Stevie Ray Vaughan owning "Crosscut Saw." Nothing beats that cranked tube sound with a Stratocaster. I couldn't find video but the performance was too good not to share. Enjoy!

Steve Miller doing "Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma" live on The Midnight Special 1973.

The Rolling Stones in 2003 playing "When The Whip Comes Down." This version has Keith Richards playing a Gibson 335 and he's doing most of the lead riffs. Ronnie Wood does some great rhythm stuff...especially towards the end of the song. Always love Charlie Watts' drums. Had trouble deciding between this version and the '78 version. Ultimately the guitar is better on the 2003 version. What is missing from this version is Bill Wyman's bass. His bass line on the '78 version live in Texas is has more subtle movement. Ronnie Wood is doing the leads on that one.

Annie Lennox (with Hozier) brings the house down at the 2015 Grammy Awards doing "I Put A Spell On You." No gimmicks. Just talent. What a voice.

Adam Rogers playing a delicious solo over Donald Fagen's "New Frontier" live at the Blue Note.

Adam Rogers on Guitar. Damn good band. Diggin' his clean tone. Simple and yet the right amount of harmonic tension. Don't sleep on Adam Rogers. As casual as this appears to be...the band is tight, syncopated and feeding off each other very well. Enjoy!

This is the Neville Brothers (1991 NOLA) meshing 2 classic covers together..."Love the One You're With" into "You Can't Always Get What You Want." I love their version of these tunes. The one from their album "Live From Planet Earth" made that album a constant play in my life. Great album to practice guitar and bass to.

GREATEST DENNIS CHAMBERS DRUMS SOLO! The Mike Stern Group (Mike Stern, Lincoln Goines, Dennis Chambers) with Bob Berg on sax in 1990 at Jazzfest, performing "Games." At 11:25ish...Dennis Chambers plays one of the greatest drums solos (9+minutes) you will ever see. THIS IS A MUST WATCH! Masterful dynamics and polyrhythms. At one point he gets whisper quiet in a snare roll...doing dime sized rolls right at the rim of the snare. Dude is using every inch of the snare drum for some sick textures. At 18:30ish...Dennis does these snare hits that gradually get further apart in time while maintaining the core time with is left foot. Wow. At 19:17 he goes hands free and wipes the sweat off his face and arms. Notice his left foot is playing the 2nd bass drum pedal...using his left heel for the hi hat pedal. At 21:27...Dennis does the equivalent of a mic drop...completes a sick fill and walks away from the kit...just for a sec to get a breather. At 22:06 Dennis does a fill and the band comes back in to finish the tune.

“Sleep Walk” by “Santo & Johnny” live. Would love a breakdown of this and how it would be played on electric guitar please. Thx!

The Brian Setzer Orchestra playing "Americano" live in Japan. Great vintage vibe to this song...love the tempo change.

Fleetwood Mac (with Pete Green) from 1969 performing "Oh Well." What a simple and great song!

Greg Howe blowing my mind with some amazing guitar playing. The perfect example of what happens when you combine real knowledge of the neck, smooth technique and tasty note choices. I watch this and I think...I REALLY need to practice. Thank you Greg. Check out his latest band with Mohini Dey on bass. Yikes.

Victor Bailey on bass doing a solo tribute to Jaco. What makes this amazing is he wrote lyrics over Jaco's "Continuum," including the solo. This a great example of finding and learning melodies in something that appears to be beyond a player's reach until they sing those melodies. Plus, the lyrics are moving.

Paul McCartney playing his amazing song "Coming Up!" This song shows the great songwriting skills he has. What a great bass line too!

Instrumental solo acoustic guitar version of Traffic's "Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys."

Rolling Stones playing "Hey Negrita" live. Love this song.

Gov't Mule performing one of my favorite Rolling Stones tunes "Ventilator Blues" live in Jamaica.

Cater Arrington playing Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me." Carter is a great human and a great guitarist! Look for him on YouTube.

Danny Gatton playing "Sleepwalk." Take notes folks. This man can make the Tele cry.

Elvis Costello & The Roots playing "Wise Up Ghost" from the album of the same name. Great song. Fantastic album. This is as much a Picasso-esque soundscape as it is a song in cargo pants...pockets everywhere. Good stuff!

Little Feat performing "Spanish Moon" in 1977 with the legendary Tower Of Power horns. I believe this is the version is on the Waiting For Columbus album. What a great band! So many great songs by this band. Just bursting with talent at all points.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds in Italy playing "Two Time My Lovin'." I've always loved this song. Jimmie Vaughan's chord voicing (rather than first position G C D) is what makes this tune work...and his Micro-Vibe gives a subtle rotary effect. The verse guitar part has a different lick on the album, but I like bands that don't just cover their own songs.

Eric Clapton in 2013 playing one of my favorite songs "Gotta Get Over" from the album "Old Sock." The riff at the top of the song is slightly different from the album version...but both are right for the tune. Although this is a phone video from someone upfront, you are able to see Clapton's hands and technique up close.

This is an absolutely mind blowing performance by Wayne Krantz (Keith Carlock - drums, Tim Lefebvre - bass) of "Greenwich Mean." One of my favorite songs of his. This is an example of a stellar rhythm section supporting a one of kind guitarist. So damn good. Time shifts. All kinds of textures. Thank you Wayne!
