Dude, you're an inspiration to all of us musicians young and old and in between. Keep on rockin' and a blusin'. 🎸👍👏

good job!! coool riffs!!!

Christone Ingram You're amazing, man!

Thank you guys!

“I didn’t get into the blues until I was eight.” Well, what the hell were you doing!? Love everything about this kid.

Nikki Sixx your a cool cat to give that young man a seat on your couch! Much respect for you. Thank you

Larry N Yeah, had to make a little fun, Kingfish is amazing!

[@andrewdods2236]

True. You’re ... btw

[@chrismc.4437]

I wonder if Nikki was secretly wondering "this dude is damn good but after the shows when the hot pussy is showing up he's got zero chance"

[@calebheney302]

Had a gigantic fucking grin on my face the entire video, this man plays guitar beautifully, thanks nikki for showing his playing and interviewing him.

[@138NastyNate]

Nikki Im so glad you put a spot light on this kid. I have been following him now for a few years. He WILL be a Legend someday you can just tell. He just needs to get some recognition. Thanks man

[@tttarms1970]

N_Nate138th I'm sure nikki can introduce to the right people.. cause all of us who never heard of him....we're going to scope him out

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Too much of a risk for big labels, he won’t get mainstream recognition unless they want it.

[@jackthomson5047]

If he lives and doesn't have a heart attack. He's great but wow he is big

[@Paul-ob1lc]

@@jackthomson5047 wow made me laugh when they say that he ain’t been spotted, great guitar 🎸

[@HeROsiNhEaVeN]

Kingfish is truly awesome....I’ve watched a ton of his performances and he never fails to impress....

[@r_aguilar68]

His cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" at the Blue Canoe is mind blowing.

[@sudman6251]

Once in a generation type of player. The emotion in his music is effortless and can’t be taught. Kingfish is a REAL deal blues player. ❤️

[@vineflower]

Well said, he's really the real deal. And he's done so much homework, you can see that he's really listened to and played along with so many records.

[@arlos21]

Glad Nikki has invited Kingfish to this section amazing

[@juni039]

So impressed by this young man's talent and demeanor. His family raised him well.

[@chris-Ribble-Roots]

It's good to see a black kid with a guitar. If it wasn't for black kids with guitars all them years ago, music just wouldn't be the same today. Coming from England it seems like everyone in the US wants to be a rapper. I love hip hop but I also love the soul and rhythm black American communities put into guitar. Same goes for singers. This kid has both and its refreshing to hear.

[@smashboxing2670]

what a ridiculous, lame ass comment. If it wasn't for Black kids with guitars? Are you F'ing kidding me? I bet you think Jimmi Hendrix was the best guitar player ever too right? You want to see a REAL guitar virtuoso who's barely 13 years old and a girl? Check out Lisa-X from Japan. No disrespect to Kingfish cause he's great but she'll blow the doors off of him

[@IlIlIlIllIlIllI]

@@smashboxing2670 don't make life a competition.

[@Chazaq]

SMASHBOXING Dude, mostly all music genres come from black people. Including the rap you talk so badly about. Have some respect. If you know what that is.

[@MavidG]

SMASHBOXING there's both technical and soulful aspects to music. This dudes very soulful, which isn't really something you can practice, like you can practice to be good technically. It's like comparing an auctioneer (being LisaX) , to Nina Simone (being Kingfish or Jimi Hendrix).

[@josephthompson6942]

@@smashboxing2670 bad comparison

[@EYECOMEINPEACE]

May this kid live a long happy healthy life... Exactly the way he is. Awesome glad to see him on here.... Been watching his vids for a while.

[@surrealcereal603]

I've watched every episode of My Favorite Riff and I gotta say... that kid's TONE... wow. Thanks Nikki for introducing me to Kingfish.

[@michaelsnydermusic]

I love that guitar. Gorgeous

[@midnightflyer7510]

I love this kid! What a breath of fresh air! I only wish Nikki spent more time with him. We need to hear a lot more from this very talented, well spoken, knowledgeable and very polite young man. He gives me real hope that the blues and rock aren’t breathing their dying breath yet. He really is an old soul. We need more young people to dive into the past and tap into the source of rock n roll! Thank you King Fish! I could listen to you play and talk all day my friend!

[@paulhasenauer4166]

I always appreciate how Nikki Sixx, always asks great questions, and then he actually listens to his guests, put the spotlight on his guests and music. where some hosts it would be all about them, great job Nikki!

[@N.Z67]

So polite and down to earth. Hard not to respect a man who honors his music like that. I really hope this guy makes it to the top next to the likes of B.B. King and SRV.

[@soopsammich4533]

Man I love this kids style! His love and emotion just flows from that guitar

This dude has so much raw talent its crazy!! I could listen to him play all freakin day. Amazing playing Christone.

[@dono6971]

Been a fan of Kingfish for the last couple of years. He is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@351974gordon24]

I have a lot respect for Nikki Sixx for having this kid on his show. This is how you give back to music by giving talented young musicians a voice. This kid is awesome. You can tell music is his passion because you can hear it in his interviews and how he plays.

[@TanyaJo]

Omg yes !!! Thank you Nikki sixx for finding that talent!

[@MattDougan]

Christone know many of us look up to you no matter that you are a young man, what an inspiration you are! I wish you continued blessings

I’m late to this but Christone you’re the man- fellow Mississippi guitarist👍👌

[@stephenjames4937]

What a nice kid, all that ability and enthusiasm, and that humility. Good luck to him.

[@JVONROCK]

The world needed this guy, sincere, sharing the Love. We are thankful !

[@garthgundy]

Mind completely blown, kid knows his shit deep. Hearing an 18yo reference all of those artists and then lay it down like that has put my jaw on the floor. First hearing of him, thanks Nikki, made my day. Gotta holla FISHBONE AND P-FUNK!

[@protc]

That kid is awesome, been watching his vids for awhile.

[@saltpeter7429]

It's not only the great playing, he SOUNDS amazing. I am gobsmacked how this young man can just pull me right in with attention, like sliding down a winter hill. Hypnotic.

[@williamramponi4253]

This young dude just blows me away with this plane and following him for a few years now thanks Nikki for doing the show on them

[@shawnatv4355]

Wow he is so young 😍

[@mah8848]

I love this young brother. He got a old soul and pays respect to his ancestors and guitar legends that cane before him.

[@Bubba1960.]

This young man is fantastic. 18, graduated high school, and he's on his way to a music career. I could tell Nikki was happy to have him on the show as well.

[@pestilenes]

Nikki, so cool you would take out the time and bring a guy who nobody knows and give him a chance to shine. Your a badass guitar player man

[@woodguy76]

Hes not unknown.

[@acejohnson448]

If you don't know Kingfish then that's on you he's been on national television and has been making a name for himself for a while

[@earlpaige]

Sort of like the young black kids giving kudos to Kanye West for giving some old guy a moment in the spotlight. (The old dude was Sir Paul McCartney...) In all fairness though, none of know ANYTHING until we do.

[@mud027]

I've been getting into Christone for a little while now and he appears to have just such a nice soul and genuine feel about him. Keep it up young fella! The world needs more nice people like you.

[@Beakphoto]

Started playing at 14 and is 18 now? So only 4 years?!? WOW!!! Amazing tone and feeling in his playing, it's great to feature an up-and-coming star!

[@alphiedane]

Brian Kerrigan He was 11, read the discription.

[@Beakphoto]

Missed that, thought I heard 14 in video. Either way he's a great player with a sound well beyond his years.

[@dinonoce]

Brian Kerrigan the description says 11, but he says 14 in the video. Split the difference?

[@cersadescosmos7497]

He started at 11 with drums and bass, so he had some musical background before he picked up guitar. But when you consider the musical prodigies that come from classical music he's considered a late bloomer. You're just impressed because of your own abilities?

[@floyd49494949]

Love this kid. Great soul.

[@craig_dockyard_code]

I can't stop smiling while watching this. The kid is the truth!!! Thank you Nikki for putting him on the channel!

[@mothrasuperior5015]

This is my new favorite musician. I love the beginning with Nikki just eyes peeled with a huge smile as he’s riffing. There are times when the boy is strumming and you just can’t look away, he pours everything into it and it is just beautiful. Keep it up, Kingfish, you’re an inspiration!

Hey brother, you blow me away man. This does my heart good. Keep playing from the heart and soul. If you can't feel it, no amount of money will make it worth doing it. The real stuff always finds a way to reach people. God bless you and yours my brother. Peace.

Glad to see this young man getting some much deserved attention because he's is truly awesome and hats off to Nikki Sixx for being such a great interviewer and asking about his influences and who inspired him. Most interviewers don't even think to ask those types of questions and that's the very thing I want to know about a guitarist or any musician. Would love to see Nikki do an interview with Eric Gales, as well.
