He was my neighbor when I was a little kid. I wish I remembered more about him but my dad said he'd be up literally all night every night running through scales. Imo hes the greatest guitarist alive

[@YMESYDT]

Jimmy is one of the biggest unsung heroes of the guitar imo

[@PFA...]

how the shank did i never know about this dude

[@ryanbenedetti-kp2yx]

The man played with the dead, the Allman's, widespread and John McLaughlin, Derek trucks, legit everyone on the scene today. Legendary.

[@anthonyfesta7010]

I seen Jimmy Herring on John McLaughlin’s, Meeting of The Spirits tour in 2017, Clearwater Florida. Jimmy’s band The Invisible Whip and John’s Fourth Dimension did their own sets then both bands did a full set of Mahavisnu Orchestra’s classics. Both Jimmy and John were on fire that night. 3.5 hour show. It was amazing. But I’ve seen Jimmy many times with Wide Spread Panic. A very well respected guitarist.

[@marcos_c_m]

Glad to see some love for this master of the guitar. Criminally underrated. Deserves much more spotlight.

[@RNFORLAW]

He is SO underrated its criminal. I love Jimmy Herring I know him from playing with the Brothers and WSP.

[@Qwerty12335]

1991, New Orleans in a club called tipatinas, saw Jimmy with col Bruce Hampton. His playing and that of Matt Mundy on mandolin blew my 19 year old mind. And they were just the opening act for a young and hungry Phish. That night was One of the best music experiences I’ve ever had.

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

Good god that show riiiiips. I wasn't there but I've spun both the col Bruce and Phish performances many times

[@JimmyGallowayGuitar]

Saw ARU in 93. Hung out w Jimmy many times. Such a sweet dude and monster player. Been a fan over 30 years

[@tommartling2473]

Burbridge killing on the bass.

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

Unstoppable

[@CompleteProducer84]

Not only can Geddy Lee play bass and sing, he can also play drums too!

[@divotor147]

Had never heard of him before a friend gave me a copy of this Aquarium Rescue Unit show at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival many years ago. Great player! Rest of the band are no slouches either.

[@lukefish7562]

One of the greatest guitar slingers and one of the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. From his time with Col. Bruce and ARU to filling in for Jerry with the Dead when Jerry passed to his time with Widespread Panic he’s easily one of the greatest to do it. AND ITS NOT AN OVER STATEMENT TO SAY HE MIG(T ALSO BE THE NICEST MOST HUMBLE TO EVER DOMIT TOO. LOVE YA Jimmy! Thank you. ❤️🙏🏽

[@ColeHolland]

been digging in to all his stuff lately. so great

[@bgrierofficial]

Just became a Jimmy Hearing fan 🎉

[@msnrc]

I love this bass groove.

[@RickDanner]

hes great man i love his style he just rips !

[@gwlee7]

I also saw him back in the day with Aquarium Rescue Unit. That was quite an interesting band.

[@nev997TT]

Oh yeah, man…Jimmy is a beast! I first got hooked on his Jazz is Dead albums, then the Frogwings album, then all his other work. Such an incredible musician!

[@AVtechpro1]

Awesome, could you transcribe his solo in Aquarian Rescue Unit “ Yield Not”? One of the best solos ever

[@panicmosem5969]

No,Jimmy's the BEST I've seen... hundreds of times 😁 he's an outstanding guitarist and a down to earth guy. He's given panic new life, and he just keeps getting better! 🤘🏼

[@edwardszysorhans573]

Friggin sick

[@jjamesmcguire6343]

Oh yeah, Mr Herring is a serious cat for sure, quite off the deep end of shredding. I first met him when I went to GIT in 85 to 86 and he was only 22 years old. He was one of the top students in the entire school and was asked to be an instructor upon his graduation! Got to see him live 4x.... Twice with Colonel Bruce and twice with Jazz is Dead. And Oteil is definitely one of the top bass players I've ever seen live!

[@jimmyc5498]

Badass

[@Asshat237]

In the early 2000 I go to see the Allman Bros Band with Derek Trucks and Jimmy Herring on guitars. Most people in the audience, incuding myself, had never heard either guy. Needless to say it was fucking shocking.

[@maxwellblakely7952]

He sounds like a teacher of mine. Pretty badass stuff.😊

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Are you/ we're you one of my students' You're the one with the red 58 Epiphone Les Paul?

[@Taylor-kd6lr]

Your transcribing skills are second to none Levi. It’s like you were born to transcribe. Yes Herring is an incredible player. His style is very similar to Morse. He cites Steve as his biggest influence. You can tell if you listen to his early stuff. Fantastic transcription. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LeviClay]

Oh for sure, when you listen to that old Escape from Holywood recording it just sounds like a Dregs tune! Nothing wrong with that, the Dregs are one of the greatest bands ever!

[@Taylor-kd6lr]

Yes Levi. Love the Dregs , and Morse is my favorite player. I remember Steve saying in an interview that if something ever happened to him where was unable to play, he would name Jimmy as his replacement in the Dregs, because Jimmy can play all of his songs, and that he was a top shelf player!

[@bahaakpinar6643]

Love me some Jimmy H. Check him out in Jazz is Dead and The Ringers.

[@jep7080]

A lot of us jam band fans in the 90s knew him but we were kinda all located in the southern USA.

[@Mojolang]

I have heard of him. I got a fever, and the only prescription is more HERRING!

[@michaelturner6150]

Watched this twice at .75 on accident and thought it was normal speed lol

[@bcp5296d]

ARU Jimmy while crushing cigs was just a powerhouse.

[@nagomizik9358]

Dayyyym!🥸😳

[@juancarlosrollan7571]

Serious students of the guitar know Jimmy Herring. He’s one of the few guys to cross genre boundaries the way he does.

[@DonnyOsmosis]

I saw Jimmy a few times at WetlandsNYC back in the 1990s. With Col. Bruce and the Aquarium Rescue Unit. I was certain that he was a hologram (or an alien) and not a real human.

[@GooseGumlizzard]

pretty good

[@funkdatshiz3970]

holds the pick like eddie

[@raleighkathman214]

Yes. The absolute best

[@GeoffreyAnderson2112]

Just gobsmacked.

[@alecdawson1668]

For those who haven't already, check out their album The Calling. I don't think it gets the praise and attention it deserves.

[@michaelschupska2047]

I've been screaming about Jimmy from the mountaintops for years now. Check out Aberdeen for a more melodic/ballad style.

[@randyhetlage9202]

what performance is this from ? pure fire...❤

[@ralphmunn6689]

Well yes I have, and YES HE IS!!!

[@charlieruisseau2476]

ah... the good ol'times of smoking and playing at the same time! I remember that horrible feeling but it looked so cool...

[@cosmiccharly1]

He's on the top of my list next to Warren Haynes of living legends....ARU, Phil and Friends and now Panic

[@ronfender8101]

anyway of getting a backing track for this?

[@J.C...]

Never heard of? Psshhtt. I'm a lifelong Allman Brothers superfan. I've known who Jimmy was for quite a long time. FYI that's Oteil Burbridge, bass player for The Allman Brothers Band, playing bass 🤣

[@vang5982]

proud of you

[@richardfernley5377]

People who know really have heard of him, but great to spread the word. Its crazy to see the list of 'best' guitarists, and not have him or Robin Trower on it. Just shows musical ignorance on different styles.

[@R.to-the.A]

JEEZUZZZ!!!!

[@afonsodeportugal]

Insane! Edit: wait, he holds the pick between his thumb and his middle finger??? 😯

[@LeviClay]

Yep

[@afonsodeportugal]

@@LeviClay Remarkable!

[@mojodojo5533]

So did EVH.

[@afonsodeportugal]

@@mojodojo5533 Nah, he was just giving us the finger! 😜

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

The Other Ones...The Dead....Widespread...Panic...that solo rips!

[@Nick-ey2hu]

Plus the look Otiel has on his face towards the end....knows Jimmy is crushing it

[@Jason-qt8bm]

I'm basically frightened by Col. Bruce Hampton and ARU

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Not just another fish in the guitar player barrel.

[@JohnYeskie-vz3wm]

Is he tuned down half a step

[@chuckpapermaker]

Go to a Widespread Panic show, and watch him shred for 3 hours.

[@PashaKomlyakov]

Wowww! What is a band?

[@SquatchOnTheScene]

Aquarium Rescue Unit! One of the best!

[@maxpower92]

I saw ARU, around 6 years ago, small venue in denver. I guess panic fans don't know who this guy is. It was weird, and smoking

[@adamreaves4228]

Criminally underrated as are most guitarist in the name band community that aren’t Jerry or Trey.

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

I was gonna say not really but then i started to think about which ones i would mean and yeah you're right, pretty much all of them rip and no one really knows about it outside of the jam community

[@GuitarJawn]

Oteil getting down

[@musicproductioncentral4540]

the whole band is just ripping my face off. Jesus...

[@chrispage2782]

“You’ve NEVER heard”?!? LOL….anyone who knows anything about modern guitar not only has HEARD of him, but likely workshops at the JH alter….

[@PhpGtr]

Not only that, but this is probbly the worst version of this band that existed.
