Jess Lewis ft. Alex Hutchings - Room 335 (Larry Carlton Cover)

[@JTCGuitar]

Check out the first ever Masterclass from Alex Hutchings: bit.ly/AlexHMasterclass

[@HighVybeTribe]

Not to be rude to the original artist but I absolutely love this cover way better than the original

[@Majorkonver]

12 years and i'm still listening to this amazing collab

[@David_Lake]

Seen this when it came live, today I played a line that made me remember a line jess plays, long time i hadnt seen this

[@tomasescalante2493]

i've just Realized that this was uploaded 12 years ago, and I've seen this the first time when still fresh!

[@paullevine1813]

What sets this gal apart from the so-called best girl players is she is never rushes through the song & pays attention to melodics while still letting it rip. No hair toss, look at me shred shred shred with no real feel. She can shred as good as they, but she has feel & technique in droves something i rarely hear in girls her age even if this is an older clip it's still her best & Larry Carlton would be proud. Thanks to Alex for helping her & man what a solo he drops before Jess takes it out. I've been playing since the late sixties & i must admit she is the real deal. Fantastic tones, bends & the cleanest of notes. And here she's only 16, Holy Moly what a pure talent. Great work young lady as is all your shared music. As one guy here says it makes no difference male or female this is about talent & great playing.🎸🎶💎

[@MrMjp58]

She plays this with great restraint, sensitivity, feeling and technique. Fantastic.

[@trice9669]

This is my favorite version of this song. The marriage of the soft, jazzy pop with searing guitar solos was what made yacht rock so fun.

[@stratdave1]

I commented 7 years ago and I still say, WOW!

[@nunulola638]

I've been here for 12 years now! :)

[@emiliobiagini2069]

I love Larry since ever. This interpretation from Jess let me leterally let cry. Almost unpossible to surpass the emotionall feel that Larry put in this piece of song, but Jess in this was able to keep fullyoriginal partiture with her own soul. Greatest interpretation ever

[@loubraga5800]

This girl plays with her soul. A rare gift achieved by few ...

[@chrisyounce1815]

I've heard dozens of covers of Room 335 and you could put a gun to my head and ask, who's verizon do you like the best and I'd say, Jess Lewis. There is so much feeling in her phrasing without over doing anything or trying to put in more notes than it needs. You don't put in ten pounds of sugar when baking a cake just because you can. Jess you get 10 out of 10 in my book.

[@davidosbiston9265]

Guthrie

[@JessCat606]

oh wow, what a gorgeous jam! Jess has one of the smoothest phrasings I've ever heard, simply impeccable.

[@chrissommers805]

I never tire of watching this after 100's of times - such impeccable tone and phrasing. This is a lesson unto itself which incorporates the absolute best of the jazz-rock idiom. Jess has such control over every note. She even adds more microscopically-accurate flavor to each note than Larry did on the original.

[@jalapenojack]

I liked your comment so you can watch this again hehe, enjoy ;)

[@guildbass1234]

Agree!

[@MostLikelyMortal]

Both of 'em never cease to amaze me. Probably the 50th time I came here just to gawk at the phrasing, tone, and pure genius from them. I can't give enough praise for this performance

[@SamCase-ph9kr]

Room 335 and the Carlton touch. SPIRITUAL!!!!!😊

[@Gregorypeckory]

Never mind the fact that Jess is a "one of the great female players", she is simply one of the great players. Close your eyes; you can't hear gender in the music; you just hear great phrasing and tone.

[@socratesandlavagods]

I'd disagree with you, in general, but in this case - yes.

[@bobboberson2024]

Let's not get carried away. Long way to go. But farther down the road than most. Just listen to Hutchings play and you can understand where she stacks at this point. But she's well on her way.

[@xsited1]

I closed my eyes and heard an attack helicopter playing guitar.

[@서간지-e8m]

Greg Vinson hey bro. You know nothing

[@carlosclaptrix]

Right said, Fred, uh, Greg!

[@nirsommer]

12 years later, still just as epic

[@damaster720]

Wow, Alex Hutchings really is underappreciated in this comment section. Thought his solo is actually great.

[@JariSatta]

Yahtzee, awesome

[@soekma_aoeliea]

Maulanna Maryunani totally awesome...

[@OleMartinHelgesen]

He will be touring with Steven Wilson now, really looking forward to the show in February!

[@jokum2019]

Alex is great god too ..

[@ZootaAndrewMahera]

Honestly, the girl sucks

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

Wow! Both great! Saw Larry live @ least twice, listened to him a ton with Steely Dan & his group. Jess really captures Larry's tone, & phrasing, & especially his subtle vibrato at the end of lines! Bravo, y'all, well done!

[@sarahhurst701]

Hellz yess!! I am so down with this right now!! So gorgeous & symphonic!

[@michaelfatino9837]

Jess and Alex you guys need to give us more. To good to stop now. Lots of love Mike

[@MrKennyG57]

Makes me smile every time I hear her play this...wonderful.

[@wilstratmaer7576]

Yeah, this brought tears to my eyes!!! Wow!!!

[@SebastienZunino]

this girl is incredible !

[@deldia]

Virtuoso playing there. I'm not even sure how you make a guitar sound like that. Stunning physical feel.

[@godzillaguy321]

Absolute the best rendition of this classic..Jess you did awesome… 🔥🔥🔥..🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@larssol1]

Very precise and beautiful playing from Jess!

[@lestomoshimasu]

What really blows me away is the way she flows over all the key changes like they weren't there,damn,how does someone so young play like she's been doing it for 50 years.

[@chriswoodley-stewart189]

Amazing. On what planet might wearing the 130 people who gave this the thumbs down? Skill, feel, expression - everything. Congratulations folks.

[@chrisyounce1815]

I agree, I would bet 95% of the people that gave this a thumbs down did it by mistake or are mentally disturbed, not that there's anything wrong with that!

[@TommyGunzzz]

I'm blown away that about endless playing and phrasing

[@Onoins425]

Sometimes you just aren't ready for a track to end. Absolute soulful quality of the highest order ♥️

[@glenncowan6669]

That's one of the best strat tones I've ever heard!! Flawless playing too.

[@laurentcohen9020]

Thank you Jess! You just saved me from a long bad day

[@Alex_Mercy]

You are fantastic! Thanks for all, God bless you!

[@jameswcollett]

This is such a joy - to watch or listen to.

[@shanehill8189]

Great playing all round on one of my favourite compositions.

[@DeanoPiano]

Jess Lewis and Alex Hutchings! wow that was some nicely played and recorded guitar playing indeed, Jess's touch and feel is so f**king good, nice one guys!

[@anthonymicale3989]

This is by far the best version of this song I have ever heard.

[@angturil]

3:45 a phrase from above, god this is pure genius, you both are amazing but no I won't quit guitar now even if I probably should ;)

[@garywebb911]

Noticed there are 264 thumbs down. You poor jealous plebs. One of the best instrumentals ever written played with passion skill technique and more. A kin masterpiece. Superbly well done to both pkayers.

[@robn.7426]

Not sure how I've never seen Jess Lewis before. I love her style. Her use of string sliding and vibrato is excellent. Great stuff.

[@Tadesan]

Jess’ smile at the end is priceless.

[@patheticdrop-9895]

I hope Larry Carlton is seeing this. Magnificent! Everytime someone tells me "my fingers are too short for exceeding at guitar" I show them this. I love the unique precise technique of Jess and the miniscule intonations that only Alex brings into playing so perfectly. Isn't she a student of his? Could hear this all day...

[@h.carter5346]

He has and does not like what he sees here one iota. ( But its okay he doesn't mind)

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

​@h.carter5346 Well, what's HIS problem!? These two are guitar geniuses, & it's a fine tribute to Larry's music! "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery," someone said..

[@YManCyberDude]

I keep coming across this video every now & then over the past couple of years … And every time I do I always have to watch at least once if not twice or more … I think I watched it the day before yesterday & here I am again …

[@YManCyberDude]

And here I am again maybe nearly a year later . . .

[@kajakristoffersen4571]

Love You Jess You are so good , keep up your playing You make me so Proud 

[@francobuchini5759]

amazing!!!!!!

[@godface81]

Who doesnt love this! Unreal , Both Jess and Alex solo's . What a piece of fine art guys! THANK YOU

[@smoothjazz1907]

いい音してますね。 何年たっても色々な人達がコピーしている。名曲ですね。

ヤッツィー

[@thelemonademusicstudio5146]

still watching 2019 😎

[@danamcreynolds9456]

Jess, very Larry phrasing. I'm hard to impress. You did. Alex, you bring Larry's phrasing into a more modern style. Also impressive. Thank you.

[@peevee605]

It's so cool to hear a great player coax that fat sound out of a strat.

[@waynemiller6070]

both had such great command.

[@leeDs718]

Jess, I love that run 5:18-5:25 played so nicely

[@andyharpist2938]

thats the gasp out loud moment

[@drums5050]

My fav run too ,perfect note selection

[@nielsanderson4926]

I have to agree with you and I like to mention something else ! And that is There's noone else from Whom You can watch BETTER than Jess Lewis she is probably One of the best aswell as playing with a kind of Finger souplesse I havent seen before So when you want to play Larry Carlton Jazz Tunes Well if you cant Find A video of Larry Carlton himself preferably Live So I can check out how and what he is doing! I would advise you to watch Jess Lewis download the clip and play with the VLC VIDEO APP SO YOU CAN CONTROL THE PLAYBACK SPEED IF YOU GO VERY SLOW THE TONE STARTS TO JENGLE BUT YOU CAN SEE EXCELLENT WHAT SHE IS PLAYING IN FACT TODAY I PLAYED HER VERSION OF ROOM 335 AND IT IS UNBELIEVABLE WHAT SHE DOES 🎉

[@xsited1]

Jess's playing is so crisp and precise.

[@videosyncrisy]

This is just totally brilliant. All of us Larry fans are smiling with warm hearts. ❤

[@albertotaranzano2428]

Just perfect.... This girl is unbelievable!!!

[@BrianAuer]

Wow, Jesse really knows how to make a statement with her guitar!! I never feel like she rambles.... which is rare in this genre nowadays. She really plays with a lot of feeling and timeless phrasing. I can see her opening some eyes for a lot of players in the future.

[@kennethgarcia25]

Love her playing! Just a phenomenal guitarist!

[@BrionSwansonAmeture]

Amazing. Incredible. ( shakes head in disbelief )

[@wackenthaljef]

...and you know what youre talkin about Brion!!!

[@fred8097]

Jess, this is fantastic.

[@samuelklaverguitars8146]

Que top! Dá vontade de passar o dia ouvindo! Usei este vídeo como aula pausando e pegando cada escala e ideias! Obrigado!

[@videowatcher4006]

What I like about guitarists like this is that we can each note and it's played with feeling.

[@wadesharp11]

Beautiful playing! Tone brilliant and feel...❤️😍🎼🎸both solos rocked! And thats why i want a fender

[@BillJonesJr-h4i]

That was Phenomenally Incredible,💥 Bravo 👏.. . Larry Carlton would definitely approve ⭐😸 ... especially the young lady ...absolutely intense ...perfect clarification on the high notes 🎶 ... definitely did her homework on this number 🎸🌹🏆🎥

[@jean-xavierjuhel3234]

WOW ... better than the original. thank s Larry for this tune, thank s Jess and alex for your new version

[@rahard]

yep. one of the best take on this song! I even say that this is better than the steve lukather's one (with larry carlton!)

[@djfobtronics]

Better than the original? Definitely a nice cover but not better than LC's . I do enjoy the interpretation and tone in this cover.

[@rogerramjet6615]

Fantastic playing from both of you.

[@vigaren]

Oh my god!!! This is fucking incredible

[@HarryIron]

I keep watching and watching. This is absolutely HAMMER !!!

[@eduardoritos]

The smart girl don't tries "fighting" the amazing Alex's solo, but doing her own thing, and it's very well done, indeed. Hat up!

[@snakeplissken1509]

Jess Lewis is F**king Incredible, remarkable and above all admirable. I can't even fathom being that virtuosic at that age. I hope she continues to blow minds

[@ValeriyStepanov]

COOL! So kindly!

[@davgilmore6858]

Sympa ce petit jam. Le son est vraiment parfait, avec une très belle couleur de fond jazzy.

[@wilrockq1065]

This kid is just fantastic in everything from her timing to her choice of notes and attack. Plus she seems like she's having a great time - though she always seems shy. Unleash her with Tal Wilkenelfd - these two would be crazy in a band together.

[@6stringstorulethemall967]

Wil RockQ just BTW the solo she plays is note for note from the original recording

[@rinkeheerema1102]

Angel Vera I believe she just plays the original intro with the turnaround. At 1:22 she starts improvising. At least, thats what I hear ;)

[@6stringstorulethemall967]

Rinke Heerema nah I know this solo note for note because I did a report on it at school and I performed it. It really is note for note the same just find the original and listen to it

[@newmoon54]

Incredible cover here!!! Two really hot players taking on a HOT TUNE ....... and making it even HOTTER!!! Didn't miss a lick ..... and neither Alex or Jess took it easy on themselves either! They tore it UPPPP~!~ One of the best live recordings on KZbin~!~

[@asadmohammed1057]

What can I say! Simply superb.

[@edgardtorres6162]

Jess and Govan are both great guitarists 👍♥️♥️🎸🎸

[@JTCGuitar]

This is the only track available on the site that does not have the main solo transcribed. This is because it is a cover and Jess plays the track pretty much note for note. The free download comes with Alex's parts transcribed as this is original. Thanks

[@picktime_0117]

ㄹㅎ

[@jackoneil654]

Jess, this is just amazing, i have no words .. I hope you did not quit playing guitar because you can become one of the greatest !

[@bluesborn]

First off:no more excuses about your hands being "too small". PRACTICE.

[@mcren6781]

exactly.

[@Whiskel]

Small feet too apparently. Big hair though.

[@rafuxec]

Yngwie is giant his hands look normal for his height

[@potzko2552]

umm can I say Guthrie Govan and go? lol sry for being cancer byw :)

[@potzko2552]

I do think he is better thow :p

[@MrKamenraidar]

The direction of Room335 of the method of you is full of life, and I like it.

[@EixtremeDrummer]

That groove reminds me a lot Peg by Steely Dan...

[@Trolltamp]

Larry Carlton (who has played with Steely Dan) has his own instrumental adaptation of the song, which he uses for his solo shows. This improv is based upon that.

[@EixtremeDrummer]

Carl Olav håkå You are right Carl, Larry played that. The thing is that the groove is quite similar to Peg by Steely Dan.

[@EixtremeDrummer]

Matteo Allegra Sorry Matteo, but the bass line is not similar to most 80's pop hits fortunately.

[@EixtremeDrummer]

Matteo Allegra Hahaha. I hoped so! Steely Dan is a too serious thing to allow anybody to joke about !!! :)

[@EixtremeDrummer]

Oh, txs a lot !!!

[@ValinskiTreize]

ayant écouté la version originale après coup, je trouve la version jess et alex sublimé de mille feu avec la modernité des son d'aujourd'hui sans oublier le talent émanent des doigts de fée que sont les votres ! en tout cas quel plaisir sensoriel de vivre ça a travers cette interprétation oh combien transcendante. merci pour ça ! good joob bro ;)

[@1nzi]

That lick at 5:17, wow.

[@ciminif]

SUPER

[@patriciosilvarobalino9832]

To Jesse, you're wonderful, I never get tired of listen to you and your endless lick at the end. Thank you Jesse and Alex, million times

[@pontiacgirl73]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MayonMango]

Awesome Jess Lewis! ALL POSITIVE---and ALL GOOD!

[@deaconblues999]

a melody is a melody is a melody. IMHO Room 335, the original version, is 80% rhythm section. The genius Carlton just did what no one but Larry Carlton can do.

[@DAVEBLISS2007]

This young lady has nailed this famous Larry Carlton tune. Very impressive playing with lots of nice flourishes throughout. Just goes to show you don't have to own a Gibson 335 and Dumble Amp to sound good. Well done Jess. Alex is obviously a well know and great player. They interchange well I could only just detect a different player at the change over.

[@evrencangündüz]

marry me please ! what a technique . What a humble guitarist . She we ll be well known in next 5 years ı guess :)

@@TruthBeTold121212 I just did a search, there was indeed some bass popping up but most of her recent uploads are guitar playing ones. So she does both, plus a bit of keys it seems.

Really loved Jess Lewis' phrasing! Very melodic and creative, quite unique

[@icanhearyoufull]

Awesome you both..

[@dionisiogava631]

Jess, could talk about the effects you are using ? that is cool tone and sustain. Very clean ! many tks

[@r.o.v.v.3613]

I really, really like her tones, dynamics, etc. too! Hope she'd share the specs of her signal chain starting from guitar/pickups (custom shop? What pickups?) to pedals (brand/type/model, etc.), amp, settings. That was truly amazing playing and sound! I've watched this a few times now, too. :)

[@Boredem88]

Both of them r incredible! Love it!

[@teezzur]

Jess - SIT UP! Can't see your face - posture!!! Alex - well done! Both play well. Alex has that extra fire though!

[@graysinclair6572]

[@bassguitarriff1651]

Jesse started playing Bass in 2017, and she also rocks on the that. She's a talented and creative musician. It's great more and more girls and young women are playing music, we all benefit, more/different music created and an increase in talented artists like Jesse.
