Christone "Kingfish" Ingram - Hey Joe/Redbone/Old Town Road

Christone "Kingfish" Ingram covers The Leaves/Jimi Hendrix, Childish Gambino, and Lil Nas X as he performs Hey Joe with snippets of Redbone and Old Town Road - live at the Southern Cafe & Music Hall in Charlottesville, VA on 8-31-19

[@Bad__Scooter]

There were maybe 150 people at this show, and now over a million have seen this video. That is absolutely wild to me. I had never filmed at a show before and any audio I had ever tried recording sounded like death. The fact that this came out so well is a miracle. I'm glad so many people have seen this and, in turn, have supported Kingfish's music by buying an album or concert ticket. Be sure to follow him on social media so you can stay up to date on all things 👑🐠

[@southerntrendkiller2632]

@@jaimeastin I find it personally so much better, as far as a listening experience goes, and much more pleasing when you can follow all the instruments at once. That bassist has the magic touch, in the background when he needs to be, and loud and proud when he should be. Tone is amazing, and just sonically in tune. I could listen to that all day. And I mainly listen to METAL. As a guitarist myself I generally don’t focus on the guitar in the song too much, but what’s behind the lead that makes it sound extraordinary.

My guitar teacher told me once that people were not "better" than others, they just practiced more. He was wrong.That was 20 years before this kid was born, and 40 years later, can't even touch this in my wildest dreams. Kingfish has pure innate talent that I'll never have. Every note was perfect. Not just played perfectly, but it was the the note that HAD to come next.

[@evanherb5900]

@@BobMobber Ascribing this guy's skill to some inherent "talent" robs him of any agency in the chops he worked to build. Just because you've played longer doesn't mean you've practiced for more hours or more effectively. The guy worked hard to sound as good as he did - don't take that away from him just to reconcile why you're not as good as you want to be.
