Great song Kenny!!! I just wish that you were as forthcoming on who REALLY sang the song, as you were with the PROPER way you play the song on the guitar!!! You had me thinking it was you(as in the video???)... Hmmm, If I was the singer in your band, I'd be pissed off about that one....
@gothembadboy1 "the singer in his band". exactly, haha. its his band, he writes their material. this is just about the only band where the lead man isn't the singer, let him have his moment to shine man, you realize his father-in-law is mel gibson? thats gotta have sucked since like 2005. let him have a guitar center session...
Just can't believe how many jealous people have commented on this video. JEALOUSY, one of the seven deadly sins. He is talented and HE MADE IT. You haven't so keep taking lessons
Blue on Black was one of my favorites. I can remember sitting on the hood of my car down by the wayside on a hot summer day listening to it over and over. It had a personal meaning when I was younger. (still does) Ive grown to appreciate Kenny more and more as an entertainer. Back then I was just the young yuppy chic with a crush on a famous guy who might just happen to her town and whisk her away.. I'm gonna learn to play this and post it later. Kenny luv ya and wont post it without a shirt!
Hey Kenny, since you said you look at these videos, there is a slideshow by Curtis Mitchell, "Play'n Rock'n Roll" and it has a picture of you. His comment is that these slides are pictures of musicians that are the best of the best. I know Curtis and he is originally from Shreveport, but lives in Dallas now.
How could anybody ever hear a high e string playing in this song? WTF, i've never watched this before and could hear how it was supposed to be played YEARS ago.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
listen john mayer wipes the floor with KWS ,,,, fact ,,,,, aside from a great tone at times the skinny wire haired fuck spends to much time talkin from his brown eye,god id like to wipe the skinny cunts clock!!!! anyway hes an average arrogant cliche ,,,,, so fuck him off!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, I'm the shirtless guy he mentions at the beginning. That's pretty funny man. I only did videos to share them with my Dad so when we got together to play he would know the songs. A lot of my recordings are usually right after I run so that's why I always got my shirt off. Oh well! Funny stuff anyways!
@cepifer I think the guy he was talking about is DocHolliday (/watch?v=LYS28cbbzfc&feature=related), the one doing a lesson. Either way, I think he's a douche for making fun of guy who is just a humble fan, an amateur guitarist trying to teach the song to a kid who asked for it.
Come on, l hate John Mayer to but he really is light years ahead of this dude. Who the fuck cares if you mute the high E, still sounds like a garage band.
dude he rocks and everything but i bet he watch the john mayer video when he talks about his right hand. make you sure you watch before anyone startas talking shit.
@dnnysrock - If you mean that learned from John Mayer with respect to his right hand playing, this song was recorded 4 years before JM released his first album. I am not bagging on JM, but KWS was a blues star before anybody had ever heard of John Mayer. That being said, I like JM's playing style better when he plays blues.
@forre65413 i mean the explanation he gives . there's a video of mayer talking about crossroads .
mayer's playing is on a whole other lever. is in my opinioon he is out there with srv , hendrix etc.. but i don't know i'm just saying thath kws is a good player but he is not going to be a legend or something like that if we just focus on his playing
@dnnysrock you are an idiot, Kenny Wayne Shepherd came before John Mayer
So stop going off about things when you don't even know what you are talking about, Why would he be getting pointers from John Mayer? If anything it was the other way around.
he could have pointed out a very simple mistake made by basic players with out sounding so patronizing's .particularly as i have yet to see him play this song live any where near as good a she does in the studio.
@jimpage62it "as most artists don't douchebag" must be most artists that you listen to .i must have a higher standard "what the fuck have you done lately" i see i must have sold more cds to qualify as a critic of a guy whos being a dick and holding pepole to a standard that he miserably fails to live to himself.think before you post you nasty little gobshite

I think Kenny Wayne needs to cut his hair!! Noah is better looking now than he looks in this vid!!! two very talented players!! Noah's voice is AMAZING!!
What an ass...making fun of people genuinely helping others learn songs on YT ~ yeah some are good, bad and close. But no one is KWS; so all lessons are educated guesses. Too bad; maybe he could learn few other licks from some YT lessons instead of the same SRV recycled B.S.. I was hoping age/maturity would catch up to him - but obviously that isn't going to happen.
yeah except when the "lesson" that they are talking about will NOT help players to learn the song correctly. if you're going to legitimately call it a LESSON then at LEAST have the skill to know the song almost verbatim (as well as the skill to know when you're wrong) to the original so that the song that is wished to be learned is ACTUALLY TAUGHT, not just bullshitting similar chords together to resemble the original. that is called a poser; not a musician.
the band should really be called 'shepherd and hunt'.....i really like kenny wayne, but why should he get all the credit when he doesn't even sing his own songs.
wow three fuckin chords, i cant believe he even said anything about people playing it wrong.. who gives a shit, there are ten kids on my street that can play better than this dude
So many "celeb" guitar players will not take the time to tell you shit. So I took his comments as a helpful hint, not as being arrogant. Great song Kenny !
@cvms123 no one has an excuse to be full of yourself i get mad when i hear clapton was arrogant and chuck berry was arrogant b/c thats just really not how a person especially one who is a role model to kids should be
i've always loved this song since when i first on the radio around middnight (or even later), and been searching for this since like there is no tomorrow.
@SiskNBAS hes a great player and everything, but theres a difference between confidence and being full of yourself. all im saying is i dont like his personality. i mean if i were him i really wouldnt care that ppl are playing my song wrong.but hes a badass guitarist thats for sure
@leavittobeaver just like the guys from metallica aren't legends. no way. the only reason kenny wouldnt be a legend is because he plays a style of music that is no longer radio savvy...
KWS is absolutely awesome! I'm searching one of his songs but i can't remember the name! The Intro remembers me of Little Wing by Hendrix! Does one of you know which song i mean?
These two are both so bad ass! Kenny is a top shelf player! Period! He is one of the best blues-rock guitar players ever! Noah is such a good singer too. His voice is so gritty.
@weathered79 ahahahahaha...He's a great guitarist...but to claim he could, "blow john mayer away with one hand." well that is just plain foolish! Mayer is an elite guitarist, I doubt that KWS could play anything that JM couldn't. You might need to listen to some more JM blues tunes.
Great song indeed! “song almost didn’t make it” I don’t know what it is or how to explain it, but certainly things like this meant to be. Gonna be a classic in the future. Simple and beautiful: The best blend. F-sharp note in the D chord issue is 100% right!!! It does make a hell of a difference. I strongly believe that when you play other’s music you must respect the fundamentals. Otherwise you distort what the author want to express and transmit. Excellent lesson to the “YouTube teachers”
It is his song, he is telling guitarists how to play it correctly, if you are too lazy to do it right then go play your tunes don't hatchet someone else's
How does a Dm pentatonic scale work over this D C G type progression? Anyone understand the theory here? If it was a D blues, wouldn't the progression need to be D G A only? It obviously works, just want to understand why....
@fishmank27 It's really just a matter of isolating the common tones within the Dm pentatonic and choosing those that would fit into the respective chord changes.
I know its probably already been said, but the whole thing that he said about the hight "E" string on on the d chord is kind of funny because you play some of the other videos of them playing the same song. The lead singer is playing a regular d chord. Or at least that is what it looks like to me.
I wish my guitar was black so you could blow on it and after blewing on black (not to confused with an porno) I could sound maybe close. I think even now you'd be like nice man...now watch this, and then surrender further chops...cause bruce lee's demonstration, demolished me.
Kenny and Noah are the best duo coming into the market of rock n' blues in a long, long time! They float between genres effortlessly and are as down to earth as their music. I have heard them, met them and enjoyed their music for years and it is always solid and incredibly deep thinking, yet fits every situation. Gifted!
The rest (in my opinion) is just typical blues tracks. They're good listening music, but Blue on Black is a work of art that will last forever. (I should be so lucky to achieve one fantastic song) It's an amazing accomplishment.
@ potterman83 r u serious - SRV himself said he stole a lot for Albert King "his mentor". Listen to Albert and you'll hear it. Stevie also said that's what you do: "you take stuff from a lot of different players and incorporate it".
music in general is a gift, for all who can actually make it. Not everyone can play guitar let alone n e other kind of insturment. But for those that can, no matter how good he/she may be, if it's from the heart...it's all good!! Shredders included, lol
Ya know, here on youtube people sit around and cut real talent down. Music is great no matter what level you are at. It all comes from our heart. If you have no heart you know nothing about music....
Its the Octavio ...man.

I strongly believe that when you play other’s music you must respect the fundamentals. Otherwise you distort what the author want to express and transmit. Excellent lesson to the “YouTube teachers”

It is his song, he is telling guitarists how to play it correctly, if you are too lazy to do it right then go play your tunes don't hatchet someone else's

How does a Dm pentatonic scale work over this D C G type progression? Anyone understand the theory here? If it was a D blues, wouldn't the progression need to be D G A only? It obviously works, just want to understand why....

@fishmank27 It's really just a matter of isolating the common tones within the Dm pentatonic and choosing those that would fit into the respective chord changes.

I know its probably already been said, but the whole thing that he said about the hight "E" string on on the d chord is kind of funny because you play some of the other videos of them playing the same song. The lead singer is playing a regular d chord. Or at least that is what it looks like to me.

I wish my guitar was black so you could blow on it and after blewing on black (not to confused with an porno) I could sound maybe close. I think even now you'd be like nice man...now watch this, and then surrender further chops...cause bruce lee's demonstration, demolished me.

@MusicMedic5150 Untrue, you CAN'T play without BOTH hands, they are equally important.

Kenny and Noah are the best duo coming into the market of rock n' blues in a long, long time! They float between genres effortlessly and are as down to earth as their music. I have heard them, met them and enjoyed their music for years and it is always solid and incredibly deep thinking, yet fits every situation. Gifted!

fatchuk812 2 years ago
have you even listened to any of his other stuff, or are you basing that solely on the fact that you haven't heard it on the radio?
sultanofsick 2 years ago 2
No, I've listened to all of his recorded stuff.
The rest (in my opinion) is just typical blues tracks. They're good listening music, but Blue on Black is a work of art that will last forever. (I should be so lucky to achieve one fantastic song) It's an amazing accomplishment.

@ potterman83 r u serious - SRV himself said he stole a lot for Albert King "his mentor". Listen to Albert and you'll hear it. Stevie also said that's what you do: "you take stuff from a lot of different players and incorporate it".

music in general is a gift, for all who can actually make it. Not everyone can play guitar let alone n e other kind of insturment. But for those that can, no matter how good he/she may be, if it's from the heart...it's all good!! Shredders included, lol
