Alex Hutchings '5 Toon Tracks' at JTCGuitar.com

[@berretta9mm17]

In nearly 60 years of playing all kinds of guitars, amps, and styles, I see this young man as the top of the heap of all of the expressive, melodic and versatile (all styles) of the many guitar players I've ever seen, played with or listened to. He's built, clearly, on all that has come before him, and then put his own unique signature on it. Speed, multi-technique, incredible melodic expression, and perfect timing are incredibly difficult to master - most really good guitarists have mastered one, or 2, but VERY, VERY few have mastered all of these things. Fascinating that he tunes his guitar in "straight fourths" - and I can see how this would improve the symmetry of soloing - I'm going to try it. Thanks for posting this. He is just...excellence personified, and elegance of movement in motion.

he showed me that shawn lane plays faster

[@DaveDexterMusic]

@@ВикторДолгашка both unrelated and very possibly untrue, given the stuff I've seen hutchings do

[@standingstone777]

One of the most versatile guitarists on the planet, he's bloody brilliant at everything! And a smashing guy to boot.

[@gitarmats]

The flow of ideas in his improvisation is just so good!

[@witcheryify]

wow such versatility so musical

[@sauerbone5208]

I love this dude! A virtuoso who can shred, but who still puts feeling and restraint in his playing. He doesn't use an Uzi for every measure of the song. The Uzi is there when he needs it though. : )

[@HarryIron]

Absolutely WOW. I can't understand any of the dislikes. Can you do it better???

[@still2weirdfoU]

All of your tones and colors and emotions not to mention the overwhelming technique and skill that is in your playing, I can only wish to achieve anything close to your style. A musical genius. I'm so jealous and so inspired by your work.

[@AllanGildea]

Off the charts. About as phenomenal playing as I have ever heard.

[@godoftone]

This is what is commonly referred to as 'letting your fingers do the talking'. Superb playing and tone.

[@MrPhrygianmaniac]

What a beautiful player

[@shreder89]

this guy is the kind of guitar player we all dream to become: versatile, perfect technique, with loads of knowledge on theory, just boundryless.

[@Tolbiny]

Peerless...the touch and feel is unbelievable. Cannot wait for an album and tour.

[@bingefeller]

Wow! Thanks JTC team and Alex. I just got the free download, I'm going to quit surfing youtube, check out my new Jam track package, and practice. Thanks so much for the free one. This is a great way to let people check out how Jam track central works.Time to break out my Tele, and give that country track a try! I'm excited, almost feels like Christmas!

[@RenRivers]

[@ThiagoBruno86]

Fantástico! Animal...

[@liam_flag]

blues progression is something like: A7 (likes to add the 13 to any A's you see here)) / A7 / D9 / D9 A7 / A7 / E7 / D#dim D9 / D9 / D#dim / D#dim A7 / C#7 / D9 / B7(i like to add the #5) Bmin7 (move the root from 7 - 9 - 10 - 11 each beat) / E9 - E7b9 / E7 A7 / F#7 / B7 / E7 Really not sure what he plays for the C#7 but it sounds to be based around there. Remember this is just a basic structure, Alex uses many embellishments and inversions which are up to the discretion of the player. Criticisms or corrections welcome!

[@guitargarrett1]

That G & L fits him perfectly!

[@jamesaherne2146]

[@LewisCannonMusic]

Alex hutchings may be the greatest guitarist that ever lived - 2013

[@garycoysmith]

The lick at 3:20

[@DistortedV12]

When Hutchings plays blues, I HEAR the blues. These other guys, even famous ones, not so much.

[@YaoEspirito]

Watch Kingfish, though. The real deal.

[@kazicimir]

Bobcat Goldthwait vinegar strokes!

[@nicolasrivera5310]

Mmm does it affect the way he projects his virtuosity? Or is it just your personal appreciation for you liking?

[@creepyarticle]

please please please please tell me what pickups are in that burst strat. perfect tone!

[@TheVintageyear]

i know guitar playing is subjective but i think he's on the same level with Guthrie Govan, i love Alex's bebop lines

[@marcooshio8697]

alex is always best guitarist.....and his face.....motion...

[@MrPerkleton]

Love promo stuff like this. FREE STUFF FOR MY BROKE ASS.

[@mateorabal1779]

[@ВиталийЯныков]

👏

[@judgegroovyman]

Is that G&L Stock? What rig are you running through? (particularly interested in 1st and 3rd clips.

[@Moe-Ama]

thaaat toneeeeeeeeeee ..... fx II ?????????????

[@0710930710]

thá em que tom o blues ?

[@jkdgyhs]

Funk playing like steive vai!

[@MrPhrygianmaniac]

Do I care about what? that he's a brilliant musician ? Of course I do

[@HowardH2008]

I know a lot is made about Guthrie....you know what? Alex's stuff is ALWAYS so choice. I really don't know how you could play better. This guy simply is off the charts! Yet I do think Beyonce made one of the best jamms of ALL TIME!

[@schlepkiss2003]

Nice :)

[@markyboo]

I rate Guthrie and Alex at about the same level. Both are just monsters on the guitar who seem to have no obvious limitations.

[@schlepkiss2003]

Truly gifted. I don't think it can really be 'learned'.
