Having known and worked with Kenny off and on for 20+ years I can assure you his ability to play any style authentically is amazing. Jazz, blues, Hendrix/Beck/Page he can kill it all. Everyone on that stage are great players and people. Great breakdown Fil.

This says a hell of a lot about Marty as well. A frontman who seems to genuinely support his band mates.

This cat is one of the nicest people on KZfaq. He has an appreciation for music far different from the type he plays, and he always has valuable things to point out about other's talents and techniques. BTW; that alteranting bass string lick is called the Mother Mabel lick, invented by Mother Maybel Carter, June Carter's mother, who passed it on to Johnny Cash, who, in turn, passed it on to Marty, in particualr, and the world, in general.

Kenny Vaughan is a fantastic guitarist , thanks for featuring him.

2:12 Always love seeing top musicians like Marty look over and smile when another band memeber does something sweet...

I met Marty and Kenny in a Colorado State Park. They were filming a promo for an upcoming event and I just happened to cross their path. Marty and his beautiful hair! And Kenny was just like you see him in this video. Great players and nice gents!

Not just a the best country band,the best band period.

Saw Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives in Tulsa November 3...they are amazing.

I love the Fabulous Superlatives. Roger McGuin has performed with them as well. Marty Stuart wants all his musicians to shine.

I've been watching a lot of Otis Gibbs' interviews. Many of them are with Kenny. One thing I've come to appreciate about him is that he seems to be, first and foremost, a true student of his craft. Like next level willingness to learn.

I am looking forward to seeing Kenny and Marty tomorrow night here in Jacksonville Florida… also, a happy addition to their unit these days is the amazing Chris Scruggs! Playing bass guitar of all things ! These guys have got to be one of the most smoking, face-melting musical groups in the world these days

Just caught up to this one. Thanks! Kenny's yet another of these "Aw, shucks" monster players who tear it up like no one else's business as easily as rolling out of bed. Of course it's years of practice to make it seem that easy, but, MAN, can he play! And it says a lot about Marty that he has no ego about it. A brilliant player himself, he's all about letting Kenny rip as much as he wants. They're an INCREDIBLE band!

Phil, I have noticed when you are genuinely enjoying and appreciative of the talent, you talk fast with genuine enthusiasm and joy-----you seem to become a fan

I think I have said this before. One day, we are going to see you wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots and singing with a country twang. 😂😂. As many have commented, we appreciate your recognition of any talented musician no matter the genre.

Nice...thanks for featuring this band, I have seen them several times live and they put on a great old time country show. Everybody in Marty's band is top notch and can bring it all day long. Marty on mandolin is a whole nother experience, he really gets down in that tight nasty place. They all stand up and carry it, and meld great together as well.

Always love watching anything Marty Stuart is on He is a true Country Musican

I'd like to mention the bass player who often gets overlooked--Paul Martin. He's an excellent guitarist an incredible singer, he was a headliner earlier in his career and could easily be again. I don't know why he left Marty but he gave his professionalism in every performance.

I was flipping through the channels on the TV a few years ago and came across a rerun of The Marty Stuart show. I knew of Marty and his reputation but didn't know his music. The guest that time was Roger McGuinn. They played a couple of the early Byrds songs and it was fantastic. I started tuning in to those reruns when I could (RFD TV or something like that). It didn't take long to see what a great band that was. I still didn't know about Kenny and at some point came across something on KZfaq about him and have been a huge fan ever since.

I really like this , being a guitar player for 40 years , it’s good to see a rock player having such respect for these guys

FYI- Chris Scruggs switched to playing bass after the bass player there left the band. Very talented multi-instrumentalist.

I can see it now Fil goes country and the crowd goes wild!

Sometimes watching Fil it's so damn much fun you might think it's illegal.

I saw Marty and Kenny last week in Amsterdam. They blew me away! What great musicians and yes Marty brought the Clarence Tele!

This music is a bunch of fun! How sensational is Kenny---and Marty and all the band! And Some Guy's analysis pretty sensational, too! ❤️

Love Marty..and his musicians...Marty Stuart was supposed to play at the Missouri State Fair last summer...but the Evil Covid-19 postponed the performance.....thanks Fil

Cousin Kenny is totally bad ass but so is Marty. Both guys are TOTAL bad asses because they know how to play their parts as the situation requires. Man for man, the talent level of this outfit is off the charts.

Even back in Denver over 30 years ago,, Kenny Vaughn was always the best around.. all styles. A great friend ever since

It's hard for me to like country music but your videos make appreciate country music so I guess that's a start!

They're all amazing musicians and when you see them live you can see they're totally enjoying themselves, the audience sense that and it brings everything to a new level. Our band plays Hot Like That, it's a great number to perform, if I could only get to 10% of Kenny and Marty's skill level I'd be happy! Thanks for your video, I really like the format.

He's a bloody great guitarist, Kenny seems like a real nice guy too.

There is just something so beautiful about a Telecaster with no pedals and that pure deep clean tone. The older I get the more I like rock-a-billy.

kenny and Marty got me hooked on true country style music, as a classically trained piano player myself it boggles my mind watching both these guys play. i loved your break down.

WOW....another nifty analysis of one of my favorite musicians!! Kenny is terrific--and so was your analysis, Fil. As per usual! Thank you so much! Of course I shared this! :)

Top notch Fil as usual. Really enjoy your grasp of all Genres.

I recently saw an interview with Kenny Vaughan in which he talks about this band's Letterman appearance - he says the Letterman house band couldn't believe he and Marty didn't use ANY pedals! Just Teles straight into small Fender amps

I'd have to say that Marty is a very smart business person and an excellent musician. He recognized Kenny's talent when he formed the band and it's still going strong because they play music people want to hear and are willing to pay to see the group. Also it appears that Kenny has the freedom to do his own thing with others. He is great.

Seen Marty and the lads multiple times. MONSTER band, and Kenny is right at the forefront. Incredible guitarist!

I saw Kenny for the first time as the band leader for Lucinda and wow, what a hot band and fantastic show....top 5 concert for me all time.

Great analysis of some good Country pickin' Fil. Cousin Kenny Vaughn is a master of the Telecaster. Don't know if you noticed, but Marty Stuart is playing the original working prototype Clarence White/ Gene Parsons B-Bender Telecaster. Marty got the guitar from Clarence's widow, so Mr. Stuart is now it's custodian. Marty and his band "The Fabulous Superlatives" are quite a bunch of musicians. If you can find it out there in KZfaq land, there's a clip of Marty and the boys on the David Letterman Show. They feature a track from their album "Live From Studio B" (Letterman calls it "....Studio 8 " and Marty corrects him!) Didn't catch the name of the track but Kenny and Marty really let rip, playing lead and harmony. For some guitar breaks, they don't even look at each other but never miss a note. Just makes you smile and realise how good these guys are! Special mention for Marty and his enormous contribution to Country music. Great work Fil and many thanks. Stay safe and well.

Think I may have suggested this to you some time ago, maybe from your Glen Campbell analysis. These guys are true professionals. Marty's Superlatives are just that. Thanks for reviewing Kenny's technique 😎👍🎸

Kenny Vaughan is sooooo damn cool and fun to watch. Marty Stuart is another that just defies genre with his gifts.

Marty's TV series he had on RFD is on You Tube. They focus on his band's performances with the band backing up his many guest stars. That led me to see Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives live at a local venue. Kenny's playing is indeed fabulous usually with a more-or-less traditional Telecaster tone. Marty has a somewhat hotter tone and with his Tele B -bender really stands out. My kind of country.

thank for bringing the nuance & superb techniques displayed by KV on this track. -- I've only "discovered" and triedto uncover the secrets of his playing on the Marty Stuart television shows here on KZfaq. You've slowed down time & analyzed the riffs in a friendly player to player manner -- the smile on your mug while viewing the vid had me grinning as well. - cheers

Fil I always love how you break all these chops down for us. I definitely am a fan of country swing and all the great instruments.

Oh Man! How did I miss this?! Kenny Vaughan! Thank you thank you Fil for the recognition of this amazing guy! There is a video on youtube titled: "Marty Stuart on Letterman" of Marty and Kenny just shredding it and tearing up the audience and Dave. Would love to see your analysis on that, the song is from the Ghost Train Studio B Sessions album.

Marty Stuart and his band are some of the BEST in Country Music! Kenny Vaughan is awesome!

Kennys' interviews / stories are as good as his playing. His punk day albums are also worth checking out.

My friend met Marty Stuart in a pub last year in Manhattan. Said he was incredibly cool and gracious. Love when legends are just regular people. The pictures are epic.

I have a Washburn guitar that Marty Stewart signed for me. It plays better than I expected. Marty is a special person. Talented but not always recognized for it.

Wow !! I was just watcing Kenny Vaughn earlier today on KZfaq. I'm glad you did an analysis on Kenny. He's good on the guitar !! Thank you Fil for another great analysis!! You will always be the very best !! 😎

Kenny Vaughn does some interesting interviews and tells some wicked tales about other musicians.

You would have no problem mastering the country style. I appreciate all of your videos, because you cover so many genres. Cheers.

Wonderful, very comprehensive analysis and demo. Thank you Fil

I just fell over with this . 😂 Nice picking I mean I’ve never heard anything like this one ,but the lyrics were hilarious 🤣. A lot of technique in there for sure !

Hands down one of the best bands out there. Two premier level guitarists. I heard Kenny in an interview saying he is a big Grateful Dead fan and he followed them around to their concerts in his younger years.

Hi Wingman it's so fun watching you looking at these performances, can tell your having fun it's infectious to your viewers congrats.

What a fun episode. The first time I saw Kenny was when he was part of Lucinda Williams' touring band in the late 90s and I was completely knocked out. Then I moved to Nashville and for years it was possible to see him for free three nights a week at Robert's Western World. He's an absolute freakshow of a player and he's got taste for days. The guy never makes a bad choice.

in 2011 Marty and the Superlatives were on the David Letterman show. Marty and Kenny play "Country Boy Rock-n-Roll" . It's hot and fast and reall showcases Kenny....It's on KZfaq....You'll enjoy it

I've seen Marty and the Superlatives in concert before. Did the meet and greet and all the guys were so gracious to the fans. They seemed glad to see us and appreciated we came to see them play. Really nice people. Great analysis! Marty is such a fabulous musician, and hires only the best for his band. Thanks, Fil!

This was fabulous, Fil! I recently watched your vid on Ernest Tubb, that, too, was fab! Yes, Marty & his boys are really awesome, & Kenny is sooo good on that guit! Thanks for bringing Country to the forefront for us fans! You break it down really well, too. This is a great vid from the Midnight Jamboree, love the song! 🎸🎤🎶

Fil Great stuff! Glad to see you highlight Kenny. Great player. Thanks

Kenny is just such a cool guy. Have been trying to emulate his guitar style lately and this video is a wow moment for me. Thank you Fil, for the great demonstration, I can't wait to get started on learning from it.

Thanks for sharing. Marty Stuart. Bring back good times. And a whole lot of fun. Going back to hear Marty’s music. You’re awesome Fil. Thanks 🙏😆🎵🤘🏻👍

Kenny is a killer. Missed you when I got me new iPhone. Great to be back.

Saw the Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives in St. Louis at a small venue. They were and are the best! Thank you for exposing your subscribers to this band among bands!!!! If you ever have a chance to see them, go!!!

I really love the way you vary your videos. It’s evident you are a lover of the Guitar. Not just any particular style of Guitar Music. I'm basically a Rock Head too but, I just love Guitar in general. I believe a person can learn from any style or genre. In your videos, (I’m a Subscriber), I have seen everyone from Mark Farner, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Phil Keaggy, Jerry Reed, Frank Marino, Chet Atkins, (“Sweep Picking” before I EVER hear any of the Thrash Shredders do it), Vernon Reid, Marty Stewart, etc… Your videos cover a wider field of Genres than any other Analyst that I’ve watched. It’s good to see you back after your illness. Keep up the good work.

These guys are like a jam session- Marty is like Roy Orbison wants all his children to have a turn doing lead

First time i saw K.V. was way back when he was in Lucinda William’s backing band on the dvd Live from Austin Texas along with James Jameson on slide/lead guitars. A great band plus Lucinda’s punk country/blues delivery. It’s on you tube if you haven’t already watched it, several great guutar solos/ interchanges between Kenny and James well worth a view

I come from the 'A drummer's best friend is a musician' school, but I feel obliged to say your vids are superb

Top notch band. So damn tight.

I absolutely love Marty Stuart. They are really good. Love this..

Top players indeed! im always awe struck at Marty and the guys , always makes me want to learn more styles and techniques .

Awesome analysis File. You're giving a Short course on hot guitar.I will be re watching this vid regularly

As you say Fil, super technique, that comes not just from innate talent, but years of practicing and playing. I saw a great interview with Kenny in which he talks of having guitar lessons even in fairly recent times! This class of musician is always learning and it goes to show that however good you are you can always get better!

I love that they have a cardboard cutout of Hank Williams in their lineup. The musos in this band are the best in the business and this rockabilly music shows the link between country, blues, jazz and rock n roll.

Saw Marty Stuart as the opening act for Chris Stapleton. He and his band were thoroughly professional and spot on with their timing. Stapleton and his band, by contrast, were disorganized, amateurish and looked like they were living under a bridge. I and my date left the concert early.

Just adore you!Thanks for doing what you do💛✌

I missed this one Fil. Fantastic music, fantastic band. This song reminds me of 100 Asleep at the Wheel songs. Ever do Asleep at the Wheel?

love love it! I'm 65 so it brought back good times. Thank you!

Country line dancing came to mind 😁🤠 Fil, thanks for another great analysis video 🖤🤘🏽

That was so much fun to listen to. I'm gonna replay but this time I'll have to flip the Fender on and jam along. Real Fun Time. Thank You Sir...

I went to a Merle Haggard concert at a fairground where you brought your own chairs or sat on the ground. We got to sit in the front row . We had never seen Marty’s band live before & Kenny just stole the whole show .

Great Analysis Fil of a top notch Band! Really have to appreciate the great Level of playing these guys achieve. I think a Heavy Metal player will appreciate this video and how great these musicians are,

Thanks, Fil, for showcasing my favorite unknown guitar player. He's the best Tele player I know. Thanks again for bring us your great analyses videos.

Can’t do better then that ! Thanks Fil .

I had a 78 Strat exactly like that I bought brand new in 78 and traded a few years later for a LP Standard. Wish I still had it! Kenny is a monster player have seen this band many times!

I’m learning even what may sound “straightforward , easy “, is usually more complex. “Melting our faces “. Damn, he’s melting that fret board.

Really cool to see a rocker appreciate rockabilly/classic country music

One of the best "lessons" on guitar I've seen!!! GOD bless!

Thanks for spotlighting Kenny and Marty's incredible talents - If you ever decide to go country/ blue grass on us, how about changing your bands name to "Wings of Pigasus"? - What do they say about Pigs with wings? - Otis Gibbs is a friend of Kenny and has a lot of in depth interviews with him on his youtube channel - Kenny is very knowledgable on guitars and amps - Also, the Tele that Marty plays is the Tele B-bender invented by Clarence and the same one he played with the Byrds along with Gram Parsons , etc - If unfamilar with Clarence playing live, check out the Byrds "untitled" album circa 1970. - McGuinns "Lover of the Bayou" live is a great example

we got tickets to see them in Key West Feb 20 .....so psyched ...we just love them and their musical prowess

I know you said you weren’t going to do a tutorial of the tune, but the parts you did focus on genuinely helped me a bit on my journey (struggle) to get the feel of this music. It seems to me it’s not so much the notes/scales you play as much as it is the timing and feel. Thanks for focusing on this tune. I’ll be looking for more of their tunes to study.

There is another number from this same gig on KZfaq called Country Music Got A Hold on Me. What stands out is Marty's solo on that B Bender Telecaster. It sounds just like a steel guitar, and Kenny's solo is even more jaw dropping than the one featured here.

This is my original quote. Kenny Vaughan is the Mike Campbell of Country Music!

Chris is now Martys bass player since Paul left and awhile was with the band BR549

I had the pleasure of seeing Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives in concert at the Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction Colorado. Their performance was so awesome, Kenny Vaughan can play the phone book 😊❤

Kenny playing Wipeout on the acoustic guitar is jaw dropping.

We saw Marty and the band in Albuquerque recently. Awesome show!

I saw this lineup at you guessed it! HSB Golden Gate Park San Francisco! One of the best performances I have ever seen!
