Terry Kath was BA! I'm old enough to remember when '25 or 6 to 4' was released, and I was blown away then, and still am. *RIP Terry*

Terry was a true innovator on guitar and there aren’t enough instructional videos about his playing style on YouTube...thanks for helping fill in some of that void...🎸🔊🎶🤘🏻

Terry's guitar work on the Carnegie Hall and Tanglewood concerts is really mind blowing. He played with total abandon, and played long flowing leads that were nothing less than White Hot. He was truly blessed and so is everyone who digs what he did. Robert Lamm said it best...'Terry was my hero"....mine too!

Great way to describe Terry's playing was incredibly fast "stream of consciousness". When he got going he seemed to be in a trance. The most intense player I have ever seen.

25 or 6 to 4 was the first Chicago song I ever heard and one of the first songs I learned on guitar, Terry's playing on that song is just incredible and I always thought that he was such an underrated guitarist

Very nice presentation. I was lucky enough to see him twice. Basically, he stood in one spot and played like an animal. A very talented one. I knew I was watching someone special. The whole band was great.

Terry Kath is high on my list of all-time great players. A big inspiration on my playing, even though I don't even come close to what he was able to do. Thanks for this lesson.

I finished learning 25or6to4 last year. Took me 3 years along with Rood Mood. Both were the funnest songs to learn. I grew up with Chicago. 5yrs old listening to Chicago Transit Authority. Jeff, this is way kool. This is 40 years overdue! Nicely done, bro!

Check out the 1970 live video of Chicago playing 25 or 6 to 4. One of my favorite live videos.

I got to see him play live back in the day. Mesmerizing.

Jeff I've watched it seems countless how to play xxx on guitar and currently one on piano which I don't play but have divided to do a solo at my wedding in February. Anyway they are all just painfully long and it takes so long to get to the next part. You are of all the best (at least for me) I have seen. You are clear precise and you move at the right speed. Thanks



Terry is as much the reason I play guitar today as any. I started a good bit before Chicago came out (I've been playing more than 50 years) but boy when they did. Chicago became my favorite band and Terry my favorite guitarist.

I saw an interview with Robert Lamm where he said “Terry always improvised his solos live. And he would sometimes back himself into a corner musically, during a solo, and then would somehow muscle his way back out of it. “He played with raw power. Sometimes it looked like he might break the neck on his guitar.

Man Terry was one of the best! Awesome video!

And for some odd reason, Terry isn’t ever listed in any “top 100” guitarist of all time. Sad!

Terry didn't use a Fuzz Face...just a Maestro and MuTron II. Thanks for the video and recognition for Mr. Kath.
