British guitarist reacts to Junior Brown's ONE OF A KIND guitar!

[@stephens9462]

Finally! Junior is probably the most underrated guitar god there is. SRV considered him the best in Austin.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Cool!

[@mandymine4963]

Agree!!!

[@jnauttube]

When you listen to Junior, you can hear his influence on SRV.

[@puppetshow360]

I saw Junior Brown play at a small, 200 capacity club, it was the most amazing show. Also, the loudest show I've ever heard.

[@JB-js4xi]

Agree!!

[@thomasjefferson1457]

Junior Brown is one of the most talented and unique musicians I have ever listened to.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Amen.

[@Fatherflot64]

Absolutely. The last time I saw him I realized that I was witnessing something super-human.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Thanks!

[@killingsworthgc]

Well said

[@DeadlyPlatypus]

I'm glad you did a video on this performance. Using the machine head to detune is SO cool musically AND technically. Doing this, bending out past the nut, and using his finger to pry instead of a whammy bar makes him incredibly fun to watch. He's a true showman. Thanks for highlighting his talent!

[@mikeg4163]

Junior with The Beach Boys as backup singers playing 409.... now that’s awesome

[@fulljump57]

I believe that is his wife playing with him. I love Jr Brown singing "I'm The Highway Patrol" cracks me up.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Yeah!

[@uggligr]

C.S. Lee also mentioned "My Wife Thinks You're Dead". I never saw either one, but this side-splitting comedian is underrated in that field, too. We just saw his guitar work, which speaks for itself, and he is also a top-notch singer.

[@robertesensee3494]

You are correct. That is his wife Tanya Rae. I think they were married in 1988

[@wayneriley7367]

I’ve loved junior for over 20 years, seen him over 6 times. But, I have to say all shows were great; except one. I saw him about 11 years ago in Arlington Texas, and he was not feeling it. Yelled t soneone in the audience and ended the show early. I hated seeing it, but he is human and I would be first in line to see him again

[@wingsofpegasus]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@crowhaven200]

I didn't realize she was his wife. She is a rock for sure. I love them even more now..lol

Always wondered about her, very cool. Never knew that was his wife.

[@uggligr]

Sadly, I'm not surprised at all. Austin is full of super talented musicians who are not paid. You might be surprised to learn that the Vaughn family has almost as much money as W and probably more than (lying) Trump, and if anybody is better than Stevie, or even his brother Jimmy (sure as hell not Jimi) he gets smothered.

[@rayhuntermusic]

Unfortunately a lot of people’s first contact with JR Brown is through the movie soundtrack to Me,Myself,and Irene.

[@kevinloewen6830]

Finally we get to hear Junior. The most underrated guitarist in the world. Great Analysis....Again

[@ecarteringram]

An American treasure. Limitless styles and genres. Combination of corny and hip.

[@SigmaSheepdog]

I saw him in concert once purely by luck. It was in 2000 and while visiting Austin I happened upon an advertisement indicating that he was playing in a park that day. My wife and I decided to go. It was a fantastic concert!

[@stendec-dd3he]

Junior is a monster on the guit steel and his ease and demeanor on his shows makes them a treasure to see. Another great send up from you, Fil. Watching you watch and admire the performers, shows through on your delivery. You've an excellent channel !

[@wingsofpegasus]

Thanks!

[@sammygoodnight]

Early 90s. Every Sunday night at the Continental Club on South Congress in Austin. I was there listening to Junior in spite of the fact I had German class at 8am Monday morning. I never learned much German, btw.

[@crowhaven200]

Thanks for giving Junior some notice. He is a fantastic guitarist and showman. He can really play the blues too. Love Junior Brown.

I’ve come to Jr kind of late, but he’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite guitar players. He is all over that guitar bending, sliding, popping, slapping. He’s quite the player and always surprising. In the middle of a country tune he may break into a rock or reggae riff, whatever. Very original and very innovate. Love his style

I saw his special guitar up close and wow! What an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship. Thank you for this analysis.

Fil!!! My favorite KZbinr! Here I am across the pond Stateside turning a friend onto Junior and here you lay in wait; gotta Love it. Probably about the time this video came out, maybe a year sooner I was lucky to catch him and his band in Amarillo Texas in a small club. I sat probably 10 feet from him just across a small dancefloor the entire show. His vibe is contagious! It's cool how you keep popping up with my favorite acts; I hope all is well in Jolly England brother! ✌️

[@callmejeffbob]

Hey, thanks for doing Jr. Brown. I suggested a few other clips of his a few weeks ago that featured more of his country stuff but this surf medley is great too. He also plays blues like a monster too, channeling Albert King and other greats. He writes hilarious songs too that he sings with a laconic Ernest Tubb- style baritone. Thanks again for your videos.

[@wingsofpegasus]

No problem!

[@ozbluesman]

Wings of Pegasus Fil thanks so much for all these vids. David Grissom from Austin , Texas has a very unique approach- blues, country, rock all fused together giving him a recognisable sound. Check him out. A great player!

[@markkasick]

See Junior in a bar or small venue- he takes no prisoners. Seriously amazing player live. My favorite moment was the encore where he is total rock n' roll mode, crowd is going nuts, you can't hear yourself think. He comes back on stage with the guit-steel over his head like a trophy and does a Mick Jagger impression in a British accent " People....behave". It was awesome. On the original version of Sugarfoot Rag he goes in and out of Hendrix- "Wind Cries Mary" and a riff from Band of Gypsies. Really cool.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Cool!

[@thealleys]

One thing I was surprised the first time I saw Junior Brown live - he was LOUD too. Not used to such clean and loud guitar. He's an amazing player, I think he was using Fender Twins, which are 85 watts. His techniques are a lot more than just shown here. Thanks for putting this one up.

[@wingsofpegasus]

No problem!

[@goodun6081]

I saw Junior play a free show at a casino, and he had a heavy quilt draped over the front of his amplifier, which was actually placed in front of him near the edge of the stage. I'm not sure if he was protecting the audience from excessive volume or preventing the sound from carrying a hundred and fifty yards out over the casino floor. Anyway, he would have been hearing the sound coming off the back side of the speaker cone!

I just saw him live Feb 2, 2020 at the Gruene Dance Hall in Texas. Man has not lost a step, at all.

They do duets with them singing the third and 5th notes of the chord between them so your brain provide the root note of the chord and it sounds like they are singing full chords, not intervals.
