So; the tape over the pedal settings, is it to hold the settings or for us to not see his settings?
I wish I could have a guitar built by Gibson for me. I would get a 58 tobacco burst LP with grovers and no pick guard and a 61 style 335 candy apple red with dot neck . I would love the 58 to have the Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates pickups in it and the 335 to have the burstbucker 3 pickups in it and I'd be good basically heaven. I bet they will sound great through my Budda 30 watt amp. Dreams of an old nobody.
Dumble overdrive special tone is unmistakable this Van Weelden must be a serious amp builder!
YES Thank You Musicians Friend !
Sounds Great Joe!
Joe doesn't pretend to be something he's not. I love that. He's just a good dude.
he pretends to be eric johnson
@@unabonger777 He's certainly hugely inspired and influenced by EJ but he wears a lot of his influences on his sleeve. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
This is hid old rack. He now uses custom Marshall Cabs, a couple super leads, some other stuff...? and a Friedman Brown Eye, (VH 1 early amp sound). sounds FANTASTIC...again BIG $$$$.
What's the name of the song in the intro?
@chuxgrandmaster It's "Blue and Evil" off of Joe's Black Rock album. And yes, it is kickass!
@helrazr84 well i that i can agree with that but ive heard some pretty close comparisons so i dont know but i just like a simple not so complicated amp i own a Rockerverb and it seems to pull off a both Fender and Marshall amps really well so im happy with that
@GrowTheCaine Well 3 of the 4 amps are custom made for Joe. And plus which is cooler on stage: one wimpy amp, or a multiple amp rig?!
Great insight!! thanks
@helrazr84 well i know people that build amps and im pretty sure they could copy the schematics of each of those amps and combine them they did that with the Rockerverb series from Orange by putting a Fender Reverb together with a Marshall Superlead so why not stuff like this?
@GrowTheCaine Sure you could probably combine designs into one amp but probably in reality it wouldn't quite sound the exact same as pairing the 2 amps. You can replace an entire pedal board with a Line6 M9 but it still isn't quite the same as having the actual pedals, as they still will sound different. Joe is at the level where he can play whatever he wants and he feels this is the best way to get "his" sound. His tone is always good so who cares how he gets it!
whats the name of the song they use at the beginning of the video? love that song!
Bonamassa is not a rip of Eric Johnson, but he definitely was influenced by him. clearly the way he sees pentatonics and arpeggios are very close to E.J., not to mention his scalar picking technics.
actually I knew Joe first, and then I became a fan of Eric later. Love them both. I don't have any problem mistaking them for each other.
Kickass intro! (Before Joe starts playing no offense to him haha) Any idea if that's part of a song or anything? Or what the tab is for it?
where does he gets his distortion? from pedals or the amp distortion?
Thought I heard some Ej right at the end :)
@rashesthippo Hi, the song is blue and evil
Joe is such a non pretentious person.. so refreshing.. that tone though
i thought the 58 les paul neck was supposed to be thinner than the 59....i've never played a real 58 but the 59 standard i tried was pretty thick!
VERY INTERESTING!!! Thank You Joe!!!!!!
What's the song at the beginning?
Category 5 seem great but hard to find used, the Carol-Ann and Van Weelden are BIG $$$$! LOL, Eric has managed to single handily drive the price up of the Marshall Silver Jubilee, they were never that expensive prior to him becoming popular.
And all these years I thought no one could cop EJ like EJ could.
I have this funny feeling, I "could" be wrong mind you, that Joe B L_i_k_e_s Eric Johnson's lead style. Just a "little".
people who says that bonamassa is a rip of Eric johnsson is just plain stupid and can't compare guitarists...
I this exact same set up. Jokes I have a line 6 spider.
LMAO when he says about hunting you down and adopting the guitar back if you treat it wrong haha!
A really nice, professional, four-channel rig. 👍
mine is not like that. The hoboroadie has five or so crappy olden ampes strung together like Homer Simpson's Christmas Lights. It's not pretty, but it simulates a tone.
sort of... 🙈
Can someone please tell me the name of the song at the start? Thanks
Blue and evil
I'm #77! You're a MIND Reader! I was hoping this,was next!!!! 143444444!!!!!
we need a bonamassa marshall head!
Slash too
Oh, hello there eric johnson
would love to have a Joe Bonamassa Les Paul but the price of over 6,000 bucks is a bit much for most of us.....
What kind of mic is that?
i m guessing sennheiser 421
I'm not a huge fan...but man...his tone is awesome. There must be something to using two amps at once in a live setting.
ow yes i was hopping/dreaming for this
who´s this song?
Silver Jubilee is outstanding. John Frusciante has one.
Joe is really a good talker...
He has 35 years of guitar playing experience, that's more than some who have been in the largest bands.
First of all let me say that I am a fan of Joe, He is too cool for school... However how much gear does one person need at any one time?
More gear=different sounds so that songs don't sound so much alike. Sure some dudes will sit there and enjoy it, but some others like their wives might say, all the songs sound alike. Because the guitarist played the same guitar through the same amp with no pedals all night. Don't give me the it's all in your fingers bullshit. If it was, we would not need electric guitars at all. We could all just play ukes with one string! Look at me, one string uke!
@XMathis if it sounds good and he can afford to use it.. why the hell not?! it only makes it better to see live :)
Announced the only Van Weelden Twinkle Land in the US? LOL
Not even dream bout it here in Brazil!
@kirkhetfieldtrujillo i just find it a little rediculious that he needs 4
Some songs probably want a particular tone. I am not familiar with Joe's tunes but only four, and no pedals? That's just a simple setlist. 🎸
yeah some one just said they like his pudgy playing better than now that he lost his baby fat!!! lol im laughing cause i guess thats what i was trying to say he was a wildman when he 1st was on the scene and now he seems to have mellowed..okay lets hear it for the long lost pudgy Joe.. he's prob gonna kill me for sayin this lol
basically if you abuse the guitar you get to meet Bonamassa :P haha
Evm12l is the best speaker
Sounds like Eric Johnson's 80's tone with a humbucker. He sounds better with a Strat.
You're right, i think maybe he just mixed them up.
reminds me a lot of jason segel...
@sportsportsport So you're pretty close. lol
He is famous to other people, apparently you haven't noticed???
Dig that candy blue
1 dislike was the roadie who has to set all the amps up...
" It's basically a simple rig"...:D
I'm going to buy one of those guitars and mistreat it just so I can meet Joe!
I treat all my guitars like farm animals while I'm playing them. When not in use I treat them like my babies. I think that's what they are for . Where's JB ???
so sad he stoped building them -.-
Joe is great! but he's so tired of doing this gear demos.. you can really hear it..
i'll probably be tared and feathered for saying this but I dont like his tone anymore Just not my tatse. I liked his tone when he used a strat and a marshall like in bloodline. my .02c
I love being a nerd.
I like the playing of the pudgy Joe Bonamassa more that the skinny Joe Bonamassa.
why does he need 4 amps when he could ask anyone to make him a custom amp?....wtf? unneeded
candie apple blue? looks green! very deceiving.
If he wouldnt wear those gay sunglasses when he plays he might get famous
Anything you can't play, Joe?
I bet it takes this dude all week to get sick of his soloing
get a grip buddy im posing a question its not the end of the world.
Joe i like you but please next time say to hello Eric Johnson while this kind of interviews you have appreciate him because your sound and licks just like him.. ERIC JOHNSON'S influence on you looks like more than a influence. Thanks.
