Kenny's tone is pure srv. Amazing

[@alabama1974]

yep, I wonder if he plays on same .013s gauge strings?

[@andym28]

+alabama1974 doesn't sound like it. I don't blame him though.

[@lesheathjr4494]

Stevie was Kenny's idol, there are several pictures of him backstage at Stevie's shows

[@donniebeadles7842]

@@alabama1974 he was playing 12s last time I read

[@guitarheroguy5]

Technically, if it's Stevie's tone that Kenny is playing spot on, then Kenny is just playing Albert King, because that's what SRV did his whole life. He played Albert King and Jimi Hendrix and did what Buddy Guy was trying to do.

[@YogsenForfoth]

What an amazing tribute to SRV. Hearing Kenny Wayne Shepherd channeling Stevie was so mesmerizing. Austin, Texas runs deep. REAL deep!

[@srvjediknightsrv750]

These guys are incredible ....miss you STEVIE :(

[@BC99]

Great tribute. It is really saying something when greats like Buddy Guy and Willie Nelson come out for a younger musician.

[@gmandersonjr]

Shepard is one of the few guys that even approaches the intensity that Stevie possessed on the axe. The technique is pretty good too

[@donnaschmidt2597]

My heart will always dwell in Texas (as much as I hate the heat) with all that wonderful music and BBQ. I miss you.

[@spwb2k]

the more all these guys swing their axes in tribute to SRV the more it makes me miss him.

[@mooredrywall]

I shed a few tears !!! RIP SRV!!

[@markmarsh27]

STEVIE RAY WILL NEVER DIE!

[@TheDoReMiFaSolLaTiDo]

Kenny's playing was the best, and I liked Buddy Guy''s singing!

Back after a few years to listen to Lukas play snot out of that jr. What a killer solo.

Hey, first guy that played - SRV called. He wants his guitar style back.

Super ❤️🙏🎸✌️🍀🎼🎵🎶👌🇮🇱

[@rumpledskin7971]

Kenny Wayne Shepherd' started playing at age seven after meeting being "pretty mesmerized" by Stevie Ray Vaughan. No wonder his guitar licks and chops come as close as you can get to the one and only SRV.

[@mdw46]

He's probably the most unrated guitar player around!! Kenny's consistently on the money

[@michaelwangler7509]

Cool...Very Educational & Precisely Informative.😎 😁 GreaT stuff !!! 🐯

[@drewhogue6463]

Vernon Soderquist

what is the exact name or brand of the Lucas Nelson`s hat? is there any specific name for that kind of hat?

[@LouieNeira]

Sorry for the late reply - the style is called a Stetson "fedora" - popular in the 40s, same type Indiana Jones wears.

[@justfine77777]

Micki Free should be up there.

[@conorgreenwood8205]

That's not Mike Farris it Lucas Nelson!

[@mikekavalerchik5226]

Great intro by Kenny. Buddy gives him the cut eye before he starts singing. Not sure why

[@louisgribben2933]

Ginger Baker would have walked off stage had this been a Cream cover... Quickly fell apart after Kenny nailed the intro.

[@jjryan1352]

Awwww. He wasn't so hot at the age of Willie and Buddy are here.

[@noahchasinguitar5831]

I like the guy with the hat and LP… Who’s that?

[@Mr.Cynical92]

Who is the lefty standing next to Kenny Wayne Shepard?

[@RonPower]

rokstr3 Doyle Bramhall II

[@donniebeadles7842]

Doyle Bramhall Sr was the man who wrote House Is Rocking and Change It with Stevie. His son who is on the clip is absolutely undoubtedly one of the best blues rock guitarists alive. He plays in Claptons band along with EC and Derek Trucks. Eric holds his playing in very high regard. Really unique player.

[@baird5776mullet]

Who was the 1st lead guitar player?

[@electric8668]

Eric Gales would smoke everyone of those guitar players. Too bad he wasn't there.

[@DENIEL381]

NOT SURE JAMMING IS ABOUT SMOKING EACH OTHER ERIC IS GOOD BUT AFTER A WHILE TOO MANY NOTES GETS BORING AND OVERDONE, CHEERS.

[@hottubz1965]

Will probably be thrashed for this but, oh well. Have you ever cooked before? Made a classic recipe, but then thought you could make it even better by adding more ingredients, but it ended up detracting from the classic delicious combination? That's kind of how I feel about this performance. Willie & Lyle are fine, in their own context, but to me it seems like adding licorice to this lasagna.

[@hottubz1965]

rikci lindsay I hear you, but actually it was a tribute to 40 years of ACL, and there are a bunch of previous performers who I wouldn't have included in a SRV song. Joan Baez and Nine Inch Nails wouldn't sound good with them either. To each their own, I guess.

[@adamogbe23]

Ya your stupid!!!! That was amazing!!!

[@hottubz1965]

Good zinger, Adam! You think that one up all by yourself?? It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't amazing. There are many, MANY more 'amazing' blues videos out there than this, and a bunch of other ACL guests that might have been better choices. IMHO. Enjoy!

[@homeyginomolly]

hottubz1965 I agree with you re: Willie. His voice just does not mix well with this song and these singers. Alone he is most awesome. I thought Lyle was incredible for the little bit he did.

[@ricksalt6860]

hottubz1965 I'm with you . They could have each soloed for 4 bars being the tempo the song is at .It might have been more refreshing to hear Robert Randolph intro the tune , instead we got sound a-likes attempting the original version. Since SRV's death , I've heard many versions of this all playing like SRV and then this one doing the same thing , zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@fjpcl]

KWS much more SRV than John Mayer !!!

[@jjryan1352]

John Mayer can only play generic blues.

[@Tracer9GTRider8]

Who's the guitar player in the cowboy hat? Nice playing, but I'm not familiar.

[@traumwald75]

I think that's Lucas Nelson

[@Tracer9GTRider8]

kenneth macarthur Thanks!

[@johnod1955]

kenneth macarthur Thanks I was wondering who that was too. Nice playing.

[@nanahaiaustin9885]

They are good! But they ain't StevieThey sound great though.There will never be another Stevie.God rest his soul.Lord but he does sound like Stevie.I think they should have just let him pick alone

[@jillian1713]

Isn't that Lukas Nelson?

[@Brucev7]

He did well

[@thomasjohnson7735]

Jillian MacKenzie On the LP Junior? That was tasty!

[@steveg1185]

It's a blues piece, not an orchestra piece... Not meant to be overplayed by 20 guitarists....

[@jjryan1352]

What an ignorant comment. Orchestras play the same part at the same time. Blues is heavily driven by electric guitar and they just took turns soloing as is the tradition in an unrehearsed collective jam of this sort. Blues musicians can take a 4 minute song and make it 20 minutes no sweat.

[@boogersguy6233]

Will Ferrell?

[@lesheathjr4494]

Why they ever let Willie Nelson on stage for this is way beyond my understanding!

[@robmacmillan7655]

les heath jr because he’s a legendary musician and a rare and unique talent. Maybe he’s lost it just a little bit but that doesn’t detract at all from his credentials, same as buddy guy he’s just a revered hero in music, and also in Texas culture

[@greenl2472]

Buddy is the original BAD ASS if you get chance see him live - Mind Blowing!

[@Slider6294]

Don't blaspheme the man. He (surprisingly) played his role on what was literally an all-star stage. Buddy live, as I write this (and will see in him 3 days for the umpteenth time) is a livewire, as anyone knows. He was subtle here by design.

[@johnqwerty7396]

Nelsons don't belong on that stage
