John Butler guitar lesson

Posted by Jon in • Guitar Legends,

After seeing the John Butler Trio on Saturday night at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney I thought it was about time to do a feature on John Butler, he is an incredible guitarist and throughout the gig showed his talent for Banjo, lapsteel and distorted Ukele with a bit of Wah Wah thrown in… I think thats the first time I’ve seen that!

The video I have embedded is a lesson from John on warm up techniques that he recorded for Guitar World Magazine and although it is all using open tunings most of the techniques can be reapplied to standard tuning.

The amount of energy that the John Butler Trio put into a performance is amazing, it certainly sounds much more like a 5 or 6 piece band. For those who have never heard of him I strongly recommend you check him out. Here is a video performance of Ocean to get you in the mood.
