I need a guitar

@pjfan173 9 лет назад

I saw Keith live a few years ago. I'm wasn't much of a country fan but my wife wanted me to go with her. I left the show a country and a Keith fan. Honestly one of the best guitar players I've ever seen. If you get the chance catch him live.

@Dogheadj 6 лет назад

Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it? The comment before yours is from a heavy metal player; and I'm a blues player, and we all appreciate Keith's style and ability!

@gordon4385 4 года назад

Same here. Not much of a country fan (except for Dale Watson) but that boy can Play!

He may be a pop country superstar, but I'd hardly call him country music

that first tele was the nicest sounding guitar i've ever heard almost a acoustic quality to it

Can’t stand country music but I’ve got a Crossroads cd Keith plays on , he’s superb . Seems a real good guy too !

Cool Keith ...well done. My 1st tele was a May 1963 rosewood and just got a Korean butternut maple neck ... back I have gone to my sweet days with a tele. Thank you Keith , you are very gifted artist ...Cool runnings babe!

@ivanwesley8182 3 года назад

I saw Keith Urban at a small festival, just as he was getting popular, and he put on a great show. I was obviously impressed with his talent but I was even more impressed that he put so much into entertaining a small audience when he was obviously going to be a headliner soon

@thorestey 9 лет назад

And what do we learn from this? Quality lasts a lifetime!!!

@MIversen512 6 лет назад

Shout out to Manny's!!!! So cool that he knows where he bought it. And so cool that I've been in the same place!

@MRxr400 2 года назад

for me, a live performance from a musician can get me hooked on the artist. Keith is an amazing live performer. watched him mid solo loose his strap, kept going until John Mayer helped him get it back together. was impressive.

@TelecasterLPGTop 10 лет назад

Keith is one of the world's great musicians but because of the "country" label some people overlook him. Mediocre country players can turn people off country music and of course Country music has that stigma attached to it. Back in the 60s it wasn't cool but it was the brilliant musicianship of many country guitarists that helped me see the light. Guys like Glen Campbell shone a light on Country and of course the song "Nashville Cats" made one think twice. Steve Earl was another who drew attraction to the genre.

@wildmikefilms 10 лет назад

Thats so true. country is on the whole a fairly simple and stupid form of music, however i really enjoy it because of how fun to sing all the songs are. But Keith Urban is different. i really do believe that he is one of the greatest musicians in the popular industry right now. Plus he is amazing in concert!

@RubbelisPro 7 лет назад

Felix Burke country music in my opinion really is terrible (modern country that is..) however, credit must be given where it is due, Keith is a fantastic guitar player and I respect him for that.

@itguy8671 7 лет назад

He's a great guitar player but he needs to lose the country before he will get much credibility

@MrMd5555 7 лет назад

There are only two kinds of music in the history of time, good and bad that's it... Who cares what label or genre the big wigs put on it.. If it makes you wanna play it, pick up your guitar and play it. Today's "country music" is mostly pop artists with a steel guitar and an accent, but at least most of these guys actually play, write and sing. Its a shame so many music "artists" in main stream don't play any instrument, don't write their songs and in many cases they can't even sing without auto tune..in today's "Popular" music, How do you call them a musician if they can't make their own music without processors, auto tune & big fancy pro studios? It's a shame what the industry has turned into.

@cjs4247 7 лет назад

Felix Burke personally I hate a majority of country music but Credence Clearwater revival is my overall favorite band

@jeffjones5001 7 лет назад

There is no hiding place in country music, it shows up a bad musician unlike heavy metal players who get away with murder. Country guitarists really can play their instruments.

@itguy8671 7 лет назад

+Jeff Jones As long as you know C, D and G, you can be a country star

@HipsterEatinShark 4 года назад

@@jeffjones5001 What are you talking about? Like it's hard to play the major pentatonic all damn night over a G chord. Come show me how you "hide" behind a Jeff Loomis solo, sometime, Jeff. Show me a player who is a "bad musician who can't really play their instrument" that can fake his way through a Petrucci album. There are bad musicians everywhere. There is some hayseed with an acoustic who thinks he's the next Blake Sheldon in every small town in Middle America.

@zsuzsannavrady3079 3 года назад

Awesome!!!Awesome!!!! I admire all your vibrations, your magical voice, your beautiful hand, the soft movement of your delicate fingers! As your guitar snuggles up to you, and surrenders to the spell, the music sounds. The miracle with which you pluck the strings of our hearts is your Life. You give your heart in all your songs we get it and you unnoticed kidnap ours.

@zsuzsannavrady3079 3 года назад

At the first hearing you change the life of the one who hears and sees you, because from that day onwards he only wants you, he must constantly come back to you to be happy! There will be only one important thing in your life and everything else will dwarf, nothing else will be as important as being here with us! Forever! ❤🔥 We receive your heart in all your songs and we give ours in beautiful silence ❤❤❤❤🎼🔥🔥🔥

Keith is a true class act! And quite the player as well!

@brettsanace 9 лет назад

I've always thought Keith was one of the best (and most under-rated) guitarist in Australia. I remember seeing a clip of a jam of Keith with John Butler and John gives up half way through the song because he can't keep up with Keith.

@denisehedden5108 3 года назад

🖤🥀Amazing interview with Keith Urban he's so creative with naming his guitars. He's a powerful player. My Dad use to get his guitars through a place in Nashville Tenn too. The last one he bought was a Sho Bud Dobro I remember that was in the 70s. He would have loved Keith Urban no doubt. Thank's for posting this video🥀🖤🤘🎸

@chrisjaybecker4395 8 лет назад

Hey, Keith. If you read these comments, I have another "Clarence" for you to consider... the late, great Tele master Clarence White (Kentucky Colonels/The Byrds) brother of mandolinist Roland White.

@mickkollins 4 года назад

Keith and Tommy Emmanuel (both Aussies) brilliant musicians and performers (using Maton acoustics too) AND so down to earth and sincere. Its no wonder Nicole fell for this guy...All of us guitarists have a guitar story...about acquiring that one special one that you've had for years...I like the story he tells about listening to all those 'chicken picken' guys like Albert Lee etc. when he first gor to Nashville Well Keith and that Tele from Manny's in NYC, got it down really good! Thanks Keith for all your music and to Fender and as always RIP Leo!

@GuillermoSmyser 10 лет назад

Keith has an AMAZING cover of Devil Went Down to Georgia where he absolutely shreds. The only vid I've seen is from when he was first starting out. Do you self a favor and go find it.

(Keith mods the hell out of his guitars)

@315DL 13 лет назад

@TheHxholden The SA isnt in it anymore, sadly. It looks like he has the origional Fender pickup back in the bridge position. He ripped the other 2 out that were in the neck and middle position so thats what gives that almost acoustic type of sound to it.

@315DL 13 лет назад

@TheHxholden Its a 1989 Custom Shop 40th Anniversary. Really a beast of a guitar when he had an EMG SA in the bridge.

@paulbivins6483 10 лет назад

Katy9532: I would say because when a finds something so fine that he enjoys with all passion he finds a name that he can relate it to for the comfort it brings..Like when he is down it lifts his spirits ,its the one thing he can always go to ....

@charlesharper7292 4 года назад

Ya know, I've been looking at some very good priced Telecaster type kits, and Telecaster clones. Considered buying one. As much fun as a kit could be, It could also wind up being a big disappointment after it's playable. The clones, some good, some not. I decided to just save a little and get the genuine article. I trust Fender to build an instrument I will be happy with years to come. Sustained value is another virtue. Although this is not why I buy a particular guitar. Thanks! For what y'all do, I enjoy all the emails, stay safe, stay sane, stay well!👍👍🍕🍺🏆

You may have seen them by now, but if you haven't: check out Keith Urban and John Mayer playing together here on RU-vid. There are a few videos, but some highlights (in my opinion) are their cover of Don't Let Me Down, Til Summer Comes Around and Sweet Thing. Keith is a very talented guitarist in his own right, but when he and Mayer play together it goes to another level. Do yourself a favor and have a listen if you haven't already.

@mrmartin28 13 лет назад

@KeltonSwade I know he recorded with your guitar, I know it was one of his main guitars last year and I know it sounded great live. I considered getting one of your guitars until I found out I could buy a custom shop fender for the same price basically. Just because you can make copies of the best guitars in the world (Fenders) doesnt make you great. And oh btw dude, dont call me hoss cause Waylon Jennings is the only person worthy of that name.

@bradcarroll3719 9 лет назад

Damn it must suck to have all those awesome guitars, and then if that wasn't bad enough, he has to wake up beside Nicole Kidman everyday! Hopefully he doesn't have the misfortune of having to drive a Ferrari or Lamborghini as well. Seriously though, he deserves his success because he is a true musician. I'm a guitarist and I find popular country impossible to listen to for the most part. Luckily there are a few great talents like Kieth, Brad paisley, Ashley Monroe, Allison Krause, etc. willie Nelson is my fav person in music period, and I'm totally a rock guy, but I was talking about new music.

No such thing as talent the ones that make it don't ever give up and they practice all day music is a skill no talent involved the more you do something the better you get at it

So many people here bashing country music! Dig deeper, sooner or later you will find BlueGrass. Then you will be in Heaven. I do love metal, and classic rock. Don't put on blinders. There are so many styles of music. Don't miss out! I'm not. Y'all be safe.🙃

Was the song at the beginning improvised or his actual song

@superflea72 11 лет назад

I love how even though later he has found a superior guitar to be his #1 (Clarence becoming a back-up), that just talking about Clarence gets him all misty-eyed. I have an old Washburn acoustic like that...it would be overlooked by most people just looking at her dings and worn finish on the back of the neck, etc. but to me, she is the only guitar (of many) that have lasted with me for over 20 years. she's nothing special to anyone but me, and I wouldn't ever part with her.

Is there more resonance without the two pickups?, Tks in advance.

@jakmontague1753 8 лет назад

Well pickups have magnets in them that pull on the strings so removing a pickup does allow the strings to sing a little better since there's one less magnet pulling on them :)

I like this guy...he sound very humble and doesn't strut around with a cowboy hat and fake Nashville attitude like all the rest. My fav country, although I call it western is still the late Chris LeDoux. Sorry, but Urban is far from country. Country music is all but a facade for the last 20 years.

Come check out the 1953 "Brownie" telecasters that I built for Keith Urban at my website, just google Kelton Swade and you'll find me. Keith said he loves my telecasters very much (he has two of them). He even used one in his video "Put You In A Song" and used a picture of him with it on the inside jacket of his latest cd. Come see why Vince Gill and Robben Ford and many others also play my guitars above all others.Thanks!

This video, endorsed by Fender, has opened my mind about Urban. "Rock-a-billy" ain't much to my liking - just OK, I guess - but this shows that Urban certainly has chops, knows his way around a Tele . I agree with you, & other replies... (?)
