Sheez! Playing traditional Blues pentatonics like that requires SOOOO many details SOOO many hours of playing and listening. There is a lifetime in those licks.
@@luxibrono, he’s not playing outside at all! He is obviously able to play outside if he wanted because he is a monster but isn’t the case on this video. And I agree a hundred percent that playing pentatonics like him in this video is a lifetime commitment.
Josh really takes the blues and injects funk, country, jazz, the phrasing and licks are just so good, and never feel like he is just playing fast for the sake for it. Great note choice, great everyrhing. The best!
The brilliant guitarist really spans the epochs heard including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robben Ford, Clapton, Freddie King , Albert King and Josh Smith :) . Big player. Josh greetings from Poland
Josh is an absolute monster player, it's so inspiring but also scary and intimidating. I can't even fathom the amount of hours behind an instrument you need to be able to come up with improvisation of that caliber.
@@medicine_box and the guy has zero ego. He was touring this year as Joe Bonamassa's backup guitarist. Granted Joe is more of a household name, Josh is so far beyond Joe playing wise.
i used to play that exactly lick hundred times when i broke into jazz in my teen days, i picked it up from Charlie Christian....i mean the short and brief lick from 3:43 to 3:45....
holy fucking shit serisouly I've never heard something like that before. Believe I've watch a tons of videos of all great guitarists but IMO you are the best improviser I've never ever seen
one of the true students of guitar and a Master of several styles! I am bragging on ya every chance I get! I wanna extrapolate as much from ya as I can. Love it man🏋🏽♂️👍🏾👏🏽✌🏽
Here a South African (livin in Australia)....Josh smith, Tab Benoit, Christone Kingfish....three grossly underrated guitarists that we'd never heard about if it wasn't for youtube.....how's it goin' in my beloved South africa???.....greetings fron South queensland
no one could ever match SRV, that's a fact...but Josh Smith's got his own name...There are quite a few guitarist in the 21st century blues scene whose names aren't really known...Josh Smith, Tab Benoit...and of course, Christone "Kingsman" Ingram, who kicks the devil out of the hell....Blues is safe, mate....
@@mytelecasterworld3336 oh god thanks for the lesson mate but those are all very well known blues players, and no SRV is not untouchable that is total hero worship nonsense you need to expand your knowledge of guitar players beyond blues and rock.
Wow i love josh smith hes up there defo with the best blues players his phrasing everything the licks coming out there wow surprise the guitar didnt have steam coming off it
Definitely hear some danny gatton in there not that it's a bad thing .. this guy I just recently discovered since I went underground after shredder after shredder became the way to play . Been a long time since I was excited to hear someone's material

Probably the best one for me right now.

That little slide he does around 1:16 is unbelievable
2:27 What? Listens a second time ....Wow!
I'm still trying to work it out!
@@JTCGuitar That comment is hilarious! You are an awesome guitarist! :-)
That signature Josh Smith tone and phrasing! Eyes close, I can definitely identify that it is him.
Outta box blues guitar player. Simply Awesome
Such a great player. Awesome phrasing and great tone.
Josh is an absolute monster player, it's so inspiring but also scary and intimidating. I can't even fathom the amount of hours behind an instrument you need to be able to come up with improvisation of that caliber.
Instant smile when I hear Mr.Smith do his magic !
Josh is almost too polished, borderline machine like. It's mind blowing.
I sense nothing machine-like about his playing. It's extremely tasty and musical.
@@griiseknoen I agree but I don't think that's how he meant it
Yet he still plays loose…and in flow which makes it that much sweeter
@@medicine_box and the guy has zero ego. He was touring this year as Joe Bonamassa's backup guitarist. Granted Joe is more of a household name, Josh is so far beyond Joe playing wise.
I could listen to Josh play all day...
That is just beautiful playing
After several painful weeks I have finally finished learning this
No way! Can u tab it for us lazy folk
After several painful weeks, I can play a reeeeeally convincing air guitar version of this.

Just when you think he will run out of tasty licks he hits you with another, and another, and another. Amazing!
unreal, wears it all day long, he is freakin amazing
The real deal. So tasteful! Thanks for inspiring us to keep at it.
Amazing performance of all that rich bluessy sound and musical language.
at 03:43 is one of the greatest timed and tastiest phrases of all. superb playing!
i used to play that exactly lick hundred times when i broke into jazz in my teen days, i picked it up from Charlie Christian....i mean the short and brief lick from 3:43 to 3:45....
Nobody Does it Better. When I think I've heard it all this guy sets me straight 😊🍻
One of my favorite guitar players. Love his playing a lot!
Theres a lick he does at 2.24 of the video blows me away
Ha tutto, precisione, timing, groove, e melodia...
Lo seguo da pochissimo, ma... mio dio... che tiro... ha un volume di pennata che è impressionante...
@@CarloMusicLessons .013 su tutte le sue chitarre. Ma non ditelo a Rick Beato, mi raccomando.
Awesome! Those blues chops have got to be unparallelled.
Incredible phrasing and taste - a master at work!
Oh my GOD...
Best blues i’ve ever heard...

Josh Smith The Best
One of the grossly underrated yet immensely talented elect guitarist in the entire world.South Africa....We hear you Josh!

This is so killer spot on!
Man I love his playing... after watching so many guitar vids I get so bored of it all then as soon as Josh starts playing my ears instantly perk up.
Completely masterful!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸 blues changes !!!!!
Damn, excellent. Goodness !
Great playing
Literally perfect
Just. Amazing!
Smooth as silk and still sweet sadness ... bad ass
Number one 💯
Something between Robben Ford and Greg Koch, amazing.
He smoked that solo so hard and this is prob just like a warmup jam for him. IMO if there’s any successor to SRV today, it’s Josh Smith.

It's awesome - and Josh looks he snagged a quick nap during the first half, despite the guitar being on fire :). So much stuff to learn from this ..!
Holy Cow Josh!!!
So much feel. I love it.
Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸👌
amazing
You do have such a great picking hand technique sir! And marvellous tone and timing. Thnx for this post🤙🏽
well, try to learn some country licks....get involved in country guitar, that's all....greetings from australia
The mid tone reminds me a bit of Robben Ford dumble tone, Josh has great style
Awesome!! 😮
This is big!
My respect for you
My Hero!
Awesome!
wow...great
Really great! Anybody know where to get backing tracks like that to jam to? Wonder which ones he uses.
Nicely DONE 👈
Thanks for the Head Massage💆♀️💆♂️
This is insane. 😯
🎼Amen to that !
Now, THAT'S, what I'm talkin' 'bout!!!!! Gimme a copy, I got some practicin' to do!

So melodic
Wow!
Definitely hear some danny gatton in there not that it's a bad thing .. this guy I just recently discovered since I went underground after shredder after shredder became the way to play . Been a long time since I was excited to hear someone's material
Magic ✌️
Grooving, with huge tasty licks all over the place! Great playing!
Yeah man one of the best
