Lick of the Day: Kenny Wayne Shepherd - "SRV Meets Lightnin' Hopkins"

[flyinv1967]

you think if i straightened the quarter inch warp on my guitar i could play like KWS?

[therealsoumen]

sometimes u can't remember exactly what you played...

so you slow down the vid in order to see... :P

[instinctfx]

Beautiful tone!

[MrGreenTortex]

I don't use apple things, can I have a tab of this great lick ??

[jharri1]

What the hell kind of cable is that?

[mrp0pcorn]

That tone is outstanding. What amp/pedals are you using?

[givemeajackson]

one sexy strat!

[Alejandro4891]

that tone is awesome

[MrVirusSnake]

very very bad relicing job...

[prsplayer210]

kinda like scuttle buttin

[93101008647]

sooooooooo good!!!!

[chrisbaker121924]

Someone's got them selves a new scratch plate huh?

[MrDarinWarren]

Woah! He got old. Last time I saw him was 14 years ago or so on the G3 tour.

[TunedFinely2]

Thats a Rory Gallagher strat isn't it!

[pfloydguy]

@TunedFinely2 whatever it is, it's worn ass out!

[screenpuller]

He doesn't need to describe it more... watch & listen. Developing a good ear always helps. :)

[JaYmZbJoNeS]

they need tabs for this...he describes nothing whatsoever

[JaYmZbJoNeS]

kws has no idea wat hes playing..but by god he plays the hell out of it.

[AndreasSku93]

Great lick, but people might be confused by the description where it says this is played in A when it's clearly played in E

[JohnGuitarSolo]

[Zenabi25]

dat tone

[dieginh010]

which is used fender guitar model in the video?

[jerrys96lt4]

louder LOUDER

[HearingLossProvider]

@jerrys96lt4 I've seen him in concert, he doesn't play very loud.

[HighNflY]

I don't get how peoples strats get so worn out above the pick guard its like what do you use a shard of metal as your pick

[SixStringHarmonies]

@HighNflY These guitars are either very old "relics", or are newer models and intentionally painted that way. Do a search on "Reliced Guitars"...some of these relic models cost a ton. The finish on a guitar body subdues the natural vibration of the wood, thus negatively effecting sustain. Therefore, many pros prefer the body to be as bare and as unfinished as possible.

[Ericclapton325]

@HighNflY that have a nicer sounding lacquer on their guitar called nitrocellulose that wears and comes off easier but its nicer sounding and its on the higher end strats like the vintages and the road worn

[skylorz]

Nice job hitting the switch there.....

[antihax91]

Can you actually get the artist to play their stuff slower, rather than busting out the slow-motion? I've seen some artists that maybe didn't have the skill to slow it down (Which I thought was the excuse for the slow motion to begin with), but I'm sure Kenny Wayne could handle it.

[HaruUnite]

I feel that if i burn my guitar + peel + drop my guitar,i'd turn out that way ;D?

[RonnyBoDean]

oh yeah,one more thing. MORE!MORE! AN SOME MORE!...ok,three things....thanks again!

[RonnyBoDean]

thanks for the instruction Kenny! thanks for taking the time to show us the lick! your a great inspiration for all of us who are trying to learn the different styles of "da blues". Especially yours! thanks again,man!......

[moondog50002000]

yawn



[godchaser555]

Cool lick but he's not a good teacher at all.

[TheKennyKennyKenny]

WOW, Kenny Wayne!!!!!

[Marcellotinio007]

damn i always can't play any of these riffs :c

[marczaq]

ye, dont play it slow, just slow down what you've alredy recorded

[MrSatanochio]

@marczaq Who the fuck CARES ?

[Goth3m3]

Never noticed how much he looks like Nick Swardson.

[TFIFH]

Niiiiiice

[elpueblano009]

so all of this is due to the pentatonic scale.

Sorry I'm a beginner.

[MaximusHendrix]

prettyyyy easy..not tryin to be an idiot, but for a guy whos sponsored by fender i mean c'mon SRV could do that behind his back 5x faster lolol

[CMSpida]

@MaximusHendrix if you want speed go and listen to speed metal.

[MaximusHendrix]

@CMSpida been there, done that. asshole* cough* lulz

[frankixbox]

wow! thats awesome does it make a difference that im learning on a squire strat because my guitar doesn't sound like that and the strings are kinda too close together

[jacktheguitarman]

@frankixbox tone to e flat thatll get u colser

[gafigg]

SRV???

[beefhasslehoff]

Mehhh nothing compared to srv

[uidsea]

Did they slow down the video instead of him playing slowly?

[TheAnarchy4life]

@uidsea wasn't that obvious?

[sphinnix]

you can lick SRV balls

[montejano760]

He looks like one of the Bikers off of Sons of Anarchy

[LuccaTotti]

I love the slow motion... NOT

[dogukan361]

Sliding and pulling and picking... Yeah, that's a precise description of playing the guitar...

[UrbanAirwavesParkour]
