Jimmy Herring Band - Aberdeen

[@spdkld]

Jimmy is a nearly perfect blend of every great guitarist out there.

[@demolitionwilliams7419]

That's a great way to put it

[@spamvat8736]

The best part of Jimmy is the way he thinks. Like Allan Holdsworth, he always surprises you and takes your breath away with a choice. Even a simple choice that catches you off guard. One of my hands-down, all-time faves. Yay, Jimmy!

[@cbrennan012]

well said

[@roberttrammel4253]

Actually Guthries favorite modern guitarist is Derek Trucks. I'm sure he is Herring fan too. herring, holdsworth, govan, howe, henderson, huchings, kotzen (when he doesn't sing), lane, Allen Hinds all on the top of funky and tasty fusion chart.

+Robert Trammel and Frank Gambale..

[@lucamacchi8550]

+ Robben Ford and Greg Koch

[@doce7606]

this is a point of discussion. IMHO Jimmy H thinks in a different, almost opposite way to AH. Herring's Guitar Player columns show his 'jam band' ethos of maximising scale and pentatonic patterns over familiar (and unfamiliar) harmonies, with inside note choices to become as versatile as possible with as much soul as can be maintained. Then he adds a singing tone and great touch to his leads (hear that Indian Raga inspired meltdown at a dutch festival). AH made it a point (at leats later in his evolution) never to play a pattern, always to improvise without cliches (a difficult task) and spend a lot of the time as outside the harmony as he could get. Both are great players of course, but AH was next level (hear his Red alert solo at yoshis...).. peace and love

[@RichHayes-s2e]

He is one of THEE most tasteful guitarists I have ever heard - and I've been listening a long time. Truly Jimmy is one of the all time greats! Every note, every rest, perfect! And the band? Pretty perfect as well. Thank you All

[@vivaldoferreira42]

So underrated. What a gem! Inspires guitarists all over...

[@austinheimark5482]

I could listen to this song a hundred million times and not get bored!

[@jazzfusionfan884]

Jimmy Herring is definitely one of the most soulful guitarist alive. His feel, phrasing, tone, is so absolutely perfect. Every note has purpose... so lyrical. Whether he plays slow or fast, he gives me chills. He's influenced my playing and will always inspire me. There's many really great guitarist, and there is no best... that's completely ridicules. To my ear, Jimmy deserves mention to be in say... the top 25 real masters of guitar (and that's a damn big statement)

[@simonvanderheijden432]

Very well put my friend. People drive me nuts with "X is the best guitar player in the world" bs.. Having said that, this guy reduces me from a guitar player to a guitar owner.. 😂

[@tmgranato]

That's one of the best guitar instrumentals I've ever heard... I come back everytime. What a band

[@jimraimondi410]

I can listen to this melody a million times.

[@musicisthebestF]

Thats the Blues guitar Tone every Player wishes to have One Day Im very very glad i found Jimmy Herring through youtube

[@Naniamania3]

One of our true musical treasures.

[@GNARGNARHEAD]

been listening to this performance for year, phenomenal ❤

[@billhunt4539]

Staggeringly gorgeous tone....almost vocal-like. That is a masterpiece.

[@roderickgful]

Was fortunate to have Jimmy as my instructor at AIM/GIT 88-89. One of the nicest people. VERY patient! Lol. Soft spoken yet able to convey his thoughts wonderfully!

[@mrbertiep1]

Love Jimmy's ability to get that slide effect w/o a slide.

[@Diax1324]

As a guitar player... It is REALLY HARD. You have to think as if you are a slide player, which you are not. Just beautiful playing. I can emulate these sounds, just not like Jimmy.

[@bizza12]

Jimmy uses a Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor which is what I believe is providing this effect in conjunction with the guitar.

[@moreorlesslikeso]

@@bizza12 Although the sound may contribute to the impression, I'm convinced the secret is in the playing itself - and it's actually quite hard to do, just like Diax1324 wrote. There even used to be an older video from some guitar clinic here on YT where Jimmy demonstrates the basics of this technique himself. I've also seen little bits of something in this vein from Tom Bukovac and (I think) from Andy Wood...

[@bizza12]

@@moreorlesslikeso If you can find that I would love to see it as I've never heard another guitarist use this "effect". I'm wondering if its a variation on getting that tone harmonic sound when you use a pick but are muting the strings with your fingertips at the same time.

[@moreorlesslikeso]

@@bizza12 I did some digging in my KZbin history and came up with these: - Andy Wood guitar series The Woodshed ep4. Sound like Derek Trucks and Duane Allman without a slide!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqmakqhon9eKg9E - Corona Lessons volume 3, Tom Bukovac, southern harmony & faux slide kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6K9mmqNrNN1h8U - Jimmy Herring: Jam Session #6 Guitar Lesson kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ-1nJ2EpbqLnJY (the technique demonstrated by the man himself!) and - Jimmy Herring: Jam Session #5 Guitar Lesson kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6ezd6uunrqYZqM (which is more about those "Holdsworthian" bends - without using a whammy bar)

[@jamesallanburruto]

been listening to this session for years. never tires and always inspires. love jimmy.

[@robertalderman1297]

Jeff and Jimmy together again. Love always.

[@donkkong5551]

Dude this mans touch of the guitar is so fucking spiritual! If I could only construct a guitar solo half as good.. Jimmy your a true talent and inspiration to me.. Thanks for making me strive to be a better guitar player!

[@MichaelTiemann]

+Don K Kong Well said!

[@juancpgo]

I think the best thing to improve our musicality and improv, is to listen to quality music massively, hunt the greatest... I'm currently listening to jazz masters like Charlie Christian, Howard Roberts, Jimmy Rainey... to more I listen and love them, the more that quality starts to emerge in my playing. I try to fall in love with music, then let the music play me.

[@aallen6408]

Yeah, Jimmy inspires me to be a better guitar player. He also makes me want to throw my guitar away.

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

Yes, I agree! If we raise the bar high with our listening, we will raise the bar high as far as what's coming out in our own individual playing!

[@mikeparsons9014]

Heh heh, I second (or third) those feelings aallen6408. But I'm never gonna throw my guitar away, though I will apologize to it, if it's been listening to Mr. Herring right before I practice with it.

[@megabyrds4796]

I can't imagine how I haven't heard of this guy before. Great player!

[@maevtr3922]

No one will ever sound like Jimmy Herring. His tone is unmatched. The notes he chooses to play (or not play)

I am a guitar guy for sure...I play and have always loved it, but I really, really enjoy listening to and watching Jeff Sipe play. Something about his groove that I love. He'd be my choice for a drummer if I could put together a dream band.

[@aasquirrelaa]

Years of lessons watching Jimmy, thanks to you brotha.

[@richardfernley5377]

Jimmy is just a really good and likeable human being, thank you for your musical genius

[@sduke39]

This is truly beautiful music. Jimmy Herring is amazing.

[@BK4595]

How could you not like this guy... taste, chops, he's got it all... and his band is incredible as well

[@bangersnmash4856]

Started listening to Jimmy now that Allan has passed, this is nice

[@zfatbcvxbthsbcv]

Saw him at suwanee years ago, he was with widespread panic. Had no idea who he was at the time. I was right at the front about 10 feet away from him. He blew my mind, his tone is amazing and his playing is out of this world.

[@zfatbcvxbthsbcv]

@@klutz3213 Wooo, im going to go hulaween this year, the lineup is amazing!

[@davec629]

tremendous vibrato and tone. That just made my day.

[@colinguy1]

the chops, the tone, the musical skills to die for !

[@csisalesbasics673]

OMG. Incredible musicianship. That Hammond B3 adds super sweet icing to an already very tasty sonic cake. Superb

[@shred5]

This was the first song (and video) I ever heard of Jimmy Herring, and he has quickly became one of my favorite guitar players.

[@DenEz_TV]

Yes, I've just felt the same, brother!

[@dylanharding1546]

He is one of the greats. Electricity pulses through his veins and pulsates through the strings of the guitar. Fluid communication...

This is SO friggin good.

[@slickcross]

WOW! That tone is amazing. They are all good.

[@richvanc100]

Jimmy knocks my socks off, for sure. An original...

[@nolansimilac]

God bless Jimmy Herring. God bless Jeff Sipe. God bless Matt Slocum.

[@katsquirrel3955]

A lot of pain and struggle to make that brilliance.... beautiful and much appreciated ❤

[@gliccairdello]

damn, what a sound, so melodic, glad I found this guy to listen to.

[@elevenAD]

im impressed each and every time i hear this bassist, dudes style is just out of this world!

[@loud7070]

Jimmy is amazing and so is the Jimmy Herring band.

[@3kingsofblues]

Reminds me of Roy Buchanan…..not many guitarists do….sounds great

[@veitchy88]

It’s hard to listen to Roy B and not want to play at least a little bit like him. I know I’m still trying.

[@jimsieben1970]

Man, everything that Jimmy plays is perfect!

[@groovee63]

sounds awesome especially with headphones.. great stereo stuff

[@feelthefunkx2]

Great song, great tone, great feel, great everything!

[@B3Passion]

I don't usually say this, but oh my God! Finally a tastey B3 player! JH and the band, so nice, you made my day😊

[@wesleymarkmusic403]

True story. I passed a sign today for Aberdeen Ave. I looked up the meaning of Aberdeen. According to Wikipedia it means, "at the mouth of the Don." The river Don in Scotland. Then I see this YT recommendation. Nice tune. Great players.

[@jnh73]

Man those bends starting around the 2:00 mark give me the chills, especially the one just before the 2:10 mark. Wow. I hope to someday make my guitar playing look and sound as effortless as Jimmy makes it.

[@pearbra]

+Jack Narcotta Reminds me of Derek Trucks

[@Esbenmad]

Great song! Reminds me of "Sweet dreams" by Roy Buchanon

[@timtaller1703]

It's nice to listen .The melody is light.

[@CesarClouds]

Thumbed up even before listening.

[@laurenferrell8082]

I mean holy shit Jimmy..... you kill it EVERYTIME!!! You’re even better live.... believe it or not!

[@iamme294]

So approachable.. In 05" at a Jerry Garcia B-ash out in the mountains of west virginia.. I'm like you look like Jimmy Herring... He's like "that's a relief because I am" maybe not quite the quote... We talked for over an hour.. He came back to our camp site... It was amazing>>>>

[@Jaynesgang]

The acid test? When a fellow can make you believe that you can do it as well. Just so natural and done right. It's all so perfectly clear while you are watching. Great stuff......great players.......great music.

[@Eduaro2U]

Great - superb... Love the sound of this band - Jimmy sounds wonderful of course - but that Hammond organ sound (and playing) is so fat, warm and soulful - the perfect foil for Jimmy's voice. Wonderful!!!

[@danielfritz954]

Wow... i just found this guy and he sounds phenomenal.

[@ericrausch5122]

OMG....Super Duper Tone... Drums too lol. Thank you for this. Greetings from Subic Bay, Philippines

[@iamme294]

One of the BEST guitarists playing LIVE today, maybe EVER! Certainly in my top 5 in no particular order.

[@mauricemcguillicutty4746]

What a band! Love that smart whole-tone turnaround/outro. Yeah, I II7 bVI6 Vm7. NICE!!

[@jasonwilliamshuck]

i love this 4 amazing-players-jamming-in-a-high school band room vibe. JH playing a tele is righteous.

[@enriquegutierrez9013]

Nice. Aberdeen is one of my favorite tracks from the last album.
