One of the greats! He doesn't feel the need to be out front taking over the show. Amazing really, here's a guy that can fill stadiums and he's happy to stand in the back and enjoy himself. A regular guy.
I saw Joe B. about a year ago or so and, being a guitarist for 50 years and having seen many others in my time, let’s say he didn’t disappoint. My son, who’s a touring bassist, said it was his best concert ever. He hung his hat on his blazing solos and I got stuck with learning music in the back with the hacks. I wonder if "the kid" 1)sold or 2)never touched again the LP and amp. Joe is the kinda guy you can sit and have a beer with. After the beer though I want to go to his place (guitar emporium of the US) and die ‘cause it don’t get betta dan dat!
Not even using his own gear but somebody elses from what I can tell. He's got that unique skill of always being heard in a mix (heard Lukather and Satriani next to him e.g. and they just disappeared in the mix). It's a combo of how he plays the chops - quick up to the point where they're still distinct and audible but not faster than that, and the sound that cuts without being piercing. So impressive to just use the amp and the guitar volume and nothing else.
I met Joe about 8 year or more, he was traveling alone going from small festivals to the next small bar.he was traveling in an old station wagon pulling a small trailer. Joe was playing at Court Street Grill in Pomroy , Ohio. I helped him carry and set up his equipment, hung around and had a couple drinks. Knowledge of the blues was very impressive and his drive and enthusiasm to be No. 1 left no questions. Then he played, and played him to get the parts heart out for the small crowd. I attended his concerts from Huntington, Wva to Columbus , Ohio and watch the crowd grow.
For anyone wanting to know how to add other notes to your Minor Pentatonic soloing over Blues Changes: (The guitar is tuned to Em Pentatonic EADGBE or EGABDE. If you can play in E, then just move everything to other frets for other keys.) 1) Make sure you can play the E Minor Pentatonic scale in all 5 of the CAGED positions. 2: Add in b5 for the Blues Scale. 3: Add in 2 and 6 from Dorian. 4: Add in the Major 3rd from Mixolydian. So now you are using Mixolydian with b3 and b5, two of the three Blues notes added in, along with b7 that was already there. Remember to go from b3 to 3, resolving upwards to a chord tone and not downwards. 5: Now there are only 3 notes left before you can use every single note in the Chromatic scale, b2/#5/7. These are truly “outside” notes, so use each of these 3 notes as Chromatic passing tones that resolve to chord tones. Here are some examples: play b7-7-1, 6-#5-5, b7-2-b2-1. 6: The most important notes to target in each position are 3-7 known as “guide tones” (the tritone) because they most define that Doninant 7th chord sound. Equally important, of course, is knowing where the root, 1 of the chord, is in each of the 5 CAGED positions. - - - That is how to be able to play every single note, all over the neck, over a Blues. Next step? Jazz!
Gaahh....love this clip! No egos...just a bunch of gr8 dudes jamming. Horns in the front, ”superstar” in the back, great musicians all the way around....and I’m not only talking about that cool bassplayer! This is how it’ s done.
My 1st guitar was A Hondo 3. A black Les Paul replica just like the actual Gibson Joe has there......well. kinda......obviously....LOL....I have been a closet musician my entire life....I am 50 and have been fortunate to have seen everyone from Elvis to Iron Maiden. Yes, my LOVE of music has caused me to have a broad range of likes. I only recently, about 6 months ago discovered Joe....wow. What a talent. Does this little group of spectators realize how lucky they were that night?? Joe is up there with ALL the greats in my book....The guitar is a part of him. There are just some that are in that "different" category. EVH....SRV....JH....JP.....EC...DG......too many in my list but, for sure JB is on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree most wholeheartedly. One of the greatest things about Joe is despite his unbelievable talent, accomplishment and knowledge he does not have a fat head. Very down to earth guy. Very admirable.
oh my.....can play anything with anybody....a real player....Joe appreciates great music...He and Paulie are pals they tour together....fabulous!!! No one better....no one
It was once said by joe. That by the age of 9 he’d put in more hours on the guitar than any of his contemporaries at that age. You can hear Clapton , Moore , king , Hendrix , Gilmour and even satch in his playing. True meaning of the word virtuoso Amazing!!!
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! It's great to see Joe just sitting in with a band that is not his own and going with the flow! It would be cool if Travis had his Dad Larry sit in at the same time... Thanks for sharing !
I believe Joe would be as happy standing in the back, stepping out to shred a solo as he is leading a whole band with his own gig. He just loves to be involved.
Two things I always love - seeing and hearing Joe play and your videos of him! Always like the lineups at the Baked Potato too and wish I lived closer so I could go there.
After listening to the band for a while I must say they sound pretty damn good, cudos guys. I guess that's why they're worthy of Joe sitting in with em. 😁
what is it about the Baked potato that just brings out the jazz in everyone ,, been like that for as long as i can remember and that goes back to the GIT daze
@@DaveDexterMusic That's a really stupid comment! The OP's statement applies to athletes as well. A world class tennis player is going to outplay me (and that's putting it nicely!), with any racket you hand him. You wouldn't expect a world-class athlete or musician to choose to play on s*** gear! Why? Because they would have to work harder and be at a disadvantage with their peers. More to the point: BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO! Then there's the issue of sponsorships. Bonamassa has manufacturers making guitars with his name on them! Amateurs should spend more time working on their skills, and less time worrying about getting the latest, greatest gear.
i agree that gear is not as important as some might thing, and skill/talent/practice is way more important - that said an Orville By Gibson is a high end guitar made in Japan to Gibson specs, and the amp he plays here surely is not a potato
Great musicians love great gear, but don’t need great gear to be great. All they need is the confidence and understanding that they are doing what they love to do no matter what resources they are given 🙌🏻👽
Yep it is. Don't know if you checked the head stock. It is an Orville. It is a made in Japan Les Paul copy (granted made for Gibson) to combat the Made in Japan (MIJ) copies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orville_by_Gibson I have a Burny version from 1992 LP Custom with the Japan version of the original PAF style pickups (VH1's) and they are awesome. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burny Indeed Joe Bonamassa spoke about how only the old style pickups from Gibson gave a tone he liked.
TOO MUCH FUN LINDA !!!!!! GREAT JOB/THANKS BUNCHES/UNTIL NEXT TIME/I LOVE YOU !!/XOXXOX!!!!!...........H A P P Y N E W Y E A R L I N D A !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VVVVERRRRRY NICE SURPRISE!!! YA... I KNOW!!!! Joe was at ARTHUR'S MUSIC STORE IN INDIANAPOLIS LAST SATURDAY! That Store closes at 5:00 on Saturdays & I worked till 6:15. I figured He was already back on the Road...ALWAYS ON THE ROAD. I'M STILLLLLLL Replaying it in My mind. Am looking...HEARING forward to HEARING the RICKENBACKER AMP that He got there! Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!!
Hello Linda straight from Brooklyn! Thank you so much for this video! I've seen a lot of performances by JB-here there and everywhere & in the Albert Hall. But this is something !!! Extremely sensual performance is the best imo! And even I think this is a replica of Gibson, but the sound is excellent, the best. This is how it happens. And the group also kicks into the buzz-everything. I got my share of the pleasure with no doubt. Thanks a million ✌😉👍
Joe often mentions how much he enjoys "just being in the band". Never more evident than on the Rock Candy Funk Party at the Iridium vid. Awesome 70's inspired disco grooves, funkzilla! For those who'd like to know.

He makes others shine bc he knows how to share. He shines even in the dark. 🤩🎸🎵
This is where Joe B. is at his best IMO. The small clubs and bar gigs are some of his best performances. Feeling the funk!
I saw Joe B. about a year ago or so and, being a guitarist for 50 years and having seen many others in my time, let’s say he didn’t disappoint. My son, who’s a touring bassist, said it was his best concert ever. He hung his hat on his blazing solos and I got stuck with learning music in the back with the hacks.

I don't know.... check out his TH-cam videos at the Greek. He's pretty damn "funky"!
I agree man, i like the power trio thing, rock palast was a great concert... Joe is a monster either way though.
I saw him the night before last at this very club. Amazing performance!
and hanging out at Norm's.....he's just down to earth and humble and cool....
Not even using his own gear but somebody elses from what I can tell. He's got that unique skill of always being heard in a mix (heard Lukather and Satriani next to him e.g. and they just disappeared in the mix).

Volume count for a LOT when it comes to being heard. He's a volume bully. And I love it!

This is what i love about joe he just loves to play he dont need to hog the lime light. One of the greatest of all time your a class act joe

That is so cool that Joe is playing a small venue.
I’ve heard hundreds of performances from Joe. This is one of my favorite.
I’ve come to realize Travis Carlton is in EVERY band 👍🏼😄
Yep lol
Joe is doing some killer backing here
Thanks for the share Joe at his best
if this sounds good on a smartphone, imagine the vibes in that place. damn impressed with the whole band 👍
Amen!
My main man Joe Bonamassa !!! Thanks much Brother. God bless you.
Bonamassa is such a humble and accommodating guy. I love his music and can’t wait to see him here in Orlando in February.
prepare to be awed...as good as vids and dvds are, nothing compares to live...You are gonna Love it! Enjoy!
@@alansmith7626 That is so true Alan! Joe puts on a killer show!!!
Agree most wholeheartedly. One of the greatest things about Joe is despite his unbelievable talent, accomplishment and knowledge he does not have a fat head. Very down to earth guy. Very admirable.
Is there nothing joe cant do wrong 🎸🥊🤗🤗
Alan Smith Yes, I saw him several years ago here at the Hard Rock Live too. He was fantastic.

Glad to see a couple New Yorkers and fellow JD alum (Paulie) doing what they love! Thanks for posting
Cool!...Joe is playing a made in japan Orville custom...love those guitars
My fav performance of Joe. When he is just all improv, he is soo good!
I love how he's playing guitar on the sax 🎷 🎸
Great playing from Joe when he's not the main guy. Can listen to this all day, great ensemble, thanks for the post!
They should have had him sing as well!
Sacks player is leading all on. making this one of the BEST videos ever for me.
oh my.....can play anything with anybody....a real player....Joe appreciates great music...He and Paulie are pals they tour together....fabulous!!! No one better....no one
Very cool! It just shows that Joe B, is one of us! Yayyyyyyyy.
The thrill of playing in such small space ...
Wow. Travis Carlton is everywhere.
... one of the very best !
He's behind you, don't look ... o.O
I forgot to note how good the band is!!! Good stuff guys!!! Luv the horns and the vox!!!!!
Damn... On another level. Another dimensional planetary musical galactic experience. Damn it man.
Well...When GREAT MUSICIANS gather together , miracles happends

Awesome great Band that bass player is killer 🔥 Hot you all sound good thanks for the music i enjoyed your show Joe is a class act.
Bonamassa is just smokin’. It’s like his guitar and fingers explode into fire. Wonderful to watch!
Amazing Band
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! It's great to see Joe just sitting in with a band that is not his own and going with the flow! It would be cool if Travis had his Dad Larry sit in at the same time... Thanks for sharing !
How can I give this more than one like?
Joe @36:53 :It plays good!
Orville Les Pauls are the new holy grails for me :D
Kenny is also an amazing guitar player and excellent human!
that was fun to watch
I believe Joe would be as happy standing in the back, stepping out to shred a solo as he is leading a whole band with his own gig. He just loves to be involved.
That kentucky windage been on joes mind..love this guy
Two things I always love - seeing and hearing Joe play and your videos of him! Always like the lineups at the Baked Potato too and wish I lived closer so I could go there.
HTroutman Thanks! And I quite enjoy being able to video these gigs. Fantastic musicianship like these guys have should be promoted and shared 😊
Never thought I would see Joe play an Orville
Dude really likes his cymbals
You always seem to be in the right place at the right time Linda
That amazes me too LOL
My dream is to play in a place where everyone respects the music. Seems like such a good environment. I have to visit the baked potato sometime
After listening to the band for a while I must say they sound pretty damn good, cudos guys. I guess that's why they're worthy of Joe sitting in with em. 😁
Thanks for sharing. Very cool!
Killer band! Joe is really expanding; great playing.
Killer! Love the expressions from the other guitarist whenever Joe plays a killer lick. Great stuff. !
first time i really enjoyed what joe played :)
we'll alert the proper authorities
Travis the groove machine😊
Travis is Fantasic!!!
That dude with the SG is funky....
trombone? absolutely killed it brilliant.
Thank you again and again.
Wish you all a happy new year and delightful holydays from Israel.
Regev1970 Happy New Year back to you and Israel 😊
I want that picture on a Tee-shirt. The two horns with joe splitting them in the back. Too cool 😎
Thank God we have JB ...
What an absolutely amazing performance. Very inspirational
wow, thats Joe how i like him best. Even his guitar m8 on his right has a hugh grin on his face.......music how it should be. Great.
4:16 I like how the vocalist turns back around playing strings on brass! Look at his thumbs! That's cool!
That would of been a treat to play with joe....band sounds good....
Once again missmoke007 brings us some Joe!!! Great jam!
This is simply awesome. Loved this music and video.
Groove Legacy has got it going on. Please come to Murfreesboro so that I can enjoy you guys in person.
😮 wow.. all I can say is “ Thank God for TH-cam “
what is it about the Baked potato that just brings out the jazz in everyone ,, been like that for as long as i can remember and that goes back to the GIT daze
give this man an orville guitar and plug him into a potato and he still rocks. gear is not that important guys.
Joe clearly thinks it is, otherwise he'd be playing with shit gear.
Gear he's using here looks high end. Bonamassa goes beyond high end with all that vintage stuff he's addicted to buying.
