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..👌
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.
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.
@@joerobinson6199 Duarte is AMAZING.... Texas Sugar strat magic!...'My Way Down' was an anthem of sorts for me back in the early 2k's!...lol... David Grissom is another, Doyle Bramhall... The influences for my own learning of the instrument and the respect of those influences go on and on... Yup you get my understanding...
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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. 😁
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 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.
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
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.
Joe Pearson you just basically got my journey into guitar exactly the way it happened lol. Saw SRV first though. Then came the rest. I guess there’s a whole bunch of us that had that same journey.
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!
@@joerobinson6199 yeah the video ones i mean. fantastic videos, haha i need a new refresher videos on breaking it down cause its still hard to pull off
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 👍
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.
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.
Just ran across this. My only problem is that I didn't discover his music years ago. Love this guy! I want to see nothing but good things to happen for Aynsley!
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. 😁
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.
Moakalatte another vote for Jon Amor! I was at Hebden Bridge Blues Festival, quite a few years back, I hung with him and his guitar playing blew my tiny 14 year old mind. He wasn’t with a band but he was jamming with everyone including Aynsley Lister and it was incredible!
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! : )
@@zerohourdrift Pete has a blue ASAT Special? That's not the purple Tele. Look at the pickups, G &L MFD, look at the headstock. G&L hook. I've seen several other videos with the Captain playing either that guitar or another blue one.
39MercFlathead lmao I know the difference between a g&l and his purple tele... Pretty sure that’s Pete’s guitar nonetheless... I’ve seen him with it on his Instagram here and there and it appears to be at his house in some stuff so I would assume it was his...
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.
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.
Would love to see any if not all these guys on here... Scott mckeon Duke robillard Scott henderson Robert cray Ronnie earl David ‘kid’ ramos Larry Carlton Mark lettieri 👍👍
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??
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. 👍🎸
interesting vid guys..lovely playing..im wondering if there is a different cap in the volume control to get those tops still there when turning down ...thanks again ...peace.
