Walter Trout (and his talking guitar) at the Yale

[moseseseseses]

Whenever you hear a guitar have that somewhat bobwire scratchy sound, it is because the guitar has the lightest of the lightest of guage strings on it. Sometimes the tuning bridge keys need to be tightened up a bit too. I have always noticed that even though he has some good runs, his sound seems to have that scratchy sound. I wish he would use a heavier guage string on his guitar.

he's pretty good, but he's kinda grubby =p

Um, i didn't hear one single fuckin word

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

GOD LIKE@@@@@@@

[Samcubegamer]

haha sounds like the adults talking in charlie brown!!! EXCELLENT!!!

[hagslucky23]

not once in this whole video did his guitar talk, all he did was move his mouth with the rythm

[lstcougarlady]

hagslucky23, This video is very distorted due to the recording but it is evident that the guy is highly gifted. The Yale is small bar downtown Vancouver but they bring in excellent musicians all the time. A great place to pour the beer or drinks down until 4a.m.with small cover charge. BTW his guitar winds up nicely at 2:35 and onward.

he's doing a comedy bit. what he's doing is volume swells, and it is imitating talking in a way. but he's just joking. having fun.

[JartBansen]

wow never seen that before, awesome !!!

[scottishsanny]

What a guitarist....

[Buckeyecat2002]

Lowdown, greasy, wild, nasty, wicked.

[Deader87]

My kind of blues-rock, none of the slick Bernard Allison stuff. this stuff is more like it for me

[Odin33]

Walter, ich wußte schon seit Deinem Auftritt mit

John, was 'Slowhand' eigentlich heißt.

[soccerdog007]

Get the tribute CD : "Jimi Hendrix Flying in a Blue Dream". Walter Trout does 'Hey Joe' on there. It is by far the best song on a awesome CD; which is, by the way, loaded with talent. A became a fan after hearing it.

[srvfan79]

THis guy is awesome!!!

[Jack91Punk]

I'm off to watch him tonight.

Can't wait he's Fkin awesome :)

[randomcheesecake555]

i went 2 see them last night and i have to say he is the best player ive ever seen and that talking guitar thing is immense!

It's insanely hard to play notes and turn your volume-knob at the same time. well.........It's hard for me. To him never seems hard xD

[brownbigb]

it's volume swells. not that hard. the trick is to downstroke only, while you're doing it. can't make it work on alternate picking.

just practice downstrokes with turning the volume knob at the same time. if you just can't get it, get a volume pedal. same thing

[passiap]

he certainly is!!

[coulsonsam87]

walter trout is the man!!!!!
