Gary Moore is playing the Peter Green Les Paul. That is the one that Lev has a copy of. It was given to him by Peter Green and was originally a Cherry Sunbursts. Famous for it's out of phase tone and the neck pickup replaced upside down.
Thanks guys, I just gotta have an early Sunday morning fix of the blues.
Hey Tung:
I saw Muddy live in concert at the Colonial Tavern in 1970, they had a revolving seating area and every hour or so you would pass right by the stage about 3 feet from him. Pretty cool.
I saw Johnny Winter that summer as well at Maple leaf Gardens. The Band Slade opened for him and we were on the floor about 20 rows back.
Luckily I brought ear plugs. When Johnny came out onstage the lights in the Arena were dimmed and this White glowing head came floating out across the stage, with some coold blues tones coming through the amp.
He had a huge neck to floor cape and underneath he had white pants and a Fringe down his arms and no shirt. Man that was a lot of white considering he is an Albino.
Fifteen years later you could see him at a local bar for the cost of a beer.

You guys are killing me. Two of the guys that gave me a reason to buy a Gibson Les Paul Standard, and Johnny Winter playing a Custom. Just love that tone. Goes good with my bacon, eggs and coffee.
OK guys I have to know. At about the 4 minute mark Joe steps on a pedal and gets and almost harpsichord tone. What is that pedal?

 

[warren0728]

i'm not a big jimmie vaughan fan but.....

Id always liked his clean tone, even when he was with the T-birds...but I dont think I ever fully appreciated him until Id seen him do that Jimmy Reed tribute on Austin City Limits. Now I think hes the real deal! Hes not a flashy over the top kind of guitarist, hes got control and he stays true to the tune.

This isnt that Austin City Limits show, but it is a song they did that night, and even though its not an ACL quality video, youll see Jimmy does the song justice...that and Omar has a great voice!

 

[warren0728]

Time for some JB!

joe can definitely play....and has tone to die for! :bravo:

Id heard Junior Wells do a version of this awhile back, I searched for his version for sometime online...and I found this, I dunno who this is, or what kinda Strat that is(looks like a Lotus) but he makes that thing QUACK so nicely that it kinda makes this song sound like it was written to be this bluesy!
But do find the Junior Wells version on CD if you can!

I'd thrown this clip up in the thread on G.E. Smith's Tele promo a few weeks ago.

So here's Buddy Guy backed by G.E. Smith and the Saturday Night Live band, in a clip from a video from 1996 I have of Buddy live at his Chicago club, Buddy Guy's Legends. The 2 of them trade burning solos, Strat vs. Tele:

 

[marnold]

My favorite blues song ever: I Got My Mojo Working (but it just don't work on you). Is there anyone cooler than Muddy Waters, I ask you?


Or how about with L.A. Jones and Pinetop Perkins


Last, but not least, ol' Slowhand live with Robert Randolph

Here's another clip, this one a favorite piece of work from my all-time favorite guitar band, Lynyrd Skynyrd. "I Ain't The One" is most definitely a southern blues tune, and Skynyrd's musical roots were plainly and firmly American & British blues. So I figure it fits the topic.

I also have the video this came from, Freebird: The Movie. It's shot live in England a month after their July 1976 Atlanta concert that made their One More From The Road album, and the set sequence is the same.

The stage? The Stones were the headliners at this event. That's their Sticky Fingers Tongue thing sticking out into the crowd.

Steve Gaines had just joined Gary Rossington and Allen Collins about a month before the Atlanta show, taking over the 'Strat Chair' that Ed King had left in 75, and re-energizing the band. For a while, they'd gone without that 3rd guitar to complement Rossington's LP and Collins' Explorer/V/Firebird, and they admittedly lacked some spark. Actually, Leon Wilkeson's unison and counterpoint bass lines made them a 4-Guitar Army.

I pulled the video out last nite to watch it, as October 20 draws near, the date 31 years ago their plane went down in the swamps and claimed the lives of Gaines, his big sister Cassie (one of their 3 Honkettes) who'd gotten him the gig, and Ronnie Van Zandt.

Can anyone answer my question about the pedal Bonnamassa clicks in at 4 mins of the first JB video. It almost sound like an organ. I have been looking for that tone and I don't know what pedal gives it?

It's not a pedal. He's using volume swells.

 

[ZMAN]

Ahh, I see. You can achieve that sound with a volume pedal or pinky manipulation of the volume knob. That solves a lot of problems. Thanks.
