Captain Meets Blues Guitarist Laurence Jones

[@cheyenne5523]

Man the captains playing is getting better everyday. Really enjoying it!

[@simonlawson1024]

Laurence Jones absolutely kills it live. Go see. Superb

[@diatonicdude5290]

What a nice guy! Great guitarist, and the sort of guy that youngsters can look up to and keep the blues alive. Good for you mate!

[@trollfiddler]

Another vote to get Dave Simpson on :)

[@awesomfog345]

Amazing to see a family friend and my guitar teacher of three years on this channel!

[@faautobahna9416]

Very impressed by Laurence Jones. Came across him on internet a week back, he is superb.

[@error8418]

Such an underrated musician...and a really nice guy as well. I had the opportunity to talk to him after a club gig last year. He played an amazing show, even though barley 50 people had shown up.

[@JourneymanActor]

Captain kept up nicely with him. Nice kid, nice sound.

[@jamesmiller4333]

Lee you sounded amazing thank you for playing for us! You guys Rock!

[@tomyg2766]

Laurence Jones is a brilliant blues guitarist and fantastic showman, thanks for the video

[@SuperReasonable]

Great to see a wonderful new British blues guitarist in the traditional sense. I love this guys guitar and talent...

[@andrewcrawley285]

"I can only play like me" Proceeds to play SRV/Albert King/Clapton licks 😆

[@hjelpinternet]

Hey guys just spreading the word of the incredible wholesome community that is Dave Simpson’s comment section. Have a wonderful day

[@j.rozman7016]

wauuuu....I met Jones 3 years ago after amazing gig in Ljubljana (Slovenia). Such talented player and very nice young man. He is keeping blues alive in Europe! (I like the looks&sound of his vintage strat he bought recently in Denmark)

[@Rockerrobin]

Hey Lee you should get Dave Simpson on the show some time😃

What a thoroughly lovely bloke and what a guitarist. Really enjoyed this one - thanks

[@darrenc8776]

Not heard of Laurence. But I'll be checking him out now. Thanks guys

[@chrisloughney8292]

Lee is nailing it more and more his timing particularly has improved enormously in the last year!! Very Cool.

[@MattyK-USA]

That outro jam! 👍👌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸 Lee was killin' it too. I can really hear some Buddy Guy influences in Laurence's playing. And that's a beautiful thing.

[@chrisloughney8292]

.....should have added below we've checked out Laurence at Sheffield Blues and Rambling Man in recent years.....brilliant !! There is more to come from him I'm sure, beautiful player and singer!,,

[@grahamjonescyclingasia]

Really nice interview, hadn't heard of him but will check him out.

[@jakobmorningstar]

That was an awesome jam at the end, the captain really dug into it

[@alexreay4164]

Another vote for Dave Simpson, he's cosmic

[@johnwust9230]

Saw my Jones at the Borderline in London last year, what a fantastic show, really good band too.

[@jamesmiller4333]

I so enjoyed this vlog. Lee you are a superb interviewer and Lawrence Jones is a new to me Artist. I love his story and his tenacity to pursue his career in music. He is an Amazing player and has a wonderful voice to match. I hope he makes it to the states sometime soon! Peace and Love!

[@drjazz7278]

great choice of interview .. great young player

[@thehowlingterror]

His Dad is the hero....

[@TheStratfanatic]

Outstanding...Lee get his grind on

[@porkchopsrv]

I've studied to play the Blues for 23 yrs or so and never heard of Laurence Jones. Thanks for having him on Captain, he's a true Bluesman talent. I hear a little Johnny Lang in his voice in this lil diddy though not a screamer like Johnny. I'll be checking Laurence out now. Thanks for what you do, great video here! Oh btw, I've got a 90's original Blues-Deville, awesome amps!

[@robertwellington2616]

porkchopsrv just saw this. There’s a lot of new guys on the scene. But Jonny seems to have been overlooked since he grew up. He can blow anybody off the stage if he wants. He’s changed his style a bit. I kindve miss his earlier straight, searing blues but check this out hold on brb. Here you go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2XRY2eBp8xqgsU

[@Doug5524]

Great interview Lee, never heard of this guy, Just flipped to hear his music just fantastic now off to download his music

Wow! The Captain has never heard of The Groundhogs. Split, Thank Christ for the Bomb are superb albums.

[@KevinRibelMusic]

Awesome!!! Been waiting for this one!

[@emdiar6588]

YAY!!! Shout out to the Ozrics! Your dad has taste.

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Great stuff! :)

[@AndrewKaczynski]

please make The Captain Meets series into a podcast

[@davegetsspam]

So I had to start watching Laurence Jones clips and there he is with Samantha fish..who I only heard about this year. I would love to see her interviewed

[@marknorris3769]

[@nicwilson89]

Absolutely no idea who this guy is, but I'm going to find out now. Great interview.

[@39MercFlathead]

I had never heard Laurence Jones before. Nice tone and he seems to be a decent young man. As an aside, how about The Captain Meets Tal Wilkenfeld?

[@stephenturner8102]

Lee your a natural at interviewing very natural. Please get Alan Nimmo' Stevie Nimmo and Ainsley Lister.

[@bazjackson2935]

Deffo Aynsley! 🎸🔥🔥🔥

[@theshit1209]

what octave pedal is it?

[@mikehardwick4909]

I would pay to download the outro jam!!!!

[@jasonstone8587]

How about getting Phil Hilborne on.....remember him...great guitar player....he used to do the A/Z of guitar riffs for GT magazine...early days of the magazine....you've already had Guthrie Govan on...he used to work for the Magazine too....learnt so much from those to guys....so please please please try and get Phil Hilborne on....great Vids as usual....

[@208414]

Lee can keep up pretty well these days!

[@hoboroadie]

Don't worry, we can do any geeking out that may be required. Dig that "Signature" cabinet. 😸

[@PedalScience]

Is he using the Dunlop mini wah?

[@AndrewMooreLearningLicks]

Awesome guy LJ, get Dave Kilminster on he is a Killer Guitar Player

[@traderpapertiga]

Yamaha Pacifica 612 FM or a Strat ?

[@taylorrooke2582]

The Captain meets Hozier....🙏🏻

[@ARPMAN]

Why don’t you give us his gear list on your store? #recommendation

[@fishcakes1621]

Perhaps invite Mark Owers from Danze Macabre? Seriously good player.

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

Hey Lee! Any chance of getting Ellie Rowsell from Wolf Alice on? It would be nice to see a female player a bit more often.

[@Rostontn]

That tone. Slide with no slide. How you do?

[@TheDB11011]

Roston Willis It would be better hearing it from the man himself but it sounds like a combination of an octave fuzz and playing with fingers rather than a pick. Hope this helps.

[@randygeist666]

KOT is not based on a TS

[@777Yoni]

Was it from a Marshall pedal?

[@randygeist666]

Yes, The Bluesbreaker

[@777Yoni]

@@randygeist666 Thanks. Ironically, I just ordered mine. My name came up on the waiting list about six months ago, but I just pulled the trigger this week. I guess I'll see what all the hype is about.

[@youbi179]

The KOT uses the same chip as a TS, but the circuits are different. That is what is causing the confusion. TPS did an episode on it.

JOHN. MAYER. COME ONNN

[@hectorjayala]

CAPTAIN! METRONOME is your FRIEND.

[@Nikoo033]

I like what Laurence does. But I think it’s difficult to reconcile the reason for why he likes his fender strat (history, used feel) and doesn’t like PRS guitars (feels too modern) with his statement that he likes tone. I thought that this particular strat on clean sounded quite dry compared to some other strats we’ve heard on the channel. Also even after tuning it, some strings were still out of tune. I personally only like the semi hollows and 594 of PRS guitars. One might not like PRS tones, but those guitars they stay in tune, which is good for tone...

[@Finnvbot]

It's not real blues if it's in tune, man. ;) We all know that any improvements to the design of electric guitar kills the vibe and authenticity. So does playing something else than regurgitated pentatonic licks all day...

[@jasonstone8587]

At 30.10 his tone sound really good...maybe it's the Octavier...they sound good in a full mix ...but not on there own...so I'll take that back about the goose in the fog....

[@andreas-xd7pb]

Does he djent?

[@meadish]

He does a sweet djentrified version of Darude - Sandstorm mashed-up with Smoke on the Water, and throws in the Licc on his tonewood guitar with P-90s, as a homage to Little Wayne.

Captain meets Rabea?

[@geemac7267]

I don't know what it is, but when I see someone playing without a pick, to me it's the visual equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard. I know, I'm twisted.

[@Josh-iw2kw]

Innit

[@jasonstone8587]

I do hope that's not his live tone.....I hate to say bad things about Muscians it's hard enough as it is...but that tone....it sounds like he's using some sort of Fuzz. ..the kind of Fuzz that on dying battery mode....I will have to find his music on KZbin....everyone deserves a chance....he's very young too....looks like a young Clapton....

[@sam127001]

his tone reminds me quite a bit of Ry Cooder's ( which i really like)

[@boudicawasnotreallyallthat1020]

Guitar is increasingly an anachronistic art form. Can't imagine many kids will be picking up guitars in 20 years time. Sad but true.

[@joerobinson6199]

Boudicawasnotreallyallthat Smith hopefully that’s not true. What will they play? A turntable? It will always be the coolest instrument around. I don’t think guitar will ever die.

[@boudicawasnotreallyallthat1020]

@@joerobinson6199 I don't think they will play anything Joe. Electric guitar music will be as niche as any other form of classical. Which is what we are dealing with basically. How will Clapton, Hendrix at al be viewed in 20 years? In the same way we view Mozart etc I would suggest. It's sad, because guitar music was the great joy of my youth, but it is what it is.

[@jasonstone8587]

I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of that tone....sounds like a goose farting in the fog....

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

Agreed!

[@michaelschmutz8169]

I agree for the video. However, live he's got a tone to die for. I don't know if it's a recording issue here, but live with the deville, he sounds sooo good. Just saw him yesterday for the 2nd time. Absolutely mindblowing show!

[@jasonstone8587]

@@michaelschmutz8169 I think he used the Octavier pedal in the jam with Lee at the very beginning of the video....personally I don't think they sound as good on there own ....better in a full mix...

Because he owns a music store... A suit and tie would put off some of his customers now wouldn't it?
