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

[@JTCGuitar]

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

[@Bobcatspiritdude]

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

[@stratdave1]

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

[@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.🎸🎶💎

[@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.

[@videosyncrisy]

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

[@MrMjp58]

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

[@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.

[@loubraga5800]

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

[@Golchen]

Both incredible. Superb phrasing and both great guitar tones.

[@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

[@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!

[@thelemonademusicstudio5146]

still watching 2019 😎

[@MrKennyG57]

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

[@wilstratmaer7576]

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

[@luvpants2012]

Larry's original solo always takes my breath away. Jess did a great job

[@JessCat606]

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

[@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.

[@user-td6cy8zj2q]

Greg Vinson hey bro. You know nothing

[@carlosclaptrix]

Right said, Fred, uh, Greg!

[@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

[@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

[@Alex_Mercy]

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

[@sarahhurst701]

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

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

yes very,very nice....liked this song i dontknow 25years?Good to hear it here,thanks a lot

[@chriswoodley-stewart189]

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

[@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 . . .

[@deldia]

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

[@SebastienZunino]

this girl is incredible !

[@Onoins425]

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

[@user-li7hv4qy4n]

Wow that was simply outstanding love larry Carlton nice chops amazing music guys love from H in Edinburgh

[@larssol1]

Very precise and beautiful playing from Jess!

[@shanehill8189]

Great playing all round on one of my favourite compositions.

[@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

[@TommyGunzzz]

I'm blown away that about endless playing and phrasing

[@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

[@Tadesan]

Jess’ smile at the end is priceless.

[@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.

[@michaelfatino9837]

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

[@kajakristoffersen4571]

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

[@videowatcher4006]

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

[@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.

[@albertotaranzano2428]

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

[@laurentcohen9020]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@waynemiller6070]

both had such great command.

[@godface81]

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

[@kennethgarcia25]

Love her playing! Just a phenomenal guitarist!

[@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 ;)

[@feltzenfurg]

Wonderful players thank you very much I listen this song every day during the morning & when I live my job

[@BrionSwansonAmeture]

Amazing. Incredible. ( shakes head in disbelief )

[@wackenthaljef]

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

[@lynnstarkey8487]

The Goddess are rising....Jess Larry must be proud that you rip shred and put it all together again with such beauty! And the brother that answers you, what a guy.. Brilliant .

[@jameswcollett]

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

[@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~!~

[@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)

[@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.

[@peevee605]

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

[@honeylee5265]

Eternal respect to Sir Larry Carton for composing an everlasting super awesome song...

[@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!

[@MayonMango]

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

[@samuelklaverguitars8146]

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

[@Hue_Nery]

Saw Alex Hutchings just two nights ago with Steven Wilson. Incredible show. Alex is a beast. I went in blind. Never listened to Steven Wilson before or Porcupine Tree for that matter. Never the less, a great show. Everyone was tight. As to be expected. I wish Jess would tour. I'd love to hear her play live. Still one of my favorite guitarists.

[@wadesharp11]

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

[@EdoLS_]

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

[@cumcum0127]

無茶苦茶うまくて感動した！！

[@xsited1]

Jess's playing is so crisp and precise.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 !

[@vigaren]

Oh my god!!! This is fucking incredible

[@wilstratmaer7576]

Holy Toledo, fantastic playing Jess Lewis!!!! Masterful!!!!

[@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 !!!

[@tomyhas]

oh my god, i love this woman. I always come back to listen her playing.

[@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

[@user-dy5gy2rp6h]

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 🎸🌹🏆🎥

[@dorianponcela9680]

I'm a huge Alex Hutchings fan, but I didn't know Jess... she is an amazing player!

[@texacomann]

She is a wonder woman!

[@1nzi]

That lick at 5:17, wow.

[@ciminif]

SUPER

[@exutiku]

Stumbled on this vid and had never heard of the track, or Jess or Alex, and have been listening to nothing but for weeks. Jess you are simply oozing talent and you are going to go a long way ... wow wow wow simply doesn't cut it, but I can understand why superlatives probably simply weren't enough.

[@asadmohammed1057]

[@GaryLeventhal]

Just back for another visit Im beyond inspirational to describe how great this is on every level.............

[@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.

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.

[@Coverguy88]

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL FEMALE MUSICIAN!!!!!!!!!!! The rest can go to **** DAMN this was awesome!

[@RockSchooled]

What a stupid comment, you can't possibly be a musician of any worth or experience if you have that attitude.

[@Hue_Nery]

She's a great musician regardless of gender. She beats the pants off most of the guys I know. We shouldn't expect a girl to be any less a musician than a man. There are plenty of women out there that are far better players than most of us guys. Susan Tedechi, Orianthi, Jennifer Batten, Ana Vidovic to name a very few.

[@RockSchooled]

hueseph Well said. I don't know why either of us bothered to reply to Coverguy88 though - he's clearly one of the dumber humans out there with very limited knowledge of well....anything.

[@jaconova]

[@aicragmar6630]

Quel talent ! Beaucoup de subtilité et de sensibilité dans l'interprétation de cette très jeune guitariste, qui maîtrise déjà toutes les possibilités tonales de son instrument... N'a rien ou presque à envier à Alex Hutchings, qui ne manque pas de brio non plus.

[@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. :)

[@MrKamenraidar]
