I met Walter back in 2020 at the NAMM Show and was totally stoked. I asked him if I could have a pic, he hesitated a second while reaching in his pocket and gave me one of his signature picks 😀And my dumb ass meant a selfie - glad he was so old school! Holding it dearly! AND got a selfie afterwards - coolest dude ever 😀and absolute shredder!

I came across Walter when i was on deaths door with intestinal failure. Since surgery and being fed directly into my bloodstream i now play the guitar and Walter has become a huge influence to my playing.

I saw John Mayall and Walter play in the late 80s. One of the best gigs ever. Mayall in those days was at his peak..fit, energetic..stood at a keyboard had a guitar slung over his back, harmonica holder and singing..pretty much did it all. Walter had to be good, or he wouldn't have been asked to Join..Mayall always finds the who's who of guitarists in every decade. living legend..seen him a few years ago..still doing it.

Thank to Walter for delivering one of the most honest, straightforward and constructive testimony ever. A huge thank you to Lee for putting him at ease and offering us such a tasteful moment . A nearly one hour well spent that sums up many aspects of on and off life. I'm just wondering which book Carlos Santana gave Walter to read ?

@piotrgoacki9070 4 жыл бұрын

I guess people can't really associate a specific sound with the middle pickup, bridge harsh and somewhat thin and neck sweet,fat great for soloing. My favourite lead was always neck+middle. But I've always thought all the combination are interesting and fun

@_RLP 4 жыл бұрын

Good one. I dig it a lot too, actually, but it depends on the set. Not all strat sets have good middle pickups. Cheers, bro'

@larsfrederiksen3005 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's fun to see it used for solo'ing.. I've always used it for more "funky" rhythm stuff like the intro to Superstition etc. (which I'd rather play on the middle position of a Tele, but you don't always have a Tele when someone wants to play the more funky stuff :-) )

Wonderful video, your best yet. I used to be a huge Walter Trout fan, but then went to a ‘bad gig’ one day. It put me off his music. He was grumpy on stage and the vibes were bad. That was 15 years or more ago, and I just quit listening to his music. I almost didn’t watch this video, but I’m so pleased I did. What a lovely guy, with all those wise stories. After a bit of a break, I’m a Walter Trout fan again, and I need to get my album collection up to date too. Great video.

Great interview. I've been a Walter Trout fan since I first saw him with Mayall 35 years ago. I knew of his near death saga but I had no idea of his history before Mayall. What a story! Someone needs to do a movie about his life while he is still around to play the soundtrack. I submit that you will NEVER find 2 co-lead players as great as Walter Trout and Coco Montoya with the Bluesbreakers. Seeing them live transcended guitar, blues, music of any kind, or art of any kind. The sound of Strat & Flying V, the emotion...it was just magic. Bless you Walter, play on!

He’s very good at asking just the right question, whilst being tactful and always with plenty of integrity. It’s testament to his professionalism in these situations. Hats off. It’s fantastic. And Walter, what a player and a real personality for sure.
