I met Chris at San Jose City College in 1979. We started the same year and when he took his first solo in Jazz Improv, everybody's jaw dropped and he continued to blow minds whenever he played. I went to his house once to jam and his room was plastered with posters of his heros. His mom made us some "snacks" at his request. He would go see Robben Ford play and record his shows and learn his licks from the tapes. He'd always be talking about his "Robben tapes". Chris is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. Humble, unassuming and a king of the blues but what most don't know about him is that he can play ANYTHING.

[@rudycontreras6371]

I was at San Jose City College as well. He played on a song i wrote. We performed it at a composition recital. Great memories. Chris is just as awesome now as he was back then.

[@funkyjones]

@@rudycontreras6371 So cool.

[@Tonetwisters]

VERY fine evaluation, Mr. Funky, very well done all the way up and down the player and person ... good job. Chris is sort of a white BB King / Albert King. These kinds of guys pretty much get up in the morning playing a guitar and fall asleep with it across their chest when they finally crash. Just found out about him this Wednesday, 4 March and glad I did. So nice to hear a player who can play clean, this melodic and passionately. I personally have been playing 58 years, so's I knows what I'se talkin' about!

[@aydinira6577]

pro tip: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

[@chandlerkarson1437]

@Aydin Ira Definitely, I have been using flixzone} for since december myself =)

[@jamesemerson4102]

Chris' phrasing is actually so good I can't help but smile and laugh with joy when I hear it. It's like he predicts what my ears desperately want to hear, and not only plays it, but plays it 10 times better than what I could hope for. Just pure talent.

[@simonsmith3188]

How is Chris Cain not a household name! Great tone, great voice and great playing. I have only just stumbled across him. Whole band are excellent.

[@zoerose11]

Agreed. Should be household name. Skill, soul, joy, the lot. Fabulous player

[@brianfarrall3891]

Just discovered Chris Cain and I can’t agree with you more Wow what feel he has just love it !

[@JL-bu8bz]

Fantastic guitar player. But not só good voice.

[@Chavee496tee]

...because sounds too much like BB and Albert rolled into one!

[@roberttaylor6571]

Me too

[@rickdunn174]

Why have i only discovered this guy? Holy!! What a legend. Deserves much recognition Chris cain blues god 👆👆

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

Absolute best guitar player on the Planet ! If you look up the word " BLUES " in the dictionary you will see a Picture of Chris Cain !! So authentic , but still being original , he can blow anybody else off the stage by opening his guitar case ! The best Blues guitar player I have ever heard , I am a guitar player , and playing in Blues bands since 1963 . 71 years old now , and hoping I can get a chance to see Chris before I die !! Thank God for youtube , or I might never have heard of him ! Have been a fanboy of his for the last several years !

[@Jonathan-L]

Check out Robbie Laws from Oregon. You'd probably like him too.

[@drdave971]

Chris is an absolutely beast on guitar alongside The mighty Stevie Ray Vaughan , I saw SRV with Albert King , BB King , and Clapton , what a show without disrespecting anybody in this amazing lineup , and yes I am also a blues rock guitar player , SRV just smoked , at one point they were all just watching SRV just blow the lid off , I say all these things because I think Chris is equally a beast and can stand next to any of those blues players awesome playing 👍👍

[@JL-bu8bz]

@@drdave971 for me chris have more tecnical phases tem srv

[@jamesemerson4102]

Absolutely true! he has a level of authenticity that is hard to come by, but at the same time completely sounds like himself. He also plays in such an effortless manner with pure joy.

[@martinjones5965]

@@JL-bu8bz me too I find Chris way more engaging than SRV - its subjective.

[@diegoteruel7069]

The blues is the music of the soul and the feeling. Genial Chris Cain, thanks you!

[@leemichaels406]

Not only is Chris an amazing player but that backup band is just spot on! Kudos to all.

[@shawnglass108]

I just discovered Chris Cain about a year ago and I feel like I’ve been completely cheated. It’s insane that he’s not mentioned in every great blues guitarist conversation.

[@mchristr]

Chris sure scored a great band in Moscow. Blues is truly the universal language.

[@mikemayco7888]

Love Chris Cain. Really good band who obviously did their homework. Convincing Hammond, nice deep snare, solid Bass.

[@thunderoz1254]

What a tone 👍

[@SDPickups]

ONe of the greatest guitar players out there....

[@moshemem7525]

What a pleasure, thank you Chris Cane our brother !

brilliant musician and a real character

[@hervemerliet]

A true Blues Master. Very good line up. Thanks for the video.

[@waynecristaudo7220]

Thanks to Shane from in the blues for singing Chris’s praises - ❤ - and leading me here - this music/ playing is pure joy

[@RupesMcDGuitar]

Superb, I feel a Chris Cain player focus lesson coming on...

[@aartman01]

I discovered "Unscheduled Flight" when I was presenting a blues radio show in Australia. That album got a lot of airplay on my show!

[@michaelwatkins7480]

Chris and the whole band are on point! Excellent players!

[@benlogan430]

So professional and so damn smooth! He’s 100% the real deal no ego just sweet sweet music. And excellent interaction with the band! I knew some good would come out of watching those Norm videos! A Yayy man yell is what you get! I’m going to school.

[@MrMd5555]

Man I'm saving up for a 335 right now & hearing that tone & his playing is making me want to go guitar shopping tomorrow & just bite the bullet. Ramen noodles ain't all that bad & my kids love them too what could go wrong!! Lol

[@TheEmmochka]

Wow Band !!°°Thank You

[@giannibiancocircus]

Bravo Chris and the band

[@AB-C1]

Top man! Very under rated and fairly unknown for the level of his talent he should be a Global "Name" not just among those of us who love the blues and also even I only came across his music a couple of years ago as he's not that known in England just I'm a massive blues fan and all over YT all through lockdowns! (Even saw an old Back stage documentary type film of him back in the 80s or early 90s I think he has a moustache and looked like Ross out of friends "When he was I to his music"!) Chugging beers like water then went out on stage and slayed it out in Australia! Lol seriously great guy, seems proper nice fella and genuine from everything I've watched and that's a lot now tbh and he seem the kidnof guy that just eat breathes lives and sleeps guitar his whole love it's an extension of him! (I'm sure I saw him play drums and bass on one video unless I'm mistaking him for someone else!?) He's great when he pays some of the duet gigs he's done at Buddy Guys club and that top club in Maui (name slips my mind Sugar Mill I think?) Bit he's just sublime the way he can okay ANYTHING with anyone just jam and slip seamlessly from playing singing lead to rhythm and back n forth and really add to the sound not just fill gaps but add to the other guys playing it's great to watch! Cheers from London England 😎👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🎸

[@hesch-tag]

So much more variety in choice of notes than SRV, Sayce and KWS.

[@miccops0073]

Dont compare man, thats not the point.

[@hesch-tag]

@@miccops0073 Well that sounds very reasonable but that is what we all do. It's the others that always get the headlines. SRV was great but quite predictable and the other 2 are just copies in my opinion.

[@miccops0073]

@@hesch-tag Well man everybody has an opinion for everything you know hahaha, I think that the commitment of a guitar player ( blues player,etc...) is to transmit something to the audience. SRV can be predictable sometimes because everybody has stolen some of his licks and has tried to play like him, but he always makes you feel it, BB king is also predictable most of the time but he drops jaws you know hahahah. About Sayce and Shepherd I totally agree hahahaha, Peace and Love brother❤️

[@groundleaf865]

[@lefrelongaulois9489]

excellent aussi comme accompagnement-guit ! (montées chrom ou jeux out ) toujours credible.

[@boldstrike]

The most stunning thing is that Chris plays what he feels, how he wants , when he wants, all over the neck in a unpredictable way. To say the truth, he is not a shredder, he just plays the right notes at the right moment, thats what blues is all about.....he does whatever he wants with the guitar....this guy plays too much 🤦

What happened ?

[@geoffarnold6265]

His use of dynamics is so old school and sorely lacking in modern player circles, sadly. Music needs to breathe. Chris dies thus masterfully!

[@giannibiancocircus]

It's not fair to interrupt a slow blues solo with trash spot. Go to hell !

[@mayito714]

I like the dude but his similarity in voice tones to BB King just turns me off.
