Nathaniel Murphy Rips On Tele!

[@TheSupart91]

Beginning riff sounds like im running outta time in mario world 😂😂

[@RyanChansler]

I came here for this comment. 🤣

Gave me flashbacks 😂

Was just about to say Damn.

Gah damn

When Rick Beato laughs at something like this, it usually means he’s blown away.😆🎸👍🏻

[@michaelgottlieb9083]

True that… Rick laughs for all of us 😂

[@garycastronova7939]

Maybe ..but he sure ain't no Kirk Hammett

[@markseelye8270]

Those fuckin swells with the volume knob. What a legend

[@woody816]

Check out Roy Buchanan doing hey Joe, the dude was a master

[@gregmonahan990]

This guy is unreal Personally I prefer volume swells on a strat Just my opinion

[@vinnireyes9689]

Tele nobs arent as smooth either an but harder to reach, so awesome

[@rickjason215]

@@woody816Jeff Beck also. Roy was the first with that, but Beck brought it to another level swelling the volume while using the whammy bar to pick notes. “Where were you” is an example of that. Much of what he plays is the whammy bar picking the notes.

[@twangbarfly]

Check out Danny Gatton's steel licks on Heartaches by the Number (Not the Tramps, NYC version...). Prepare to be amazed!

[@dalenelson7161]

The guitar is so versatile. This guy is a real master.

[@sgtpepper6379]

It's versatile within it's genre. Compared to a jazz bass, it's not versatile at all.

[@probablyBigT]

@@sgtpepper6379 how versatile is a JB

[@Derekanic.]

​@@sgtpepper6379 But that's a bass, last time I checked guitar is a different instrument.

[@caymenmann5344]

He’s a pretty popular Instagram guitarist

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

He does a wicked version of Zeppelin`s "Kashmir", it`s mind-boggling. He works at one of the well-established guitar stores in NYC.

[@Joey_McElroy]

[@operationstayalive]

love the behind the nut bends. what a humble, personable, amazing player. wow.

[@coreykishman8833]

Doyle Dykes might say something about that one lol...

[@patrickharlow1098]

I wouldn’t call but bending humble but I get what you mean 😂😂😂

[@operationstayalive]

@@patrickharlow1098 butt bending is most definitely not humble. 🤣🤣

[@TheLuke...]

@@operationstayalive butt bending is a lot more humble then nut bending actually, nut bending is more a sign of strength and endurance, butt bending is far friendlier. I find bending nut harder than bending butt. As all the other benders out there, water benders, air benders etc. to bend nut is superb

[@musicbynajee]

@@TheLuke...I cried reading this comment bro 😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@orbispictus66er]

He’s phenomenal and ridiculously humble.

[@mateoochoa5827]

Arguably one of the best guitar players in our day

Love it when Rick smirks and chuckles and you see his love of guitar

[@dabj9546]

Immaculate clarity on those post-nut bends!

I get the same clarity post nut as well

You guys are incorrigible.

[@Gruff86990]

That tapping was so slick!!!

[@bedroid7801]

Sounds like the beginning of moonlight sonata on guitar

I've never seen moonlight sonata played on a tele that's for sure. What a legend haha

[@ilemraz]

Nate’s not human. He’s truly from another planet.

[@Maxman92]

Best guitarist I’ve seen on KZbin. I watch all of his CME videos. He is so incredibly knowledgeable and versatile

[@melvindoan3298]

This guy is unbelievable he has talent in both hands he doesn't need anyone else ha ha he is great.

[@timbok83]

Who knew country riffing could give me goosebumps. First time for everything I guess.

[@jhandle4196]

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs knew. Them boys on "The Andy Griffith Show" they called the Darlings did too.

[@3volk715]

It happens to all of us eventually! We all go through a chicken pickin phase. RnB, gospel and neosoul are all fun stops too :)

[@arthurtapikisnr7999]

Spot on

[@warfarinoverdose7221]

That 3rd lick is really wild! You can see joy on Rick's face.

[@douglaschristine8387]

Nathaniel loves showing off for you. He's so good!

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Oh my God, he's soooooooo GOOOD!

[@jhandle4196]

That is years of muscle memory in action. What a vocabulary to have available. Most of us are still working on "See Spot run."

[@MichaelJacques]

Man, those country guys are so good!

[@PierreBAZBazinet]

He can humble any guitar player in the first 8 bars of any songs he play...❤❤

[@IanTheAlternative]

Why are people not more fucking impressed by his playing?

[@Mikevdog]

I am

[@vincentgarzoli3197]

Just added him to my most underrated list!

[@MCFC-OK1416]

Not many people are looking for the virtuoso. They just need a good rhythm and a good chorus to fold their laundry to. Simple as.

[@CrossedCollar]

Add me to the list, first timer but wow

[@theshield2207]

@@MCFC-OK1416exactly. Playing a lot of notes in a minute can only get you so far. Even 5 year olds can do it, but can they write multi platinum albums is the question

This dude is just so good!!! I love watching him play.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

This guy and Tom B literally drop my jaw when they play

[@janiterinadrum1627]

When I was younger in the 80s, I thought a telecaster looked like something that a kid would make it shop class. I did not like them. I like the super stretch and Les Paul as I’ve gotten older. I’ve realized that a Stratocaster and a telecaster or tools for a certain sound that, cannot get anywhere else especially the telecaster with that pick up and that metal plate at you can’t get that sound with anything else not even close. I love them now and I’m thinking about getting another one.

[@3.k]

@@janiterinadrum1627 I’ve been a Gibson fan for a long time, because of Angus and Slash and Gary, and I used to dislike that funny headstock shape of the Tele (looked like a crippled Strat to me), but after many years, I had to see that the Tele is the most versatile thing out there, and I’ve come to really like the simple design and everything about it.

[@mahcem]

That faux B-bender number is absolutely brilliant. Still giggling here :))))

[@jasonblanton5229]

I've only seen one B-bender, it was cool! Sounded awesome.

[@patrickjordan2233]

​​@@jasonblanton5229there's a video over on Rhett's channel, this Nathaniel just rips on it... An insanely expensive instrument (prototype #1 or 2, if I remember correctly...) It's a cool video IMO

[@LifesBetterWithMusic]

Nathanial is one of the most talented and versatile guitar players of this era. The way he arranges songs is like no other!

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

The ease with which Nathaniel picks up the guitar and plays these fast and complicated licks with an immediate great tone is truly astonishing! Experienced guitar players know how difficult it is to play these kinds of licks with such precision, intention and fluidity, especially on what's arguably the most unforgiving guitar ever made (the Tele). Superb guitar talent and seems like a really nice, chill dude too! 👍

[@nickpatterson679]

the guitar has to be one of the most versatile instruments created.

[@Boo.....]

You've clearly never encountered the Triangle. 😂 🔺

Been playing guitar for like 30 years and Nathaniel truly has one of the most unique, naturalistic feels and tones with his playing. It's skillful at a truly absurd level but he plays with such joy.

[@TURTLEORIGINAL]

I love the steel guitar lick and that last lick he played!❤

Killer. British guys playing country licks…nothing says music is universal greater than that! Love the beard, Rick!

What I love about tele is how good it sounds with so many other guitars. It can do every genre just about and sound good while also sitting in a mix well.

[@FoardenotFord]

It should be illegal to be this much of a guitar god and be that handsome at the same time. Like my guy, save some for the rest of us, please!
