Just wanted to share a link to a audio clip of "See you in my dreams"!!! Check out the two parts harmony he does with a thumb and index finger locked together like a double pick! I suggest checking out the other 3 songs! "Columbus Georgia" is a killer!! I have two of his latest CDs (Classic Scotty and Triple Stop). Hope to to find his first two soon (Slight of Hand and Second Time Around)soon! http://home.fuse.net/pvee/sanderson.html [This message was edited by Ken Fox on 17 October 2005 at 12:10 PM.] [This message was edited by Ken Fox on 17 October 2005 at 12:23 PM.] |

I just found the link for the older CDs! Gonna get those. I have a poor copy of him live a NAAM show in 1996! Amazing video, hope to find a good quality version of it! Probably the one of the most amazing guitarist I have heard to date! Just covers every style from jazz, country, rock, R and B and more with such precision and taste. He is at home on "Cold, Cold Heart as he is "LaGrange" |

What a humbling experience it is listening to Scotty Anderson's recording you have posted. I have been listening to Jimmie Rivers and The Cherokee Band's recording project "Brisbane Bop," this afternoon, now I'll just go out and break both of my arms so I can have a legitimate excuse why I cannot play 99 percent of the stuff these two great guitarist pull off. |

About 10 or so years ago I did a showcase at the Cannery with another guitar great, Joe Dalton and I had the pleasure of playing a set with Scotty. He is truly unbelievable. The thing I really enjoy when trying to "keep up" with these guys is how much it helps me. You get to go beyond your own self-imposed limitations. I played stuff that night that I could not normally play. |

wow.. my old friend Joe Dalton... I hear he's incredible these days.. We used to play in a band together... probably for a year or so. We would run to the 7-11 during breaks and buy piles of Twinkies, Donuts,cupcakes and weird little pies. I remember when he was an awful guitarist, but he became a GREAT one in NO time.. I miss him... bob |

I 'discovered' Scotty Anderson about eight years ago when someone played me a track from his earliest CD. I didn't believe what I was hearing until I saw the 'Hot Licks' video he made with Arlen Roth. I met Arlen shortly after that and discussed the tape: he said - 'That wasn't an instruction video - that just made peoples' jaws drop!' Interestingly, his narrative indicates that he's not always sure of what chord he's playing over - a true natural talent, if there ever was one. RR |

Bob. That is NOT a harmonizer on his guitar. He actually plays double and triple stops as fast as he plays single notes. He is just about the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. He just hangs in the Cin. Ohio area. He really is one of the best players on the Tele right now in the world. Phelps. He plays a late 60s tele. Mini humbucker up front, Tele in the back with some sort of strat pickup added in front of the Tele pickup. Strings are just light guage standard fare. On the concerts I played with him, he just used a rented Twin and a cord! [This message was edited by Bill Hatcher on 18 October 2005 at 06:55 AM.] |

Thanks for the info, Bill, it's always interesting to know what gear people are playing, but in case anyone thought I was serious, I was just being silly with my "tell me what he plays on so I can get it and sound just like him".... no one else plays like that, even if he gave them his own gear....I sure can't either....

An old worn out Tele with a soap bar P-90 neck, tele middle pickup (offset to the rear edge of pickguard and Tele lead. Pickups wound by J.M. Rolph http://www.cinternet.net/~rewinder/ A Fender Twin and a delay. That's about it for his gear! [This message was edited by Ken Fox on 18 October 2005 at 04:48 PM.] |

Ken. That would be a mini Gibson humbucker in the front. At least when I worked with him. All the pics and the description on the website has it as a mini. |

Right you are, Bill! I think the P-90 is the mini??? I found on CD liner about the Twin Reverb, Ibanez echo and Rolph doing the pickups for him! He stands alone with the talent he has, I have never hear anything like his work in my lifetime. He covers so many styles so well, too. Wish we could get him to the Dallas show to pick with Herby Wallace. I bet they have sounded great together. I talked with one of Scotty's bandmembers yesterday. He was telling me how well Herby and Scotty have played together. [This message was edited by Ken Fox on 18 October 2005 at 06:22 PM.] |

P90 is a single coil. The mini is a small two coil humbucker. Would not matter what that guy used. he is just a wonderful player. I asked him if he ever used any archtop guitars. He said he did not like the way he had to "wrestle" with them. Amazing thing about Scotty is that he gets stronger as the night goes on. We had a three set show to play in Macon Ga. About the end of the gig I was just hoping that he would kick back and coast a little. He started into Orange Blossom Special. I was shocked at how powerful his playing was at the end of a lot of hard playing. He just wore us all out!! So much fun. |

I wish guys like him would tour around more then they do. Seems like they sorta hang around their home towns pretty much. Scotty, Redd V. and Amos Garret are 3 guys i would really like to catch live, but chances are slim that they will pass through the Northeast anytime soon. bob |

Awesome player! I might also add that it's very refreshing to hear someone play a Tele without all that "crunchy distortion +echo stuff" that 99% of the tele players can't seem to do without these days. |

I'M SPEECHLESS Players like that exist on another plane. Darnedest thing I've ever heard. Chet, Jerry Reed, Les Paul and Danny Gatton all rolled up together. Man, I love the way that Tele sounds with the mini-humbucker. I gotta have one! Ken, Gibson used those mini-buckers on the old Epi Sheratons, the Les Paul Deluxes and the Crest, if I'm not mistaken. Great sounding pickups! Bill, is it common for him to push the tempo like that? I'm gonna buy this guy's stuff! [This message was edited by Rick McDuffie on 20 October 2005 at 09:13 AM.] |

I had heard at one time Fender was going to make a guitar for him. Maybe they will do a model for us common folk!!! Remember, his pickups were wound by J M Rolph, just one of the best out there! I had him do a middle pickup for a Strat (1966 model) that was dead. Could not tell it from the other two when he was done, cosmetics or sound.

I have payed in many trios with Scotty & he is Amazing. He still lives around Cincinnati Ohio & is playing with a trio around town some. The tele he usually plays is a 76 bought for $150.00 bucks from my brother-in-law. (He didn't offer it to me). I have the slight of hand Lp but don't know if it was released on Cd. Scotty's a down to earth fellow who wakes up with that guitar around his neck & can play anything & I mean anything. I think he rep'd for yamaha guitar for a while. He has worked some shows locally with Herby Wallace & Herby just loves his playin. just my 2 cents I got to hear Steve Pitttico at the convention & between them & Brent Mason I have retired my 6 string!!!! ------------------ |

Just got the CDs and video in! Absolutely great music. The video was made some time ago when Scotty was doing demos for Yamaha guitar company. My guess in the early 1980's. He is 52 now, from what I have gathered from a fellow band member of his. Son, he was picking up a storm even then! |

A real casual, nice guy and super player . He demoed for Yamaha back in 1985 at the LA Guitar Show in Hollywood CA. I think he played a SA2000 model mostly. (I was the promotor of those annual shows) |

It is a different video than the now out of print Hot Licks video. Really nice and available along with the cd's from Mike Kervin (Mike plays guitar with Scotty). See the links up above for ordering and more. |
