If you did not get to see Unknown Hinson live then you missed one of the greatest guitar pickers on this planet!

He doesnt play anymore?

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

@@thedukeofswellington1827 He torpedoed his career by saying some pretty shitty things on Twitter a few years ago. Too bad, because he is a ripping player and a really nice guy in person. Methinks he was battling alky-hall and got online on a bender.

It's hard to play Hendrix songs well, but holy crap: Doing Voodoo Chile on a Rickenbacker 620 is like some kind of sick Evel Knievel stunt.

[@nickshaw6085]

Yeah, he fuckin' landed it too!

[@michaelhenderson5074]

Lol @Rickenbacker 620. Great cleans, but pedaled up with some fuzz and OD, Evil Knievel indeed, lol. Looks like stock nickel covers, but who knows what is under them?

[@scandallpower]

Big time

[@curtisyastic4130]

Hendrix may have made the song, but Stevie ray fuckin played the song

[@markhamblin8194]

Not to mention he did it without a wawa pedal that's almost sacrilegious

I never thought I'd ever see Voodoo Child played on a Rickenbacker. Rock on, Wellknown Hinson ;)_~~ ~

[@VincentBasso-ix1zv]

me niether. After this, I understand why. With all respect sounds like Daze and Confused

[@punisherthunder]

Saw him live. UH is a very underrated guitar player. He can shred with the best of them.

[@angsta22]

Ya, I'd bet Jimi himself would say ya.

[@maceomaceo11]

Not underrated to professionals. Every time he played Nashville, sold out with every hot shot player in town and every other player on down the line.

[@commandernelson1584]

The character belies the man. He was a music teacher and a musician he knows a thing or two.

[@gutbucket260]

And on a damn Rick, too.

Saw him in K.C. he's a bad MFer

[@danielkennedy1778]

[@oddmaddox]

​@@golfcoursemanager33@jr2904 y'all don't get it. That's an old Unknown joke from years ago where he says anybody can play rock, but it takes real talent to play Country and Western. "A damn fifteen year old punk can play that mess."

[@bs27v1b]

I saw Unknown Hinson play with the Reverend Horton Heat at 1st ave in Minneapolis a few years ago. He didn't open for the Rev. he played with them. He will blow you and the Reverend away. Many many years of playing live music and pure talent on display. Just an all around great show. For some reason The Reverend Horton Heat finds really great people to play with.

[@jeffdubberly1383]

Never seen Hinson, but I finally got a chance a few years back to see Rev. So so good! I bet it was a trip to see and hear them play together!

[@Rolexpert]

Come on man he is one of the FINEST country western troubadours left ...SON ..😂

[@Drjackdempsey9644]

Blow the Reverend away? I love Unknown Hinson, but you obviously don’t know how good Jim Heath is on guitar

[@bs27v1b]

God he's getting a GREAT sound out of that Rick! Hinson can play ANYTHING, it seems. I love his quirky country, but it's good to hear him open up once in awhile. Talkin' about shredding it!

I've seen him 3 times in 15 years with his band, but now he's been doing sideman duty for others, most recently in Billy Bob Tornton's BoxMasters. I've been doing sound for 30 years (including one of Thornton's hero's) and with players like this, I'd work that tour in a heartbeat!

[@stillbill6408]

Rickenbacker 620's have a phenomenal tone (especially through a Vox valve amp) which are overly stereotyped as a "one trick pony"/rhythm guitar (only) and under utilized as a lead/shred guitar IMHO. This video says it all.
