Every Time I Watch This...

I am reminded that I am not now, and will never be, a real deal guitar player! Asses are kicked, and names are taken.

Lord have mercy!

 

[Tony M.]

I'm not buyin' it.
You could probably bury that kid.
He doesn't even know enough to stay below the 12th fret.

Saw Joe at Red Rocks a few years back.
I was completely awestruck.

 

[RickP]

Yeah, I don’t see myself ever pulling off that kind of all around badassery. That’s everything rock is supposed to be.

 

[Going Modal]

Have mercy, Miss Percy!

 

[ViperDoc]

Sound like rock and roll to me. Nice.

Seen JB a few times... never a bad idea....

 

[BigChrisW]

Terrifying! ...and amazing!

 

[Gtrbldr]

He really does sound great

 

[László]

Not only has he achieved mastery of his craft; not only is his tone smokin'; not only can he create parts that blow the top of my head off; but that band is so f#cking tight it's beyond belief.

And he has stage presence, and can sing.

I've seen a lot of great bands and great players in their heyday - all of us have. This performance exceeds anything I've ever seen. It's fire.

 

[BrianC]

Second row seats for me a few years ago - WOW!

But especially his acoustic solo - best I ever heard

 

[Prina]

Impressive!

Shows you don't have to play Dazed and Confused below your crotch.

I figure if you're gonna play with anything crotch-related, it shouldn't be a guitar.

Love me some Bonamassa. I discovered him early on in his career. I have been following him for quite a while. He is a monster player. He has something that he considers a weakness in his playing that most of us would love to have. He can't play legato. He has to pick every note. I saw him talk about it in an interview once. I would love to be able to do that. I have to use legato because I can't pick that fast on those fast runs. I suppose if I focused on it I could speed it up a bit but the legato approach works for me.

His guitar tone in this video fits the 80's songs he pulls out better than Just Got Paid, IMHO.

Likewise. I've been on board since the Bloodline days of the mid 90s

 

[Wakester]

I saw him play back when he was 16 and just making a name for himself. I lived about 2 blocks down the road from him for 4 years. Didn't know he even existed until the local Rock radio station started promoting him. He has changed quite a bit from back then.

It Isn't Often That The Lightning In The Bottle Gets Captured.

This Performance Here Is Another Capture In My Book...

The tone works great in a context like this though, I think.

He really is not only a great player, and seems like a good guy, he’s a heck of an entertainer!

Yeah I agree, this is great stuff!

I agree! When he first came on the scene the talent was there but he played wayyy too many notes. But he listened and learned and became a very good singer as well. But is he my favorite performer? Oh no.
