I'm really sorry. I like your playing and your channel, but I can't rest until I say this: Wilko's guitar playing is extremely difficult to even try and copy. I think there is so much that you missed. His right hand technique is amazing, using his nails, and hand, sometimes almost flamenco - like. His left hand will be muting and using double and single bends...sometimes using vibrato on entire chords. His timing is like clockwork. Take a while to listen to Down By the Jetty album. He is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. I followed him from the seventies and he is the reason I play guitar. I miss him terribly! Sorry if this seems harsh, but there is infinitely more to his playing that most people realise.

100% agree a lot of people think Wilkos playing is simple and basic but it's an extremely hard technique to get correct the right hand especially I don't think I've ever seen anybody else use the same extreme right hand technique but his left hand technique is equally unusual Wilko was a criminally underrated guitarist and song writer etc and Dr Feelgood was one of the best bands to ever come out of England especially live they were amazing Wilkos solo albums are great as well 🤘

I think it would be fair to say this was a poor choice to watch, Wilko wasn't a sloppy player, he was as tight as a tight thing. When he was on form (not here) he sounded like two guitar players. In fact when they first played at my local Uni in 1975, my mate thought they had a backing tape doing the other guitar track. Wilko was unique. Canvey Island Essex UK not American Michael.

I have a copy of a "bootleg" CD sold as "Call Me Doctor Wilkinson". It may be widely available by now but I spent some time looking for it. It's from their US tour in 1976 and was recorded in Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan. In Cleveland, they closed the show with a cover version of "Great Balls of Fire" , a Jerry Lee Lewis song. The audio is not great but I'm curious if they had ever played that song before.

As you will see from my avatar, I'm a big fan of Wilko, having first seen him with Dr Feelgood in 1976, and many more times until we sadly lost him. However, I saw a solo Martyn Taylor gig in the late 1980s play I got rythym. He started off with the melody, added a rythym part, then a bassline playing all three simultaneously. He then improvised the melody, then the rythym part and bassline. Enough to make anyone want to give up playing guitar. I don't think that the song chosen for this review best represented Wilko, and the reviewer just didn't get it at all. My band occassionally do a Feelgoods number, but I'm faking it big time. In the middle of a few high tempo Nine Below Zero covers we get by on energy levels and a good harmonica player rather than accuracy in the guitar department.

This is quite funny seeing you perplexed by Wilko Johnson, he is a totally unique player but also hugely influential in the UK, and worldwide, but never broke into America. This was not one of his best performances on video, more for the seasoned fan. One of my favourites would be him in his original band, Dr Feelgood, performing Roxette on The Old Grey Whistle Test 1975, the impact that had on me as a13 year old, and probably countless others can't be overstated. He has a fascinating story that is documented in a film that I believe is available on KZitem, The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson, essential viewing! Wilko was a guitar anti hero, the 10 minute solo and obscure chord inversions and substitutions were not for him, he was able to whip the audience up with his combined rhythm/lead style as much as Page, Blackmore etc etc. At a glance his playing might seem rudimentary and sloppy but, is actually pretty tricky to replicate with the same feeling. Gear wise he almost always used a Telecaster, although I think I have seen footage of him using a Strat and a Les Paul Junior? Early on he favoured HH 100 watt transistor amps straight in, no effects.

Wilko was absolutely FEARLESS and he spanked that guitar. Just flailed it. This is a study in how to use/abuse that right hand. But I agree with the folks below: it is easy to miss the subtle and sometimes dissonant things he did with the left hand. It’s basically a bluesy punkabilly. I think about the guitar style of Bill Carter of the Screaming Blue Messiahs, particularly.

Wilko Johnson’s right hand technique is unsurpassed. First of all, Wilko was naturally left handed, but elected to play right handed. He also found that - as hard as he tried, he could not hold a pick. Hence the “back of the knuckles” strumming style. Dr. Feelgood’s song “She Does It Right” is the perfect example of Wilko’s rhythm/lead style. And his real name is John Wilkinson but he swapped it round because there were two other “Johns” in the band. The other “Johns” on bass and drums adopted nicknames. John Sparkes was dubbed “Sparko” and the other John was known as “The Big Figure” to avoid confusion.

Never mind his playing technique it's the effect it has on the audience that's the thing. I can absolutely confirm that Wilko J / Dr Feelgood in a small club or bar (Pub) is one of the greatest human musical experience in the history of humanity. I've taken many people to these gigs who had never known this music and they always came out of the gig with same crazed obsessional expression.t It is DOPE! During the same time period the Americans had The Fabulous Thunderbirds who somewhat frequented the same energy space. I can confirm that if the FTB were a solid 4 Wilko / The Feelgoods were a spinal tap 11. The Yanks may have invented the blues but it was the Brits that sprinkled amphetamine on the cadaver to get it moving again.

One Saturday I went to Chris Stevens Music Shop with my hard earned £60 to buy (I think) a white Ibanez SG copy (but with a Strat style headstock??!!). As I want up the stairs to the amp room, I heard some very distinctive 'choppy' rhythm playing coming. I turned on my heel and ran. I still - even today - wish I'd had the balls to go up there!

This would have been post Dr Feelgood days. Dr Feelgood was an incredible band and in my humble opinion Wiko's best days. As he admits, his style was borrowed from Mick Green but became his own. Dr Feelgood were so tight, original and high energy (pre punk) and I very much enjoyed being part of that scene growing up on Canvey Island in the 70s. The two standout features of his guitar playing were his use of his fingers and not a pick (as you state) and his string damping method. Most player will damp strings with their right palm after playing a chord but he did it with his left fretboard hand by relaxing his grip on the neck whilst playing across the damped strings - that's was what gave him the fluid style but with the chop sound. Easy to explain - only wish I could do it!

Wilko and Dr Feelgood came up in the London Pub Rock boom of the early 70's. He was the antidote to the virtuoso's of the 60's, and inspired punks like me to take up guitar. He created excitement, raw energy, not chin-stroking wonderment like John McLaughlin, say. I saw him many times around London. He was huge in Japan, and he had a red scratchplate on his Tele to hide the blood. Wilko could stretch time like no other, because bassist Norman Watt-Roy was equally gifted. Together, they were tighter than a duck's ass in a frozen pond...
