Eldon Shamblin - 1986 Rare Singing Performance

[davebob65]

i knew mr. shamblin, met him in turkey texas way back when. nice guy.

[gregglatz]

This whole concert, their last, is now up on YouTube. Just do a search for "Texas Playboys" and "1986". They were an incredible band, made up of first-rate veteran musicians who could still send all of us to the woodshed. Would love to see a DVD of this concert issued. And it's time someone wrote an Eldon Shamblin method book.

Jimi Hendrix used to listen to this guy and called him a "pretty heavy guitar player" once in an interview.

Greatest rhythm guitarist who ever lived!...And not too bad a "lead" player from this video!! I've played for 40+ years and this guy would play "chords" that I had NEVER seen!!! Once in a lifetime player right there!! Thanks for posting this....

This is a nice video. Thanks for posting it. Which records are best for listening to Eldon's guitar work? It seems like a lot of the Bob Wills stuff I've heard, he's kinda buried under the rest of the group, and just about everyone BUT Eldon plays a solo.

"S'wonderful" with Joe Venuti, "Ride With Bob", Asleep at the Wheel,

[Joeey]

the guitar he is playing is the first Fender Stratocaster made and it was a gift to him from Leo Fender.

one of my idols , eldon was a sweet ol picker, i was about 18 when i met him he told me to play what i felt , and play for the song, 2 pieces of advice i still cling to, that was around 1973 my best friend steve was married to his daughter missy, we talked about music , and jammed alot at his house on king pl. in tulsa, he taught me so much, rip eldon you were 1 of a kind

"Aww the boys, Eldon and Leon!"-Bob Wills

Mr. Shamblin is truly one of the greatest there ever was.

[Pohlweevil]

eldon shamblin

a guitar vertuoso

[resopicker]

PRICELESS!!!!

[stude1953]

Check out that Fender Strat he's using. It's one of the most important guitars ever made! Eldon was the MAN and will be surely missed.

[Tamborr]

A guitar master!

[easguitar]

Look at the way Eldon incorporates bass runs so effortlessley with chord voicings up and down the neck and his flawless sense of swing-that should provide years of homework assignments for the rest of us guitar players!

[xms32]

Very well said.

Eldon....

One of the greatest guitarist of all time.

Especially important to anyone who appreciates electric guitar...

[soofan01]

The greatest, and the one and only. Eldon was so far ahead of his time it's unbelievable.
