Kenny used to jam at parties we had in our piano shop in Littleton Colo in 1976. Followed him and his band in little clubs in Denver. Unbelievable amazing music, progressive jazz. We were too poor to buy recording equipment. Kenny, thanks for those memories!
@@drogba4evah672 I was wondering the same thing. I discovered him in my 60s and had been playing music since I was 18. This guy is right in there with the greats!
I would like to thank Otis Gibbs for showing me the wonderful Kenny Vaughan. I would highly recommend Otises channel lot of music history you aint gonna get anywhere else.
Both Kenny and Guthrie are killer guitar players. I know only because I've heard them up close and personal. The most amazing thing about these guys is that there are no gimmicks. First time I heard Kenny play, he was plugged directly into a Fender amp-no pedals or effects of any kind. Yet their sound is amazing!
Thing I really like about a lot of these songs is guitar playing rhythm is just as important as the lead. The players seem to sense this and trade back and forth effortlessly. The whole band is heard and chips in to make the songs sound great. Same with the vocals.
Yes, the rhythm playing by both is top notch, got to back the vocals and lead player no doubt! So important. I got a real kick watching Kenny and Guthrie trade off.
This is important for all guitar playing in all styles of music ... at least IMHO. A band with solid rhythm and mediocre lead playing will sound better then shredding lead player and a crap rhythm section. Even better if the vocals are good.
@@MartinMCade Yes, I agree it makes all the difference in the world. I also will say that if the drummer isn't excellent the band will suck too. I think we've all heard those bands who have a crap rhythm section and a shredding lead player, not really worth listening to for any length of time really.
@@jamespettersson9655 I’m sure they’ve got compressors and OD maybe some delay but it’s all subtle and musical. They’re not tap dancing on boards to make the songs because the songs aren’t “written” that way. Just straight tearing up the guitars.
Guthrie Trapp's guitar solo begins at the 3:00 minute mark. There aren't enough superlatives or hyperbolical expressions of praise for me to express my opinion of his incredible, magnificent, wonderful, marvelous, spectacular, remarkable, phenomenal, prodigious, breathtaking, extraordinary, unbelievable, amazing, stunning, astounding, astonishing, awe-inspiring, staggering, formidable, impressive, supreme, great, awesome, superhuman; fantastic, terrific, tremendous, stupendous, mind-boggling, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, out of this world, far out; and wondrous, two minute guitar solo. ...but if you can think of any, help me out. OH, and Kenny Vaughan's solo is pretty much off the charts great, too!
They took that song and killed it! That was sick 2 masters on the same stage. They both played great, giving each other room and complimenting without worrying about it, that's what I call style
@@billmauro7338 Never heard anything less than top notch music in Nashville. I suppose with so many great players around, only the best get to gig in the bars around the Broadway area.
These boys make it look so easy but they're definitely from another planet. They're burning that place down I can still feel the heat all these years later.
John Lee Hooker wrote music that jumps to almost any genre. Kenny & Guthrie both look for pieces that serve as launching pads, and this is one of the best. As usual, what knocks me out is the rhythm that both artists play. Butt-rockin’!
Crazy good… Love how Kenny and the band just lock in when Guthrie starts charging… Awesome rhythm backing and just perfect accompaniment… Kenny’s vocals are really good too… Would love to see these guys…
I remember when Kenny Vaughn was the lead guitarist in the Denver New Wave group "The Gluons" circa 1980. He was in a league by himself then ... and now!
Love the playing of Kenny Vaughan. I can't speak for others, but Kenny Vaughan's playing inspires me to do better on guitar. And hats off to Guthrie Trapp. Wow! Great player, no doubt about it! One of the finest guitar players I've heard in a long time.
This ain't surf music but Guthrie Trapp is sure out there hangin 10! Insane. I don't know how the audience does it, sittin on their butts through that.
"Incredible"?? Yes, he is solid as a rock, and (as are all good bass players) undoubtably a very good musician, but he is playing a two beat on the I and V...is there a more basic part for a bassist?? I am delighted that he saw fit to simply play this basic part, but the bass "line" is "incredible"??? Seems like a bombastic exaggeration...
@@commontater8630 Pedantic as I may be, my comment was directed at the assignation of "incredible" to the bass line, instead of to the bass player. Yes, a two-beat, I-V bass line is dumb-as-shit, but for many songs, dumb-as-shit is the only appropriate bass line. What is "incredible" to me is that a young musician would be satisfied with being limited to dumb-as-shit, without wanting to "improve" on it (by ruining the groove with showboating bullshit), instead of employing it to create a groove a mile wide and a mile deep, like our young bass hero in this video. I hope to fuck that institutions such as Berklee see fit to teach the importance, validity and appropriateness of dumb-as-shit, in addition to their usual 3-ring-circus approach to how to play "music"...
I've seen both of these guys a few years ago with Don Kelly downtown. Both are excellent in their own right. And I enjoyed them both with Don Kelly numerous times. Good stuff!
Cousin Kenny, you and Guthrie are on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Most under rated guitar player in the world. Any style and KV is all over it!
Word. He's a chameleon. Does it all.

Kenny Vaughan- my new favorite guitarist. How I spent 55 years on planet earth and just now learned his name is beyond me.

Love Otis~ no homo
The only thing wrong with this video is that I can't click the Thumbs Up button more than once! Epic guitar work!
Yeah, they'd be in the 100,000's by now if we all could!
Guthrie's solo was insane!
I’m about t watch this 47 times in a row …..binge
Kenny just kills it here. One of the best red dirt country solo’s ever. Fantastic

sounds stilted to me, could have been way better

Kenny is so cool, so good -- he burns it up then hands it off to Guthrie, who keeps it burnin. What a pair!
Guthrie has some unique phrasing that just has your brain 🧠 working overtime
Guthrie is just sick, they're all good but guthrie is just a beast!!! Gives you the chills!! Incredible and beyond inspiring
No peddals, no effects, just great pickin'! Love it!!
Stricktlly Telecasters
there is a little peddling going on, some of kennys nasty sound is pedaled up a bit, the guy is a monster player

@@dangerrrnick5005 Tearing it up is right ! Hot damn 🔥
It felt like those solos could build forever
Kenny Vaughn and the great Guthrie Trapp! It don't get better than this!
Guthrie, one of the best solos on youtube, holy cow !!! and Kenny is a beast too of course
I love Guthrie Trapp's reactionafter his solo. You can totally tell he's down to Earth.
He is so humble. What a great man..
These Tele-slingers are next level! Bubbles pretty awesome on the bass alos! lol...

...Epic, face-melting, eye-popping, speechlessness-rendering (ok, that one's a stretch!)...
Sublime and yeah, sexy. Someone had to say it.
Ask Kenny. He'd have some Fabulous Superlatives.
WOW!! These guys must have been born with Telecasters in their hands. Absolutely smokin' hot guitar work.
They took that song and killed it! That was sick 2 masters on the same stage. They both played great, giving each other room and complimenting without worrying about it, that's what I call style
These guys are so good it is almost scary. Just fantastic.
no ....... it's scary !
So true. Nashville guitars are simply the best
Imagine getting called up in a jam when they're on stage! Now THAT would be scary!
@@billmauro7338 Never heard anything less than top notch music in Nashville. I suppose with so many great players around, only the best get to gig in the bars around the Broadway area.
@@jokermaan1 not everyone is scary good,,,you still have to search them out,,,,but they are there for sure
Vaughn is the man. Les Paul just appeared before my eyes
Saw this guy with Marty Stuart live a few months back, my jaw was dropped the entire time.
Saw them a few weeks ago. When my jaw wasn't on the floor , my eyes were welling up! Fantastic!
Saw him with Marty 8/26/19 in Salem Oregon at the state fair.
❤ I’m back and it’s still better than ever.
I can’t get enough of this. I think I’ve watched this probably 20 times in the last three days. Hell, I’m sax player! LOL
Kenny is so good check him out playing with Lucinda Williams on Austin City Limits. Absolutely an awesome set what a great band she had in 98.
These boys make it look so easy but they're definitely from another planet. They're burning that place down I can still feel the heat all these years later.
I always thought Kenny was extra-terrestrial, and now here's a buddy of his joining him onstage.
Guthrie is the man
That look Kenny gives Guthrie at 3:55 is just pure, raw, in-the-grease gold. A rumba pattern?? Daaaaang fellas 😂😂😂
John Lee Hooker wrote music that jumps to almost any genre. Kenny & Guthrie both look for pieces that serve as launching pads, and this is one of the best. As usual, what knocks me out is the rhythm that both artists play. Butt-rockin’!
Kenny Vaughn has that Jimmy Bryant vibe ....very strong authoritative player.....like a million soldiers breaking through a wall
Kenny Vaughn is a fantastic guitar player!
One of the very best. Ever. Period.
I love that walk down he does going back every time and Guthrie trapp is The man
Crazy good… Love how Kenny and the band just lock in when Guthrie starts charging… Awesome rhythm backing and just perfect accompaniment… Kenny’s vocals are really good too… Would love to see these guys…
Every guitar player in the world is standing in tall weeds trying to even come close to Kenny's level of play.
I watch this EVERY DAY
I remember when Kenny Vaughn was the lead guitarist in the Denver New Wave group "The Gluons" circa 1980. He was in a league by himself then ... and now!
Guthrie Trapp.....Is Freaking AMAZING...LOVE HIM..
Love the playing of Kenny Vaughan. I can't speak for others, but Kenny Vaughan's playing inspires me to do better on guitar. And hats off to Guthrie Trapp. Wow! Great player, no doubt about it! One of the finest guitar players I've heard in a long time.

Bass line on this is incredible. My compliments to that young man.
JT Cure. He’s Chris Stapletons bass player. Very good musician.
"Incredible"?? Yes, he is solid as a rock, and (as are all good bass players) undoubtably a very good musician, but he is playing a two beat on the I and V...is there a more basic part for a bassist??

@@musicofanatic Maybe what's incredible is that he takes an eat shit bass part and makes it musical.

...but then again...JCKAMK might be my new favorite music critic if he considers that bass line to be incredible...!
Kenny Vaughn kicks all asses when it comes to picking a Telecaster.
Kenny was born to play so good ! I feel like I'm living again, listening to real music.
Damn...that run Guthrie started about 3:20 is sick....awesome....
NOW WHO CAN PLAY BETTER THAN THAT
Guthrie is freaking amazing
Trapp is a beast.
Brilliant
Real music is alive and well.
the whole package, he is awesome go Kenny.
Love seeing guys this good let loose and rip on guitar
Kenny is so versatile. Love listening to him. Telecaster bliss! Great in concert with Marty Stuart.
My two favourite “Guitstingers”..... YEEEHAAA......
Guthrie is out of this world fantastic!
Amazing guitar players, and drums and bass of course.
Beautiful.
Best wishes from Argentina
yeah , kenny is stellar and yeah guthrie trapp is awesome too !

Fantastic guitar players
Kenny and Guthrie burning it down! ! ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kenny and Guthrie killin' it here.
that was freakin fun to see.... this is the kind of kick nashville needs more of...
Wow, absolute killer guitar playing!!! 👍🎸
Holy Smoke Lord ! These guys are on fire ! Amen !
Ouah! Just unbelievable!
Just a big compliment for the bass player. Great looking bass, especially with the sponge! Love his playing technique with the left hand. 👍🏻👏🏻
I've seen both of these guys a few years ago with Don Kelly downtown. Both are excellent in their own right. And I enjoyed them both with Don Kelly numerous times. Good stuff!
Lord, Guthrie Trapp is absolutely and insanely incredible!
Ten years too late, but I'm glad I found this. Bravo.
What an insane amount of work it must have taken to play that well. Wow!
Grandios. Schade, dass Künstler wie er nicht so oft in Eutopa suftreten
Greetings from 🇩🇪
You go, Cuz!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We love Kenny!!
kenny showing us how its done, tele right into an amp and killing it! legend, and one of my new favs Guthrie trapp …awesome
Incredible talent on that stage..
3.54 to 3.58 - a country blues montuno... never heard one of those before :-) Chapeau Mr Trapp!
twangbarfly: 3:54 works better, goes straight to the spot. Thanks for the tip. Never heard of 'monturo' before, though the musical bit is familiar.
Those guys are awesome, incredible, brillant !!!!
❤I love Guthrie too, Kenny Vaughn knows how to comp. Yes he do
Some guitarists get into the "Zone" once or twice per concert. Some only once or twice in their life. Kenny lives there full time.
just love it. hope to see him live once.
That’s so good!!
I first encountered Kenny telling stories with Otis Gibbs. I had no idea...
Kenny and Guthrie.................bad ass guitar playing
Whooo, Lordy!
Outstanding
yea!!
That's it! I'm burning my guitar!
Thanks to Marty Stuart, I've become a real fan of Kenny Vaughan.
Good playing, good blues. I'm glade he is keeping music alive. Good scales. The best I've heard in a long time.
Kenny rocks!!!
Two if the worlds BEST! Cousin Kenny V. and Guthrie T. simply outstanding!!!
chickinpickin1 Guthrie hope to see you soon at Roberts Jim Rathbone 1952@gmail.com
What a treat to see these two play together. Two of Nashville's finest, as well as the worlds finest.
We miss Nashville but we are coming back!!
Yessssss indeed!
From what I've seen of Kenny Vaughn, he's a C.G.P.
I always loved his work on RFD-TV show with Marty Stuart
Thanks for the upload
Marvelous!...............Thank you for sharing!
This is terrific!
love this guy , freakin awesome ...
