Jun 20, 2007 - i always love kenny wayne shepherd..yes, this one is little fast..i prefer the original one..

Jul 23, 2007 - Not to be too critical of anybody, but I'd love to hear what he'd come up with without always falling back on all of the SRV licks. Kenny plays good, but in my opinion; we have SRV's music. Let's hear something new man, something original. To me, excessive imitation is artistic suicide...People liked Stevie because he was unique, not just a Hendrix clone. I'd rather be an original nobody, than a copycat somebody...Let's hear new stuff Kenny!!!

Oct 4, 2007 - i saw kenny this past summer with pat travers & lynyrd skynyrd,& he kicked ass. it's true that he has been influenced by other players, who hasn't, but to say "excessive imatatiion ",, dude,, are you just brain dead or just stoopid ? hell stevie copied jimi. & to say he played a song a little too fast,,, you've obviously never played onstage for a live crowd,, you feed off their energy, if you are so anal that you HAVE to play such a song at exactly so many bpm, you mite as well shoot yourself

Oct 14, 2007 - You mean Hendrix's licks, don't you?

guitarthroat Says:

Oct 14, 2007 - No, I mean SRV's licks. Jimi and SRV both used pentatonic scales, but Stevie had his own brand of licks that Jimi didn't really use the same way. Kenny uses almost identical ones continually from Stevie's vocabulary. If you use pentatonic/blues scales, you will sound similar to other players using only those scales.

guitarthroat Says:

Oct 14, 2007 - So, he has been written off by many as a Vaughanabe primarily because he borrows too heavily from Stevie's sound and style. So in my own OPINION, duplication is cheesey. I admire originality and people who create new directions in music. If everyone just copied everyone else...Man would that get boring!!!

AvengingAngel6 Says:

Dec 23, 2007 - My remark was directed towards the jerk who calls himself noxematapioca - no insult to you jrbluesy or KWS!

Jan 8, 2008 - He does not sound exactly like stevie ray vaughan, he sounds like him sometimes only because he is his main influence. to say they are the same is just ignorant, you must not listen to stevie ray vaughan or kenny much, there is no denying his talent as a writer and player.

Jan 11, 2008 - I love this song!! My son wants to learn guitar because of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang. anyone know of the best guitar to learn on?or does it matter?

samjad1 Says:

Jan 25, 2008 - In most cases, people will start out with an acoustic guitar. On the other hand, electric guitar is easier on the hands, simply because the strings aren't as thick (until the kid builds up calluses on his fingertips).

mamalovestorock Says:

Jan 26, 2008 - thanks for the reply, we are getting him an acoustic on his birthday. someone else suggested it as well.he is really eager to learn and has the hands for it too.lol kenny wayne is a good inspriration!!!

ThatDrunkGuitarGuy Says:

Jun 6, 2008 - learn on an acoustic first , its harder to play but less discouraging ... Great for learning , on a side note does anyone else think the singer here is Glen Danzigs illegitimate son?

ottoman3510 Says:

Jun 22, 2008 - If he up grades to electric, go with a Les Paul, I've had 5 guitars and nothing give that pure blues rock sound like a Les Paul.

jesusprestly Says:

Jul 13, 2008 - theres nuthing a les paul can do that a telecaster cant.. (slightly biast opinion)

pmhblock Says:

Aug 29, 2008 - WOW! I don't know who Glen Danzigs is, but I just looked up his photo on Wikipedia and Noah Hunt looks EXACTLY like him! How weird!
