Loved Aynsley for years, so glad he's finally getting a bit more recognition! That intro was fantastic, his playing is always so melodic - another great get for The Captain Meets

Beautiful intro! This guy is underrated..amazing player and amazing voice Thanks Cptain for bringing up such quality guitar guys like Dan Patlansky and Lister..👌

Yeh, two great players

the first two minutes just sounded great!

I`ve seen Ainsley play twice and have several of his albums. He's written some great underrated material down the years, songs like Home. He reminds me in that respect of the late great Jeff Healey, who was a magician on the guitar but also wrote some very fine underrated albums.

i know this has been said a million times BUT god damn the stratocaster is a beautiful looking guitar!!!!!!!

He seems like a thoroughly nice chap. Great interview.

Love this guy, this sound … 🔥🙏🏻

Good to hear the gratitude for Walter Trout from him... He's a highly underrated player, and by how it sounds, quite a humble man... I was lucky enough to see him back in the '90s with John Mayall and the Blues Breakers in Albany NY. It was a great show and at the time I had no idea who Walter was... I quickly investigated though and found he has been a really prolific part of the blues/rock scene for many years... It's really nice to hear of him getting the recognition he deserves... Popa Chubby opened that show and that man is no slouch either...

Walt Bonczek yes. Here’s a guy who knows Popa Chubby. He’s great. Who else can basically play anything. Including a part 1 and 2 of all Hendrix songs perfectly and sings too. Called Electric Chubbyland. And you know Walter and Aynsley. And I bet you know a lot more of the guys I’ve been mentioning lately that fly under the radar. Chris Duarte? Indigenous with Mato Nanji? I won’t go thru my usual list but lots of guys that just tour and tour and tour. I’m getting to the point where I’m thinking most guys only know 2 guitarists.

Walt Bonczek yep that was the first cd I bought. You know which songs I think are brilliant? The ones like Shiloh and on another cd I think it’s called something wicked? Not sure. But they’re real long and just so tasteful. His dvd is interesting because I get to see him up close playing. It really isn’t a learning dvd. Funny I had Joe Bonamassa’s dvd and he hit it big. Yet Chris just never made it mainstream which is ok with me. As long as they can pay their bills and continue playing. 👍 oh k forgot Doyle he’s doing good because Eric Clapton took him under his wing to be a writer. So his name is more out there. And he’s done crossroads the festival.

I wish MTV had such musicians. Never heard about this dude. I live in Switzerland.

WoW...What a great player....Ainsley, so enjoyable...Thank you.

You definitely have an American audience! Glad I got to discover Ansley today!

Thanks Andertons, Aynsley Lister is an excellent player.

I might actually be able to say I met, and backed, Aynsley when he was about 15 because I used to frequent the very same Wednesday evening session in The Running Horse in Nottingham that he mentions in the interview. He used to turn up carrying his guitar with his Dad lugging his amp. I've also a recollection of something similar happening at The Old Vic in Nottingham as it used to be called.

Have been waiting for this man to drop by. Great home grown player!

Great to see Aynsley on your channel. Seen him numerous times over the last couple of decades - he never seems to age! Next on the list must be Davy Knowles, if he sets foot in the UK again.

I really dug the sounds of the intro.Anys was really making the white strat speak!great intro guys! Really nice side of blues you just don't normally hear.well done!

This was a long awaited "captain meets" Nice one. Another I think would be totally awesome would be Ed Wynne, that would be a handful of playing and an interesting history too. I think he is likely one of the most underrated guitarists out there as pretty much only Ozric fans would know about him, but what a player!

Another brilliant "Cap Meets". I have heard some of Aynsley's work and must say it's fantastic. Aynsley also seems to be a very grounded, genuinely nice guy. Great stuff, both of you.

Great interview as always! And thanks for introducing Aynsley Lister. I checked him out on Spotify and then went straight to Amazon and bought 2 CDs for my 18 year old B&O CD Changer. Fabulous sound and songs!

I have followed Aynsley since he was a teenager “ not the bloke he mentioned “ 🤣playing, small room Rock City and The Flying Horse both in Nottingham and gigs in Leicester. Met him in guitar shop Reverb Leicester and he’s always been a very polite and approachable fella and fantastic guitarist. Good on ya Aynsley best of British to you. 😁

Love Aynsley's style, great guitarist.

Another amazing guitarrist. Well done Lee!

I think Aynsley’s Probett guitar deserved a bit more attention, so....Shout out for Damian Probett, a great British luthier making fantastic guitars for excellent British blues guitarists...and he’s not far from Anderson’s.

The intro jam was pure beauty.

I had never heard of anysley before, but last year I heard one of his live renditions of purple rain, and I’ve been a fan since. The dude can PLAY

His excellent live covers of Purple rain on you tube first turned me on to him. His playing, in terms of phrasing-taste-tone, is a level above.

I’ve waited so long for this! Hung with and spoke to Aynsley on several occasions. Guys a legend!

Agreed, that the 2 min jam in the lead-in was terrific.. Please tell me that you also recorded a Jam with Aynsley and Danish Pete..... That would be incredible.

One should not underestimate the influence YT channels like this have promoting great, new (I know), that is to say players from a younger generation than the Claptons, SRV etc. with their legendary status.

Quite nostalgic this, so many of us watched 24 nights, got into SRV after his death, bought Live at the King King... I also grew up in the era (mid 90s) when the British Blues scene was quite strong, with lots of good quality festivals. The Hoax were the top of the tree at the time. Oh to have a circuit like those days. Lots of the venues have closed down long ago.

Well done, guys. Cool humble dude and his music is top notch. Been a fan for awhile, now... Would love to see Collin James on there, too. Another amazing player. Cheers

One of his tracks was featured on a new Blues, Artists CD on the cover of Classic Rock mag from 2007 or so. It was a song called "Wherever I am" on his "Upside Down" Album. Thing is it wasn't really a blues track but I loved it because it stood out as not being in that Genre. So glad I bought that copy of the mag that month. Been a fan for years. Amazing Guitarist, Singer and songwriter. Check out his cover of Purple rain at Glastonbury shot by someone in the audience capturing the atmosphere perfectly. Lots of great live stuff on YT. Check out "The Tower Sessions live" album on Spotify aswell as a way to get started. We just need Vinyl releases of his catalogue and I would be in Blues, Rock heaven. 😁

Had many a happy day with Aynsley, doing corporate gigs in my little studio in Leicester with him doing the studio muso thing. Some of the best memories I had from that time. He is an amazing talent and a properly genuine guy. I tried playing drums with him a few times but he was so much better than me and I wasn’t fit to be on the same stage as him. Been ages since I’ve seen him. Great to see him being recognized.

Brilliant guitarist, seen him play in Edinburgh the last two years, one of the few guitarists i would drive 50 miles from Glasgow to Edinburgh to see

Greetings from a Swiss guy watching this show in Switzerland (the "bonjour" part). :)

Great player - solid Mark Knopfler influence - which is really nice to hear in a modern player

Awesome interview awesome tone and playing seems like a really humble chat which is great, the playing on the outro sounds like something Pete will do 👍

I met Aynsley when i was 15 years old. I'm now 30. We spoke for about 20 minutes about guitars and inspirations. He signed a flyer for me and he wrote on it "To Chris keep playing that geetar!" Still got it somewhere but it was on my wall until i was 20 haha.

I’m from Australia and only recently stumbled across him. Not only a great guitarist he’s got an awesome voice as well. Plays as smooth as silk like John Mayer.

I saw Aynsley play at a local village hall about 12 years ago. There was about 7 of us there. It was a fantastic gig!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this to happen. Thank you Andertons and Aynsley Lister!!

awesome nice touch on the strat !!

some of the best strat tone i ever heard.

Shine on the captain...sweet intro...great

went to one of his concerts a year ago in some sort of old dungeon / basement venue here in southern germany. it was my first blues concert, i just went there, and damn, i loved it. great location (very small), great band, great and talented front man. i was a little late and got the last available ticket. definitely a night to remember!

Aynsley can emulate whatever he wants. He was a monster years ago, and I assume he's even more of one now as I haven't seen him in over 10 years.

Really enjoyable video what a talented and likeable guy. Need to check out his records.

right from the getgo nano second he really sounds like Mark Knopfler, some guitarists just play with fingertops for I dunno why, but Ainsley has a REAL singin soulful tone to it! Bravissimo! : ) ( as a youngster I too used to dabble Dire Straits with my white Kasuga strat, but with a plectrum! nobody told me Mark played with fingers...) Im still riding that excuse cause I also love the nylons ( classical n ukuleles which require fingernails...) what a MARVELLOUS player! : )

Woo!... Nearly First comment. I'd like to thank Metal, the blues and my mum. Love the series Captain!

I usually don't like blues soloing, but he has amazing phrasing

I wanted to put to rest this weird idea that science says wood does not matter in the tone of a electric guitar. It is in fact the complete opposite. One of the underlying principle of Maxwell's equations on Electricity and Magnetism is that there is no preferred frame of reference. What does this mean? Maxwell’s equations govern what happens as a conductor moves through a magnetic field. This of course is how a pick up in a guitar works. As the string, a conductor, moves through the magnetic field of the pick up, it causes the magnetic field to oscillate which in turn cause a current to flow through the windings of the pick up and we get sound. But you get the same thing if we vibrate the pick up. The string is still moving through the magnetic field of the pick up inducing a current in the windings and we get sound. Now as the strings vibrate, they vibrate the wood of the guitar and in turn vibrates the pick up. It is therefore the interaction of the vibrating pickup and the vibrating string that produces the sound of a guitar. If the pickup is vibrating in sync with the string, those frequencies are not transmitting to the windings and hence sucked out of the tone. This means that how the wood responds, how the pickup is connected to the guitar, and anything else the effects how the body of the guitar vibrates and therefore how the pick up vibrates, effects the “tone” of the guitar. I hope this clears up the misconception that science says the wood does not affect the tone of the Guitar. Thank you.

YEAH!

Nice bloke. That last noodle was a belter!

He's a bit good innie? That grey stat sounds wonderful.

That intro jam 🤟👏

The first, and perhaps last, time anyone appeared on the Anderton's channel who appeared on the same stage I once used, in a little town called Clowne.

How about the Nimmo Brothers somewhere down the line Lee ? Would love to see you interview the pair of them, or just Alan or Steve.

Had to drop out and allow updates happen, The Chain by Fleetwood Mac is my favorite.

Yes Folks..Clean Sond!!

Check out his version of little wing. It's unbelievable. Stands up to the original and the srv version (I prefer it to both!)

Really nice interview to listen to... went really fast.

Great video! Aynsley eventhough you’re not a pedal guy you should really try out the Ziggy pedal from crazytubecircuits. If I could only take one pedal that would be the one and teamed with my old JMP Marshall head. 👍🎸

42:51 thought cloud : "the camera is bound to be on Aynsley now - I'll quickly sort this out …."

Could Anderton's do a quarterly competition whereby all the guests (and crew!) play a jam on the same guitar when visiting and then sign it. It could then be won by a lucky follower in a competition of some kind? Maybe a spare Chapman perhaps??

Very Knopfler-esque intro!

Davy Knowles Cap is thinking of ?
