pappy Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just listened to JB play Dust Bowl. One of my favorite guitarists and a strong proponent for keeping the Blues alive. https://www.facebook...564659/?fref=nf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Dust Bowl is good. I still love Different Shades of Blue tho. That's prob my fav. Did ya know... He's got a new album coming out in about a month or so. And as said if you ever get the chance, go to a show, awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I must admit, I have come to study Joe Bonamassa quite late in the game. I have heard of him for years, but never had the opportunity to listen to his recordings or to watch any videos of him playing live. Quite recently though, I have taken the time to sit down and give a listen, and WOW. Joe is a SENSATIONAL guitar player. Man oh man. Unbelievable chops. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampash Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 A lot of people like to bash Joe but I think he's great. Check him out on Facebook and Instagram. He's always posting little videos of him at home noodling on one of his incredible Guitars or posting gratuitous gear photos. I like because he is a great player. I like him even more because he's very humble about his fame and his playing ability and is very good to his fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappy Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes , my first experience with Joe was a video when he was 12 years old playing with BB King. You have to laugh at the video, because Joe is making some really hilarious faces and the look on BB's face was priceless. What a thrill that had to have been to be that young and be invited to tour with the King.I saw that a about two years and and became an avid fan of Joe's. I really screwed up two months ago as Joe played a very intimate venue here in the Atlanta area and I forgot all about it.It was an extremely busy time of the year for me and my family and I plumb forgot about the concert. Kicking self in butt.[angry]But I am sure he will make it back this way again ,and this time I will not miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I too love the fact that he is on a mission to help save the genre' and he is so humble...I also happen to love his collection of guitars...wow By the way if anyone wants to see David Gilmour in Chicago in April send me a message I have three seats i am selling for the face value plus Ticketmaster fees I am not trying to make money just need to get rid of them.

kidblast Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I don't see the point in bashing, especially a guy like Joe, he is pretty much a "what ya see is what ya get" kind of guy. You either like someone, or ya don't. I don't like the Stones, but I won't berate them or denigrate them. They deserve all the props they have been granted. I just don't care for the music they produce. I guess I digress. Best to just leave the hate out of it is all I'm sayin. unless it's rap, hip hop or that hoe Beyonce... then of course, all bets are off!!!

Guitar God Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Love Joe! PHENOMENAL musician! Puts on one great show, too. If you haven't had the chance to see him live, I highly advise you to! I've seen him live twice and both times were absolutely incredible! You will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I played a jazz gig at an antiques fair 4 years ago and this guy came up to me and said how about some Satriani or Bonamassa. I said Bonamassa who? I'd never heard of him and didn't realise he'd been around for quite a few years. I also replied that sadly Satriani would be too full on for an antiques fair, even though I would have liked to do a solo version of Satch Boogie! I like Bonamassa's playing and he seems like a nice guy so don't get why people bash him. Plus he's got a sweet guitar collection too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've heard he's gone so far as tuning down a 1/2 step. "What do you think they'll do to me ?" "Oh you'll probably get away with crucifixion, best thing the Romans ever did to us. NAIL 'EM UP, NAIL SOME SENSE INTO 'EM !" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Funny... I was just listening to Slow Gin. One of my all-time favorite tunes. His "Live From Nowhere in Particular" version is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
