Amazing Steve Morse

[@63terrence]

When I heard about the wrist surgery I still am crying but he is still the best ever

[@JDRichard]

It is sad. I have a hand issue as well

[@marcioaquino5788]

It's not about 'prowess', it's about playing with your soul. One of my favourite guitarists ever. And what a great guy too.

[@t10claytempered16]

Great, and Real. Meeting and speaking with him briefly was a joy. BTW, Rod Morgenstein is the same way. He actually listened to me "wannabe great drummer"-- about his Cymbal choices?! "hey Mike, ya gotta' keep on playing man."

[@МихаПолиграфович]

С ним Дип Перпл получил особенное звучание. Интересно отчего ушёл? Полагаю, стало тесно. Какая бы ни была свобода, но в группе сущест- вуют определённые рамки. Успехов желаю ему.

Absolutely. Met him a couple times. Couldn’t have been a nicer and more humble, down to earth guy. My favorite time was the first time I went to see him play live (in New Haven, CT) back around 1990. I wasn’t yet 21 and the bar wouldn’t let me and my friend in. We had driven over an hour and waited for a couple hours for tix. We were super bummed. Suddenly, Steve came walking down the street with his gig bag (is he EVER without his axe?) and we screwed up the courage to say “hi.” He asked whether we were going to see the show and we briefly explained what happened. Long story short (too late, haha) he tried to talk to the bar manager and get them to give us seats up near him as his “guests.” It didn’t work but, but what a guy! He singed something for us but I gave it to my friend (very regrettably as he lost it, and I’m a way bigger fan.) Also saw him in Nashville, Chattanooga, Illinois, New York, Berklee College of Music (I became a student there and went on to work in the music biz), and tons of other places. Always a super class act, and certianly one of the greatest guitarists to ever live…or at least of our generation. There’s no one else like him. Ps - Troy Grady’s KZbin clip of his interviews and analysis with Steve are a must watch, and IMO his best of all. Here’s the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH3MhKyeoq-Un80si=u7Y0LUSrXCdRV2u9

[@DaoineEile]

What an opinion of idiot. To express one’s soul by playing needs ‘prowess.’ Can you get moved to some performance by a poorly practiced guitarist? Huh.

[@paulbingham_Creative]

Steve Morse! A true innovator on guitar and composing such great instrumentals. I saw him a few years back and he and his band were awesome. I sure do miss him in Deep Purple as well. Keep giving us great music! 🎸 🔥

[@Sonny-yc3jb]

Absolutely incredible guitarist and also such a kind and humble human being, I met him on a deep purple tour about 10 years ago after a gig and told him I saw them on their last tour aswell and he said 'oh we are much better now' and saying it like he had just done a gig in a small theatre with a high school band and not a stadium with deep purple and twenty thousand people in the audience with not one person not singing every word and cheering until they lose their voice. Truly an inspiration as a musician and such an admirable, genuine and kind person as a whole. A very underrated guitarist for sure, the world needs more people as nice and down to earth as this incredible man

[@JDRichard]

The very best are always very humble, which I find amazing as they likely don’t think they’re the very best. Thank you very much for your detail comment. I’m actually glad that I put this up so other people could enjoy the music of Steve.

[@glauciodon.campelo8967]

Yes, people sure ought to know and check more about The Dixie Dregs (aka The Dregs). Steve's 1st band from late 70's had an innovative mix of progrock with traditional american rhythms (rootie jazz-n'-country styles), with splendid results. Definitely a must-listen band.

[@DAHW7584]

I actually didn’t realize how well he played. Back when I was younger, I used to buy his solo DVDs.

[@kenhoward3512]

Wow, what a treat! I was a Dregs fan in the '80s, and love his "High Tension Wires" and "Industry Standard" albums.

As far as I’m concerned, Steve’s music-whether The Dixie Dregs, The Dregs, Steve Morse Band, or solo-is a genre unto itself! He’s combined a unique set of musical influences that no one else has. Can’t express how important he’s been to my musical experience in this life. And…please go watch the original interview of Steve by Rick Beato: it’s wonderful…!! 🤘🏻 🎸 🤘🏻

"Amazing" fits Steve well. He does a lot of technical things better than most really good guitarists. His compositions are always lush soundscapes with great turns of phrasing and yet the core elements remain recognizable and likeable.

Steve’s pure musicality is absolutely astonishing! From the Dregs forward, he’s never stopped amazing me!

[@privateer0561]

Going to see Steve in two days on what might be his final tour with the Dregs. Can't wait. Steve gives a master class here in guitar technique and control. In addition to his masterful use of fingerstyle, alternate picking, and artificial harmonics, he switches pickups endlessly (5 different settings) to serve the tones he wants while manipulating two delay pedals and a pedal for synthesizer set on an orchestral patch. Both hands, both feet working to serve the music. Rick can't hide his admiration for the man.

[@JDRichard]

Amazing. Enjoy the show. He is a master

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

I met him the first time I saw him play in March of 1979. Couldn't believe how nice he was to a group of us (bunch of us around 15). It inspired me enough to pretty much start playing within that week. Probably saw the Dregs back then around 30 times, and seen him plenty of times since. He's the best overall guitarist I've ever seen. I used to chuckle at the Purple fans who always said Blackmore was better. While Blackmore is great (another of my influences), all I would have to say is "Let's see Blackmore play this." Nope.

[@JDRichard]

This also caused me to focus more in my guitar back in 79 while I was in university. And this is me now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnywe4ymlKd4Y5Ifeature=shared

[@oliverstark434]

Again it shows: There is not one right technique. When he plays fast, it comes from the arms, a no-go when you ask the average guitar teacher. But when you listen to Steve it is just right.

[@JDRichard]

Just a different technique to adapt to his medical issue. You do have to use your arm if you want to really do fast alternate picking.

[@2hi2dye]

Wow he's still playing that same guitar from the old Hot Licks or whatever videos they were back in the 90's on VHS

Somethings changed with his speed picking. I'm almost positive he used to speed pick completely from the wrist. You can see him doing it in his old videos. Now he seems to be generating speed from the elbow with the whole arm now rather than the wrist. I think I saw him wearing a wrist brace on his picking hand a while back. I wonder if he had carpal tunnel issues like I had and had to adjust his technique.

[@JDRichard]

@@isaacj6212 He does have an ailment that causes pain when he moves his wrist, so he adapted his picking technique

[@isaacj6212]

@@JDRichard thanks for verifying. It's been a while since I've seen his older stuff but I'm positive he used to speed pick from the wrist exclusively. In fact, it was always quite a sight to behold. It looked almost unnatural but damn was it effective.

[@JDRichard]

@@isaacj6212 I know, I’m back in the day. I was told that if I really want to do quick picking I use more of my arm less of my wrist. not a fast guitar player by any means, but I can see the problem if you’ve got any arthritis in your wrist would be very painful to play.
