for some I.T. company and they had their Christmas party, the CEO hired Van Halen band to play for a private showing at a coliseum which the CEO also rented and they had drinks and food while Van Halen played at the party.

[Fukkyew]

This is awesome! I was at that show, I graduated from MHS in '02 and couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them, Such a good show, I waited for him afterwards in the Senior Lot and got to shake his hand.....so cool.

[oyoteplan]

this is mamaroneck high??? i'm from rye one town over. WTF why didnt he come there???

[duane1allman]

I love how dereks vintage amp sounds. I just wish I could show him my vintage '71 super reverb. DEREK IS THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER OF OUR TIME!!!

[Ebmajor7]

A VINTAGE '71?! OH MAN YOURE SOOOOO COOL. Derek could make a toaster plugged into a tennis racket sound ten times better than you, you daft fucker. Do you think Derek would give a DAMN about your amp? Hed probably ask why the fuck you were showing off. Youre the kind of person that gives guitar players a bad name.

[guitarsfrommars]

uh look at that comment...your the one giving guitarists the so called "bad name" that they apparently have.

[Ebmajor7]

Maybe i'd respect the very valid point you're trying to make if you had some basic knowledge of grammar. Unofotunately, you dont.

Guitar players have a knack for focusing too hard on gear "duane1allman" is completely missing the point. Its not the amp that sounds good. A vintage fender doesnt make any noise by itself.

[guitarsfrommars]

Oh i thought you were talking about guitarists having a bad name for being cocky and your comments seem pretty cocky but whatever I really don't care

[Ebmajor7]

I am. Im a bastard, but id rather be talented and knowledgeable than a fool.

[guitarsfrommars]

haha good point

[RickLLNL]

Since Derek USES (or used to use) 1965 and 1968 Super Reverbs, I bet he would enjoy seeing and listening to this guy's '71 version.

[TheEarthBlues]

LMAO at this Ebmajor7 kid. Grow up. The guy made a simple comment saying Derek would love to check out his '71, and I'm sure Derek would love to play on a '71 if he hasn't ready.

Even putting that aside you're completely wrong when you say "Its not the amp that sounds good".

An amp is arguably more important than the guitar when it comes to sound. A $5000 Fender Strat will sound like shit on a cheap little Squier amp.

It all comes down to the guitarists and his fingers but gear's important.

[DavidCasper]

Bahaha.

It's usually best not to insult someone's grammar, then misspell the next word ("unfortunately"), proceeding to follow THAT with a sentence with improper grammar.

Also, you're right in putting the primary importance on the guitarist himself, but you can't just write off the gear like it's unimportant. Heck, it's part of the guitarist's decision to even use the gear that he does.

[jsl209]

ur gay

[saywhatchester]

derek trucks is god

[PitwrkzZ1]

I was at this show! just sooo smooth and relaxing

[guitarhero240]

seriously i wish my school was cool enough to have derek trucks play there...

[milktrey]

how the hell do i get derek trucks in my school?????!!!!!

[Jack458111]

win the lunchables mail in "have derek trucks come to your school!" contest

[coolmodine]

LOL

[bluesyblues1]

YOu have got to be kidding me dogred61 Derek Trucks is the best guitar player to walk this planet.

[haisija]

I think Derek is one of the most original guitarists out there now. Defintaely know where much of his influence comes from and I think its a real honor.

[coolguit]

Derek is one of the true original guitarists. Even before reaching age of 10, he started jamming with All Man Brothers. I saw him last year with Eric clapton, and he was amazing.

[padhaiwd]

whoever posted the comment before me is a fucking loser, derek is the most original guitarist out

[dogred61]

how much more boring and derivative can a talented musician be? what a waste of great skills. Play something original, man.

[Clint313]

Ha ha ha haha hahaha dogred61 that's a good one. I can't stop laughing.

[z32j10h]

i hope u are bein sarcastic man....i dont think eric clapton calls just anyone on their cell phone to come join his band.....

[coolmodine]

With Doyle in there as well, it's like he's got better versions of Jimi and Duane backing him up. Shit rocks.

[pakk82]

@z32j10h imagine that, eric clapton is not the best guitarist evar but hes like, say, Michael jackson of the guitar worlld.

[cmhcds]

how is that not original?? who else can play like derek trucks

[styxspinner]

your a dumbass :)

[JoHaN1391]

yup

[537Doug]

the kid is like a medium or something...he couldn't be anymore talented...or could he :D

[kingrussIII]

[JoHaN1391]
