Aaaabsolutely brilliant. I can only imagine what it felt like in the actual room.

[@BobMaulucci]

I will admit, I clicked for the WuTang shirt but then stayed for the virtuosity. Sweet playing.

[@leindevren]

Same!

[@eldiablo3794]

Me too.

[@shamulongashimukowa4129]

[@SuthernZero]

This is even better than the recorded single of heaven... I luv it when a muso comes with a plan like this.... This is straight from Father God. Beautiful👍🙏

[@chrisrussoroos305]

Its so great to see killin guitar in a modern context.

[@DrewElGringasho]

That George Benson influence and technique he has just mixes so well with his own unique vocabulary and touch. Love this guy

[@diogobarbatum]

Discovered by chance here on youtube and I'm in love with this way of making music. it's amazing

[@ESP77769]

That's some of the best playing I've heard lately, and a nice, fresh and different version of "Little Wing" !! Love it!!

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Funny how certain songs are so iconic that it embodies a certain style of playing and groove.

[@earnestjordan3527]

He did not just go into Johnny Guitar Watson TaTa You Solo! Thank You!! Awesome!

Isiah paints colour into sound. Nuff said

[@docb2687]

Sharky's getting badass yo. Dang

[@johnatancampos4937]

Guys, Isaiah is amazing, but it surprised me to discover that the original composition wasn't made by him. Listen to "Tata You Jesus" from "Gospel According to jazz chapter II - Kirk Whalum".

[@RecoveringMusicAddict]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiii god damn

[@mikedav]

Love the Kevin Whalum cover

[@amossingleton7921]

It’s actually a Johnny Guitar Watson song, But Kevin Whalum did cover it as well with his brother Kirk Whalum’s project.

[@timmy2651]

nc reaction👍🏾

[@ijhhcfionlkgs]

3:35 gotta learn that

[@lordvonmanor6915]

I really enjoyed his cover of Johnny Guitar Watson

[@amritjanardhanan]

[@BenjoJams]

Such a beautiful lick, i stole this one and have been using it a ton lol so addicting to listen to!!!

[@bubblehouse544]

I came here for the Wu Tang shirt and got this. Now enjoying major bonus points for optimistic curiosity. Arrived here from a Gary Clark Jr. video. I think I did alright.

[@BenjoJams]

glad you enjoyed!! gotta love Gary Clark Jr. our modern day Albert King

[@easternsunguitarist5791]

Could you please mention tell us the name of the band members?

[@BenjoJams]

i wish i could! i didn’t catch their names unfortunately but they were world class. Sharkey is amazing of course but each of those guys is just as amazing on their instruments!!

[@bayukurniawan3262]

That's Sharkey335, Isaiah Sharkey.

[@harrysearia1784]

Tim Tribbet on Keys

[@BenjoJams]

@@harrysearia1784 thank you!

[@JJJohnsom]

Eric Johnson on drums and Louis Ism on bass and you know Tim the keyboard player and of course Isaiah Sharkey.

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

But can he play ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’?! 😉

[@BenjoJams]

LOL now THESE are the real questions that need to be asked!!

[@ericramey5004]

delay to check tempo. smart man

[@egorerofeev7762]

Some random cheering is ok, but it feels like few audience members were trying really hard to make it about themselves. Like wtf is that "beautiful" during the coda? It's more heckling than anything else at this point.

[@BenjoJams]

feel you on that man, some laughs and some cheers after hot licks and solos are to be expected if the audience is feeling it but yeah the “beautiful” guy was prob a bit much especially during an intimate moment there lol

[@foxybrown2]

what cracks me up is listening to the men sound like girl cheerleaders when they hear someone do a nice lick. It is really bad in the Gospel world of musicians. Just like when Corey Henry is playing. You can't even concentrate on the music without hearing all the ooohs like little girls. It used to be woooooo man that was nice now it is ooooooooohs.🤷🏿‍♂

[@MrJoshDada]

So true 😂 thought it was just me I'll admit when I listen in private I do the same thing

[@broskimedula5300]

That's why you buy the studio recording if you don't want the live experience.

[@BenjoJams]

Lolol was too hard to hold in the giggles with licks like those i guess!

[@stillphil]

On the heels of musicians being fake with the obligatory and insincere "KILLIN'!" "The Whooooo" is a subculture by now...

[@jambajoby32]

@@BenjoJamsFr! It just tickles the soul lmao can’t help but laugh

[@NoName-ql1wk]

He can't sing but he can certainly play.

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

In his defense…when you’re the live guitarist for artists like John Mayer, your time is best spent on guitar playing and backup vocals.

[@mikerobinson9030]

He's in key & that's all that's required to hit this spot

[@TAyesticks86]

You sucks balls 🤡 can you play?
