Your gig in Cardiff Wales a few years back is one that I'll remember forever. Stunning. Fantastic to see you on this format and on your own terms.

[@Alabama8]

Man, it's so encouraging to hear someone I'm so in awe of say "I can't do it like him" and know it's not just me; we all feel like that. Thanks, man. Love this.

[@rinosphere]

Man, you got a lock on that playing style. Awesome. And -- there's something wonderful about a non-Strat-sounding Strat. That thing sounds like the 50s.

[@kirk-b-patrick]

Dude, I just stumbled across your music this morning. A small set from 6 or 7 years ago. And I was blown away. When you mentioned Nashville, and given your approach to music, I had a feeling you knew Tom Buko. I love that. I'm shocked by your subscription numbers. But then again, it seems like people just want to hear clones of the ghosts of legends past. Unfortunately. Well, I'm glad to be a new follower. Keep killing it!

[@smellytele9629]

Good people recognize good people. Joe obviously saw your kind and talented soul and looked out for you. The one time I was at his shop, he treated me and my pals like were "somebodies" which we certainly are not LOL! Took us on a tour, answered a ton of questions, took pics with us, etc. Top notch fella as far as I'm concerned.

[@philvandel]

Killer man. I own a black 80’s Glaser Strat w/ one of his early B benders in it. What a wonderful guitar. Enjoy that one. The Strats are very rare.

[@apolloguitars]

Some good playin’, son. Those men would be proud.

[@ScottWalker-uw3rp]

Really enjoying these greasy time episodes. Great job JD! Cheers.

[@boco1951]

When you love what you play it shows!

[@tootiegrigio713]

I love when the world finds and takes care of people, especially one I really appreciate! Be well, JD

[@Faded0811]

JD, I appreciate your earnest account of life and the people and art that make it interesting and worthwhile.

[@thomasselmer-olsen6489]

The new Greasy Time is killer JD! Subscribed

[@SoundCastle00]

I could listen to your thoughts and ideas all day. Thanks JD 🙏

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

You are so unique in this crowded game! Your playing in so funky.. it just gets me jamming along... faking it until suddenly I get one or 2 notes sounding right. haha! Thanks

[@wolfcreeksoundlab4984]

We are glad you jumped on the train that is KZbin. I will be watching ya, big fan…

[@toploadtele]

5-Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jonathanorleyi6600]

Nice bit of RL Burnside in the beginning! Also saw your cover of 'Walk On By' today and your singing gave me the cold chills, so good!

[@davidpepper442]

Have a safe journey and a blast at the gig JD! Looking forward to some video from the fest.

[@arnaupericas8626]

You are the man J.D! Much love from Barcelona ✌

[@dwaynejessome1728]

What a cool bookend video to Uncle Larry's Joe Glaser vid. Also enjoy the travels - I think Duane Betts' new album is one of the best of 2023

[@Mikeys_garage_mods]

You're a humble gent! Love ya JD!

[@etrecords4043]

What up JD?? Yeah I think Blackmore has done that for years too if I remember right. The 2 pickup strat but he has either disconnected the middle pickup or has a dummy coil in there with a 3 position switch.

[@Blues40]

You’re awesome man. Love you JD!

[@DS-nw4eq]

Phhhew! That opening riff. Lots of fun

[@lewisgeyer1440]

Fender, or anyone, should release that exact guitar tomorrow.

[@donaldryder5534]

Deep knowledge thanks for sharing!

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

You make that Strat sound real funky JD ✊🏼

[@SeanAllocca]

I hope you come to Europe sometime, would love to see you play live.

[@hangingchad_]

I'm guessing you meant Fiesta Red? Definitely doesn't look like Dakota... But either way, that's such a cool Glaser Strat. I love Ellis 64s, too. I've been wanting to try the 54s or 57s. Love ya, JD!

[@riniones]

sounds great, JD

[@johnanderson27]

I love that magic Sam groove at the end

[@ccaputa]

Joe and his team have worked on all of my guitars and they are awesome. I built my own Tele this year with Ron Ellis pick ups. I had Glaser's scan and Plek the neck, and it plays so sweet!

[@scottwilliamson5040]

Love that groove JD Look forward to seeing you at the Zoo Bar in Lincoln Ne

[@BobEstremera]

Love that Hill Country stuff.

[@JaoART1]

Hello JD SIMO! From Russia with love!)

[@larikamux4419]

It's the same one that was in Buddy challenge

[@josephperrigo7008]

Great stuff man👍🏻

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I saw you with Don in '08 when my little band was in Nashville doing some recording in Berry Hill.

[@andrewboore3899]

JD is looking alot healthier Sounding killer as always!

[@heres_johnny9151]

Digging the tone JD

[@Foofang65]

Have fun ✌️

[@EJ_Crough]

love that hill blues boogey!

[@cgavin1]

Great stuff. How about some love for Cousin Earl (Zebedee Hooker)? 2 Bugs and a Roach. Man, Wah Wah Blues made me want to learn guitar. 🤣I didn't know what that sound was but I was definitely going to need to have one.

[@megawattblue]

Sounds great, JD! Magic Sam could do the boogie thing for sure. Knock 'em dead at horseshoe fest!

[@jcrossley3]

that neck sounds like hound dog taylor!

[@oaeoeaoRust]

So, is the Glaser Strat tuned to Open D with a capo at third fret? Anyone?

[@stratchoker8765]

👍

[@stevenbeecheymusic]

Yeehaw

[@jeffmcleod2855]

Is that a short scale neck? Like Gibson scale? It looks short.

[@dennisdavis6960]

Why do men say other men are sweet? Why not say he's kind, he's my friend, what a great bud, one of the best, but sweet.😢

[@davidcohen2047]

what are you some kind of homophobe boy? JD is describing what a nice guy Joe Glaser is- nothing more nothing less. Sweet is perfectly applicable here. Piss off, loser.

[@edisonkillingelephants]

Imagine having a video of one of the best guitar players in the world playing in front of you might I remind you he does not need to make these videos and the one thing you pick apart about it is him using the term sweet to describe another human being he loves and or respects what kind of world am I living in please remind me!
