This guy was amazing. His phrasing, his leads, his timing, his singing, few can match this. Just the top dogs,...SRV, Albert King, BB king, Freddie King..Jeff was right up there. Being blind and playing in his lap, he never missed a lick. I love him.
All true. Then add on a very, very good singing voice. Why is it the blues greats were all great singers? Curious thing to think about. Many legendary guitarists were not singers.... but pretty much all the blues ones, were. Food for thought.
His technique & vocals were unsurpassed. It was a sad day for Blues and Jazz when recurrent cancer claimed Jeff Healey, March 2008. ~Greatly appreciated and sadly missed.
@Kingscrib. Digging’ your Neon Park Feats avatar! Saw them twice, met the band backstage once (unfortunately, after Lowell’s time, but they still banged ‘em out, with Fuller and Tackett aboard). Peace from Toronto!
The Blues with feeling and heart. What kind of moron would give this a thumbs down. Wish JH was still with us, but thankful we still have these videos and his music to remember him by. What a talent.
I had the privilege of seeing Jeff Healey live twice, and after the first time, I couldn't even look at my guitar for a week afterwards, that's how blown away I was! By the second time I saw him, I had become much more confident in my abilities as a guitarist, but I was still absolutely floored by what he could do. One of the most soulful players out there, and his loss was a very bad day for the blues, a very bad day indeed. And for all the doubters, Jeff had no vision whatsoever. In fact, he had no eyes; he lost his eyes to a rare form of cancer when he was a toddler, and that same cancer later came back and took his life. The only "eyes" Jeff had were made of glass.
@@TheRealMrbuffcat Not many did, Phil. He always seemed to know exactly where his chair was, and it took me quite a while to figure out exactly how he did it. He had his monitors set up facing his chair from opposite sides, so that when he could hear both monitors equally, he knew it was safe to sit back down. Jeff was a master showman, no two ways about it.
I picture my life as if Jeff Healey was alive, im happier that way, thinking he is still playing gigs around and being THE BEST :DD Love you Jeff, your feeling in your music is way beyond everyone elses.
That lick at 1:14 is about the tastiest piece of blues I've ever heard. For being a contemporary of SRV, he never got the same credit, but to my ears he was technically better, played just as expressively, and was capable of more stylistically than Stevie. SRV was great, no question, I just never knew why Jeff was overshadowed.
First time i nitice Jeff was in the Roadhouse movie, at first i thougy it have to be some funny movietrik, a bliind man playing guitar. Shortly after i found music in my local musicshop and after i told everyone: he is the gratest guitarplayer ever. Pure and simply awersome.
🛎️ Un coup de blues sûrement un génial, partage offrir ces comme un bon bœuf carrotes, mi la ré sol si mi, je vous remercie tous ensemble.. Bonne continuation 😊💯💯💞🗝️🎼🎶🎵🎸
A wonderful old man taught me how to play pool. When he started to lose his sight, his lovely daughter bought him a watch from CNIB that quite literally "told" him the time. All he had to do was to press the crown button.
There's a reason you can't find many 'how to play like Jeff Healey' tutorial videos.His licks are like no other.People just don't seem to be able to replicate it ,even though,unlike Jeff,they were able to see what he was playing.

Still here 2023 🎉 Jeff Healey will always be rembered and loved 😢❤ Rest in Peace

So do I, just amazing.
100%
I don’t know if anyone can match the speed of his licks! They’re legendary!
All true. Then add on a very, very good singing voice.

Poage57...only four thumbs down out of 94K views...is ...a cow. It's friendlier than you believe. Cows love music.
@@thereforeayam You are right this thumbs up to down ratio is still absurdly good considering there's always idiots down voting great videos.
I bet Stevie Wonder gave it a 🤙🏾. The two have something in common 💙
REST IN PEACE JEFF.
THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES.
YOU LIVE ON BROTHER IN OUR HEARTS
Jeff has got to be one of the most amazing musicians on the planet. BRAVO! RIP.
Took you out for a ten course dinner and you said
"Thanx for the snack"
JEFF HEALEY is One of a Kind !!!
Dave Murphy Ain’t No Joke on them Keys either !!!
Dave Murphy blows me away during all the recordings of this songs … so good ✅
Heaven got a whole lot cooler and a lot more blue when ol’ Healey showed up. RIP Jeff. U r loved
I've tried, but I honestly can't find the words that sufficiently convey just how much I appreciate and love Jeff Healey.
I miss you!
He was really something else. The licks he plays are so intense, uniquely his and full of emotion. A true loss.

Wow I didn't realize the extent of his blindness

The most outstanding guitarplayer. He had it all, he lives forever
My love and admiration for BB is unmatched, but I believe that this is the best cover I have ever heard! ❤️
my man is high!! This music is awesome.
It doesn't get any better!! The world lost one of the greatest when he passed. Thankfully what he left us will never leave us!!
Perfection, that intro made me want to weep. What a talent. Although I thought he’d be taller ....... 😀
Wow, wish you were still here♡
Amazing!!! Jeff, you make me feel.....
What an incredible guitar player it was...unbelievable how he could play like this.....amazing and fantastic, R.I.P. Jeff!
Jeff Healey was just awesome Period!
And the outstanding Alex Fraser on bass!
This man was so amazing. This feeling, ideas and unbelieve playing. Thank god, saw him at two times with the great Sideman Philip Sayce.
ONE AND ONLY: MR JEFF HEALEY, FROM CANADA!!!!!
What amazing musician he was!!! Rip
I picture my life as if Jeff Healey was alive, im happier that way, thinking he is still playing gigs around and being THE BEST :DD
Love you Jeff, your feeling in your music is way beyond everyone elses.
Just an incredible talent. So sad for anyone to die so young.
Jeff's feelin' those blues
Fantastic blues player, such a shame he's gone.
Legend guitarist ❤️🙏🎼🎵🎶🎸✌️🇮🇱👌🍀

You’re right he slaughter Stevie on little sister overall he’s better.
So right. He could hold his own with anyone, and smoke plenty of them.
"...I just never knew why Jeff was overshadowed." Cdn vs Amer. (Plus keep in mind, SRV was of course pretty darn awesome)
Complete blue perfection!
So overjoyed I just found this. Mega haps
Miss you Jeff, miss you greatly.

Funny, it was the movie Roadhouse that introduced me to Jeff Healey's virtuosity.
Hey, I'm the n° 1000 who liked you and admred you so much! Proud of it! Elmore D. You're deep in my heart.

Why does he have a watch?
They make watches for blind people.
