This is my Husband's account but I just wanted to share that he passed away on Dec. 15, 2022 of Covid and pneumonia at 65. He was a blues fan since he was a little boy. Ten years ago, my Husband and I got to see Joe Bonamassa in concert in Tulsa, OK. Joe had about 14 guitars on a rack on the side of the stage beside him. Before the night was over, he had played each and every one of them and melted our faces off. I thank God that my husband and I got to share this experience together. Thank you, Joe!!

If the only people that can criticize a person are people of equal or greater skill to that person then there would be no reason for critical thinking at all. Especially not in the arts. Just because you haven't heard a negative thing said doesn't prove the non-existence of such a thing it means you've not looked very hard. Joes playing is of an extreme level of skill but he is wont to stand on the backs of those that came before him. Most of his techniques are better utilized by the players he emulates. He just happens to have mastered a great many of such techniques making him both an amazing player but in turn a very predictable and (to some) very boring musician. Other points of ire are his ego, rampant guitar collecting, collaborations, etc... I say all this as a person that admires him greatly but I detest when people suggest someone is beyond criticism.

Hi, I'm Bobby. There are always haters. Joe is exceptional and he knows this. He does have a little attitude but wtf he's probably went through a lot of let downs, turn downs and being a musician (drummer) it's tuff getting anywhere but he shrugged it off and made it. I have heard him call the whole audience a bunch of assholes because when coming in the door and giving them your ticket they gave a cheap harmonica as a souvenir.BUT, the noise they made screwed up his tuning,sound so on and so forth. I love his music. Him Doyle Brahmhall ll and Stevie Ray are my favs and I lost my wife of 22 years march of this year so blues are a daily routine for me. Anyway haters will be haters so let them be the fools they are. On a last note, the Bass player that usually plays with Joe, passed away 2 days ago. Something made me feel I should reach out to you as I could feel your pain. Just try and remember good times and Pray a lot. You take care. Bobby K.

Time for you to go purchase a little $200 fender stratocaster from your local guitar shop. Learn your major chords and how to transition between them....then the minors.....try CAG together (in that order) and see what they sound like.....;) I hope you take this advice, It will open up a whole new chapter and hobby and somethign cool to do in your life. Even if your 55, its never not the right time to pick up an acoustic and just pluck it for fun. Some easy intro's to learn: Pink Floyd - wish you were here, the intro to Nothing Else Matters by metallica, smoke on the water, give it a shot, sir.

Joe's phrasing is absolutely superb i love how he instinctively knows what to play be it fast lines or just pulling back and letting the music breathe such a class act!

A fantastic rendition of this legendary Gary Moore's tune. Joe at his highest best !
