I discovered Jim by accident and he's a real genius and and gives me chills all over my body when he let's talk his Guitar. Awesome, Roy would be pleased!
I never tire of this piece , in fact I think its most likely my most favourite guitar composition, No1, piping at the post Anthony Wilson's masterpiece "The Geranium ". Thank you, Jim, great work.
Goodness...this is amazing! This man has become my favorite living electric guitar player. I can't think of anyone whose style excites me more nowadays.
Roy and Phil Keagy both were masters of the pinky swell. I have seen them both live numerous times. Jim holds his own. I love how no matter what he does it becomes his own.
Recently read an "opine" that Roy BUCHANAN'S guitar skills were just standard. So by evidence of this performance, his "standard" playing gets Roy recognized by a great player who certainly was standardly influenced by Roy B
I can follow him to a point. Then it sounds like he's driving right off a cliff with the direction he's going...... Then, like magic, we are back on the road again, like nothing was ever even close to being dangerous.
Vol control in different positions than on Roy's but he sure got Roy's spirit along w unique sounds and bits of flamenco dancing with Western music (in my ears!).
After years of perfecting his "volume" sweep" one day Jim hurt his hand and someone provide a Volume pedal for him to use that night. After the show Jim said OMG had I known about these I could have spent those countless hours perfecting something else.... .....just kidding folks!

Here's a funny story that just happened to me and it goes to show that it's a good idea to develop your own "volume sweeping" skills rather than depending on a volume pedal. I got a new Fender Jazzmaster and on about the 7th. day I inserted my volume pedal between it and my amp. The next day I thought my new Jazzmaster lead channel's volume pot had crapped out. After troubleshooting I realized my Chinese made volume pedal was somehow cutting the volume from vol setting of 8 and downward to vol setting no. 1. Even at vol no. 7 the guitar was almost innaduable. I removed that Behringer FCV100 volume pedal immediately once I was certain it caused the problem. Now my new Jazzmaster is behaving normally once again. Funny but it did nothing to the rhythm channel or my other guitars. The Jazzmaster does have a 1 Meg ohm resistor on the lead channel volume pot and the pedal did not play well with it.
it's an early 70s silverface Prinecton Reverb that he gigs with around town (including here). He owns several others however, including a blackface Princeton Reverb.
You get it and I get it; Roy was the man; the master of the Telecaster. I believe Roy had a gift and was a gift from God. Roy was like Jimi, his heart and soul went directly to the instrument. I think it is worthy to be inspired by others, but I will never be like any of these people, nor should I try to be; I am just who I am. Roy's playing was just gut-wrenching, full of melancholy and lament, intense beyond definition.
Same ten licks over and over with no chops and no feel, just bs and boring as hell. If he was standing in front of Roy playing this sh#t he would piss his trousers after Roy got through playing.
"Oh, look, the emperor's wearing no clothes." I very, very much doubt that Roy Buchanan would have been impressed! FFS! Go and listen to Roy, or Danny... or any number of 'great' Tele players but not this!
Who peed in your cornflakes> Who knows what Roy would think. Danny and Roy both had their demons though both were great players. Never saw Roy but I did see Danny in a Club. Jim seems like a really nice well balanced guy and produces some nice stuff. I particularly like the Little Willies where Snora Jones actually shines.
@@peterthart531 Hahaha! Sorry....I forgot...we live in a world where people can post shite and nobody is entitled to a critical opinion! Excellent! Yeah...we might not know what Roy thinks..... But I know what I think!
So much heart and soul in Jim's sound, and a deep genuine love of the tradition.
I discovered Jim by accident and he's a real genius and and gives me chills all over my body when he let's talk his Guitar. Awesome, Roy would be pleased!
Jim Always Makes Me Smile! Peace & Love! WooF!!🐶🐶
I never tire of this piece , in fact I think its most likely my most favourite guitar composition, No1, piping at the post Anthony Wilson's masterpiece "The Geranium ". Thank you, Jim, great work.
Jim Campilongo is one of the most creative improvisers on the planet!! Simply one of a kind playing.
Hearing a splash of Jeff Beck in there .
lesesquire and he plays guitar pretty good too...🙄
@@thomasprice1760 Love the muting! go man go!
Goodness...this is amazing! This man has become my favorite living electric guitar player. I can't think of anyone whose style excites me more nowadays.
Same! Love this guy!!
Tele craftsmanship at its very best. Just superb.
Roy and Phil Keagy both were masters of the pinky swell. I have seen them both live numerous times. Jim holds his own. I love how no matter what he does it becomes his own.
If I didn't see him,he could have fooled me.Excellent.Loved Roy's playing and even met him twice.
I will listen to this all day. It feels spot on right now. Thank You!
I just discovered this guy -- he is GREAT. Thanks for posting this !!!!!
Jim is an old friend from High School......good job man!
Roy's sound...tone..Jim is an amazing player... first person to come close to Roy's style...but this guy's got it
instaBlaster.
Definitely hes got Roys sounds hes great...
Unbelievably good! How did I not know of this guy until yesterday?
I'm going to assume you're jokng. ;)
I just found him in 2022.
Been playing guitar for 30 yrs... when I grow up I want to play like Jim Campilongo! In other words.. probably take a life time to play like he does..
Beautiful playing Roy would love it!
So impressed, I can't stop smiling at this man's playing! Fantastic
I keep coming back to watch this again & again. There is something utterly mesmerizing about this piece.
Like how he takes chances, very much.
So totally immersed in the art...truly beautiful.
Very nice! Jim is fun to watch. He loves his tele that is for sure.
Continually sounds like he'll crash and burn into a squealing mess. But he never does. Amazing player, and writer.
The Pure Artist....... This Cat is gifted........
'Blues For Roy'. Excellent, thanks for uploading
My new favourite guitarist
What a tone.
The guy is crazy. I like it.
out of this WORLD INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION AND TRAVELING PEACEOUT!
no peddles.. synthesizers..just innovative ingenuity............really AWESOME ......
Absolutely majestic!
still love it!!
Magic!
Jim, I like how you approach things. Good stuff.
Nang nang!! Love it! Puts a smile on my face every time!
Jim should score Quentin Tarantino's next movie, seriously.
Why?
duh
duh what Rocco?
Rocco Astoria duh what Rocco?
he should
Love listening to this, great piece.
Peter Green's Albatross ingluences, as well as Ray B . Super playing !! ❤😎❤😉❤😎❤😉
As always, Great!
WOW!
captivated by this performance
Who needs words..beautiful :-)
Great stuff. The most un-flashy flashy playing around.
One of the best tele player!.
OMG that’s awesome!
So good.
Gorgeous telecaster working. Roy Buchanan-like, intimate relationship with the tone of this guitar.
How'd he get Roy? Voicings, bends, and tone! The bends are miraculous!
extremely good taste and original
sick playing!
Me encanta!!
This is real. Dark and sinister. A lo-fi Tele movement. Angelo Badalamenti esque. I'm a hooked fan forever!
Wowers
A tele, a Princeton, and a badass 😆
So fucking amazing
Love this sooo much! Roy would be chuffed.
Those are some heavenly "Tele Tones"
univibe23 just a vintage fender into a vintage princeton ... only about 10k lol ... oh and a cable :-)

Yes Roy!!!
I can follow him to a point.
Then it sounds like he's driving right off a cliff with the direction he's going......
Then, like magic, we are back on the road again, like nothing was ever even close to being dangerous.
Good, original music!
Real men play single coils.
Are you calling Duane Allman a kid?
And 9s
They are integral to his toan and technique
Takes a lighter touch to play 9s in tune but I love the spongey warm overtones that they deliver
That’s a weirdly specific thing to gatekeep.
@@hellatightdude person who made that comment clearly didn't have the gusto to conquer a les paul
They dondt care bout the buzz. So you need no keyboard player for background noise.
Vol control in different positions than on Roy's but he sure got Roy's spirit along w unique sounds and bits of flamenco dancing with Western music (in my ears!).
He's using the tone control to get those amazing swells.
Just Imagine whats this Cats thinking to come up with these rhythms and Leads........... Happy Music
Total bad ass! Go Jim Go!
he's got all the tone RB had and that's saying something.
I feel like i'm drunk in Nashville. Amazing
He went a bit “guitar centre” at 2:01
I like how Harrison Ford plays the guitar :v
'specially when he Solos ;)
Skreetch is good on bass too.
Rey Thomo “playing guitar ain’t like dusting crops boy...”
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! *****
APPLAUSE
Woof!!
AWESOME...as always. :-)

The Jazzmaster does have a 1 Meg ohm resistor on the lead channel volume pot and the pedal did not play well with it.
That number cannot be played on anything else or less than telecaster
one piece ash body and piece maple neck sound together like heaven and hell at once
Tell that to Jeff Beck!
Massive tone from the Master here all on 9's for bigger strings vs tone nonsense its all in the hands.
more volume and reverb and speed
Richard Gere has some chops
Wonder what amp he is using here?? Sounds amazing!
Fender Princeton at 10.
@@MrOdissea1978 Princeton *Reverb*, quite a different amp. Jim uses a 70s silverface the most. Volume indeed at 10 as well as the bass.
TWINK TWIFF TAD TURD BLUES.
Es una broma o una genialidad?
Great video! Was he playing the Princeton 68 or the 65?
I'd image he plays with a vintage version, not the custom or reissue.
But that's just my imagination
it's an early 70s silverface Prinecton Reverb that he gigs with around town (including here). He owns several others however, including a blackface Princeton Reverb.
Jim 1 of y favs....back to 10gallon cats....🙄
These Cats look like they're going to take a Nap!
what instrument is that? it sounds too cool!
It is a 59 Fender telecaster.
Hey, could anyone tell me what the name of this piece is?? Cheers:)
Blues for Roy
Ive tried to watch a handful of this guys videos, but i guess that i just dont get it. Ha

Roy's playing was just gut-wrenching, full of melancholy and lament, intense beyond definition.
Middle sucked. Everything else was great
Awful I dont know who sounds worse the guitar or the band
Same ten licks over and over with no chops and no feel, just bs and boring as hell. If he was standing in front of Roy playing this sh#t he would piss his trousers after Roy got through playing.
Can you provide a link to your playing so I can hear it and possibly learn from it?
Jim is a guitar players guitar player. He’s a fucking legend.
"Oh, look, the emperor's wearing no clothes." I very, very much doubt that Roy Buchanan would have been impressed! FFS! Go and listen to Roy, or Danny... or any number of 'great' Tele players but not this!
