cartervintage....
Brian Setzer visited the shop and was happy to oblige us with a quick video of him playing this incredibly cool 1941 L-5.
Many years ago I was a barman in a nightclub which had a band called 'The Stray Cats' playing one night. All that was on stage was a snare drum, a double bass and a small amp with a 2×12 cabinet. They ripped the shit out of the place! I'll never forget it. Brilliant.
That's a awesome
5 chord changes in a 7 second run deserves your respect and attention.
watch the dickey betts and brian setzer video. insane picking. even DB was amazed.
Any Person: "Hey Brian, what's that chord you're playing"?
Brian: "all of them."
Very funny !... :))
I don't think so.........
He mainly plays versions of dominant chords.........
Not at all like this dude playing chords......

@@ArnaudSiemons it's a joke
He knows the chords to EVERYTHING .... in every voicing ...INSIDE OUT. .... great player.
Brian is to me one the greatest guitar player who have ever lived, technique, style, class, history... Brian is what I call a "real" artist in the best way I can Imagine. Saw him a number of times with the Cats and my gosh it was each time some very great gigs. Meeting him one day somewhere on the streets would be the best day in my poor life.
Agree.i would love to meet him too.xx
Wes Montgomery
Brian is such an amazing player, a true pleasure to listen to
Agree.❤❤
One of the most under rated guitar players ever.
I think you were probably referring to Jerry Garcia.
no one thinks that you tool
Not by anyone who knows anything about guitars.
@@rodarificusmaximus733 who?
Not underrated.
Brian is a class act! So underrated it's sad. He deserves a throne up next to Clapton, Hendrix, Page, and good old SRV!
I agree
Honestly. IMO Brian Setzer leaves all those guys behind in the dust. I love almost all Stray Cats songs, Brian Setzer and Brian Setzer Orchestra songs.
Cant say the same for the ones you mentioned, although I do like them as well though.
@@dannyherrera1598 dude! Srv? Come on now! I love brian, but stevie was on another level.
Andy pride I’ve seen Brian Setzer three times. He’s on par with anyone. He’s easily the most underrated and overlooked guitarist of all-time
@@spectrelfc1152 brian is definitely not overlooked. I bet if you asked brian about stevie he would agree with me. There a video on CZcams of them playing together.
Brian is that rare perfect storm of talents and abilities. Singing, writing, musicianship, showmanship, leadership, personality, business acumen, a grasp of history and tradition, discipline and fun, and an endurance for hard work and long hours that has carried him through decades in a tough business. In the old days, guys like that became big band leaders. So that's what he did.
Elfman cuts a similar figure in show biz, but he decided to maybe go easier on himself, get off the stage and score films instead.
Lastly, is it just me or does he look more and more like McCartney?
Brians hotter❤❤
Here you are again lol
McCartneyish...yes.
Plus...he’s from Longggg Island!
Both are women...
Saw him two years ago for Christmas. Best Show I’ve seen in decades.
Was that show in SF?
@@nancychace8619 nope it was Durham, NC.
@@jasmadams did ya see him at DPAC
@@nitrojunkie9027 yes that was it. Right next to the jail.
One of the finest all-around musicians. All of us are in his debt for his rockabilly project...preservation of the origins of rock & roll.
this guy always had a certain cool about him. thanks Brian you made me smile.
Have enjoyed Brian and his music for so many years - and I find it equally enjoyable to watch him just sit and noodle around. You da man, sir!
This man has forgotten more chords than I have ever known.
@Landup Skydown you have no idea that I’m complimenting his playing do you?
@Landup Skydown wow, epic fail dude
@@attentiondeficitsquirrel7660 the people you run into on CZcams 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤣
you made me laugh and smile after
This mans voice is shot….
Our band opened for Brian in the 90's and a couple of us hung out in his tour bus with him and his tour manager - he was the nicest guy ever!
Oh god he is nice! I got into his dressing room after his Knife Feels Like Justice tour. He couldn't have been sweeter. I shook his hand way too many times and fan girled out of there. Apparently the concert promoter thought I was going to sleep with him because he took me to Brian. I was so niave, but I got out of that without being raped.
Was the tour manager Canadian? Because that was the guy.
@@elysemeuer7646 This was at least 8-9 years after the Knife Feels Like Justice tour. Not sure if the guy was Canadian or not, but him and Brian were both awesome.
The coolest cat playing one of the coolest guitars.
It’s a bold performer who sits down on camera and can just play around without having it all mapped out and rehearsed - kudos BS that was amazing
your comment is best
I saw Brian Setzer (post Stray Cats, pre-Brian Setzer Orchestra) open for George Thorogood. It should have been the other way around. Fast forward to 1991, and due to work, I find myself at the NAMM show standing not more than 6 feet away from him much like this. He finishes, looks at me, and I say "Right on!". His response, "Cool".
I bumped into him at a Tesco express in Margate years ago, he was buying fags, bottle of vodka, tea bags and some biscuits - can’t remember what type. Gave him a fist bump as he walked past. This was pre-Covid as well before fist bumps were in fashion. Absolute legend
1:37 - I love the pleased expression on Mr.Setzter's face. He seems a real modest and humble man the way he plays this.
He is .real sweetie ❤❤
He looks like my gran
@@yonezawa2810 ha! Nah Brians a cool dude and plays better than your gran!
Brian Setzer is so good and entertaining. Criminally underrated and in my book, the greatest ever.
Totally agree. ✌️
No he isnt, you're just an idiot.
@@castleanthrax1833 you're as stupid as the original commenter
Roy Clark would beg to differ
@@andrewsantarsiero38 Let him.
I always loved his playing and the interchanging use of his pick.
nobody entertains better or makes me smile more,whether it's seeing him live with his big band or just hanging out at the guitar shop.love ya,Brian
am i the only one thinking it is a killer chord progression..
damn, Mr. Brian Setzer is one of the best
I myself couldn't keep up with all the chord changes, but I'm also new to this genre.. what do you call this anyway??
blues jazz, he's 7th and 9th in every chords belongs to blues genre, but he's melody and chord progression belongs to jazz. if you listen to stray cats thats original rock and roll, thats why mr.brian setzer is performing as an entertainer with the band, and when he play solo, he's musical intellectual just far beyond.
#just my opinion
Bintoro Dwi no, i reloaded and listened with my eyes closed. Just a cool smooth ride. Im with ya
Sweet Lorraine was written in 1928 and is considered a Jazz standard. Covered by tons of people including Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Marvin Gaye, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby etc.
Without Blues, Jazz doesn't exist. They're more tightly linked than some Jazz-types want to admit. Blues guys couldn't care less. You can Jazz up a Blues or Blues up a Jazz. This is the latter. An example of Jazzing up a Blues would be something like Stormy Monday or Need Your Love So Bad.
Bintoro Dwi no ,I really dug it too amd am using it myself ,oops lol
When the Stray Cats reunited in the late 80's, I saw them at a club in Austin, Texas called the Backroom. Was right up front of the stage, which was about waist high. I was directly in front of Brian....I could reach over and touch his foot if I had wanted....for the entire show. You have NO IDEA how amazing this guy is on the guitar....and can sing!!! Holy shit...... stunning.
I wonder how come he can keep so much in his head to sing and play such things. Genius!
Love him , can write amazing RNR songs that can contain up to 12 guitar solos in one song , and boy his solos are insane
Met him many years ago at a local club. He was not the type to just push people away. He had no issue hanging out and talking to others as though he's just a regular person.
I worked in a guitar store when I was young. I have always been a rock player who dabbles in classical guitar. But, without a doubt, whenever one of the Jazz players would come in the store and start playing like this...I was always in awe. You gotta really know your stuff to play like this. Brian is a true master of the style. And like the guy below said...he can do it all!
I could listen to this man all day n night he is so talented and charming and underated as an artiste.raw talent at its best.
Dig those chord progressions and strumming an picking variations! Brian, still the Coolest Cat on the Block. Nicely played Sir.
Brian is awesome !!! Good luck to anyone trying to replicate his unique style. It's all in his mind & fingers and you just never know what rockabilly notes he's going to play next. Genius guitarist!
honestly if you want his style i recommend learning jazz then that style will be a piece of cake 🍰 like it is for him
He's waaaay more than a rockabilly picker...as noted above, he can play that stuff in his sleep, with mittens on. All hail Brian!! 🔥
I'm smiling ear to ear listening to this guy. One of the very, very best players and singers in this style EVER!
Just saw him Sunday night! As always Fantastic! Before the show my wife took a picture of me holding his signature Gretch!
Am I the only one that feels like they could watch Brian Setzer play guitar all day? Such a cool guy!
Me too xx
yep.............you are unique..............fucking people fishing for likes
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 ok dude
I know every guitarist wants to play like him.
no matter what back ground you come from musically,you love brian setzer because he is guitar royalty
More of a tbone walker guy myself but I lost my shit the first time I heard the rock this town solo
not me......i love listening to Brian play and sing but the guitar picker want to be is JJ Cale. How goo d you ave to be to get Clapton to play in your back up band? Not lead. even though he did from time to time, answer.....JJ cale good. 2 of EC big hits were covers of JJ. after midnight and cocaine EC all said of JJ "one of the most important artists in the history of rock." EC also said of JJ " "He was a fantastic musician. And he was my hero" he was coverd by lynard skynard,Jerry Garcia,Kansas, Johnny Cash, Bobby Bare, John Mayer, Johnny Hiland, poco, Beck,George Thorogood and The Destroyers,Santana, willie nelson. Mark Knopfler said " he was one of biggest influences with the tulsa sound and it can be heard all through out the dire straits album brothers in arms. even Niel Young covered his music and had this to say of JJ "Of all the players I ever heard, it's gotta be [Jimi] Hendrix and J. J. Cale who are the best electric guitar players"
Brian Setzer is such an amazing guitarist, musician & songwriter! Wow! Can't wait to see him live!
I'd love to hear Brian do a classic Jazz standars recording. Also Brian and Pat Metheny together would be awesome!
Back in the day I saw him twice when he was with the Stray Cats. One of the best living stringman. Just improves with age.
Who are the eight who dislike this ??? Unbelievable...
Thanks for this precious share, really !!
No matter what style of music Brian plays,, he put his own mark on it and makes it uniquely his. There will always only be one Setzer.
Your right his sound is distinctive.
Brian Setzer is a board certified “chord”-iologist! He is making that L5 sing so sweetly…like Lorraine!
One of the most under rated guitar players.
Not amongst guitar players
@@dougdavis8986 it’s all subjective
@@ethankli : no. All guitar players that follow guitar know that Setzer is excellent.
@@dougdavis8986 i think you misunderstand what i was saying
So he got 204 thumbs down.....from totally clueless observers......this was a real treat to see him play and sing .....he seems so at ease playing standards...... he's a phenomenal guitar player...... thanks for sharing
maybe the guitar got the thumbs down it's very bright unplugged would have sounded good plugged in.
People are knobs.
All dislikes are from pissed off Justin Bieber fans and confused Miley Cyrus fans.
Instead of criticizing those that disagree...why not ignore the thumbs down? Assuming the thumbs down are not the work of those contests to see how many thumbs down you can give in 24 hours.
Legends say he actually used the same chord twice in one song one time
One of the Greatest Big Band Leaders and Showman , When I was a teen in the 80s I thought the Stray Cats were a flash in the pan , one hit wonder......I'm 53 now and still Amazed by Brian Setzer ..............
I have always loved Brian Setzers guitar playing.
Just a true pleasure to watch him play so masterfully and careful, with that gleam of joy in his eye. The absolute best, and a great person
He and George Harrison are my guitar idols. I saw Brian with the Cats in Jr high and 30 years later as well. I will travel far and wide to see the Stray Cats again.
Thank you very, very much for not just sharing, but for capturing video/audio of such an intimate performance. Brian Setzer is IMHO the most polished guitarist the mass will ever hear in our lifetime. Others are great and have styles that appeal to certain listeners. Brian appeals to ALL listeners because he has fabulous musician skills. He sounds fantastic whether it’s a four piece band or an orchestra accompaniment.
I have always loved Brian's playing , he really , trully is one of the greats . I'm sure that stunning , beautiful sounding guitar is quite pricey for most of us , but damn , it sure sounds good , even being 80 years old . Thank you so much for posting this with Mr. Setzer .
Brian is 64 yrs old not 80
THAT HAPPY OLD GUY SETZER IS AMAZING SEEN HIM AT GUITAR SEMINAR 20 YEARS AGO . WITH THE KISS GUITARIST AND A METAL . GUY . AND SETZER ANOTHER CLASS . IT S BY HIM SELF . I LEARN SO MUCH FROM HIM WHICH IS PRICELESS IN MY LIVE ...BEST TO HIM ALWAYS
Brilliant....... Brian is a very very good player. amazing how he plays all those scales and sings it ... Joe Pass would be smiling too. Great sound from the Gibson L5 . Love to hear Brian play and sing "Caravan"
We love you Brian because you've kept alive "big band swing"...that's America. I've seen your Christmas Special...and it was great. Keep it up!
"once owned by the legendary Hank Garland..." Now played by the legendary Brian Setzer.
That's it!
The guitar is probably going “Finally! Somebody that can play me right!”
He is so knows so much when it comes to guitar and chord voice and changes,love his live nude guitars album it shows how versatile he is.
This guy is far better than any rock guitarist. He is second to none!
Yah Saves
Better, based on entertainment value. Guitar virtuosos are boring to girls.
I want to bring a hot girl on a date where both of us are happy and enjoy ourselves. That’s what music is all about. Celebration of life.
@Yah Saves more than decent be fair! He is gifted.xx
Just like old houses, old cars and old guitars there's something about a time when quality not profit was the name of the game. It must sweet to play and instrument like that.
Brian Setzer is one of my favs and that is a sweeeeet guitar to boot!!!
that's one of the most beautiful instruments I've ever seen
I think Brian Seltzer and Rik Emmett would have some absolutely epic big Jazz Box jams!!
I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM SELTZER . I'M SO GRATEFUL HE'S SO AWESOME..IN MY PRAYER AND THANKS SO BE ON WORDS
Hes still got it! What a master of guitar chord voicing, and those fingers of his rolling and scatting. I still have an unwashed, live signature, with the 'Three blind mice' (the blues trio) I managed in 1989. It was a show in Anaheim Ca. Brian Setzers musicianship will live on , and continuing to inspire for generation after generation after.....
God bless you Brian Setzer.
Kurtiss (Citizen Joe of SoCal)
What a beautiful guitar.
How cool! He must have stopped by before the Ryman gig. He's a class act daddy O.
One of my favorite bands from the 80s. They had the look and the matching tones down to a tee!
Saw him last night in Jax Fla, it's been a tough year and for 2hours I couldn't stop smiling....
Wow! that guitar is over 75 years old and it looks and sounds brand new. Of course, Setzer makes it sing. I'd love to see the price tag on that beauty.
You know that old saying..." If you have to ask, you can't afford it".
@@glenncalzada1707 that was my realization when I used to get the Guitar Center catalogs growing up. I played bass guitar in middle school and always wanted a Rickenbacker 4001 so I could look like Geddy Lee or Cliff Burton. Whenever I got to the bass section and saw it listed with "call for price" I knew it was way out of my price range. It probably still is.
brian is the definition of cool cat. I can't choose whose my favorite guitarist of all time. Ritchie Blackmore, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Brian Setzer

All great players but Brian has such an incredible taste level in music. I think that's what sets him apart.
One of my favorite Jazz songs, played by a great guitarist! Thanks Brian..
song name?
@@ausderscheierei5460 Sweet Lorraine.. (Nat King Cole did a nice version)
I love the relaxed rhythmic drive. Working that thumb. Thanks for sharing!
That comment seems to conjure up all sorts in my mind!xx
I know nothing about guitars, but I sure love Brian Setzer!
Brian Setzer morphs into Django Rhienhardt with brilliant crossover performance skills that make mere guitarists cry
....and want to give up! :'-(
Rick Moore it should be inspiring you not making you want to quit lol
Thanks Mr Carter for this post, 1981 Sydney's Capitol Theatre hot summers night.
The Cats at the top of their game, what a night!
Seeing him perform
L I V E is definitely on my bucket list.🎸
214 thumbs down? That's a hell of a lot of jealousy out there.
Fans of that green haired girl.
Savage jealousy
Australian likes.
How can anyone 🤷🏻♂️

Saw him play at The Palomino 30? yrs ago. Yeah, real deal. Cool records, great style man. Cheers!
This guy just oozes music. One of my favorite guitarists ever
Living in the Twin Cities, I've seen a lot of Brian over the years. It's always joyous.
Lucky you xx
I want this in lesson form!
He makes it look so easy!
Someone else picks up the guitar after Brian and the guitar is like put me down because I’m ruined for anyone else. I hope he bought it. 😀
Class act this fellow...remember back in the day he was 19 and already was a beast...talent.
He had guitar lessons for 8 years I think xx
I had the privilege off seeing the Brian Setzer Orchestra live, and they were extraordinary. I don't have words to convey the power of a Big Band of World Class players pumping through a modern sound system.
If he keeps practicing, he could have a big career ahead of him.
He didn’t waste his guitar lesson money. For sure!
1941 Throwback "Wah !" 😭
@Evan Hodge Roosevelt
@Evan Hodge trump.
Needs to learn a few more chords though......😊
Thank goodness for Brian. That is all.
Brian is great such an innovator- I’m still waiting to see him in person 👏
So I'm admiring Brian's playing when my eyes wander to the extreme left and see ... A WASHBURN BELL GUITAR?! I would LUV to get my hands on one! Not to mention the extra-deep parlor guitar next to it!
Brian Setzer is a GOD!!!
He's one of a kind
Taken out of context. Sounds like semantics but use a small g for god. When raving fans used to scream Elvis is the King. He replied, "There's only one true King and that's Jesus Christ"
Yup, God with a capital G means only one. With a small g it refers to non existant beings.
@@pumasgoya Wrong, Grammar Nazi!
Brian Setzer is awesome!
....nothing bad you can say about Brian Setzer .....great guitar player. .....tasteful .....great Sinatra like vocals .....and jst genuinely nice and classy .....hello Brian .....cheers from Mark "
Agree
Unsung hero of the last 40 years. Amazing live performer.
I love that pre rock and roll era guitar. And the way Brian plays it, just proves that it was an underrated era in guitar. I love that pick to thumbs switch that he's pulling off for this picking hand. that's a very cool technique. You can definitely hear in the Dynamics. Brian is one of my all-time favorite guitar players. right up there with Chet Atkins. very cool!
His version of Sleep Walk is my favorite with Danny Gatton’s right behind it.
Beautiful..
..and on a Blonde that once belonged to Hank Garland!??
Unreal man..
Just too cool for words..
The real stuff isn't dead after all.
A very underated guitar player. One of the bests in my book
Great to him kicking back and enjoying the song, the guitar is almost incidental what an organic musician. - cheers for the upload fae Bonnie Scotland.
That's dedication and practice... You don't wake up with that...
One of the best guitar players in the world, a credit to the strings
He's ok...but "best in the world".....not really.
he's certainly one of the better crossover jazz/rock/rockabilly guitarists in the world... name 9 better guitarists who play his style.
I thought Stray Cats. But he's fucking good.
Same guy Absent (= God bless you all in The Golden Age

This is not just talent. I mean it’s a mega huge load of talent but this is the result of a whole Lotta hard work and love of music. Man this guy cooks. Always been a fan.
I've been playing for three decades and I haven't the faintest idea what he is doing here.
So many harsh critics...the guy is obviously messing around. Wish my noodling sounded that good... :)
haven't read one single criticism about him in the comments section,were are you getting your info from?
