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 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.

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.

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 ?

Been seeing Walter for 30 years. When I saw him at Holmfirth 3 years ago, I couldn't see how he would get through the show without dying. I cried and cheered like never before. The man is a blues warrior. He has faced true adversity and kicked it up the arse. Never shy of coming out and talking to the fans after a show. Just a great great man. Thank you Walter and Fuck the American healthcare system that denied you what you needed. I always knew that you had the family and friends to help and your recovery has been inspiring. I know one day you and the strat will go make music with Jimmy again, but I want to see you a whole load more times before that !!!!

@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'

Walter can make any pickups good. Now you know.

@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 :-) )

A true blues legend in my book.

I came across Battle Scars (cold cold ground and Gonna live again) when i was on my death bed back in 2019, purely just though browsing through Apple Music. Since being brought back from the brink being kept alive by being fed directly into my blood stream for the rest of my life and having to deal with multiple ongoing issues. I started to learn to play the guitar. Now Walter is a huge inspiration to me I am going to see him this year (2024 when he tours UK)
