John Butler-Pick a Part

Solo performance, taken from a Total Guitar Dvd

[@jamesmills7255]

I remember seeing this on that Total Guitar DVD when I was like, 13. My introduction to John Butler and his awesome music.

[@toru_dj_uk]

Coming back to this video 15 years on. Just amazes me how he gets such a groove out of these notes

[@alipaterson7013]

Remember this was on a dvd on first issue of total guitar magazine a bought sure matt from trivium was on cover amazing to be able to watch this again

[@stubear2000]

I think this is pretty much the best version of this track.

[@evolveyourchops]

All these riffs "Breaking the internet" and not nearly enough people have seen this absolute masterclass in riffery.

[@aaronyeager83]

The music just FLOWS out of this man... my idol.

[@KidThomsonMediaProductions]

[@robbieharrison90]

[@askarielad]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@minorkatminor]

this is better than the album version, alot of Johns stuff is better live.

[@wgraves18]

Only John Butler could pull off a sweater vest and blue jean shorts...

[@flaminx0r]

I agree!

[@mcgintyp]

11 string actually. 11/11/11

[@RumTumTanner]

@Ayato3 High five to you, for I too felt reborn the moment I discovered Rory Gallagher.

[@minorkatminor]

@boabroab its like when he plays he is in an epic battle and his guitar is his weapon.

[@rhythmchild81]

@Tarbash7...so where's your video buddy? perhaps aside from the slide, you neglected to notice the fretwork he was pulling off? that's tough on a 6, never mind a 12 (or 11) string.

[@gherkin007]

I've got the TG dvd featuring this. It's bettered only by his "oceans" piece

[@guitarmastaz]

sure

[@guitarmastaz]

i can play very thing accept the solo 1:20 to 1:34 :P and this is a great vid and artist!

[@notinsane4165]

Open C?

[@Rockness01]

As always guitar sounds great. This is the first time I've heard his voice. sounds a bit like Eddie Vedder.

[@hannibalstruikrover]

@EddyBear360 its called open c :)

[@123serioussam]

this is filmed in my old school in whitby england.

[@kiwihillbomber]

Really? Where in England is whitby?

[@JandritoBlues]

That hippie sure can pick.

[@lucasamontenegro]

I wish I had about 20 guitars... each in a different tuning... it's so annoying that i have to change tuning everytime...

[@simon8126]

I hear you on that one, I love playing in DADGAD, but with only one acoustic, having to retune all the time is a pain in the arse.

[@twatwaffle1201]

Simon Worrall you have any idea what tuning he's using here?

[@jigssup]

twatwaffle1201 cgcgce

[@gherkin007]

i was going to agree with this then realised it was me who said it

[@FelipeMunhos]

I have one glass slide like this, but i dont know how to use!:s

[@brainfullametal]

How good is this bloke?

[@denardkevin]

[@Seagullmania931]

if you like talent like this you have to like rory gallagher hes brilliant to

[@TheNakedQuack]

Yep, also known as open C...

[@Meklo]

... what's wrong with the early 90's? Come on music guru, enlighten us with what we "should" be listening to now... good music is good music, regardless of style, influences or date. That's why Zep, Hendrix etc. are still extremely relevant to modern artists and why their own music still sounds fresh.

[@polarbear01278]

best ive seen

[@guitarmastaz]

well sorry for commenting then...

[@chewiz]

True lol

[@shaefferharris6470]

[@Strytec]

[@bud112uk]
