Look at the way Eldon incorporates bass runs so effortlessley with chord voicings up and down the neck and his flawless sense of swing-that should provide years of homework assignments for the rest of us guitar players!

This whole concert, their last, is now up on YouTube. Just do a search for "Texas Playboys" and "1986". They were an incredible band, made up of first-rate veteran musicians who could still send all of us to the woodshed. Would love to see a DVD of this concert issued. And it's time someone wrote an Eldon Shamblin method book.

Jimi Hendrix used to listen to this guy and called him a "pretty heavy guitar player" once in an interview.

Greatest rhythm guitarist who ever lived!...And not too bad a "lead" player from this video!! I've played for 40+ years and this guy would play "chords" that I had NEVER seen!!! Once in a lifetime player right there!! Thanks for posting this....

the guitar he is playing is the first Fender Stratocaster made and it was a gift to him from Leo Fender.

one of my idols , eldon was a sweet ol picker, i was about 18 when i met him he told me to play what i felt , and play for the song, 2 pieces of advice i still cling to, that was around 1973 my best friend steve was married to his daughter missy, we talked about music , and jammed alot at his house on king pl. in tulsa, he taught me so much, rip eldon you were 1 of a kind

Many thanks for sharing this one...made my week, and such a joy to hear Eldon Shamblin again.
This is a nice video. Thanks for posting it. Which records are best for listening to Eldon's guitar work? It seems like a lot of the Bob Wills stuff I've heard, he's kinda buried under the rest of the group, and just about everyone BUT Eldon plays a solo.
