Better guest…? You have Joe Bonamassa (!!) the only way to get better guests is to have God send Jimi and Stevie Ray back for a interview.
Here's the list: 1) "The Thrill is Gone" / BB King 2) "Scuttlebuttin'" / SRV 3) "Blues Power" / Albert King 4) "Fire & Water" / Free (Paul Kossoff) 5) "Voodoo Child" / Jimi Hendrix - SRV versions

I first heard the Duster Bennett version. Then I heard Peter's version. That opening is the perfect fit for the song. It is a master class in feel. It also teaches a lesson an old teacher tried to impart to me. "Soloing is like talking. If you say too much nobody listens. So learn to stop talking and you'll learn how to solo."

Kossoff was unbelievable. Joe mentioned Andy Frasier as well. One of the best bass players there was.
The Fish and chips response is brilliant😂 Great interview as always, thank you.
These guys are true fans of music and guitars. The details regarding which tone, switch, pickups, amp were using it's just amazing. Normal musicians or hobbyists can't get that deep.
That sound he gets when he switches to the neck pickup is glorious.

@@situationunchanged9733 To me and from what Bonamassa said himself what makes the old guitars "Better is a combination of things. The materials used back then which were of a higher grade not like the cheaper stuff most use these days. and also the guitar has been played a LOT! So the parts are aging from playing it, the parts are a better grade and things like that is what makes them sound warmer and richer. There is nothing wrong with a Murphy Lab aged Les Paul but the aging was not done by playing it. That is why those old Japan made Les paul's from Greko, Burny,etc sound as good as a Gibson. the Japanese were using the same exact materials to build them and they used actual Gibson's to make them.

Ah Paul Kossoff, such a talent. Free - what a band. Such emotional, at times tortured, singing/crying/wailing from a guitar. But I'm biased. He wasn't a high-speed technical shredder but so what - the feel was everything. Unbelievable vibrato. Check out the slow blues "Going Down Slow" on Free's first album, Tons of Sobs.
totally concur with the mushy peas! Great guy, as usual!
I been subscribed since you opened it.
Still Got The Blues, Gary Moore’s solo. Also, his solo on Story Of The Blues.
When I saw Free at Brighton Dome in the early 70s Kossoff wasn’t 100% and Rogers played some guitar, PK still blew it away though. Their back line at that gig was Orange … IIRC.
Excellent stuff. A must for any guitarist, at whatever level. BB & Kossof for tone, Jimi & SRV for chops, Albert King for the joy of it and all of them for musicality. But I'm sorry Joe, but I'm a Brit, been eating fish & chips since I was knee high to a grasshopper - but I hate mushy peas.

I love playing the blues as a guitarist. However, I love it the most when it's just an aspect of the musical 'language' as opposed to being the main style on offer. Think of almost solo by guitarist Joe Satriani and you get a good idea of what I like - the moods conjured using the modes, soloing over chord changes, but when employing 'blue notes', bends, double-stops and other things out of the blue trickbag to bring excitement and attitude. Again, it's where blues is providing a critical ingredient without being the only thing on the menu.
Hard work and credit where credit is due. That’s JB. 💜
Since I am old I usually think of 2 Clapton leads in Cream songs: Sunshine of Your Love, Crossroads
So I came to KZread so I can subscribe to your channel as you. In hours forced to endure a commercial. But I still subscribed because I enjoy what you do.
Alright now, Hot Legs and You May Be Right were our most loved covers - we did our best to respect the original but make it our own (touring originals based band with a handful of selective covers) - crowds would go NUTS - iconic songs to say the least. Free should soooo be in the R&RHOF
woops - SUB'd! Love your work Rick!
Appreciate the interview and admire those same solos. Have to say though, Beato and JB seem a bit like oil and water on this one. I just don't have Rick pegged as a guy who sits around around listening to a lot of Albert King, as broadminded a fan as he is. If I'm wrong, then in the future, I'd love to see guys like Stevie Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds; Jimmy Thackery, Anson Funderburgh, and all the old masters that all those guys were paying homage to (Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Freddie, Albert and BB King, Magic Sam, Buddy Guy--the list is endless) get the Beato video treatment. That would shine a light on a ton of wonderful music that perhaps the average music fan isn't hip to. I'd trade most of the videos about how crappy the Top Ten on Spotify are for one or two videos on Little Walter or Hubert Sumlin.

@@castleanthrax1833 I wish he'd do it more. Some shred too much and some too little. Joe shreds too little because he sure can do it. But I love the way he does it. You start thinking, does he only play slow blues and bam, 30 notes picked as cleanly as any 80s shredder fly by. And it's hard to shred in pentatonic or blues, I found some cool tips by Ben Eller how to do this STV, Johnson, Wylde, Bonamassa type blues scale shredding, you build it out of patterns that can be played fast and strung together. It takes some doing but it's a lot of fun and there nothing like playing slow blues and being able to add a bit of shredding in to liven it up and it emphasises the slow parts even more. I can't do it well yet but having a lot of fun with blues backing tracks, center position on a 3 way and blending the volumes for the perfect tone and trying to do the occasional Bonamassa style "in case you forgot I can shred" flight across the fingerboard. That along with Ellers technique of just focusing on the "1" with the downstroke and getting that right and the rest of the notes eventually linking up for clean picked notes, has really elevated my playing.
