I had to watch this video again. Just studying David Grissom’s right hand technique, hybrid picking, and using the pots for tonal color is like getting a college degree from Berklee.
Thank you for posting it Robert. DG, Billy Gibbons, are the real deal. T-Bone Walker, Gatemouth, Johnny Copeland, the Vaughn Brothers, rock n’ roll royalty, Texas rocks.
I first met David in 1987. He was playin guitar for Joe Ely, who's a friend of mine. Every project David has done, he's been the hotshot guitar player, but also the sideman. I think it's great that he's branched out more into writing, singing, and being his own frontman. He's a good singer, a good writer. And the scorching guitar is just the cherry on top. We're just all too spoiled in Austin, getting to see him on a regular basis. But, NO complaints at all!!!!
First saw David on MuchMusic when he was playing with Joe Ely. His tone and playing knocked me out and still does. I have his first two solo records and they are fantastic. Humble guy, great player and absolute killer tone.
Smokin' ! I love DG's use of space and lyricism in his lines. He can blaze, but doesn't crowd notes nor play notes for the sake of filling all the time. I think they call it impeccable good taste. Never tire of listening to him, and this is one great song composition as well.
He’s written many amazing songs. He’s underrated, under-appreciated and under-publicized as a songwriter. Good Day For the Blues and Way Down Deep I will put up against any classic rock tune from any era. David has inspired me to be a more decent human being with every listen.
It goes without saying that David's playing is outstanding but love the vocal too, he has a very expressive voice, not polished but really good to listen to.
Hey, Joe. Indeed! Love your country English. I failed 3rd grade too and I loved it. Too much throwin' spit balls and lookin' up chickies dresses. It's all rock and roll, brother. Welcome Home! PJ the Vet.
I first saw him as Joe Ely's sideman, when joe used to play north side bars in Chicago once in a while back in the mid 1970's. David was great then and still is.
@@johnsmith-zf1fd DG joined Ely’s band in ‘85 or something, which would make him 7 years old if he was born in 78. He was probably born in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
This is a great song but if you ever had the opportunity to see the band Storyville and sung by Malford Milligan then you know just how great it really is….👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Silvio, Here you go: Lest we forget, bridges are burnin‘ Lest we forget, the tides they are turnin’ Please forgive us, send some help from above We’ve got all we need, but it’s never enough And I’m sorry to say, that I’m amazed at what passes for love Brother to brother please lend a hand Father and mother, won’t you help us understand We learn kind of slow, but these lessons are tough This house will survive if we hammer hard enough And I’m sorry to say, that I’m amazed at what passes for love Too many riches, too many rules Too many heroes, and too many fools Fuel the fires of the wars we wage Fire of anger, without light Fire that shatters the black of night With seeds of hate and tears of rage.
Would get to Antone's early for Storyville in '95 to make sure I was right in front of David's guitar amp. Would just listen to his guitar the whole time.
Good song, I'm new to DG, I'm really trying to like the PRS Guitars but I can't hear anything coming from this guitar that make's me stand back and say wow that guitar sounds good, Just isn't happening. Maybe a different song?? IDK.
+Pistol Walker That's more of a problem with the recording than the guitar sound in itself. Vidcams can really suck at getting the sound right. Loads of treble and some bass and not much of a midrange to make the song and the guitar sound right. You don't need a really big amp, David uses a custom built 30 or 50 watt amp on most of his gigs...
Grissom is a tone God. He’s got some of the best tone I’ve ever heard, particularly at the crazy reasonable volume levels he’s at here. Check other videos from Saxon Pub. If you don’t dig the tone...there’s no accounting for.....

I am amazed at what passes for love as well...Just awesome David Grissom!!!!!
How in the world am I just today finding out about this guy/band? Wow. Really amazing stuff.
That is some swingin’ Texas blues, DG crushing it on all fronts tonal and frontman, really nice.
So lucky, can't imagine just walking in a bar and seeing this...
He played with my favorite 2 bands, Joe Ely & Storyville. Monster tone !

2 places I wish I lived, Nashville or Austin Texas. such great music in both cities!
Oh, believe me when I say it's my pleasure!
I’m blown away. Omg
David Grissom wrote this amazing song!

Yeah thats the tone man
Best intro ever!

PRS DGT through his pedal board into a PRS signature 30 watt/EL84's into a PRS 2x12" cab.
Speaking, singing, slaying, feeling, flavoring, fleeing, reaching, racing, raunching, real.
Thank you SO MUCH for all the videos and especially this one played while DG was in Storyville and also covered in Mayalls era.
I've seen this video a thousand times, Grissom is amazing! A million thanks for uploading this material!
Good stuff! I always enjoy listening to David
Absolute lesson in tone, especially the opening 2:30.
Know what amp he's playing?
@@stratless Back then? Not sure. Probably some kind of PRS. These days he's playing his PRS signature model.
So Good ✨Tone Machine!
Pocket and swing. What more do you need. 🙏🏼😁
Don't miss him at the Saxon, a great venue to see him.
Best Storyville song for sure !!!
Yeh, David you got da groove happ’n!
Great job on the video.
Met him with Storyville. Very nice guy.
hells yeah!
Play it!!!
One of the better colaborations in a long time, but Malford is painfully missed.
hell yes

How can that be when DG was born in 78?

Thanks for posting. I live in Louisville so I can't make it ti the Saxon Pub.
jeezum crow what an intro!!!
The double stop king
You might wanna check Brent Mason too, bud. cheers!
Some Duane licks in there! Great
Thank You.What was he playing through.Good God.Tone Sandwich.
Texas shit don't never go away. Joe the Vet.
i like it, I wish I could get some reconition
David is such an amazing guitar player!!! Didn't know that dr. House plays bass...
Ha!
This is a great song but if you ever had the opportunity to see the band Storyville and sung by Malford Milligan then you know just how great it really is….👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I live in Austin. I’ve heard him many times.
sweet
5:45 just ordered a cold one 🍺
you are hereby recognized
Solid bottom with that walking bass..
what is David using here for overdrive tone? Pedals or amp gain?
At the time he used a Psionic Audio Telos pedal and an Xotic EP Booster and amp gain.
what a great song, who can help me with the lyrics? ...thx and greetings from Germany
Silvio,
Here you go:
Lest we forget, bridges are burnin‘
Lest we forget, the tides they are turnin’
Please forgive us, send some help from above
We’ve got all we need, but it’s never enough
And I’m sorry to say, that I’m amazed at what passes for love
Brother to brother please lend a hand
Father and mother, won’t you help us understand
We learn kind of slow, but these lessons are tough
This house will survive if we hammer hard enough
And I’m sorry to say, that I’m amazed at what passes for love
Too many riches, too many rules
Too many heroes, and too many fools
Fuel the fires of the wars we wage
Fire of anger, without light
Fire that shatters the black of night
With seeds of hate and tears of rage.
@@stevetomich9457 Thank you very much Steve ... I love this number !! Greetings from Leipzig ;-)
He is not Malford, but quite good at singing.
That waitress is a Sith
That waitress tho

+Pistol Walker try picking one up and jamming on a (real)big stage. They are awesome
kadu almeida I can do all of the above Other than the really big stage. I have the really big amp.

These people need to shut up. What he is playing is way better then your conversation.
Ugh ! No offense but only Malford can sing this one........
70sRefugee Only Mayall can sing this one ;)
lihoman.ru Not even close to Malford. Just sayin'
I wish I could spell better, Too much vodka
