She is a national treasure. Please include more Susan & Derek on your channel.

[@gohan24667]

i agree mrataylor

[@susanaskjem9623]

I saw Susan at the Empire theater in Grand Forks, ND and she was awesome!❤🎉😮

[@grantgardner5451]

Agreed! An interview with Derek would be awesome

[@patrickhite3026]

Tedeschi Trucks Band is the best band in America..Period.🍄

[@RC32Smiths01]

I love her philosophy of her guitar. Speaks about her long journey as a musician, and how far she's come, not to mention very vintage sounding. Her soloing and phrasing is very indicative of classic blues. Great collaboration.

[@lescaster2179]

Tedeschi Trucks is the single best touring band on the road today, for good number years running now. Amazing stage orchestration, monster musicianship, and a band that seems to enjoy themselves, enjoys being together, and they all get there space and moments in the mix. It's amazing.

[@MartyMusic]

Couldn't agree more!

[@gregbarnett3141]

I agree. I've gotten to see them five times. They are always great! It's one of those shows where you just let the music, vibe and entire event just wash over you. I have a hard time explaining it to anyone who has never gone.

[@LandonAPerson]

Saw them live at Jazz Fest in New Orleans earlier this year, fantastic band. Her vocals were incredible and of course her and Derek's playing was astounding.

[@_x3i3x]

she is such an amazing musician. is there like a 2 hour version of the interview somewhere we can watch?? 🤣

[@carlosfandango4822]

There are two reasons why i play a telecaster, Albert Collins and Susan Tedeschi. Susan's been a huge inspiration to me for many years, a proper guitar legend.

[@tenkarabadger5244]

Fantastic. She is really one of the great vocalists of her time but under appreciated as a guitar player. Which is pretty understandable when Derek Trucks is also in your band.

[@DanielMcGrath1969]

Dude, you have to check out my improvised solos from last night. I believe it needs to be heard. Ha Ha

[@chuck8974]

Marty, thank you for introducing me to this talented young lady and her incredible music!

[@MartyMusic]

My pleasure!

[@ZachYoung626]

I saw the TTB at Blossom Music Center back in July this year and its the best concert I've ever been to. The whole band was on fire and they belted it out for 2 hours straight. Hard to get much cooler than Susan.

[@douglaschristine8387]

What a voice. She reminded me so much of Janis on the song she came out with years ago. Now she's married to a great guitarist and doing excellent. Rock on Susan!

[@jasonpitts8395]

I saw Susan in the 1990s. Amazing back then and amazing now.

[@GuyMouton]

I've been listening to Susan Tedeschi for over 20 years, and I had never heard her speaking voice. No one sings like her, she's incredible.

[@chucklutter7399]

Enjoyed this very much, very well done. She is about the only guitarist I have not seen that I would consider going to see live. Combines the guitar skills and vocals in a way that gets me. Thank you for sharing your experience knowledge and passion for those of us trying to make music. Also for sharing this gem. BEST AND PEACE

[@lisaevon8274]

Buddy Guy has basically postponed the last half of his 2023 tour. Pray for Buddy 🙏

[@Mike-hr6jz]

Thank you Marty I love this lady. I believe she is underrated both guitar and Vocally the music media doesn’t want to promote blues anymore but those of us who still love it. Know she is one of the best. Plus, she is a sweet person, so thank you again for having this interview. Any of us that are fans love to hear more so this is great.

[@kdavis63]

Wow, Susan is so amazing...so cool

[@johnseeley9316]

What an awesome surprise. Love Susan! Love Marty! Major impressive that Marty fearlessly accompanies Susan with full knowledge of the fact that her normal musical partner is guitar god Derek Trucks.

[@MartyMusic]

it crossed my mind many times.

[@billvill61]

Yeah, but Derek isn't playing 12 bar accompaniment.

[@whychromosomesmusic5766]

I wonder if any of our Trucks ancestors from Bibb County, Alabama were musicians as well. Would be interesting to find out. All I can find are the legal documents like wills and probate and marriage licenses, etc. No mention of anybody leaving a guitar in a will ;-)

[@Guitargate]

Yes!!! Susan us the BEST. Great job Marty!

[@MartyMusic]

Yes! Thank you!

[@monicapincombe5282]

Props to Marty for interviewing Susan! Just Won't Burn is such a great CD!!! Highly underrated guitar player, singer, songwriter. I've seen her solo and later with the Tedeschi Trucks band. Always brilliant!

[@jerryvahnknight218]

I wish she’d go back to doing her own thing! Those first records were amazing!!

[@kylebrooks4361]

Mad props to Marty for jamming. It must be intimidating knowing that the person you're playing with normally plays with/is married to one of the greatest guitarists alive today.

[@MartyMusic]

yes that is true

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

HAAHAAA I am the same, it's shapes of things for me too Susan!! Hey gotta go to work I needed a job so I found a job and heaven knows I'm miserable now. Please say hello to Bobby T and Alecia for me , I love those two

[@jppagetoo]

The first time I saw Susan was when she opened for Jeff Beck at the Roseland in NYC. Probably March of... 2001? I saw here several more times over the next two years as a solo act. Then she and Derek got married and I saw her quite a few times with the Allmans at the Beacon. I love Susan's music. Just Won't Burn is a killer album, with a lot of top talent on it.

[@TristanBaldi]

Her voice is one of rhe very rare rhat give me goosebumps immediately. What a musician! Thanks for the great interview

[@VeloVagabond]

Thank you so much for this, Marty! The only disappointment is that it's only 10 minutes long. I could listen to her for hours!

[@pjsparks3810]

Really enjoy Susan & Derek’s music … such incredible musicians!! Had the pleasure of seeing them in Austin. Keep up the great work Susan & Derek!!

[@Garciadann]

Awesome to hear her talk about Tim Gearan's influence on her playing he is amazing and is still playing around Boston

[@gohan24667]

i know this is out of the "blues" but can you make a lesson for peter framton do you fell like we do

[@bigbb70]

First time I saw her was early 90's on BB King blues show in Tulsa, Ok. Buddy Guy and Dr. John was there also

[@satchelmouth1]

She reminds me of a great female black musician.

[@TommySprocket]

Great Interview very natural progression with your questions very watchable and I enjoyed every minute of it thanks Marty!

[@padwayj]

Amazing interview and jam with an all time great! Thanks for sharing Marty and big ups to you! You have so many great things going on right now and they are soooo deserved for all you do for the guitar community!

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much

[@jcburger733]

Great Interview with Susan Tedeschi!! Love her voice and hos she plays guitar.

[@patfinnegan467]

Hey Marty, great job! Susan is absolutely one of my favorite people and both of you are so musically compatible. Really nice hearing you two jam. If I sat across from ST and she bobbed her head and smiled at the riff I was playing I would probably pass out and fall out of my chair. You, however, just kept layin' it down! Way to go!

[@MartyMusic]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@abatwood]

Love Susan and Derek. Great folks. Thanks Marty.

[@bjornyesterday2562]

10 minues? Better than 9, i guess!

[@robertyoshimaru9410]

Congratulations on your interview with her!

[@philchapman1463]

Wow you two sound great! You should do an album! Glad you posted this as I had no idea of Susans greatness!

[@peterpitre1503]

Two people I have spent a bunch of time listening and watching, mostly learning from Marty and Loving Susan and Darrel , been to the shows. Thanks Guys

[@chrisford7033]

The voice of an Angel! Love seeing them live!

[@greenjoel70]

Oh man, I love Marty, Sue AND Tim Gearan (such a great singer/songwriter/entertainer & dude). Sue and I are about the same age; I grew up maybe 3 or 4 miles from her…my friends and I used to drive by her house when we were, umm, partaking in a certain herb (we didn’t know it was her at the time but just wanted to see the cool house that the Tedeschi’s had in Norwell). I imagine that - while my friends and I were being delinquents, she was probably diligently practicing in her room 😊. One last thing - I just got the 25th anniversary release of Just Won’t Burn on vinyl 🤌🏼 so good!

[@whiskersb5296]

Love her playing and sound and of course singing. Also, I don’t mean to be sexist, but Marty- get the husband. The husband!

[@dbraden1958]

I feel privileged to have seen Susan playing numerous times in jam sessions at Hole In the Wall (a now defunct dive bar - a dive bar in so many ways, and the stage was so small) in Dallas in the late 90s - the blues there was awesome, after all Susan was there among other fantastic players. She had the stickers on that guitar then - a neat unique look. Seeing Hash Brown, who ran the jam, pick several players out of the crowd to play together, see a short chat among them, then the awesome music come out amazed me. I asked Holland K. Smith (who led a song, and another excellent musician) what they discussed before the son, and he said, "I told them we're going to play a shuffle blues in E starting on the 5 chord". I had no idea people, who often didn't know one another or having ever played with each other, could do that. It was inspiring.

[@wendyhall1395]

Susan with that gravelly singing voice and the sweet sweet baby speaking voice!

[@billvill61]

Living in MA and seeing her for the first time in a very small venue in Cambridge, I thought, man that is a huge voice in such a small package! I also remember hearing her on the radio for the first time and not putting 2 and 2 together, but thinking...man, I love this, who is this woman? That and shopping in Tedeschi convenience stores more times than I can count! So beautiful, so talanted!

[@gavinh1819]

Susan is awesome! Fantastic band 👍

[@maxxblack1525]

i bought that cd in 1998 at the tulsa blues fest when she played with Bb and Buddy g..She has just continued with blues greatness and maturity since. Great interview.

[@Kendo276]

Awesome treat! Just won’t burn is a true gem of an album! I remember the first time I played it after purchasing at Tower Records. From their out I was a Susan T fan! Great to hear her talking about the blues and guitars everything!

[@shadowwei3299]

This was an amazing video! Can you do a tutorial for letterbomb by green day next?

[@Dlee966]

I just got out of my car with her on Spotify. Part of me and sweet soul song to name a few. Tedeschi Trucks make me proud to be from North Florida

[@pdusa1669]

Outstanding Marty! Susan & the Tedeschi Trucks band are one of my favorite bands!

[@billyraychalifoux1938]

Can u please do a lesson on headlock by sticky fingers the acoustic verson

[@oicsaywhat]

I remember when she came out with that album living in Asheville NC, the local radio station played songs off of that album and saw her open up for Buddy Guy and a year later at a small club called Almost Blue she made a guest appearance with Derek Trucks Band, was totally blown away with her voice and her sweet personality. She’s just a gem of a person love love her!!

[@bruceripepi867]

Marty how thrilled were you? And BTW you played great while she soloed.

[@royzkees]

Thanks Marty. Needed this after a long day of work. What an experience it must have been to play with Susan. That voice, my god. epic. keep up the strong work.

[@billr2375]

What a nice person...wow. Humble, kind, nice---and of course a great player and singer. Thanks for this Marty.

[@jimdowns1135]

I love it when you get these artist on with you. Freaking awesome! Thanks Marty'd One!

[@MartyMusic]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Wade6242]

Love Susan

[@edgeofeternity101]

This made my day , and it's almost midnight. Both of you just doing what you do so well. The Tele and the 335 are my favorite guitars, so it was extra special for me, diggin the soulful chops.

[@dougcase4273]

25 years since I bought that CD! Where did the that quarter century go🤔

[@uberjam-sam8512]

Great interview and Jams! Thank you!

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks for listening

[@LJHGuitar]

Hope and desire On my play list Thanks for that Marty!

[@PastaPatate]

RIP Sean Costello, he did some amazing playing on Just Won’t Burn

[@joanlooper2007]

OMG!!! One of the mysteries I’ve been trying to solve is in here, who are all the autographs on Susan’s guitar? Thanks!!!

[@blakehimself2816]

Love Susan and TTB! Tightest live band touring today.

[@alansarasohn6768]

Outstanding!!! What’s the name of the song you play at the top?

[@michaelshearer3559]

Another fan of mid 90's American Standards!

[@timchalmers1700]

I first heard Susan and her band around 2000 when she toured with Buddy Guy and BB King. There were two bands that opened, then Susan and band were third. When I heard her I knew she was on her way to the top. Buddy Guy and BB King were, of course, phenomenal as well. Great day outdoors in Portland, Oregon.

[@SockeyeFish7]

Could you teach the song now and then, by the Beatles?

[@rob9340]

She has talent off the scale! Great player, and that voice gives me goosebumps everytime!

[@peabodymartin5201]

She bought her first American standard tele for 500 bucks. Makes me want to cry.Lol!

[@fernandohenrique5340]

Gosto muito da música de vcs, o sua voz é de mais, uma capacidade vocal hipnotizante. Deveria por o Brasil na próxima turnê, o público aqui é muito grande

[@jonaslinell]

Great! Why do you write “female”?

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

I don't know but I'm pretty sure it's because Susan is in fact a female guitar player

[@stephenwright963]

Great feature. Love Susan.😊

[@jordrand7776]

I saw her playing what was her first "big" gig at an Oregon state park with Delbert McClinton. She was kind of shy and funny but when she started to play ... it was magical. Been a fan ever since. Also, Steve Basset was playing piano and being from Virginia, I went near the front of the stage to holler "Play Sweet Virginia Breeze." I also planned to ask him to ask Delbert to let go of Susan once in a while because he seemed to be clinging to her more than many loud people in the audience liked. I got out one "Hey Steve play Sweet Virginia Breeze" but 2 security guys - big security guys, objected in a convincing way. Told them it was my Birthday, I knew Steve, and Delbert's concert was my best present. Ended up getting 2 free beers and an invitation to celebrate with the band later. My girlfriend rescued me and I found out later they weren't real security guys, but some bikers who had the T-shirts and spent time taking beers from people and fighting. Good times!

[@alansimpson8962]

This lady is a giant in todays music she has it all along with being a top knotch vocalist and then you got her husband probally one of the best gutiarest in modern music history you cant get no better.epic talent.

[@leibundgu0]

[@laobrien4982]

Thank you Susan and Marty for the great conversation and music.

[@turfguy1969]

MARTY How did you get this living legend to interview??!!! She's so talented!

[@MartyMusic]

Great question!!!! I've got good friends!

[@dsmattaphd]

Good job Marty ❤

[@chrismnj]

Hey Marty, some great tunes off of I Am the Moon that would translate to acoustic lessons. La Di Da, I am the Moon, and Where Are My Friends.

[@dusklvr]

❤❤❤❤

[@jurasicrocker1961]

I try to see her every summer the last few years when she tours with Dereck and the band…always one of my favorite nights of the year…Susan is such a talent…

[@wandersjesse]

if Phoebe buffay was a real person

[@nomadman123]

My favourite female singer and ass kicker on the Tele

[@grantgardner5451]

Two of my favorite people in one video

[@lucasnon1070]

Epic. Thanks Marty. What a beautiful human being Susan is. First heard her and Derek at mountain jam the year before they played together. I was like who the heck are these people! The next year they were playing as the tedeschi trucks band and have been following them ever since. What a great musician and one of the best voices out there! Ty!!!!!!!

[@MartyMusic]

Couldn't agree more!

[@emilyh9076]

Loooove her voice. She’s in all my play lists.

[@doomcatmusic]

I saw Derek live with my Dad hes amazing!

[@Lola_Santoro]

Damn! All the great signatures that came off . . . 😳

[@SurrendertheEctypeofficial]

Great work, keep it up. Cheers from STE
