Walter Trout Blues Lesson

Love Walter, cat's got real, genuine soul. I was walking down Main St. in Huntington Beach, CA one evening - and heard this ripping guitar come blasting out of an old dumpy bar called Perq's. I asked the doorman if what I was hearing was just something recorded. He said: "Na man - that's Walter Trout live" - and I said "Walter Trout?" (Who the hell is Walter Trout... ) Went in - stayed the entire show. Dude ripped the walls down on every song! One of the most impressionable evenings ever in front of a band. Rock On, Brah !!!

love Walter ! opened a show in Erie PA, for Walter in 2012 or 13 with my band "The Cralwers" ,. His band and the man him self signed 2 of my guitars ! UNFORGETABLE !!!

I got to see him on his UK tour last year. Fantastic player... Needs to be seen live to be truly appreciated.

This guy is a real guitar player.

I've never heard anyone put it out there so to the point. If you're learning, listen closely to what he's saying. Never forget it's all about the freedom of expression. You can't do it wrong, but you can always improve through refinement. Best wishes ✌️🎸

I remember a blind guitarist that used to play open parties in the Valley during the 70's who could rip like no one else. After watching him play many times I noticed he used what Walter mentions here about transposing everything up the neck by making your index finger the bridge.

Could listen to Walter all day, what a lovely man.

Love this guy great guitarist and seems a great guy.

His blues make mine go away.

Relentless and No More Fish Jokes are incredible LOUD, raucous, down and dirty electric blues records. A must for any fan of the genre.

Well, my left ear enjoyed the video at least.

Legend,love this guy
