Amazing feeling with exceptional technical ability!



[58Mellon]

Chris Cain knows the art of telling a story in his solo's. By changing his sound while playing he adds a lot of excitement to his notes. Sometimes it's like two people quarreling, like Gollem versus Smeagol. Briljant guy.

There's nobody better at this.

Jazz and Blues licks, now that is tasty!! Chris Cain is the bomba! Talent deserving wider recognition! Joe Pass and Freddie King at once!

[old6stringer]

There's a reason the Ford brothers consider Chris the best.

[hockey2204]

thems some tasty licks

[xjazzerx]

I've seen Chris many times.. Great player.. Underrated I might add too! His voice is amazing and he's such a humble guy..

[SkyDogJr]

Must have gone to the Elvin Bishop school of fasion.... Love the playing though...

[bigcumba]

Wow, this guy is amazing, there's a lot of good blues players around and it's great to see someone who does something a bit out of the ordinary.

[taildragger51]

Wow, what PURE tone and superb feel. Crystal clear Gibson ES-335 tone. I love this type of sound above any over processed guitar tones.

[impala666]

So tasty and fluid.

On my 60th birthday I had the woman I was dating go to see Chris with me at the Little Fox. This is a great place to hear live music. It's not a Blue's Bar like the Saloon, but it's got a good crowd and decent acoustics. Chris is a master guitarist. Simple. He is never discussed with the other greats, but he is really in their league. He plays all over but is based in San Jose. If you have a chance to see him, do it!

first time i heard chris cain on some mp3's on the internet some years back,i was like wow!!!!,this man has some SERIOUS CHOPS!.he is VERY tasteful.using also jazz touches within the blues if he needs to.

[Tonio77s]

Chris Cain is the perfect bluesman . Humble and generous . Thanks a lot for sharing .

[ronpurser]

What amp is he using there?

[Timology84]

It's an old MusicMan amp, not sure what year but I've never seen him use anything else. He cranks that little thang!

[funkyjones]

He used a Mesa/boogie. I remember he would crank all the eq sliders to the top cuz that's the way he liked it.

:)

[MrXjazzx]

If you think this video is great, see him Live.. He is a great player. .Lot's of feel and impressive chops..

[remingtonride]

wow

[woicle]

Thanks for posting the great clip! Who's that on keyboard?

[kimbosound]

Is that John Ryder on the Bass?

[MrXjazzx]

The bass player is DeWayne Pate. He's a monster. One of the best.. Played with Robben Ford too.

[louisianaBluesBoy]

chris has fingers of gold so full of tone.I love it,just guitar and amp.He is a true bluesman,by far the best their is.

[BackToTheBlues]

Guitar straight into the amp is the best way for a true tone. Trying to figure out what gauge strings he plays - that bit where he bends the pitch up by pressing the dead string between the bridge and tailstop - that's a hell of a tension there, he must be using pretty light strings or he has fingers of steel!

[lostkarkeys]

He uses 10-46's and its all in the fingers!

[Tonio77s]

I've never heard anyone playing so good

That's the blues I love .

[crobacon]

Chris is the MAN!! Most under rated blues guy today! Best modern blues man period!

[MrXjazzx]

Chris is the Man.. Chatted with him at Larry Blakes in Berkeley years ago when a friend was a bartender there. Just saw him twice in Antioch,Ca.. blues fest last year and then a couple months ago.. Nice guy and so much feel to his playing and his chops are great! Funny guy too.

[Hazafi4life]

blues so thick..you can wear it like a coat to keep you warm in a storm. Yeah that's the way I like it...I'll take mine in a 40R..how about you?
