Steve Morse NAMM 2018 Ernie Ball Booth Q2N

Had the pleasure of seeing Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs in 1975-76 at least a dozen times in Coral Gables, FL (University of Miami)
Big fan ever since!

[@ArtbyPaulPetro]

I have no words for what Steve's music has meant to me over the last 30+ years of my life.

[@fluffythewondercat]

An ex-boyfriend introduced me to the Dregs. Best thing he ever did for me!

[@davidepannone6021]

Its mind boggling how he can still retain so much clarity and precision during his alt picking runs having such a bad economy of motion due to the damn arthritis... truly one of the greatest.

[@seegui1971]

it's unreal

[@Chente73]

@saxon priest It's Osteo-arthritis, as he himself has said.

[@Chente73]

I think the same thing every time I see him doing that. It's both painful to see him have to pick that way now, but at the same time admiring!

[@josephbarker6075]

no dought

[@theroguetomato5362]

One of my favorite Dregs songs. Steve Morse is not only the best guitar player, he's a unique genius of a modern composer.

[@jacklangley861]

Steve Morse and the Dixie dregs have added so much to my life. I've been to more concerts than I can even remember. Love every song and album. Sincere thanks to you Steve Morse! 🙏🙏🙏!

[@philturner6642]

Ranks among the best ever.and having the honor of meeting and having an opportunity to play for him..a total gentleman.very kind not an arrogant bone in his body.a creative genius and player's player.a fan for life.

[@princeworld4769]

May God give more life and health to Steve Morse…he is such a good guitarist that can influence lots of students in guitar…

[@reno145]

I met him at NAMM in ‘91. He played a show with EVH and Albert Lee.

[@jabbawakka7286]

Mind blowing playing, technique, tone, feel and emotional content aside, the way Steve switches pickups, and adjusts volume and tone controls is a TRUE MASTERCLASS in and of itself.....TRULY AWESOME.....and one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE PLAYERS....a guitar MAESTRO.....and let's not forget how great a bass player Sterling Ball is......underrated in his own rite......be blessed

[@westerling8436]

Saw him perform with Deep Purple in 2015 and 2018, awesome guitar player

[@YesuAiNimen]

Great player! Super nice guy too. Absolutely the most down-to-Earth musician I've ever met.Rock on Steve!!!!

[@Rob-fd6si]

Jimmy Herring has followed in this tradition quite eloquently. Our pleasure

[@patlesage1256]

The best guitar player any style...great colour and wood ! Is it a new Y2D?...Steve please, I'd like you come in Europe with your material, I love all DP show I saw !!!...but I dream to see you with the "Steve Morse Band" or "the Dixie dregs"...PLEASE !!!

[@caminodelamatarodriguez2669]

Feliz cumpleaños Steve, te deseo que tengas un gran día. Tú eres muy grande!! 🎂🎂🎸

[@rkatz0]

I saw the Dregs some time before 1980. Mr Morse entertained us off the stage as well. What a kind soul!

[@kamaboko1]

A unique sound and style.

[@heeramalla4187]

awesome

[@jeddak]

Love how he quotes Highland Wedding in Divided We Stand...

[@phillong5035]

3:00 to 3:20 is perfection. Takes notes.

[@jessemcdonald3836]

Incredible stuff Steve

[@adamlewis917]

Steve can still play (hes the king) but it's SO damned sad to see the arthritis decimating his right wrist. Sometimes he goes for those quick runs and it's just not as crisp as it once was. My all time fav player. It's also sad to think about the fact that I may never get to see the Dregs live again and the two shows in Atlanta sold out FAST.

[@markbaum9615]

Such a unique voice.....

[@aliensporebomb]

Nice take of "Divided we Stand" - Always loved that tune and his solo just nails the feeling.

[@rafaeldarocha3630]

Steve, the boss.

[@simonsblackmore]

Divided We Stand! One of my favorites from the Dregs. Thank you a lot for posting this.

[@rickpearson3018]

Saw them in Charleston a couple of days ago. They seem to have lost nothing. I am so glad for the opportunity to see the Dregs again - may all time favorite. Saw the Dregs in Austin when the opening act for them was Stevie Ray Vaughn.

[@heeramalla4187]

the mannnnnnnn

[@richfennell2352]

Sounds great. I hope they play that one in March when I go to see the Dixie Dregs

[@williamhoch1180]

i will see him in march too in nj

[@bartrobinson2103]

william hoch saw him last Friday night in Collingswood New Jersey excellent show indeed

[@alonzosmith6189]

The sound from the Dixie Dregs days, have to find the cassette

[@vmat1000]

Dregs fan then saw him 'open' for the Trio (John, Al and Paco) Davies. So happy Steve's still Steve !! Must be the Morse code :)

[@jamescarlucci9867]

Vintage Unsung Heros track...Divided we stand

[@heeramalla4187]

We respect you we want your signature licks how you make it happen

[@heeramalla4187]

New Gen..

[@alonzosmith6189]

Great sound, Dixie Dregs days

[@carlbergman9178]

going to NAMM tomorrow...hope to catch more Steve Morse on video!

[@vashthestampede4716]

Sounds like Gentle Giant.

[@dvegaarancibia]

ídolo

[@heeramalla4187]

me too

[@wildbillhackett]

It's a shame fender never came out with a Steve Morse Tele like the old one he had.

[@stefanhall3219]

I remember when Steve didn't use the forearm to speed pick, when all the movement was from the wrist. Maybe it is because of the trouble he is having with his own wrist.I haven't tuned into Steve for a decade. It is like he passed away or something.I don't know.Somewhere it just seems like Steve became lost compositional and he has a really hard time keeping a band together.I used to pass him every day in the hall where Duane Allman lived.

[@MarijeEssink]

Thanks so much Carl!

[@toddyeates271]

whos the assholes that dislike on this? It doesnt get any better!!!! goose bumps!!!

[@ArthurBrendler]

He's using a V-Amp 2 on the board! Haha.. Great!

[@widaAcK]

I sound like this in job-interviews Then Im gone in aprox 0-2 months

[@heeramalla4187]

please show or tell us how to play

[@heeramalla4187]

cause most guitarists get frustated not being able to play your lead

[@stuforty2]

great technique tone and vibrato 😬

[@wellingtonmiranda9808]

Deus abençoe a internet

[@heeramalla4187]

please

[@ABSounds]

Whats happened with his right hand?

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

Tendinitis/Arthritis from his picking technique over the years (anchoring the pinkie etc...)

[@ameer_saban]

Dream Theater meets Rush in a Led Zeppelin world

[@marekbatsaikhan]

What's the song? :)

[@carlbergman9178]

Divided we Stand

[@marekbatsaikhan]

Damn this sounds amazing. Even prefer it to the album version.

[@markgowans]

I've never really understood why the likes of Steve, Mark Knopfler and Gary Moore never play their guitars left handed since they are left handed. It seems to me that would make things easier but maybe I'm wrong.

[@patrickexiler9255]

I asked him that once when he did a workshop in my hometown. His answer: "Have you ever seen a lefthanded piano? Same thing, isn't it? " Being a piano player and a leftie it was hard to disagree, but I wish he would play a left handed guitar, if for no other reason than being able to buy a Steve Morse Guitar left handed edition.

[@ArtbyPaulPetro]

its not that simple really. i'm left handed and there is NO way i could ever play guitar left handed lol. it feels totally and completely WRONG.

[@markjohnston6893]

Paige bridgeman

[@goodforever1792]

speed picking from arm ho..!

[@australier263]

Totally overrated!!!!
