“I think it’s safe to say John Osborne is a f****** beast!”
That’s how Chris Shiflett kicks off this episode of Shred With Shifty, featuring bearded Brothers Osborne shredder-in-chief John Osborne. Osborne joins Shifty to dissect his blistering country-rock ripping on the band’s breakout single, “Stay A Little Longer.”
Osborne tells Shifty about failing miserably at guitar in college, where he learned to read and play bass clef but never got the hang of the treble clef. It’s no surprise when Osborne admits he’s taken notes from players like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dickey Betts, Eric Johnson, and Skynyrd shredders Allan Collins and Gary Rossington, but his very first guitar influence? Kurt Cobain, and the Nirvana frontman’s anxious energy. “I’m a little bit awkward, and I have social anxiety, but I can talk to people through music,” says Osborne. As far as technicality, though, he and Shifty agree that bluegrass guitar playing is “the Usain Bolt of musicianship.”
To recap the “Stay A Little Longer” leads, Osborne plays a stock blackguard 1953 Fender Telecaster that he scooped from Carter Vintage Guitars. (Listen in to learn why it and some other Fenders from that era have an abnormally thick “Friday neck.”) He explains that he wanted the solo to have the same philosophy as legendary solos like those in “Free Bird” and “Hotel California”: hooky, repetitive, accented, and not too shreddy. Plus, he reveals the “un-Photoshopped” blips in the solo that stayed on the record.

During covid lockdown I came across his guitar playing watching a rig rundown, and have been trying to play this song correctly . I’ve never paid attention to country music before, but both his brothers voice and his on guitar blows me away

These interviews are awesome! I love how John gives a lesson, isn’t afraid to make mistakes and Shifty doubles down on the risk taking in public view. Excellent work gentlemen!

EASILY one of the greatest solos of all time. I get goosebumps every single time. Fits the song so unbelievably well on top of just being technically incredible. It even makes me laugh at one section!

Yes!!! This solo has HAUNTED me since it first came out. I've tried to learn it multiple times and I've never gotten some of these licks exactly right. Gonna have to carve out a few hours for this one!

Brothers Osborne are my absolute favorite band and I think this session with John highlighted exactly why! Every time I hear one of them speak, sing, or play, I can’t help but root for them. Also, saw them in concert a few months ago and daaaaamn

First time I heard this solo was live at Red Rocks. Bros were opening for Stapleton and I wasn’t familiar. After the solo, I was like “what in the world was that?” And have been hooked since. What an amazing player!

This has always been the way we do these things. Egos out the door when we are learning. For the laymen this is soooo valuable to have this stuff laid out for ya. I am old enough to have had to take the needle on and off the record 500 times to cop Jeff Beck lol. Enjoy these everyone. Koodos to these two very fine players and cats!!!

The thicker neck is where the tone is my man, just warmer he’s so right. So many have different opinions about heavier guitar, lighter guitar better tone etc. However, after playing for over 35 years working in a high end shop, doing set ups and repairs, playing thousands of new, old, vintage guitars etc. Imho the best tone is a chunky dry “tempered or roasted if new”( Play some Novos) neck and a very thin finish on a dry ( roasted or tempered body) if new. Love the Friday necks. Great interview, incredible talent the both of you. Thank you x10!

This is so great. I needed this and love the regular dude approach. P.S. I have no idea who this guitarist is at all. I am going to go check them out. I was just so amazed how chill this show is. This guy is just like me hanging with my regular buds. So refreshing. Like if he came over I would pour him one from my kegerator and grill an extra steak!

Hey Chris! Huge fan here. Not sure if you remember me but you asked me for a place for 22 Jacks after a show in Ft. Lauderdale. I was 14 lol!!! Anyway I wanted to let you know that I'm in a Me First tribute band and learning your solos has been a blast...especially the one for I Will Survive and Summertime. Did you record both of those?

If you can find it, the demo version of Stay A Little Longer is even better than the release version, imo. Every bit as epic; just a little more concise. My favorite part is that climb that they kinda lifted from the Allman Brothers' Whipping Post, where it goes up, and up and up and then just EXPLODES. I also love the false ending that precedes it. I'll be mining this for more nuggets, cuz I'm a huge fan of licks that are easier than they sound; you don't want to be looking at your fingers the whole time, in case some gal's bewbs fall out of her top.

There are "Friday afternoon frames" in the hand-made cycling (bicycle frame manufacturing) industry - and it's a real thing. However, you DO NOT want one of those. I will gladly trade my beautiful (but deadly) hand-made Italian carbon-fiber Friday afternoon bike frame for anyone's 50s-vintage Friday Tele (and yes, preferably stock but then again, I'm not that good to be so fussy but I, too, have big "third-baseman" hands). (PS - Fun interview!)

Its not a friday neck, 53,s are known for having fuller necks. Back in the day the 53 always cost more than other years because of that. Your welcome children

@PeterTrauth-xf9wf 2 ай бұрын

I was playing those licks 50 years ago compliments of Jeff Beck. Musicians are so not today that when someone like John steps up it's like WOW! When they are nothing special at all. It's just that guitar is not very poplular any more and there is little talent as before. He is a recent collector, Friday necks??? as are many so be careful with whom you do business with...
