I'd put Eddy Shaver up against anyone picking guitar. He could play it all and rocked rockabilly guitar better then most of the more famous guitar slingers. RIP, you are missed. And so is your papa.

there are a whole lot of top tier guitar players who are extremely thankful eddy had a short life.. he was one of the most symbiotic players you'll ever hear. its disturbing that the community never did any retrospectives about eddy & his talent. its the least they could do in appreciation of the fact that had he lived, we'd have never heard of them..

I saw this same group in a club that holds 200 people in 1995. It was a treat, especially to be right in front of Eddy when he worked magic on that Stratocaster. I’ll never forget it

I saw him once at a Dive bar in the garden ridge area right on the outskirts of San Antonio….What a monster!!!!! It was the funniest thing ever to see Billy flicking him with his bandanna trying to stop Eddy from noodling between songs….

@johnhodge367610 жыл бұрын
Eddy is my all-time guitar hero. I saw him play all around Texas probably 25 times in 80's and 90's, most recently '99. The most creative style and best tone ever to hit my ears, not to mention being a very approachable nice guy. Just a guitar/cable/amp without any effects. It's all in the mind, heart and fingers. To this day I can't pick up a guitar without thinking of him. Hopefully someday in my lifetime Strat players will stop imitating (actually butchering) the great Stevie Ray's licks and tone. Makes me sick. Listen to Eddy and understand what a homegrown innovative style can bring to the game.

Eddy is the 1st guy I ever tried to copy a solo from! From the 1st ACL show, he's always my biggest influence mixing it all up together like a great tone stew!

Thank you for this posting!!!! I feared that there was not any good video of Eddy and his father when they were cooking with gas, but thank God there is. I will never get that tone Eddy had out of my head. Put that with Billy Joe's words and I don 't think there will ever be anything that comes close to it again. I hope one day to meet up with Eddy again. May God rest your soul Eddy Shaver and May God keep Billy Joe strong nit the day he calls him home.

Still trying to transcribe Eddy's parts to this song to sheet music for personal use. Using the studio version & slowing it down but this particular live video helps to fill in parts. It is a wonderful challenge. Such a great song and great guitar work. Way too soon way too soon...
