A lot of so-called Blues fans don't have the mental capacity to understand how great Guy King really is. He is multi-talented, great vocal range, fantastic personality and stage presence. He has a lot of other stylistic influences outside of the Blues genre and is a fantastic live performer and musician. Unlike so many players he is not given to long drawn out self-gratification when he takes a solo and perpetual fretboard acrobatics. He is a classic minimalist who understands phrasing and doesn't overplay every single bar of every damned song. Don't be fooled when he wants to turn loose he can certainly COOK and is able to hang with just about any A class guitarist out there. Everybody forgets that the Legends like B.B, Albert King, Freddie King, T-Bone and the rest were very moderate and knew the economy of balancing the Music and the extended solo's were a product of 60's Rock players like Clapton and Hendrix.

[@BITESIZEJONES]

I think he's fantastic and would love the opportunity to sit in with that cat

[@Jonathan-L]

Yes ... stage prescence is an important part of musicianship ... he can captivate the audience really well. Guy King is a cut above a lot of others, and an example of how he harmonises his vocals with guitar notes at 6:32 ... That's Guy's style ... very few musos do that. Guy is a master of that harmonisation.

[@kiranchamling20]

Only guy from this generation deserves name with those legends is Guy king. It’s his humble nature that he doesn’t try to show off much especially when he plays with other guitarists. I’ve been following him for few years now. Man this guys is something Else.

[@tiluriso]

I say he's more of a Soul-Jazz-Blues player in comparison. That ending coda solo he did at the end was very George Benson-influenced.

[@grahamt33]

TEXASFENDERBENDER - Well, you bloody well got that right, Brother !!!!

[@ArturMenezes]

Natasha, I'm really thankful and so is the blues community for all the work you've been doing! I knew Kirk and Josh from your videos when I was still living in Brazil. Thanks for keeping the blues "LIVE" and alive!

[@1AnitrasDance]

Thanks Artur. Really appreciate hearing that from you. Hoping to see you play again soon

[@PowRKord]

I stumbled upon you < a week ago (a Quist intro of all places.) Thank YOU for giving me faith there actually will be a new generation of players worthy of capture by Natasha's lense. I can rest easier now, knowing the future of blues is just a bit more secure. Keep keeping it real bro; it isn't everyone Guy King bestows turn-around and ending chording secrets & sequences.

[@ArturMenezes]

PowRKord thanks! I appreciate 🙏🏻

[@BobObringer]

Artur, I was front and center on the cruise two years ago when your friend Josh brought you out on stage to jam with them and Davy Knowles. Truly blown away by your playing and really looking forward to seeing you again!

[@frankierodriguez8661]

Artur, I just discovered you. you blew my fucking mind brother. I'm a SG dude too! :-)

[@flowbius]

Thate dude on the bass is just so funky cool.

Damn, this is so fucking great. Art was living deep in that first solo. Pure ear candy and that cheeky chicken thing at 3.53 ... brilliant. Great musicianship all around

[@DaveBluesManFaulkner]

Artur Menezes - great playing - bit Albert Collins in parts - great to see a blues band not trying to be SRV. Respect.

[@bjdee1437]

Artur Menendez, holy shit what a player. Just discovering him. Incredible lick after incredible lick. At 2:47 it blew my mind...what the hell happened? That was a crazy lick...so tasty and nasty. Wonderful phrasing and tone. Awesome players, both. Love Guy King.

[@tomshaug]

Guy riffing so great on that classic Benson play was so fun!

If you like this song, do yourself and check out the Chuck Brown version, it's Awesome

[@zankyalbo2208]

As BB used to say, "Baby, now YOU'VE got me wrapped around your finger and you know what ?" "I like it"

[@bezzarguy]

Pretty cool how Guy's Hebrew accent has morphed into a black//hipster twang.

Too bad he can't make it speak Blues.

Just don´t use it. Some like the added mass efect into the tone. (Yes. They believe it changes)

@@jcsk8 i completely agree, or or or (just a thought) get a les paul or es if you want sustain

@@hughneutron5303 Yes, yes. LP´s are better in sustain, but worst for tired backs. I´m playing more SG nowadays than my LP´s.
