he's playing rhythm guitar, and lead at the same time while singing, and also adding little fills ...most guitar players can do one of those.... not all three at the same time . Incredible

That’s the BLUES MAN!

Mr. John Dawson Winter ||| 🎸🎤⚡🔥💪👊😎🤘 Fantastic Musician Criminally Underrated ⚡🔥😎

Today 24th of February is Johnny birthday. Happy birthday in heavenly Johnny Winter! You're legend!

Tommy’s bass on this is immaculate. Playing chords before it was hip.

And I'll add yet another comment. I have listened to this song over and over, and I've been listening to it for 57 years! And like someone else said, it gives me chills every time. I can't even listen fast enough to hear the notes that he plays? How about the tastefulness of his solo. Pure and clean!

I am 67 years old and he was on the first bill that I saw at The Filmore East, billed as Winter. He blew me away. An incredible bluesman. I am still taken aback when he starts soloing on this song. RIP

A 6 ft albino from Texas walked on the scene and started electric fluid guitar. The blues will never be the same........

The best Guitar solo i ever heard in my Life - since i was Ten years ins - Greetings from germany

Thank You to all the fantastic musicians from the 1950's to the 1980's for recording great music for us to hear today so we don't have to listen to a lot of the awful music of today.

Been a fan since 69’. Saw him in 70’ at a small club downtown. We’re we’re standing at the small stage when Johnny and his band walked through the bar to the stage. Rick Derringer was playing with the band too. It was awesome. 10 feet away from him. Had to see 5 more times after that. Once with Muddy Waters.

You just can't play any better than this! Finally got a Grammy after he "moved on." He was the first white person inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1988. Much better caliber of inductees than what's in Cleveland. Rest in Peace Johnny, your music and contributions will live on. The records you produced with Muddy Waters such as Hard Again are as good as any in the genre. Thanks for all of your wonderful work. Much respect! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_Hall_of_Fame

I saw him in 1970 at a small venue in S.F. Event was billed as 3 Kings and a Winter. Things are hazy from then but I think the club was The Matrix and it was Albert, Freddy, and B.B King. All of them played far too loud for a small place, had to stuff my ears with paper. Johnny played last, they walked him out cause he was probably doing smack but once they hung his guitar around his neck he perked right up and played great. Sadly my only time seeing him.

Can you feel it? The magic will move you. That magic is Johnny Winter

I saw Johnny play at the Vulcan gas Company in Austin Texas in the year of 1970. He played be careful with a fool. It blew me out the door!!. He was in a zone few have ever been. How sadly underrated he was. Rest in peace Johnnie!

The greatest guitar solo of all time.

One of the most heart wringing, soul scorching blues tunes ever. It connects your belly button directly to the obdula oblongada, grips and rips like Predator on safari. My sac is aflame

Johnny Winters was the first rock and roller to get a $600,000 advance on his first album so he's definitely not overlooked one of my favorites one of the best!

There is a word thrown around a lot today; mostly IMHO used too frequently ; ICONIC!!! This man alongside his brother Edgar are truly epitomize the term!

Yes, in 1969 my cousin Neill said, you have to listen to this. I did the rhythm, and he cranked away a fine lead.... Me thinks we always aspired and linked into this deep driving ray.... We oft said this was the greatest lead guitar riff we'd ever hear..... and to this day.... still drives me onward!!! wow..... Got to see Johnny at Wadena Rock Concert in a field in Iowa in the summer of 1970.... missed him when he came by my hometown at the Filmore East.... but felt his full force out in Iowa. He and band seemed so wacked out behind the stage, I felt I could blow on him and he'd fall over. Didn't expect much, nor that he'd even make it to the stage, but when on stage and picked up that guitar, I felt the force rip through me and blow me across the field.... shockingly powerful. A year or so before he passed on, eagerly went to catch him at BB Kings. Unfortunately the sound folks had all the amps full out blasting and my ears despite putting tissue in them, were aching the entire show.... Johnny didn't pause whilst up there..... full out. Bless you, and thank you... this song carries to my next life.... "I believe that we're near the end. I want to tell my baby, please forgive me for my sin."

Assolutamente un vero mito anche un po sottovalutato e una gran voce

What's driving people's reaction, IMO, is pure soul. Johnny Winter was truly one of the great blues/rock guitarists but he didn't play any "outside" or jazzy stuff, he stayed within the idiom. He didn't play any licks other guitarists hadn't played. It was the way it all flowed through him plus the tone, so pure & with no effects on the guitar that I could hear. This is honest, workingman's music, nothing fancy but so amazingly good & so deeply satisfying.

His time is flawless. And what a soulfull and raunchy voice.

I lived in north NJ and I think it was DJ Dave Herman who played this on WNEW-FM when it was released and I probably ran out and bought it the next day, I was 16 yrs old. Never did get to see him until 2013 when we were fortunate to see him perform at The Pour House in New Hope, Pa. He was in pretty bad shape and had to be helped onto his stool but when he plugged in he and the group literally blew us away. Be Careful With a Fool and his Woodstock performance of Mean Town Blues are the most played on my list these days.
