I have listened to and played blues for 40 years. This guy is a blues icon in the making. He's got the soul, the chops, the voice, the humility and the back story. No doubt.

[@christopherschlacter4953]

Absolutely.

[@roberthadam548]

I totally agree with everything you said Steve . He could be the next BB King. 🤙🏿🤟

[@aljoseph5705]

I just watched his show at Horseshoe Tavern Toronto. my brain is still under siege. I am completely blown away, the last time anyone blew my mind this much the first time seeing someone was in 1983 at the El Mocambo watching SRV + DT. hours later and I am still saying What did I see What was I witnessing. Kingfish is incredible.

[@srv_lenny]

True!

[@hildegerdhaugen7864]

I think it is nice to see a black man with a guitar again, since it looks like every black musical talent goes to rap or R n' B.

It really makes me happy seeing Kingfish play this Michael Burks song like it's an old standard. Because it truly is timeless. When I was in high school I bought Michael Burks' new album "Iron Man" and listened to it on repeat. Not many blues musicians were touring and putting out new albums right then. Michael was my contemporary guitar hero, my favorite working musician. I was pretty broke up about it when he died. It's nice to know that his music will have a lasting legacy and that people are bringing new life and new interpretations to his songs.

Good catch! Guy in charge on continuity is fired lol

[@ricardomartinezxx]

I think someone built that LP style for him, its a custom. I've seen someone make a comment on the Jam in the Van music series, that he was glad to see Kingfish playing his guitar..lol

[@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

That solo popped up my hairs. Long life, success and inner happiness for him

[@marleneslotin105]

'excelsior, singular vocal blue notes & concomitant instrumentals'! M.Slotin 2023 Montréal

[@MikeCinner]

He’s carrying the torch. BB King and the others would be proud.

[@559makavelidisciple5]

Greatest guitarist I've heard in my 32 of living. I'm not talking about blues,metal or any other genre I'm talking about pure guitarist. This guy can play whatever he chooses to play and he'll be miles ahead of the competition. I've never gotten goosebumps the way I do when I hear this man play. I've listened to all the great guitarists of the last 60 years and this guy surpasses them all by a long shot.

you need to listen to michael burks who wrote this song.

[@ronaldpigford4497]

this man is probily next to Jimi Hendrics

[@Zadesniper]

We need more parents popping out babies like him and show them the ways of the blues

[@juicyyy5765]

Underrated comment

[@CortEvens-pn2gn]

It is so great to see a young black man get into this music. Clearly he has great taste in music. I can't wait to go see him live along with Blackberry Smoke

[@8sun52]

Jontavious Willis. Keeping the Blues alive too. Outrageous.

[@haydenmorehouse4864]

Look at the looks of pure joy and discovery on each member of the audience's face! I haven't seen that since the greats performed. This kid is going to be a household name one day 👐🏻

[@wecandobetter9821]

I’ve been blessed to see some of the great blues men ever, SRV, BB King, Gary Clark and others. This kid going places🥰✌️

[@itsallalie8938]

Stop lying dead internet theory

[@joenathan7392]

The guitar gods weep. Anyone else get prince vibes?

[@dantekosela]

for sure! kingfish is an absolute beast

[@IntelInside2020]

100%!

[@manb4war]

I don't know bro...Prince was definitely a beast but Kingfish seems to have a little more in his arsenal.

[@dantekosela]

manb4war Prince was a great composer, and instrumentalist, but as a guitarist, i agree Kingfish has more to offer.

[@SirSwiftusFunkellwerk]

Not Prince but KINGFISH!

[@peopleunite78]

He can easily pass for the son of the late blues guitarist Freddie King, R.I. P.

[@SecretWeapon62578]

I'm a big fan of the late Michael Burks, who wrote this song, and I always thought somebody should cover it. Looks like Kingfish was the perfect artist to do so.

[@jamesbond1231]

Jeff Beck passed away yesterday. Today.. I'm listening to this crying tears of joy because the blues, and guitar is so alive and strong. So glad this young man is carrying this torch. Very grateful for him.

[@beckholland8367]

can we just acknowledge not only his blistering guitar but his angelic voice. its almost like a beautiful argument

[@bkmeahan]

Kingfish has always been amazing on guitar, but the way his voice has matured over the years is just phenomenal. Just his presence on the stage blows me away.

[@4play49]

Seeing him live Saturday london England 🇬🇧 I can't wait

[@BiggKuntryPatriot]

Kid is only 22 years old and as amazing as he is can anyone else imagine what he will be like in 10-20 years? LEGEND

[@dirkmantele5095]

Wow, what a guitar player - natural. I never heard of this guy - now I'll never forget!

[@bobbyterrito8011]

He’s a genius!!! The way he’s mixing scales and modes for dramatic effect is so incredible. I’m getting major Frampton vibes!!! With some Gary Moore and Robin Trower thrown in. But most of all, I hear him!!! He makes that guitar speak!!! That little descending lick at 6:40 seriously gave me goosebumps!!! It was simple, but so tasteful!!!

[@Khaled91]

He knows how to get out of the pentatonic scale...A snippet of a cleaner major sound keeps it interesting...A piece of B flat.. A piece of C like what he did at 6.40 was smooth af. Only criticism from me is that he uses the wah pedal a little too much for my liking...Others may disagree though.

[@83roadstar]

@@Khaled91 I used to use the wah pedal much like Kingfish for a treble booster, then I bought a Fulltone treble booster,now I don't use the wah nearly as much! That was my answer to getting more presence! Cheers

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Lol No blues scale practice more Moore Bs

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Gotta apologize for my critic. Maybe u guys haven't been playing long. Whatever floats

[@bobravenscraft5376]

All scales are intertwined. Don't impress so easily

[@judithgunther2092]

Christone is the real deal, He is truly my favorite blues guitarist musician, A Icon at 21yrs and LEGEND Absolutely i will follow my fav. Blues ❤🎸💙🎶

[@casager]

This young man is about to enter the pantheon of the greats. Please keep it going sir.

[@jamestrupia218]

You rock my man god bless you and your family keep blues coming man love ya

[@st939]

KZbin should add a SUPER LIKE button, this is amazing, way up there with Stevie Ray (RIP).

[@ankitbhagat9331]

I like how there are very few people with their phones in the audience. Most of them are really in the feels and enjoying unlike the gen z with their phones always sticked to their hand

[@kazik3337]

This man destroyed every single part of me with his solo .......... AMAZING 🤘

[@alixgalmar5999]

One of the best guitarist and blues singer.... today God bless you Christone!
