Blue Jean Blues - Derek Neece

[MrKozmo33]

I love turnin this up super loud and playing along with my bass!!

[lehrgangswerk]

very sensitive. best version ever

[kuratali]

For all that asked the pickups are WCR SR single coils.

[markinsacramento]

the only thing I don't get is why you don't have 1000 videos up. Dude you nailed this one, great feel for the song. Thanks...

[Davstrapp]

Dude, that's awesome.

[FelixClapton]

What pick up do you have on this Strato?

[kuratali]

@FelixClapton As I understand the pickups are WCR SR single coil pickups. You know it's one thing to be a good player, but it irks me when those good players are dickish. The dude could have the decency to answer your question.

[tommyg524]

expressive..

[tommyg524]

3:29 is what lead is all about,clean,epressive,bluesy,s­uccinct, very very nice feeling. One of the best pieces on you tube.

[andy29375]

[toothmaker22000]

[smooretogo]

Very Very nice sound.....Would you kindly tell me your pickup layout please. I'm building and cant decide.

[torgos]

Great, best version on youtube, you help me to go on the stony road, pick up my guitar and play the blues, greetings from germany.

[fromthebarrel]

He, some people says they learned ur version.How to do that ? How can i learn ur version ? Do u have any tabs ? Or do you have any tabs for this song at all.The one i found on youtube does not seem to help me much.

Would you be interested to come to Bali in vacation, stay as a guest in a super villa ? All u have to do is to teach me this song when you are here in Bali? What do you say ?

[Francis4264]

ehi man you play the guitar with the heart and soul!!!!! congratulations! i like it!!!!! what pickup at the neck and ampli??? sorry for my bad english ;)

[bassbeats11]

u r 1 talented guy. enjoyed this post. keep em coming!

[lefou1970]

Derek...pls dont be offended....i learned your version instead of ZZ...the best version out there, it kicks serious asses.

[bluesmethod]

I can listen to Billy Gibbons play this all day. He's amazing.

[PMiRInspection]

@bluesmethod i agree with you but.......you hit this one right on the head..don't care about overdub shit..man you seriously kick ass....pls put a lesson of this masterpiece thx

[littlejim26]

@bluesmethod Any pointers on learning a piece like this?

You're awesome

[salm37]

Your good Derek....Good cover

[nicorockandpop]

GRANDEEEEE-

[r8guitar]

great playing man!!!!!!!

[trd2009]

played with such passion. u r very skilled!! this is probably the best playing ive ever heard. kinda sounds like vaughn with the grace of pink floyd. nicely done!

[JudgeFredd]

_VERY_ nice - Great playing / Feeling

[metaloutlander]

sounds good man

[trd2009]

wow man 5 stars all the way! i just watched this video four times in a row. u rock.

[HDenBlues]

Hi Derek,

this is awesome & beautyfull playin', man,

Very good guitar player ***

Thanks, my friend,

greets-Kurt...

[misternogreco]

Suberb !!! What a feeling man !!!! One of the best blues guitarists ever. The feeling is something between Peter Green, snowie White, SRV, Mayall/Clapton ..

lots of credit man !!

This is NOT fake It is just loss of syncrinization between sound and video.. too bad you cant recognize the licks after 30 years, sorry

[bluesmethod]

Have you ever overdubbed a lick before?

[corneiid]

Hey it's great playin, but jimi's right. If it's not one take it's not the same.

I mean who would want to hear someone lip sync to their own voice?

[BobGuacamole]

It was a harmonic I believe

[epinezz]

stop embarrassing yourself - and recognize talent!

[k0ryrules]

@jimigrunge It is very real. I know because I took lessons from him.

[M0rganstudios]

@jimigrunge While this comment was a bit harsh, it is true. I'll admit to editing a riff before(shifting timing subtly, or muting a note) in my live videos but I don't think I've overdubbed a new take before. On my albums (not live)...uh..yeah I've spliced in all sorts of whacky stuff lol. Anyway it's great playing man, I enjoyed it. I did my own take on this called "Blues in Z" about 10 years ago =)

[bassist069]

nice playing and tone !!

[Sconan42156]

Very nice, totally has the feel of BG's playing but not a note for note copy...The fact that you're a young dude is also encouraging.....

[ritti89]

wow, that's really the greatest cover I've ever heard...you really got the feeling for your guitar and for the song...

[LuckyPunch2]

Really Great!!

[epinezz]

Nothing short of amazing!

[mootle661]

excellent but sure as hell aint Billy G's talent

[Ladykiller245]

Can you please send me the background music or tell me where I can get it? Thanks and good job!!!

[kouklara669]

google bm slow blues... its the first result

[jbrown198323]

Killer tone man! Love it!

[rich655]

Fantastic ! One of the few people of You-Tube who DON'T distort the hell out of a Strat's beautiful tone and play it somewhat clean with just a bit of dirt thrown in.

Great licks!! Don't aspire to be a speed demon....this is the stuff that MOVES people!

[prfischer]

Ohhh, my. No amount of training or speed or music theory can create this. The soul and feeling that this guy coaxes out of this instrument...is sooo...I mean, its just...its just "IT".

So so good. I'm in awe.

[Swingtone]

Great Great Great!!!

Beautiful Stratsound and a very nice Guitar ;-)

[moog1908]

ohhh man,

thats the best version here on youtube

more than great

the licks and sounds are so beautiful

greetings from germany

keep on :)

[KIWIBLUES]

hey dude

killer

[juanblues]

Amanzing solo, congratulations. What guitar is that? This are a texas special pickups???

[Nickos93]

Incredible,friend!!! I can really feel you and your solo! That's great!!! Keep on...

[corolla666]

what effect is this?

[TrueDeva]

Obviously, the tube amplifier(overdrive) gives that wonderful sound. Anyone could have guessed it. It makes the guitar' sound breaks up less likely. There is also a litte reverb/echo.

But as I see, the pickups have a really considerable part in his playing.

So my question is: What kinds of pickups, that stratocaster have. Or if it's stock, then could you tell me, what kind of guitar is that? :D I'm really curious!

[wallis222]

They sound like Texas Specials. AND, it could very well be an Ibanez Tubescreamer (pedal) giving him that dirty tone. If you watch my videos you will see that I achieve tones very similar to this with a solid stat amp and a tubescreamer, as well as with my various tube amps. Lesson be leaned: don't be so rude to others.

[zoomer51]

simply brilliant !

[talibanhunter666]

That was intense man. GREAT playing. I was thinking about learning Jeff Healeys version but after hearing this I'm have second thoughts.

-fellow strat lover

[crazylakotapony]

Wow. Amazing. I'm doing a cover of this and I have a lot of respect for you. I think I'm gonna sing but I don't know how to cover his voice as a female..

[bluesmethod]

Thanks Lakota Pony :) I would think that a Woman could breath new life into Blue Jean Blues. It would have a different effect, but nonetheless it could be brilliant.

[loewen23]

masterful.

[kwazybill]

excellent. played with true soul

[bluesmethod]

Hey Johnny, that was an overdub I did because the string made a snapping noise on the original. Thanks for watching :)

[JOhnnyLake5]

Really nice playing. Just curious. What going on at 2.29? Sounds like the guitar is playing, but you're not. How did you record this piece?

[daviemcf]

Fantastic,played with a lot of feeling!

[rchan0]

really nice sound from the strat

[jimmyt49]

man that was tight.where di ya get that backing .the whole thing sounded so pro.

[tqla255]

wauw i want to play like this :p it gives me a feeling of clapton/srv mixed together

[usbfighter]

damn man u sure can play..its that old srv sound and bb king to it..you dont find that sound to much now days love the sound bro

[shadiepawn]

love it

[jalles56]

This is a great example of why gifted blues guitarist's have such emotion and thought translated in their music. Wonderful stuff!!

Out of curiousity, what type of amp and pedals do you use to get this tone??

Thanks for the clip, I play it almost every day in my office.

[bluesmethod]

Thank you, I used a Vibro-King and a Rs Guitar Works Strat with 45 year old wood. WCR pickups.

[MacDrevi0us]

@bluesmethod Very nice cover. One of my favorite songs and you did a good job. You in Eb?

[paulefty]

awesome stuff. feelin' it man!

[bluzboi38]

Dude....Your playin' is as freakin' HOT as YOU are!!!!

[love2playguitar]

y arent u famouse yet. u can play

[cannablitzt]

OWW! Your playing is soooo painfully SWEET! Thank you!

[bballhack]

Tremendous and tasty playing; the tone and phrasing is superb. Right up there as one of the best.

[guitar62751]

Awesome job, Derek! Best I've heard!

I wanted to play this in former bands but

the other jerks never hear the song before.

True story.

Stu

[andrewjeff]

[strinxx]
