What a beautiful tone and touch he has -- which flows from his heart, of course.
Actually, from his soul -- sorry!
Parts of this feel a lot like "Riviera Paradise" -- I bet he and SRV would have had some fantastic fun playing off of each other!
Brian is one of the best and unfortunately gets forgotten by a lot of people or just thought of as a "Rock-a-billy" artist. Well, they all need to take another look. Oh! He just qouted from "Little Wing" in the outtro!!
Can't wait for the X-mas show!

Simply the best there is! Check out the awesome volume swells around 3:00 and later on, no pedals boys! Just a man and his beautiful Gretsch 6120. Joe Satriani uses a slide (cheap). The aggressive leads 1:30-1:55 rock then the smooth leads on the neck pickup later are genius. I also love the natural tube feedback he gets off the amps toward the end. Just an awesome arrangement for the whole orchestra.

SLides have there place in blues and for steel guitar (which was what the orignal was trying to imitate). I just think Setzer does a better job and certainly is a consummate showman. Slides are great for lots of southern rock and new country too. However, to get the sound and swell with just the volume knob and not sound "cheesy"- well that is why Brian is making the bucks and we're commenting on YouTube.

Which original? The version I am familiar with is done by the Ventures, who copied off of someone else. I just think Satriani needs to what he does best and leave the old style and big band to Setzer.

Thanks for the info. I know he uses a Space echo. I found one at Guitar Center in mint condition. Roland makes a new version which is pretty close, but the vibe of having vintage equipment is just too cool. Brian uses 2 Fender 59' Bassman amps to complete his sound.

They call us the peanut gallery for a reason. Talent like Brian can, sometimes, make the good money, but most are satisfied just to make a living at what they do. The rest of us earn "peanuts" for our comments & observations. No talent or smarts required to be a peanut, but it does allow many of us to say "thank you" to talent like Brian.
Actually, from his soul -- sorry!
