  • Please check his 2 first solo-records from 69 (J.Winter and Second Winter) I still hold them very very deer. Sound corny i know but they really are that good.

  • @svenzia Sorry: 2 and 3 album. I wrote first and second.

  • Im just wondering did something happen to his eye? ..

  • johnny is a real american guitar hero !

    Wish I could download this one on my iPAD2

  • This dude is a legend guitar player

  • completely fucked up

  • Wenn es EINEN großen Blues-Gitarristen gibt ist es Johnny.

    Selbst wenn er auf ´nem Barhocker auf die Bühne getragen wird,explodiert er wie keiner vor oder nach ihm. Ich habe keinen anderen gesehen der abgesehen von der Geschwindigkeit, dazu noch solch ein Feeling für den Blues hat!

    Und wer das legendäre Duel in "Tobacco Road" mit seinem Bruder Edgar kennt (Edgar Winters Road Trash) hat keine Fragen mehr

  • Is this a guitar lesson or a life lesson, I think you actually have to play for it to be a guitar "lesson"

  • Enjoyed listening to Johnny Winter ... cause I love his music!! ... then nice to finally hear some stories from himself ... right: not a guitar lesson, but 'blues' is not only playing the guitar ...

  • Thanks so much for this! Johnny is a TREASURE!! One of the greatest players ever!!!

  • What a legendary player, and a great raconteur to boot.

    To Guitar World: Make the fret numbers in your magazine tabs BIGGER, goddammit. I'm 45 now and I've been buying your mag off & on for 30 years. Who do you think is primarily interested in learning complex guitar tunes? These baggy-assed shorts-wearing punks who're into today's "bands"?

  • @AnnihilatingAngel Yeah and people like me :)

  • if this doesn´t give you some kind of "bluesy" feeling and inspire you but raise lots of useless thoughts instead you shouldn´t play anything at all ;-)

  • this is not a lesson, it's an interview. thanks for nothing

  • Johnny Winter is *TOPS* I have 30 Johnny Winter Albums=[ Some have Johnny and Edgar Winter on the Covers ] He Has quite a Body of Work=When Rick Derringer was doing a Concert Here In FT MYERS FL..I ask him who taught who on their *Johnny Winter Live Albums * and he Satd they taught each other...Hmmmmmm ?

  • anyone who disliked this video probably listens to rap i normally dont comment on things but where do u friggin people come from u just hate on everything go listen to pdiddy or puffdaddy or pdiddly or whatever hes callin himself today

  • this is how you end up when you stick too much stuff into yer nose.

  • If you don't pick up on the lesson provided by Johnny here, you should do yourself and the world a favor and put down your guitar and never pick it up again. Ever.

  • i don't know what are he talking about but i love this guy and his music

  • This is the most i've heard JW speak for years. He is not the easiest guy to interview.

  • Weell, if One listens---- he is telling U about how he took lessons from other Musicians-------quit picking on Johnny...Hey,...." he ain't heavy-----he's my Brother !"

  • Blackfly...you said it SO right. Bless you.

  • NDP ad???? Die of cancer Layton!

  • It's a lesson, kids. If you listen. This is the SOUL part of playing. Go to Guitar World if you want to learn to be just a mechanical player. Johnny's talking about HIS lessons.....with the greats. This part of playing is about LISTENING....and learning. Put your punk attitude aside, and shut up and learn from a master. Peace.

  • I like this Babsanfredrik in Sweden

  • What crap. Lesson my ass.

  • I wonder if I could meet you someday in person, in the meantime take care, you are the best of your gender

  • me pregunto si podré conocerte algun dia en persona, mientras tanto cuidate, tu eres el mejor de tu genero

  • No, it's not a lesson. It's Johhnny talking. Let's say: No Country for old men (unless they can teach us).

    rocknrolll

  • I humbly bow before the great master! Love ya Johnny!

  • Johnny Winter is an American Original. Appreciate all you've done for music brother.

  • Johhny looks like DEATH warmed up! Really hasnt aged well!

    What a Legend! The American Keef Richards!

  • Comment removed

  • 66 ? wauw .. you look mutch more!!

  • The Best Of The Best alive today !Jimmy,Freddy and Johnny are the guys all the overrated English Cats wish they could play Like! lONG lIVE tHE gREAT jOHN Dalton Winter!

  • "giv the man some food", har har. That was nearly funny. The man is a legend, and an artist that shows the possibilities of the guitar, and he has a place in my heart FOREVER

  • I picked it up and learned it, never took a lesson in my life, i listened to all people, i'm 54 , leave Johnny alone, he could kill your little ass on stage, and yes i just got 2 knee replacments, 2 fuckin years of hell, for 42 years of jumpin around and playin loud, try me i'll prove it, Johnny rules, live at 55 i guess, keep on rockin youngns, i'll be around for awhile, and i can make him proud, for sure! (:

  • damn give the man some food

  • Nice interview but the lesson is just a come on

  • He is just a little bit tired :)

  • Ha! The lesson is at 6:24.

  • he has a slightly flanged sound for his slide stuff.

  • only 66 years old...wow

  • @morbida & he LOOKS 86! Hasnt aged well!

  • Doesn't that guitar look huge compared to Johnny?

  • Listening to Johnny Winter or any guitar legend just talkin' is a GREAT LESSON.

  • Great interview..so good to see Johnny still has his wits about him, considering what he's been through. Look at those fingers..long and whispy. Damn...they could span the fretboard of a 6-string BASS ! YOU GO, Johnny, GO !!!

  • I just bought Johnny's autobiography "Raisin' Cain" and am about halfway through. His story of playing with BB King is in there. Recommend it if you want to know about Johnny at all...

  • Come on people. Be patient. L I S T E N to what the man says, before you start shouting.

  • Wow. Father Time has not been kind to this guy. A legend for sure, but a hard life on the road has taken it's toll. Thumbs up for Johnny boy, thumbs down for GW. THis is an interview.

  • All you idiots who are not interested in listening to a legend player talking about his roots should shut the f*ck up, should not be titled "guitar lesson" though i agree.

  • Nothing cooler than Johnny Winter doing a Guitar World interview smoking a doobie!!!

  • i cant play this guys life story on my guitar can i ??

    stupid video!

  • @willminnock learn some goddamn music theory and you wont need a lesson. i guess some ppl just want every thing handed to them on a silver platter. lack of respect makes for a shitty guitar player. all the tutorials in the world wont teach you how to play with FEELING. but a lttle humility is the foundation of great musicians. dont be lazy learn to transcribe and train your ear, tutorials are fine and can save you some time but relying on them will hurt your abilities in the long run.

  • @forbes1905 was that seriously ment to be directed at me? i know plenty of theory, probably more than most guitarists and i've worked hard to get to where i am as a guitarist but that's not even relevant. i looked at this video to see was there something i could pick up from him that can't be written down in musical terms that i could add to my playing, but instead what i got was an interview which doesn't help me at all. plus take some of your own advice-your 42 favs are tutorials!

  • @willminnock i apologize for the harshness of my comment and the language used. i was out of line by being so harsh. as far as having tutorials as my favorites as i said in my previous comment. tutorials are fine, i do check out alot of tutorials to kind of give me an idea of how other ppl transcibe and how they apply their different styles into the songs, but i certainly dont rely on them. i am perfectly capable of picking most songs out by ear and by theory.

  • @willminnock reading back over my reply it does sound awful preachy, and i apologize for that as well. wonder what time it was when i made that comment. i am an insomniac and often go 3 or 4 days at a time without sleep. during those times i experience intense personality shifts.but that still is no excuse for being such a dick.sorry about that, dude.and the title of this vid is more than just a little misleading. but for free, i guess one cant complain.ididlikelistening to johnny's stories tho.

  • @forbes1905 alright fair enough man. no big deal. yeah i like listening to interviews and ppls stories too but this came up in my subscriptions as a lesson or whatever and i was hoping to see him playing something even tho i hadn't heard of him until this vid. hope you get that insomnia sorted out, but maybe one positive you can take away from it is you have more time to play guitar :)

  • @willminnock thanks for the kind words man, yea im trying to get my sleeping probs worked out, tried several prescription meds but the side effects were worse than the insomnia plus i think its mostly a psycological thing, so i am working on focusing my mind and improving my health through diet and lifestyle. but yeah i do get alot of guitar playing in all hrs of the night. its funny i will start playing a song alot of times and i have know idea how i learned it, sometimes dont even know what..

  • @willminnock the song is called or who played it. lol, anyways thanks for being so underastanding and forgiving. peace, and best of wishes in your guitar playing and other endeavors. :)

  • he looks 20 years older than ritchie blackmore, but the thing is, he is just 1 year older than blackmore... hmm

  • Yeah, effin guitar world. That was a good interview, but, not the advertised lesson. For that you get a thumbs down.

  • PLAY THE FUCKING GUITAR ALREADY

  • the full lenght version of this interview with the real 'guitar lesson' from Mr Winter, the real US national treasure and living legend of blues was uploadad on June 12 here on YouTube.Pls.check yourself.

  • You may find the whole interview here on YouTube.

    Just judge for yourself how is he playing now and see one of his gigs,you shall be delighted. You may find his forthcoming gigs on the net.

  • @ThisIsNasa yeah everybody complain about "this is not a lesson" and I say what this guy have, you can´t learn it from a video.... so this is lesson of life.

  • The lesson starts 6.26

  • He is still alive and well.

  • Guys this is only the first part to the video. You have to go to Guitar World .com to see the rest.

  • maybe is a lesson of life?

  • Saw Mr. Winter at Crossroads this summer... Unfortunately, he hasn't got it anymore.. He can hardly play... It was a sad sight... I love him and his contribution to music, but there comes a time when you gotta hang 'em up...

  • @feelthebowes

    well,please see one his live gigs with his own band,you shall be delighted.

  • I watched the rest on the Site, Good stuff :) Love Johnny

    gonna subscribe to Guitarworld

  • whats wrong with his eyes?

  • Comment removed

  • Guitar lesson at 6:18?

  • Each month, I dutifully buy Guitar World & I really enjoy the magazine, but they REALLY need to work on the TITLES of the Videos they post! I mean, do they really NOT care, or are the people there that STUPID? Will somebody PLEASE show me where the FUCK the "Lesson" is in this Video? Sure, I can grab the CD-ROM that comes with each issue, but watching here is a LOT easier!

    I swear, between this CRAP and that fucking TWIT, Paul, who reviews new gear for GW, I don't know which I HATE more.

  • @312chicagoadam This is basically a commercial for the actual lesson, the name is to make people aware that this is just the talking part of the actual lesson

  • @joniiboy Exactly! Now I see that they have added "PART 1," which was not there, before. It just gets so old after a while. By the way, this is chicagoadam! I could not respond with that account because GW blocked me! LOL! I only repeated what BOTH of the HIGEST RATED comments had stated; just in my own "special way." Judging by what they print in their interviews & whatnot (including swear words and PLENTY of drug references), I am surprised that they were offended by MY language.

    HYPOCRITES

  • hes a legend .

    so have respect.

    <3

  • Dude, this guy is wrecked! lol

    Can only just about understand what he's saying...

  • Legend.

  • it's not about creating feeling, it's about putting the feeling out >:(

  • If you need lessons to play the blues.... you dont have soul.

  • @REALCougarsRmales You can develop soul...dont be a dick to others. Some people learn differently and play differently.

  • This dude is still alive?

  • :O :O JOHNNY WINTERRR!

  • At first I thought his one eye was screwed but get to part 2 you see them both open..I think this was done early in the morning and he was probably just tired and kept one eye closed to stay awake. He also has more pep in him the second part of the interview..I honestly think he was just tired.

  • this is what drugs do to u, jejeje, my father is 15 more older then johnny and he can walk, in fact, he is right now building one house, jejej

    johnny is a legend!!

  • this is in the stevie ray vaughn issue i bought 3 months ago.....

  • i love how folks dont understand that johnny winter talking about his influences and experience IS the lesson.

  • I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter if it's a guitar lesson or not.

  • OMG people just go to guitarworld and watch the rest!

  • @jahenx94 no lol

  • MORE!!!!

  • Disliked - not because of Johnny Winter, or what he talks about (because we definitely need more of this roots stuff) - but because THIS IS NOT A LESSON

  • @Rafterman123 THIS IS A PREVIEW jesus christ

  • @rickyjshiznit "In this exclusive lesson, Texas blues master Johnny Winter shows off some of his signature techniques." .... really

  • @Rafterman123 I don't care if it's a lesson or he's telling us what he had for dinner.  It's Johnny Winter, and that's all that matters.

  • @Rafterman123 aw poor baby, were you misled?

  • @Rafterman123 Yes, this is not lesson as we understand it.

  • Why are the titles so misleading???

  • Its not a fucking guitar lesson he doesn't play the guitar during the video!!

  • Comment removed

  • Gd love you, Johhny!

  • LEGEND!!!

  • dont call it a lesson unless I will learn how to play something from it guitar world
