Aynsley Lister playing to B.B. King style track

[stuartjonez]

he looks he from S club 7 lol, awesome player

[Cosimo248]

THIS IS BLUESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS



[FUXIMUSIC]

great playing

[MorroccoM13]

Aynsley, you're the freshest guitar player to come along for quite awhile. Love your playing.

[gibsonpaf]

Great Aynsley brilliant interpretation of B B King

[RickInRock84]

That facial expression from 0:01, like a sort of: "mmm yeah ok, i can get it ! " LOL

[Eladina]

dude that was wickeddddd

loved it!!!! keep on bluesing!

[2501Leon]

realy nice !!!!!!!!

[gedyssc]

that sounds sweet

[ibrahimbawi]

One of the good tips to understand BB king style is his usage of the pentatonic scales. He usually connect two scales at the same time and he use this space to create a third scale between those two and that will add more varity to his options of blues notes and licks.

[motorhead1995able]

i gave only the audio to one of my friends and said ''ok bb king is god nothing else to say'' then i gave him this link. he said ''wtf?"

[fitz715]

the problem is listening to this guy makes me want to put the damn guitar down and take up golf and not purchase backing tracks

[fistsoulja]

@acidraz & opilus & 66page

You dumbass 14 year old bitches... learn to appreciate music. If you like to hear Guthries slow impros then type "Guthrie Govan Cold Winter Blues" and "Guthrie Govan Prowling Blues" and listen carefully with your retarded ears. If you don't understand fast passages in music then go and listen Lady Gaga.

...Great playing from Ansley though...

P.S: Sorry for my bad english

[StratFrank]

this guy looks like a dyke.

[zachNewYork]

@StratFrank  LOL THAT'S FUNNY!!!

[daneeOo]

oh my god, thats just too much of awesomeness.

[Monsterdrumma]

@DistortedV12 Yeah but this is how B. B. King would play and this is a B. B. King style blues video.

[mnaicck]

damn, the blues nazis are out in force.

This kid is good.

wth is guthrie?

[66page]

guthrie plays notes aynsley feels them

[66page]

guthrie plays aynsley feeling thats the differance

[acidraz]

dathiroz where was the criticism about any musician one here? the retard I was talking about was you.... no further posts will be made

[acidraz]

the original post was just saying Aynsley is a Great player, a new breed with all the style, taste and pickin skills of the old, keeping traditional blues style guitar alive and well. Aynsley got the blues!!!!

[acidraz]

@dathiroz this is an old post but the retards keep coming out of the woods, Audio science is what it sounds like.....the science of audio, not playing music but recording and producing it, and to do that you must also understand the theory and music composition. If you read all my posts I never slandered anyone's playing ability only the title of Blues guitar player, which guthrie is not, and if you are claiming he is, you are retarded, he is awesome at speed playing, no one said he wasnt

[deadithink]

This was boring as hell to me. It's like he wasn't even listening to the track behind him. I was able to predict every note this guy was gonna play, and now I see people alluding to him being a great blues player?? Guthrie does blues much better than this guy because he has the feel.

[MorroccoM13]

enjoyed this much

[acidraz]

listen to the nuance and the blues, sorry but Guthrie is not a blues guitarist at all, he's great but blues is not his cup of tea..... blues isnt about being theatrical or a speed demon. its about expressing a feeling and its not speed licks that gets the message across. Aynsley is doin it right.

[skeezrus]

@acidraz

Its all about phrasing and feeling. Aynsley has it! Unfortunately this is lost among many listeners. His tone, phrasing, style, et al. are superb!

[reaperofgenocide]

@acidraz Aynsley is doing it more in a classic manner, that doesnt mean that guthrie shouldnt play blues in his own style. His speed isnt only show but compliments his phrasing too.

And what do you mean by this "its about expressing a feeling and its not speed licks that gets the message across"?

Theres alot of fast musicians who are great at what they do. Are you bias against fast music? Or are you one of those ppl who cant hear emotion in fast music?

[acidraz]

lol I used to play professionally and have a degree in music and audio science. Guthrie is a great guitar player but lets not throw the word blues into his playing he might use blues scales or stole a note or 2 from the masters, but blues he's not. As far as fast music, the heart beats to the music and if its 100 mph then theres about only 2 emotions you are gonna get from that. Not saying fast music isnt talent, I just dont like people branding someone with a title they dont deserve.

[reaperofgenocide]

@acidraz Are you telling me that its impossible to feel something from fast music because of how fast the heart beats? I strongly doubt a heart beat determines if music sounds good to somebody or if it sounds bad. I dont think Guthrie is known as a blues player at all either way. He might dabble in it but no one is saying you heard of that great blues player guthrie govan? IMO hes a great guitarist. But whos more deserving of his title? Obviously you have an opinion on that.

[algrand90]

@david85251

lister and ben poole are better in blues

[trigmachine]

he looks bored

[opilus]

this is just tasty..

this is how you play blues.. guthrie is great, but this is more convincing as a blues track, there's more emotion in his phrasing..

Maybe its a different type of expression though, guthrie expresses himself with speed, this guy uses tone and note choice

[laserblack]

..funny how this improv sounds more like peter green than the peter green one does ;) great playing

[MrBastouche1]

that s so good !!!!!!!!  exellent.....

[GuyFawkesGuitar]

hey isn't that the blues version of "Jim Dandy To The Rescue?"

Not bad man :-)

[JacobSmithUK]

what song is that

[Xelanderthomas]

Sorry that I can only give you 1 thumbs up for that comment.

To be honest, as much respect as I have GG when I watch him...well, that just it...I tend to watch him more than I listen to the music he's making - this guy I close my eyes and float of into the blues.

[bread113]

guthrie is a million times better

butttt!!

if your going for blues then your kickass mannnn :)

[ericscigliano]

la tiene clarusa el pibe

[someonebigman]

awesome

[xlp3t3r]

Anyone else think he looks like Ronaldo?

Great Guitarist BTW...

[musicbymax]

what i like best at him is that you can see how he thinks about what fits best in the song

[0iGer0]

i rather hear aynsley when i'm in a neutral mood. And hear guthrie when i'm awaiting spectacular energy. And that doesnt mean i prefer any of these two guitarist.

Besides, aynsley is a better influence fo rme, cause playing like guthrie ... i practced a lot the technique so i can kick asses, but at the end i can't use any of them in blues, i just can't play like guthrie, so aynsley ... here we go

[sellbydate1]

wonderful classy tasteful player

[anfiorsceal]

wonderful stuff... the tone is reminiscent of Peter Green -who would have been influenced by BB King, of course. The phrasing is great - lots of spaces to create question and answer statements with the the "breathing pattern" of a sax player - from jazz players. One last thing, the player's expression shouldn't have a place in one's comments unless it's so distracting that it competes for attention ( i.e. a "tick" or something) -this guy's look is neutral - acceptable in a pro player.

[RickInRock84]

I have read comments about people that want see this guy a little more in touch his own emotion in the playing.

But what the hell should a guitarist do,for feeling his emotions? Why should we judge a guitarist by his facial expressions? So,if he had played without filming his face,he would have played without emotions? Don't talk shit! In my opinion,it would be better if we watched his hands,rather his face!!

Let's begin to LISTEN the notes!!..

[jonRboy]

Damn, this guy is good! Great tone, phrasing, feel, note selection, and vibrato!!

[FenderStratoccaster]

where can i find this jamtracks.????

[mrjass]

Are you mad when I take some licks from you :DD

Really man great ;))

I just agree with Krelle1967

[HOWYOUDOIN884]

nice move at :48

[redrocker79]

This guy is decent! I would just like to see him a little more in touch his own emotion in the playing. I want to see him feeling it and not just looking off to the side like he's bored or not paying attention. A little more fire in personality! Good stuff though. DONT GET ME WRONG!

[RichardKim06]

i agree. He has the look on his face that says "Well okay i play this if you really want me to". Sounds good but you show a lack of interest.

[oliskill]

Are you fecking serious? He had the most feeling with what he was playing when matt schofield brought him to the stage and he played one frigging note and it owned everything. But tbh matt and the other geust denny illete were pretty awesome.

[oliskill]

This is in reply to Redrocker79

[ryanthepinkhorse]

uve got the groove.. very good

[Bluzer86]

nice playing, but it is not the real deal, B.B. King has a unique sound :)

[rudiwells]

No shit Sherlock, it's only the track that is mentioned to be B.B King style.

[martinmerrywinkle]

competent playing, a little better than the average blues clone, but tbh I cant watch this guy without cringing... its a young david brent

[twb3683]

you have a lot to learn abouit music brother. Music is not aboutrace.thesooner you learn that the better music lover you will be. trust me, i'm white and blues its the only music i like.l play it as respect to all the old timers that truely lived the blues. i'm so sick of racism with music. everyone can the blues, not everyone has lived it...but they all have it in their own way. my oldest brother died,claptons little boy died, i'd say we have plenty of reason to play the blues. no hard feelins

[stratocastermojo]

He's very good, there;s space and phrasing and no constant ridiculous chromatics

[matts15]

beautiful guitar! and its sound too, nice jam

[Torfinnmadssen]

Honestly, Clapton doesn't suck :P

If his playing-style and phrasing doesn't appeal to you musically, then that's fine, but saying he sucks is crossing the line.

[Funkatronical]

@Torfinnmadssen Id have said crossing the road.. like crossroads..

[gimickuk1]

@Torfinnmadssen Agreed. Personally I don't care for Clapton's style but he's a VERY fine player. I can't stand the songs Mick Hucknall sings butthat doesn't mean tha I am not in awe of his vocal talent...

[fatboysporty1]

BB said you got to take your time so you can hear what the blues are saying man..

[fatboysporty1]

he has a very nice style love the pause before the phrasing everyone is different and should be appreciated for that difference thats the blues......

[conner9090]

anyone know what pedal i can use to get this sound?

[laserblack]

nice. very nice. makes me want to pick my guitar up right now. bb IS the blues & aynsley captures it beautifully here imho

[musicbymax]

very tasteful

[diecci]

Great feel. Keep this way.

[kewlfonz]

Anybody slagging this young guy who plays with a good tone and feel is just talking total bullshit. So take your negative comments and .... off. P.S. Please don't bother responding - I will not

[Fade2black333]

He thinks he's alot better than he is

[waldroc942]

Unless your surname name is Clapton, King or Vaughan, keep yer mooth shut

[Bluesman19680]

U stupid prick. If he wasnt any good why would guitarist magazine hire him to play over tracks. And why would they allow him to write for the magazine. I dont see you appearing in guitarist. I cant wait to meet him. My band are supporting this guy at the duchess in york. He is brilliant!!!!

[Bluesman19680]

By the way this was my reply to Fade2blck333!!!

[Fade2black333]

I didn't say he's no good "Bluesman" I said he's not as good as he thinks he is.

[Poroko]

how do u know that he is not as good as het thinks he is.

[asscrackben]

I agree , I see yet another blues player , He's up his own arse.

[holyrattlesnakes]

This guy has good feel and nice note selection. It all fits together very neat and tidy. It's very British, I love it. I've always loved British blues especially Clapton, Kossoff, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. I feel a strong sense of that tradition in this guys playing here.

[MetalicBluz]

amazing!!!

[sagius91]

sembra piu robben ford... complimenti lo stesso...

[Gagagrr]

Kind of Robben Ford actually..

[sportsportsport]

One of the most annoying people you'll see playing guitar

[RaphaelDallas]

I agree

[johnnybolas79]

Me too -- he's a Grade-A, Certified Douche Nozzle

[ThePsychoReturns]

Perhaps, but he's playing with genuine emotion, and the solo is gorgeous.

[TEXASSURFDONKEY]

Sweet chops...not a s sweet as the wood grain on that guitar though. What is that its NOT a Gibby.

[thebaronusa]

doin' a GREAT job there kid....

keep on !!!

//albin.sweden.

[FFFKeys]

Yeah, really better than Guthrie...feeling beats virtuosism...

[CarlOlav]

Excellent improv! Wish I could be that focused and aware of what I'm playing...

[manmanster]

this dude has got tasty licks.

[ICreamsodAI]

halcomb is a fucking gump. i love how people try to compare him to guthrie.

[742512345689]

i dont think b.b king is that talented, he is just very smart with knowing music

[emofeltpocket]

he isnt talented , but he plays with so much emotion ...

[EnglishGuthrie]

oh come on old chap, Mr. GuitarSmart, guitarttimman has a different style. Granted, he can play this, in fact, knows it note for note now, but this guy is good too. :-)

[nissepisseee]

cool man you made me happy:)

[blokeyknockers]

If you look at the title of the video it clearly states that he's playing over a B.B King style track. Not that he himself is playing like B.B. Funny thing to get angry about though.

[enotodden]

This just makes me angry.. Many guitarists could play one note and vibrate it, and it would be more BB King style than this..

[Eraj1979]

porn blues! haha thats a funny one! what makes it funnier is I know what he means!

Great tone! Great playing! Keep it up dude!

[gottyboy]

yeah!!!!!

[xBenjourx]

gotta say i love the way he looks around when he's playing :D

brilliant (:

[wilsonjrleon]

now that s some good blues

real gooooooood blues

[bencol123]

To get his tone buy a Gibson ES335 and a cornford hellcat, if you have the money!

[bulenterdem1977]

what about the talented fingers? can we buy them also? :)

[wadekirtley]

Beautiful, man! I love that primal cry in your playing.

[georgealberto1985]

real blues yeahhhhhhhh

[volosator]

porn blues =)))

[AllScoresNow]

Any tips on getting this tone, or would you need a semi-acoustic. I stuggle to get a tone like this without the od becoming saturated. Anyone?

[StratPawl]

don't you blaspheme in here, don't you blaspheme in here!

[senescencia]

hey strat, touch your "hoyito" first :D

[StratPawl]

eh?

[senescencia]

your hoyito man!, suck your hoyito :D

[Thebestguitaristever]

What is with the face at the very beginning. Like you havent ever heard the backing track before...

[SublordUtilax123]

haha that face was amazing. brilliant playing though

[Antarblue]

Very Nice BB playing! My compliments!

[georgealberto1985]

this guy plays great. but it looks like an emo.

[HaydnMozartBeethoven]

I'm going to see him live next week!!

[tormentor91]

seen him playing on these different backing tracks, but what he was doing there gives me no impress how he plays really, this is always copying the style of great guitar players, not bad, but i wanted to hear him play like he would and not like others would

[greasemcvey]

ssshahahaa nice hairkut

[bluesuburban]

wonderful phrasing and very similar to bb that guitar sounds quality

[leowakawaka]

definately more traditional than Guthrie but I think Guthrie is more interesting. Good player for sure though, nice phrasing.

[sunsetcafe]

I cannot stop to watch this video......

What a great tone!! I think I cannot get this tone unless I got a semi hollow body Gibson.

Nice playing too!! Bluesman!!

[scrumpymanjack]

Get one, Sunsetcafe. I promise you that you will never regret it. I've got about 12 amazing guitars and my 335 is by far and away the best made, the easiest to play and the sweetest sounding of them all.

[Taahahydri89]

look at his face at the begining lmao he is like "umm ok? so this is it?"

[bluesman5931]

Great!

[TheWhistleCollector]

Govan and this guy are both unbelievable.

[fenderesprit]

this guy is a serious player

[zethmed]

This is like Little Milton nice real nice.

[bencol123]

Lovely tone and guitar! Gibson es-335 i think? Correct me if im wrong...

[mohdrizaramlee]

Shit man, that's fucking good! *clap*

[MusiciansQuarters]

How long you been jamming is this guy your teacher if so you are lucky, the cat jams and you sound great man keep it up!!

[docdup1]

guthrie is probably not his teacher they are both soooo good!

[foodchain11]

Fine, fine playing. So much restraint and taste. The timing is absolutely dead on. And the tone ... crazy good!

[bluesfanlenny]

I love how he is playing :)

[hakanozelguitarist]

i like the bit at 0:49 on where he gets a different tone just by hitttng harder. Nice, dude.

[keoki9]

Oh Yeah!

[bluesmethod]

Does anyone know what amp he's using? Sounds a bit of a D*mble.

[hakanozelguitarist]

it's a Cornford Harlequin, I believe, in Jan Cyrka's studio. (Not a Hellcat as suggested elsewhere). There are some photos of Guthrie Govan playing here plugged into one. btw Jan when will we see you sat in that chair?! I'm still enjoying your 2 albums from yrs ago!

[ChrisLeeBear]

very special nice!

[hakanozelguitarist]

very robben fordish..nice!

[reening]

HOOOOO BARKURYA!!!

[grozengyz]

Einfach perfekt!!!
