77 years old and sharp as a tack, a true rock and roll survivor. Thanks for doing this Sped, great way to start my day :)

I love this. Chris played on my favorite album, Harmony Row. Thanks for doing this, Sped!

This is fantastic, in fact the only thing wrong with it…..is it’s not long enough 😀. I’d watch a series of it, beautifully put together as always 👍

So good to see Chris and hear some of his tales. Always held him in very high regard. Would be great to see/hear more from him. Well done Sped. Brilliant idea and exquisite production.

Haha nice one Sped!! I enjoyed that. Chris is a national treasure - I’m eternally grateful I got to tour for a year with him back in 2017. Proper legend, yet a genuine lovely guy.

Super fan of CS. Some great interview moments here, surprisingly fluid and open.

Nicely done! Not only did you answer the first question old farts like me have when we first see your name, but you also got a great interview from Chris. And the standing desk seems to be working well. 🙂

This is great, and very well produced. Kudos.

Really enjoyed this interview. I stumbled on Sped's site and asked myself the same question. I saw CS when he was playing in Sharks, supporting Roxy Music around 1973 at the Liverpool Empire. Andy Fraser was the bass player for Sharks after Free folded. I've seen CS play a couple of times since on various Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry tours. A lovely guy who doesn't seem unduly affected by stardom.

Great interview Sped!

That was wonderful, what an amazing career Chris has had. Thank you.

Great video, loved the beginning, and thanks for including my question. Got a good, interesting answer too. As Steve Sharp said below, the stand-up desk looks good and allowed for more movement when you responded to Chris's comments which was fun. PS '58 was the best year. Some very original creatives in the 1958 Club. Plus the occasional weird old fat as well. 😎

The intro 👌 😂 another great video sped 🤙

Nice, one of the hardest working blokes in the music industry.

Old School!!! Love it! Born in 1968, a teenager in the early 80s, I may be an anomaly but prefer the recording and tone and gear (for the most part..) and work-ethic and tone of the pre-MTv music in general. Exceptions (of course) but my gear and playing and what I listen to is pretty much what he is talking about. Sped, anyone else you might be related to that you need to interview???

Very groovy, informative thank you

Wow. Wow. Enough said. Great content. We always learn.

What an excellent interview, Sped! I picked up your channel from the Stairway solo vid (which I cannot play!), and like many other people wondered if you were related to the great session man that is Chris Spedding... now we know!

One of the greatest guitarists ever. Thanks for this.

Magnificent. Turn it into a weekly podcast please.

Great episode... epic! Man, that live playing with Roxy Music was sublime! Here in USA Chris is not nearly as well know as he should be.

oh man! i feel like such a fool for asking you that question. fascinating interview. he has played on so many songs i love and with musicians i admire. thank you!

That intro was hilarious man 😂 Good stuff… I do agree with him about SG’s as well, for me they are just so comfortable to play and sound fantastic ( In my not so humble opinion lol )!

Great! Thanks a lot for that. His playing on "Consul at Sunset" is outstanding.

That was great.

Saw him at St. Andrews Uni in the late 70s - he was excellent. Really good video; fun and informative, although I was hoping at the end you were going to say something like, "Thanks, Uncle Chris."

Lol... you ended up in my suggestions. I really enjoyed your welcome to the jungle video . Saw your name and immediately went to see if chris spedding was your father.

Very cool stories, i had no idea.. could listen to Chris for hours.. can't believe you mentioned my name and the Womble question, i'm so ashamed (but what an answer!!!)..

Hahaha Chris Spedding might have missed his calling as a comedian/actor. I thought he might be related to Walter Matthau in the opening 😂😂😂😂

Some great work. A really cool cat with a fascinating career history. 😎I loved The Wombles!

What a career! Spedding has done so much great work! There are rumours, or theories if you will, that a fair bit of Spedding's guitar playing can be heard on Nevermind The Bollocks.

My son and I met Chris in Glasgow a few years ago after a War of the Worlds concert. A great player and absolute gentleman. My son after that show made it his quest to learn all of Chris’s lines.

Sped - Check out The Battered Ornaments! “Mantle Piece” is my favorite album Chris Spedding played and sang on! His voice on it reminds me of the singer from Blur 🤘🏼

Brilliant Sped 👌🏼

What a lovely chap, shame that you're not actually related! And fabulous stories from the real golden era, i.e., my era - I have to feel almost sorry for those who didn't live through the 70's in particular when music and trends were constantly changing and advancing....the only down side for those of us that did is that we no longer have our youth (and that means up to the age of 40 to me....). Would have liked to hear more about Chris's time working with Bryan Ferry around 2010/11 - what a superb band of musicians gathered together at the time. Chris's stories that he had time to recount here left me with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye of pure happiness! Rock On, and can we hear more from Chris please??

Some memories! :) singing this in the school playground at lunchtime back in the 70s 🎸 ♫♪♫ ', motorbikin', motorbikin', motorcycling Movin' on the queens' highway Lookin' like a streak of lightnin' If you gotta go, go, gotta go motorbike ridin' ♪♫♬

Great Video. I am from the States and always wondered if the roots of the family were any relation to myself. Grandparents always said we came from the UK. Natural musician myself ( Not as legendary as Chris…lol ) Ian Patrick Spedding.

Chris’ playing on Roy Harper’s HQ album is my favourite of his. ‘Hallucinating Light’ most of all. & while most of ‘The Game’ (epic opening track) is David Gilmour, the insane *scorcher* of a slide solo towards the end is all Chris. Jah Bless. Steve.

oh well....quite the studio / session legend there.....oh the "good" old days....when things really happened....and people turned out music like on a production line... well done....cheers...

I once cleaned his house in wimbledon when i was working for an agency . I always remember the lights all around the bathroom mirror !.

That was hilarious. I'll watch the video when I stop laughing.

I've always thought it

Spiittin image! Can't fool me. It's in the blood!

I got it. You're brothers 👍😊

Chris has had such a magnificent career. Worked with some top musicians. I first heard his name mentioned in a Sex Pistols documentary and then he kept popping up everywhere. The War Of The Worlds stuff is right up there for me, the guitar work is brilliant.

I first learned of Chris Spedding in1988 when I was 20 yrs. old, and he played the most soulful solo on the extended 2+ minute outro of "Man With A Gun" by Jerry Harrison & Casual Gods. Just amazing. Time stamp goes to the 4 min mark, but the entire song is great, and even greater with Chris' outro: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6qFgKhpsNXGh2g.html I always envisioned him playing it on a simple Telecaster. I got to talk to Jerry Harrison about it when I ran into him after a No Doubt show in Long Beach, CA, USA. Even Jerry said he didn't have a copy of it [on CD] as it was a special mix, just on an Australian CD Single. Year's earlier, KROQ would play "the full guitar version" and that's how I fell in love with it. [Had to call in and ask DJ Swedish Egil where I could find it, as it wasn't on the two movie soundtracks, nor the LP.] Aussie eBay was my salvation. Thank you Egil, thank you Jerry, thank you Sped, and THANK YOU CHRIS!

Well.. that answers all my questions. And a good thing in favour of both speddings is you both have beautiful heads of hair 😀

Interesting guy form a bygone era. But, all his tricks and licks are still being played to this day. Cool that you're able to pick his brain and get some of those old stories on "tape". The beginning was funny. Thought the old dude was really punkin ya for a sec. Haha

I nearly asked this question once but decided it would just be irritating 😅. Chris is a great guitar player.

Funny video:) i have a couple questions if you dont mind? Your Gibson LP, is it a Classical,Standard or Traditional? Aand Will you at a point do a `How to play` episode on the BBC Live version of `Thank You`? The solo on that version is probably my favourite solo of Mr Page. Many thanks for your videos, they are top quality and with humour. Greetings from Norway:))

I’m only 5 minutes in but wanted to say that this was a super cool idea for a video! I will pop back in to finish the video after I finish my working day 😁. Keep up the great work Sped! P.S. if you get a chance, I just released my first original tune of 2022 and would love to know your thoughts. It’s on my channel titled “In over my head”. Cheers! 😁🎸

Hey mate, i think you need to write a song for the old adversary, Shane Warne, apart from bowling a lot of maiden overs he bowled over one of your fairest maidens! RIP Warney

Isn't Chris the one who did "Guitar Jamborie"?

i want john cale goss

Chris Spedding is not his original name. Peter Robinson was his birth name. He is a great guitarist. I actually have his old Music Man 210 amp.

Speddie spending what axname anyway

I refuse to believe that these two men are not related. They both have the same name!

I wonder if Danny Page is related to....... ? 😱

Spoiler alert !! he's his dad !!! 😅😂🤣🎸🔊🎶

So you're not Chris Spedding???

chris used to be quite cute
