Louie is a national treasure! Thanks for interviewing him.

Mr. Shelton deserves his own documentary.

@johnfoster4244 3 years ago

Louie's work on the Monkees alone was so signature.

I find a lot of knowledge in Louie.... I am so glad that he spends time with us here on YouTube

@David-vu7zy 2 years ago

I love how he is confident but humble. Very objective

@christopherkahn6522 3 years ago

Guitarists know Louis Shelton's contribution to music even if he was not featured in the documentary.

Rule 1 of research, check the hidden extras on a dvd.

@jtshark9283 3 years ago

There were up to 400 people who were part of The Wrecking Crew. They each took turns standing out

Loui...Your a living Legend. An American treasure. My friend Joe Chambers said to me what a nice guy you are. May he Rest in Peace. Looking forward to more John. Nice work. 👍🏼😎

One of my favorites. I loved Louis Shelton’s playing since I was eight years old watching The Monkees. Thanks, John. Keep ‘em coming!

🎸 Louie should've been in that movie. 🎸 🤗

Thanks John for a great interview. Have enjoyed Louie's playing for a long time and man, he is truly someone who 'served the song'. Remarkable touch and understanding of a groove. Just listen to Silk Degrees and hear how his rhythm playing is locked in to Jeff Porcaro's feel on the drums - they complimented each other beautifully! Best wishes Louie, you've given us a lot of cool stuff to enjoy

Very interesting interview.

Louie.. One of the treasure's Australia has had for years. He played on a song of mine a few years back, (with Bill Champlin on Lead Vocals). Louie played the solo in '1' take. One of the greatest session musicians, period! Great interviews John, K.

Such a classy person. He should have been in that movie. But he’s still such a major part of that era of music. Cheers Mr. Shelton.

Louie is a great guitar player and left his mark on the music scene of the mid 60s and 70s and beyond. What an amazing talent.

@moj0ryzin 3 years ago

This really cuts to the chase on why Louie Shelton is a legend and has played on so many hit records - he played anything the producers/bands asked him for (and more) regardless of his feelings about the music. Such an amazing guitarist and so humble - I have a lot of guitar heroes but this guy is the one I respect most.

Great question that elicited Louie’s thoughtful, insightful and informative response!! Tx!!

Great perspective from Louie Shelton on that era of anonymous session musicians. His performance on The Monkees' "Last Train To Clarksville" was the very definition of Chuck Berry's line, " but he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell." I just wish I had known it was Louie back in the summer of 1966.
