[@rickdeckard1075]

this guy is literally finger-picking a hendrix song while dressed as a grown-up eddie munster and maximizing the utility of his widow's peak to that end....this is what makes America great, bitches....

[@matthewmeek4289]

He also does the voice of Early Cuyler

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

@@thedukeofswellington1827 He torpedoed his career by saying some pretty shitty things on Twitter a few years ago. Too bad, because he is a ripping player and a really nice guy in person. Methinks he was battling alky-hall and got online on a bender.

It's hard to play Hendrix songs well, but holy crap: Doing Voodoo Chile on a Rickenbacker 620 is like some kind of sick Evel Knievel stunt.

[@nickshaw6085]

Yeah, he fuckin' landed it too!

[@michaelhenderson5074]

Lol @Rickenbacker 620. Great cleans, but pedaled up with some fuzz and OD, Evil Knievel indeed, lol. Looks like stock nickel covers, but who knows what is under them?

Big time

[@curtisyastic4130]

Not underrated to professionals. Every time he played Nashville, sold out with every hot shot player in town and every other player on down the line.

The character belies the man. He was a music teacher and a musician he knows a thing or two.

​@@pb12661@jr2904 y'all don't get it. That's an old Unknown joke from years ago where he says anybody can play rock, but it takes real talent to play Country and Western. "A damn fifteen year old punk can play that mess."

[@micism5194]

Damn! Early Cuyler plays a mean guitar. Playin Hendrix to boot. Woooo!

[@bs27v1b]

I saw Unknown Hinson play with the Reverend Horton Heat at 1st ave in Minneapolis a few years ago. He didn't open for the Rev. he played with them. He will blow you and the Reverend away. Many many years of playing live music and pure talent on display. Just an all around great show. For some reason The Reverend Horton Heat finds really great people to play with.

[@jeffdubberly1383]

Never seen Hinson, but I finally got a chance a few years back to see Rev. So so good! I bet it was a trip to see and hear them play together!

[@Rolexpert]

Come on man he is one of the FINEST country western troubadours left ...SON ..😂

Blow the Reverend away? I love Unknown Hinson, but you obviously don’t know how good Jim Heath is on guitar

[@bs27v1b]

@@jackdempsey9644 I've seen the Reverend many many times. I bet the "Rev" is Impressed by this cartoon guitar player. It was a great show. But the Reverend always picks great bands to play with.

[@smartacus88]

Play's it with soul and effortlessly at the same time, a true virtuoso.

[@billwillard6828]

I've seen him 3 times in 15 years with his band, but now he's been doing sideman duty for others, most recently in Billy Bob Tornton's BoxMasters. I've been doing sound for 30 years (including one of Thornton's hero's) and with players like this, I'd work that tour in a heartbeat!

God he's getting a GREAT sound out of that Rick! Hinson can play ANYTHING, it seems. I love his quirky country, but it's good to hear him open up once in awhile. Talkin' about shredding it!

[@stillbill6408]

Rickenbacker 620's have a phenomenal tone (especially through a Vox valve amp) which are overly stereotyped as a "one trick pony"/rhythm guitar (only) and under utilized as a lead/shred guitar IMHO. This video says it all.

[@jaybaker9248]

It's clearly a rick

[@jaybaker9248]

I know he "plays" reverend

[@mikethemaniac1]

Jay Baker they're all copies of successful companies body shapes from what I've seen, so it seems logical to me that they copied a rick. and all the reverends that I've seen seem to have P-90's in them as well.

[@jaybaker9248]

Well, Reverend has a few familiar shapes. The Tom Anderson eastsider is a tele, but for the most part Reverend makes a lot of original designs. They do use a ton of p 90s but they don't make a Rick copy. I would say most of what they do would be derivative but not "copies".".
