Im happy that Joe plays a lot in interviews. So many players sit there and hold a guitar and dont play or teach us much of anything.

To a point. Yes, having the artist actually play is great. Some, and Joe is sometimes guilty of this, play too much. When the interviewer is talking and setting up the next topic, they keep noodling. Like they're bored and not really listening to what's being said. Most of them do it with the volume down and it's more of a "habit" kind of thing. And to be honest, If I had a choice I would rather have that than the ones that sit and don't touch the guitar. Andy Summers did a lot of that. Play one chord then just peter out. I don't remember him playing hardly at all.

Joe is always happy to share what he's learned. Master musician yet honest and humble 💙🎸🎶🎤❤️

even though i do not like his music, Joe is a great player, geek and I can listen to him talk gear all day. it is great to see passionate people that are successful and Joe definitely deserves it.

Being a guitarist that uses a simple rig myself...I have to agree w/ Bonamassa. He's been a brilliant player for a long time!

The best thing about this clip and the whole Bonamassa interview is seeing how down to earth and overall nice of a person Joe is, combined with Rick's honest reaction to talking to him. In these interview situations one often needs to fake the interest on the actual answers and topic. Just ask anybody who does that for a living. Many times it's another day at the office. But you can truly see Rick's respect , admiration and enthusiasm when talking to Joe. The grins and smiles are all unmistakably genuine. Even if Rick is lucky enough to only interview people he truly admires. Here, even if he wanted he wouldn't be able to hide he's enjoying this exchange way more than anybody ever would just your job. A testament to both men really. Joe humbleness and approachability despite the massive talent makes this easier. But Rick's kid in a candy store enjoyment is never threatened by any attempts of hiding it, which is what somebody with a big ego would do. Because there is none on both sides of the road in this interview. Delightful and informative seldom go together as it does here.

Bonamassa, such natural brilliance. He's a treasure and I can't get enough of him. What a beautiful soul and presence.

That Les Paul is beautiful and sounds even better. Joe knows how to pick em too!

I always love these guys that are the best in the world and have no ego.

The lighting makes that burst just burst out of the screen. It’s all I can look at.

That Les Paul sounds glorious

I'm a fan of his music and actually really enjoy Joe's informal playing like in this vid a lot

Joe doesn’t always play this ways in his songs because he has many different tones he can use, but man that British blues thing is perfect with the bridge pickup through the Marshall. Amazing

Joe B . Cool on the inside and cool on the outside . A mad man on stage . Blues legend . ✨✨✨🎸✨✨✨🇺🇸🎼🎼🎼

Seeing Joe at the Ryman this summer and can’t wait!!!

Finally subscribed, and thank you for what you're doing with Beato 2. In a nutshell, I've appreciated Les Paul tone because it's always (from the '60's on) seemed like it channeled the human voice, a soul singing through it whereas, unless heavily effected, a Strat or Tele sounded like an electrified device. Then, of course, there was Freddie King playing small clubs live here in Texas diming a Super and willing his soul through a 335 with metal finger picks, a sound apart like the difference between a flashlight and a welder's arch. A wise man explained to me years ago there are musicians, performers, and entertainers. When we experience a performing musician who is also an entertainer they seem imbued with the Divine and we feel attracted, awed, and blessed. Please take care of yourself so we can enjoy your great work for many years to come. doc

That was funny when he said he gets a running start up to the Mike to hit that note lol

Joe’s vibrato technique is a bad copy from Paul Kossoff’s one. Better study Gary Moore, he had a better vibrato.

Incredible

Rick, I wish you would have discussed the settings you were using that day, on the jubilee, and what pedals he was using, if any, people want to know the specifics. e.g. where did you have the output master and lead master set when you recorded this?

Fantastic interview and very insightful ❤

This is what I don't like about modelling amps, they can make your guitar sound a certain way, even with different amps. It's just so much more rewarding to explore the tones in you guitar and amp, I think everyone should learn this way if they want to master the instrument and not some software package - rant over 🙂

Nobody in the audience can tell the difference through a PA. Enjoy your tube amps at home, I certainly do! But save yourself pain and energy and use a modeller live. I do as well. Heck, I recorded 3 songs with my band recently and only brought my Helix for convenience. We live in the golden age for guitarists, embrace it. Rant over :)

WOW, delightful!

Melody overall is the most important of music.

What a player. Always amazes me.

I'm a huge blues and guitar fan. Four of us went to see him in Ottawa. We walked out half way through. The performance was was so disconnected from the audience. We were not the only ones. He is an amazing guitar player, but there was something missing for all of us. Just my 2 cents.

Nothing better than a Paul through a Marshall.

I have a boss katana and an SG custom and a DD8 delay… I can do so much with that 😊 for under $1000

In my top 3 favorite guitarist of all time!!!

Joe has such tasteful interesting phrases. Epitomises blues. I loved that solo beginning. Not gimmicky but hooky

Respectfully that tone sounds a bit unforgiving but Joe sounds great on it. What a player.

Good tone

HE'LL YEAHHH BOTHER!!1! JOE BUNNAMUSSA!! THE ULTIMATE GUITAR HOSS1! GOBBLESS HOSS!

I'm glad you had Joe on because I love the way Joe plays thank you Rick

Joe, do you still have that Great Candy Apple Red Custom Telecaster from when you were 11 years old and played it on that TV show with Barny Fiffe.

I think he had his best tone when he was using Buddha Amps.

Which Fret is the Cowbell Sound, near Original Cowbell (String crossed over String, and hold pressed Fret and Dot, or not Dot) the flex. and High Tec, amazing, the best for creative Situation, and? ... ... Search, use and find.

Marshall's are great amps for maintaining the character of the guitar. Whether it be a Les Paul, a Strat, or a Tele - the Marshall's will let each guitar shine in the appropriate application. And Marshall's allow you to go from crunch to clean when rolling back the volume on the guitar. Add a good overdrive to push the front end, and you got smooth, singing lead tones.

The best guitarist , period.

The great joe walsh said "take yer guitar plug it into the amp and turn it up".

Let the natural vibe of the guitar shine through. Exactly. Pretty much the opposite of gimmick Tom Morello.

Rick I am subscribed and bought your teaching materials.

So true Joe! It’s so important to use the lower frets in your solo’s and not spend too much time on the 12th fret and up shredding away! Variety is the spice of life! And singing is critical. There’s a plethora of ass kicking guitarists out there, believe me! There are a lot fewer guitarists out there who can also sing! I prefer to sing and play guitar. As the saying goes, “the hardest instrument to play is the voice”!!!

I subscribed bro

when Joe playes "a bit" during an interview, it usually sounds way better than a lot of peoples records, that they've spend days or weeks and more in a studio to achieve.......yep

Where is the full interview!!!!

Jim Babjak (Smithereens) has a tuner pedal...period. 😎

Cool

A band that I was in opened for "Bloodline" in the mid ninties, he was very good , being chaparoned by his Dad . LoL !

Well that was cool but I didn't get much tone advice out of it. Idk, he is not the only one, I have seen other players seem reluctant to get into the nitty gritty of what settings yield what tones. So who else noticed that he kept fiddling with the neck Tone pot but the switch was on the bridge pup?

I like Jim McCarty of Mitch Ryder and Cactus fame.

Don’t get a cold, ok, check ✅

"Singing is the hardest thing....its so predicated by how you feel..." i got the allergy blues.

Not feeling the tone but, he can play cool licks.

Does Joe own Alvin Lee's 335?

Some people get great tone by practicing what they play I get great tone by pressing play!

Top wrap...

The real joe bonamassa pls stand up

❤❤❤

At last a guitar player who talks about singing!

BIG FAN! I saw Joe this past fall in Providence, RI and already have my tickets to see him in Hyannis, MA at the Cape Cod Melody Tent this August! He is amazing!

I remember following you since you've been about 16 very very very very very good. You guys need to write some hits you got the technique you might as well quit worrying about that you develop that when you're a little boy you're really good son listen to Jimmie Vaughan Derek trucks everybody's looking for a sound it's your fingers😊

@Rick-su9ol That's the problem i do not have cash. I am retired and on SS. I live in a retirement home, and i dont have extra cash. These poor underprivileged kids want to learn guitar. I had 3 different quotes sent to the school, and they seem to be stalling. The school bought 3 amazon guitars that are nothing but toys and can not be tuned, and the action is a 1/2 inch off the frets. No truss rod. I would hussel the guitars myself, but i have had cancer twice, chemo and radiation, and a full prostatectomy. Im just looking for ideas. 👍

That was a cool interview, but did I miss the part about tips to improve your guitar sound???
