Atlanta musician here. I’ve played with Jimmy several times, and you really can’t say enough good things about him. He sounds effortless no matter what style he’s playing, and is as much fun to be around offstage as on.

[@jimstephens7518]

Yeah man. Met him when he was with Bruce Hampton and the ARU. Super nice guy. We both laughed at how many hours we'd logged listening to Steve Morse.

[@rcjr.7725]

Simply Beautiful I bet he's even a nicer guy then how he plays the real deal thank you

[@evilelf5967]

hell man,not many guitarists make me say...i wanna play with this guy,but yep i'd pick up my sticks for him!!

[@Al-Kwadrone]

Behold folks, if anyone ever made a deal at whatever crossroads, bet this is the guy.

[@REFAPLAYS]

He got duo humbukers, I'm just wondering what kind. Need to get some for my son's fender.

[@bluesful]

It's beyond words how good this is. The tone, the phrasing, the melodic content...........just fantastic.

[@TYarbreaux]

What a small world - I was at this show! My buddy Matt Smith and I (rightmost heads in the audience shot) stood in the front row, jaws open the whole show. Matt actually opened this show with Jeff Sipe, the drummer, as they have a long history together + have recorded together. I think every guitarist in Fayetteville was there that night. Thank you so much for this transcription! Its always good to have more people aware of Jimmy Herring.

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

Was this recent? I see he's playing that Strat with P-90s from the rig rundown ages ago....

[@CAGED1702]

Jimmy Herring and Jack Pearson are two of my all-time favourite guitarists. And yes, they are most underrated, and should be far more known than they actually are. So, thanks for that, Levi!

[@ZeEduardo95]

Jack Pearson is so underrated it is criminal. Also, the fact that the guy constantly plays Squier Bullets nowadays is such a slap in the face for gear elitists. I hope Levi Clay sheds light into the skills of Jack sooner or later. Finally, his slide playing sound is the closest to that of Duane Allman in the Brothers.

I has just about to comment on Jeff Sipe on drums. What a great lineup.

[@60zeller]

If the drummer has a lot of ability he sure is hiding it.

[@theredstash]

Since Ive been Lovin has always been my favorite Jimmy Page solos. I feel like the song maybe goes under the radar when it comes to epic Zepp tunes... i guess there are a lot to choose from. Might be my fav Blues solo alll time because of how big of an impact it had on my development as a player. This take on the changes was a master class. Top shelf

[@robertashton8069]

Right there with ya, bro! Also love Greg Koch's cover of this!

[@adamreaves4228]

He is a gem in the jam band scene. When I first heard him he was playing with The Dead at Bonnaroo. He is an amazing guitarist.

[@roncollins6259]

What year at Bonnaroo? I was there in 2004 and remembered Warren Hayes playing with The Dead. I was a little "off". Was Jimmy there also? I remember it raining its ass off, right before The Dead took stage. Following Dave Mathews and friends the night before was tough for anyone.The Dead were good. But Dave Mathews and Tim Reynolds playing Dancing Nancies was a highlight in my concert going life. Tim is a monster player

[@DrumsTheWord]

Great drummer as well!

[@RowanGroen]

From all the dozens of solos i see everyday, how fast, complicated etc etc it is, i never am impressed actually. But this really got me. This is really good! This is music!

[@Dogsrule777]

I’ve been seeing Jimmy since I was a kid in high school when he was in “Colonel Bruce Hampton and the aquarium rescue Unit”. His playing has always blow me away. His use of swells in his solo here is insanely cool!

[@seanemmettfullerton]

Wow! Levi, thanks for this... He's soooo relaxed and laid back with the phrasing, creating an elastic stretchy sense of time. Excellent...

[@HVYMTL333]

Lucky enough to see Jimmy with Col. Hampton and A.R.U. more times than I can count in the early 90's here in B'ham, AL. I would stand in front Jimmy's amp and have my face melted at The Nick! His work in Jazz is Dead is outstanding... And after He made some amazing music with Phil Lesh Quintet ("the Q") in the early 2000's. You can find all this stuff on KZbin - including some early A.R.U. Also his album Lifeboat - the title track with Derek Trucks is a thing of powerful beauty! One of my top three favorite guitarists of all time!

Be sure to check out widespread panic, jimmy’s main gig. Jimmy is the band’s third lead guitarist, so look for live shows and albums released post-2006. Don’t sleep in Mikey’s stuff up until 2002. 2002-2006 didn’t happen.
