Man I just love it when I stumble across a gem like this on youtube. I was one of the millions of teens that started playing electric guitars in the mid 60's, inspired by guitar playing like Mr. Shelton's on so many songs of that era. It's a gift he gave me and I still enjoy to this day very much. Especially now, when we are under stay-at-home orders. If it weren't for guitar playing I'd probably go nuts. Sincere gratitude to you Mr. Shelton. You did a really good job with this Rick, especially considering it was the first interview you did and an impromptu get-together. I was spellbound the entire video. Thanks to you as well, take care. I'll be watching for the next time you get together with Mr. Shelton.

I have a 1952 Tele. The newer ones - even late 50s, don't compare. There's one reason why they are SO valuable. They are not so thin and spiky, although they are still like a Tele. They have wooden warmth, kind of a sweetness - as you can hear here. They tend to be lighter (not much paint or lacquer at all) and easier to play than many later ones.

Louie Shelton, "Pickin' The Chicken" and Excellent Ect. !!! 👍😎🎸😀 Chet Atkins, Merl Travis, Flat & Scrubs, Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell, so many greats without a bunch of effects or massive amps just pure Master Guitar Musicianship !!! Louie Shelton played at the Jamboree Barn where a lot of the greats came to play passing through town headed to or coming from other gigs and wherever s else. I was in a band with my bass player and another guitarist best friends. We didn't have a drummer for a few years. We were fortunate to get to sit in with the house band and those who showed up to play at the local Jamboree Barn here in Arkansas years ago. I borrowed my neighbors '52 Tele just like on this video. My neighbors band tried to get us to join their band but we just sat in with them at jam nights and they snuck us into bar playing midweek and weekend nights. We were at a BBQ, and my neighbor's pet goat ate the '52 Tele all to hell and the owner BBQ'd the goat, aw man that guitar was "My Precious" that got turned into Firewood. The electronics and hardware was the only items worth saving from the guitar. I made a necklace and bracelet and hang chain for my new Carvin electric guitar that I got for high school graduation. Man, you just do not find guitarists hardly here in Arkansas to play tunes , especially as the likes of Louie Shelton !!! These were the guitarists that I idolized growing up as I was learning to play guitar and headed on into other music styles and genres over the years. It's all the Legends come and gone and those still with us that got most all Music where it is present day and into the beyond . . . I wonder if Louie Shelton ever played or jammed with Pedal Steel Innovator "Zane Beck" ??? That fellow was a Master Musician and Luthier as well !!!

Great interview. Love all of it. Louie is just fantastic. You can always tell a natural musician like Louie. I’m a ok bass player. Still playing. You only come across a “Louie” every once in a while.

What a lovely guy. Talent in bucket loads yet very generous in his acknowledgement of others he learned from. I'm glad to hear he started playing at 9 years old. I can now genuinely claim I'm such a poor player because I didn't start early enough!

A real treat watching a master. I know so many guys that think they can really play. They cant do any of what he is doing

A legend. It's hard to make a guitar sound more like a guitar than Louie does.

His most memorable playing for me was on the Monkey's tune "Valerie." Aside from Jimmy Bryant I had never heard anybody play that fast, clean, and melodic all at once back then.

Thank you so much for preserving this history.

Thanks for doing this. Louie has been and is still a guitar idol for me.

You're welcome, Ron. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Hi there, thank you for the information. I'll do my best to be there🙏

Great interview. Learned a lot. Very interesting to hear Mr Shelton explain what he is thing when he plays. Interesting also to see Mr Shelton switching between classical position to hold the guitar (between his legs) and conventional modern position (on one leg).

Louie Shelton and Jay Graydon. I can't find enough clips of them and I feel like I've viewed hundreds. I seriously can't get enough of these extraordinary talents!

[@RickHollis]

Maybe I should reach out to Jay for a live chat on the podcast.

When you mic’d it up I got the exact same feeling as when you’re at a restaurant, really hungry, and you see your server walk up with your food
