Hello, I’m Joe - I’m a guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, recording engineer and teacher!
On this channel you’ll find my original songs, covers and solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements. My favorite music doesn’t fit neatly in a box so you may hear me play folk, blues, jazz, & classic rock - you can call it what you want; I feel honored to speak this timeless language of melody, harmony & rhythm.
I was born on May 25th 1991 in Kempsey, NSW, Australia. Since 2010 I have been based in the US and currently live in the Rocky Mountains of Montana with my wife, Genevieve (who teaches illustration on TH-cam!).
I play Maton acoustic guitars, made in Australia (just like me) and am very proud to have my own signature instrument, the JR Signature!
In addition to song performances, you will also find guitar lessons, chord breakdowns, TAB, tutorials, gear reviews and other guitarist related content to help you stay inspired on the instrument.
I stream high quality livestream concerts regularly, if you’d like to be notified when I announce a livestream, you can put your email in here: joes.lnk.to/Li...

Great story on the value of making a solid commitment to do something.
I have known Admirals, generals and fighter pilots who grew up 100 miles from a paved road and went to school in a one room school house. Being relatively free from a lot of modern distractions might be a key part of the recipe.
You are a wonderful person, not only because you give free lessons, but this story that you used to collect money for people with your concerts is wonderful, greetings from Croatia where Mr. Tommy Emmanuel has played many times and I hope that one day you will too come to us in Croatia to show us your skills, which you have to spare, thank you very much for the lessons, you are excellent ❤❤👍👍
You are an inspiration. Beautiful.
what a fantastic story so inspirational im looking forward to listening to you now and in the future
Great story. People should NEVER lose sight of their dream.......!!
Hey Joe, as an old rocker from the 70s, I have seen your TedX the other day, first time seeing you. WTF! Lad, you blew me away. I have found out you know Tommy E. who I also have met a few times here in PA, USA. Watching your technique is simply an amazing feat. With that, I am glad you were stuck in the outback "having" to learn your ass off. Which you have. Congrats to you! I look forward to meeting you one day. I have an apartment in NYC, Greenwich Village. Between myself and a close friend, we have around 80 vintage guitars. Chet Atkins is one of my favorite players, I have a few of his vintage Gretsches. My favorite being a 64 Chet Atkins Countryman. Which was also George Harrison's favorite. Seeing the young lads like yourself taking the guitar to these new levels is a mind-blower. For me, it was learning how Jimmy Page tuned up for songs like The Rain Song and Black Water Slide, or Black waterside, originally by Bert Jansch, who I also got to know back in 1980s in San Francisco. Those were tough tunes to work out. Now, 40 years later, to see your talent at playing such quickly laid out melodies is mindblowing. Tell Tommy I said hey, and look forward to seeing the both of you one day, touring the states, here... Oh, that's right, your in Nashville!! Well, I know a bunch of players down in town there. So one day I may tap you on the shoulder and request a lesson in 21st Century Guitar!!! Enjoy... The sky's the limit, Brother!
What an inspirational person & musician. I love it. And flair, focus & feedback. I will now want to practise more & be deliberate with my play & music. God bless & thank you 🥰🙏💖🎶🎯
Inspirational. Don't sell yourself short. You WERE that great. And that you had the balls to stand up to SONY as well as a TV production company… I know the industry and a few bands who are friends of mine were screwed by Atlantic (among others). I'd been asked to join Lucy Brown only days before the lead dropped from a heart attack. That wasn't so long after having lost another band slot thanks to a drunk driver.
Stay awesome, Joe. And Molly still loves "Fireflies". So does my younger son Harry.
BTW, Nashville's the center but have you spent a few Blues nights out at Beale Street in Memphis? Do your whatever you can to catch Richard Johnston doing his one-man-band gig in front of the New Dixie all the way down the road.
I love this video and story, Joe. 🔥💪
You probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother during the lockdown xD
@Jay Zander Definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Great story mate. Remember well watching you on AGT. Miss hearing the late great P.E.
I'm Brazilian and sometimes I have a hard time understanding an Australian speaking. God bless your accent hahaha
Big respect for holding firm against the contract
Thanks Joe great to know more of your story!
Joe, I just watched this one, thanks for making this. It’s always cool and interesting to hear how someone rises above challenges. I noticed your book collection in the back. Don’t forget to keep making your book videos. It’s interesting what grabs peoples interest. You should read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Oh, and also, Confederacy Of Dunce's by JK Toole. But the trick with that one is you have to hear the audio book because the narrator brings it to life. It’s on TH-cam. By the way, just saw Billy Strings in Sacramento. Really great show. Would love to see you two jam. Tommy Emmanuel probably has the connect to make that happen. Marcus King is another one. Antonio Rey and Philip Sayce ! Hope to see you on the road again soon Joe!
What a great story. So that is how you did it. I will have to show m son this. He`s 14.
Unfortunately I have a hard time getting him off his phone to practice his guitar.
What an awesome story. I love seeing people who are passionate, no matter what their passion is.
The story of a boy who didn't sign the contract. Can't wait for part 2!!!
It is quite satisfying to know more about your young age background. Even the music you listened to. Phil & Tommy! Wow. . .
Really friends just 126 comments?
Nicely done Joe!
I always love learning the back stories about how great musicians got where they are. The history brings out all the relatable info of the journey that everyone takes to master something. Thanks for sharing this! You’ve been a big inspiration to me lately.
Thanks Michael - that means a lot. All the best mate.
Thank you! This was inspiring and eye-opening!
Cool story man. Good for you for not letting them pressure you. I really dig your music kid. I think you're one of those rare people who has the drive and talent to achieve your dreams. Beat of luck to you.
I love watching to hear you tell your story 😊🎸❤️
Thanks so much Svein :)
Joe, I'm 49 and you are one of MY heroes!
you are the best, love your stuff
No wonder you are so brilliant! Thank you for sharing your story with us. You have a great personality to match your talent! Greetings from Dubai
Thank you Christine! I hope to visit Dubai someday. All the best to you!
@@Joe_Robinson let me know if you do. I’ll let you know the best places to visit. Just make sure that you plan your trip between November and May. The summer months are extremely hot and humid.
Would be awesome if you could perform at Dubai Opera!
Inspirational. I share your videos as they come up on Facebook, and my friends' comments are uniformly raves. I've spent happy hours trying to figure out your chord voicings- "Georgia On My Mind" has been especially satisfying. Can't pretend to anything like your skill, but thanks for what I can grasp. We'll continue to enjoy "Live From Home"- a regular part of our weekend here in northern California. Wishing you continuing success!
Do you realize that your face just lights up when you talk about music? :) It is absolutely amazing that your passion and obsession started when you were so young. You have put so much time and energy into your craft, it's not much of a surprise that you continue to improve. I'm trying to imagine how you will be playing in a few more years lol Anyway, you have yourself a faithful fan here (and I'm not the only one ). I've always loved listening to all kinds of music, but I was never very familiar with the fingerpicking style. So when I came across some of your videos, you introduced me to a whole new world of music that I have come to love. Thank you so much for that. Sorry this is so long :) Love to you and Gen!! xx
Heartening to see real talent get through the reality tv monster. I've only just`discovered' you as I really can't stand the continuing barrage of similar shows. You are brilliant and obviously also persuing a great love of music,more power to you.
That's really great story. So much sacrifices have made who you are now man 💪
Hey JoeRob!!! You’re amazing guy!!!! Love your life’s journey as one of the greatest musician in the whole world!!
Only just got around to watching this - wow! what a story! can't wait for part 2 :)
You're great dude, really cool
What a great story Joe says a lot about your success, you were so motivated, thanks sharing this experience. Also, you cant imagine how much your youtube lessons mean to me and im sure many many others. Thanks so much for sharing your gift, talent, and hard work.
That’s a beautiful story Joe. Thanks for sharing.
his determination and motivation reminds me of alnolds motivation with his body building.similar work ethic
"Back to the Bush".... Something that you mention in most of your interviews.... You should write a song on this Joe....😊😊
How i loved watching this vdo and hearing your story..... So fascinating....Dream of Every young lad wanting to be a guitar hero....but your consistent obsession made it to the top....was expecting more of your meeting with Tommy Emmanuel in Nashville though....
Desperately waiting for part 2 my brother..... Keep playing.... Love from Nepal
Heck yeah Joe, enjoyed the heck out of this! How great is Eric Johnson :D
Great story. Amazing comitment . Well done Joe
Great story with so much drive and determination to get what you want. Hooray for not signing the contract!
Joe, whatever success you get, and you will - you desreved it. You are the next Tommy Emmanuel.
After hearing this, I realize why my musical career never took off. I thought I was committed but Joe was more obsessed than I was. 4am to practice 3-4 hours before school? Wow, that's dedication. I practiced, in a similar fashion but for a total of 2-3 hours per day after school. Got pretty good but not Joe level. I would have probably made the mistake of signing that contract if I were in his position which would have probably spelled my doom. In other words, I would have done the opposite of Joe and that's why he's a fantastic musician with a musical career and I'm an IT professional who plays a lot as a hobby now. Great story with a few lessons learned to pass on to young musicians.
Another common theme with all professional musicians that I have noticed, to quote @rhettshul, "There is no plan B." You're either going to be a musician or homeless. If you have a backup plan, you will ultimately use it. I had a backup plan...
You'll become the another legend with Chet and his CGPs someday.
Such a good video man! Your drive is inspiring and I don’t think I’ve ever said the word “inspiring” before ha.
'Smash that like button' haha Joe is hustling.
You should use the community function to ask which songs to cover next, which stories to tell.... big bonuses from the algorithm if you do so.
All the best.
Mitch
That's a good idea Mitch!! I've realized I personally get more value from YT than other platforms, so I want to get this algorithm figured out and share some music & ideas. Hope you're well mate!
@@Joe_Robinson yeah apparently community polls are big time helpful. Btw, pretty cool to see young Andy and Bray (Lachy looks no different really).
Thank you for sharing with us this so interesting and motivating story.
Great insight man! Loved hearing this story in detail.
So beautiful the way you tell your story! congrats :)
Mantap mas bro Robinson I like you from Indonesian good job...👍
Part two pls!!!! :)
Love the American dad reference
How did you win Australia's got talent? the short answer you're incredibly fucking talented!!! as a young starter guitarist when i first saw you on AGT my mind was blown!
Didn't know that. great!
WOow this video is really inspiring Wow is the videos of the talent show available?
the story inspired me...Nice Joe
You're incredibly talented, but it's a talent that you earned by your dedication and discipline. Congratulations on making your dreams come true, and best wishes for the future! If you ever get the chance, I'm sure many aspiring guitarists would like to know in more detail what you practiced and how you practiced. Just for example, how did you learn scales, how did you practice them, and how did that help you be a better musician (i.e. how did you apply what you learned)?
Your parent were cool. My mother introduced me to Air Supply and Yanni. Thank God for my cool uncle. Saved my with SRV, Satriani, Eric Johnson
Great stuff Joe, more videos about your life experiences would be great!
Great Joe, congratulations, please can you make a tutorial about your fantástic layla ' s cover of Eric clapton? Thank you Great Joe.
Thanks William, I made a tutorial for the song on my Guitar Synergy channel
Listen to him, it takes practice :) Unlike some basketball players this is what it takes :)
Dear Joe, I have loved your earnestness and dedication for long. So I earnestly suggest: please step back 5 steps from this perfection. You might have overshot the target.
so, once again, second generation musician. i figured this is really hard match just with the effort.
So Joe...what's with the guitar neck in your pocket???
Seemed like a good photo op haha.
It's crazy just how much the 16yo you looks like Jimmy Page
I love your story you are real just tomy Emanuel iwish I could talk to you in person . Am hoping to have lessons
Wow! Quite a story indeed. I shall now go burn my guitar (kidding)...I'm curious what brand of guitar do you play and like.
Cheers Steve - I play Maton guitars! They are from Australia too, fantastic instruments! All the best
OMG!!! No wonder why you've made it Joe!!! And no wonder how you've come this far!!! But am still left in awe of you 100%!!! 😮🤩 (but the earplug in the mail box 🤣)
haha thanks so much Elizabeth!!!
No worries! 😉 I just can't ignore you...you are awesome and very handsome 😊
Risky, but one of the smartest choices you made was not signing a Sony music contract. The only label worse that I know of is Atlantic.
Labels run a dirty game which can leave you in ever-increasing debt to them. The Intarwebbynetz has been helping a lot more musicians be heard.
Stay awesome.
Great story young man. Growing up in poverty provides a completely different perspective doesn't it?
First
That’s an amazingly inspiring and motivating story! I’m going to pick up my guitar and practice now.
By the way, I’m 71 years young.....
LOVE
Funny. I am 61 years OLD.
What a beautiful story Joe. You really did the hard work, took the risks, and went for it with all you had. It's really inspiring, just like your playing.
Incredible story mate'
Some of the lessons I get from this are:
1) Find and focus on a passion
2) Dedication & persistance
3) The Tel-lie-vision is a distraction
4) Be very careful what you sign.
5) Surround yourself with those you aspire to.
6) Dont lose the Love.
"Best wishes from Vic AU Joe"
Duuude, what a story. Made me smile, I had to learn the piano until I was 14, so I „borrowed“ my Dads guitar when he was at work to practice like crazy.
Anyways, I found you a while ago on Spotify, you are my number one musician on the planet, love your songs and your technique. You ARE gifted, no doubt, but you also spent blood, sweat and tears to get there. Amazing man, respects ✊🏻
Good on you Joe. I enjoyed the story and especially liked when you're willing to play for the opening of a "manhole cover" ;). I am making my way through Joes12 and look forward to seeing you in Texas some day. Keep bringing that great music!
Thanks so much Jack! I forget where that line came from, but it stuck!! Hope you are staying warm down in TX with the winter storms!
@@Joe_Robinson I laughed out loud when you said that, So funny!
@@Joe_Robinsonyou're the man mate...down here from the Philippines...Bon Blanco is the name... hahaha..I'm your fan
Joe,
I immediately subscribed to your channel the first time I heard you play. I'm 66 years old and have been around music my whole life. Your talent, humble personality and innate drive are what make superstars. Your honesty and ability to look at your life from 2,000 feet, is your key to growth and success. You have a beautiful fiance and I'm sure will have a beautiful family in time. Life is short and you certainly have, and will continue to make the sacrifices and decisions to make the most of it! Thanks for letting us come along for the ride!
Good onya Joe
Thanks Mike!!
Thank you so much for sharing Joe! Do you still play piano though?!
5:43 I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought you had large hands, Tommy was 100% correct esp. after just watching your "Walk of Life" Dire Straits cover which I also shared on my channel! #LittleGorilla
Thank you Joe for sharing your wonderful and incredible success story…..WOW. I felt your humbleness and determination in your story that kept me “spell bound” as we say here in North Carolina. Love your picking. God Bless You!
Spoken like a true rock star...So.........what happened to the dough?..............Ahhhhhhhhhh........................i blew it! :|)
I remember, good times
Ive retired now but I played Country music
.......full time for 30 years out there ... Good for you.
It's funny, I had a similar early experience. Started on the piano at 6 but never really liked it. At age 11 I got to try out a guitar for the first time and fell in love. At 12 ( in 2000) I got my first guitar. I didn't have a teacher though so it wasn't till I was 15 that I actually started learning for real after meeting a guy by the name of Dave Pahanish who went to our church at the time. He never gave me official lessons but fixed up my guitar so it was actually playable and gave me pointers to get me started. I followed him around like a lost puppy for about a year learning as much as I could by watching him and asking questions. For a long time I was really just a folk rock or worship music player. I didn't really know how to expand my playing nor did I know anything at all about fingerstyle guitar. Fast forward to 2015 and I was finally introduced to Tommy Emmanuel and my life was changed. A year later I got really sick from Lyme disease and couldn't play for 2 years. During that time I really got into Tommy's music and my husband would constantly come home and see me watching his videos. As I started getting healthy enough to travel a bit he surprised me with tickets to see him. I got so excited I made a drawing for him to bring with me and ended up buying a meet and greet ticket. Chatting with him in the meet and greet was the turning point for me. I decided that night that I was going to pick my guitar back up and learn at least one of his songs. I learned Haba Na Haba first and it opened the floodgates for me. As a bonus, people around me were saying that since picking up my guitar again my health started getting better far more quickly. Now I'm getting ready to go to my 3rd Tommy camp and have played with or for him several times. I'll never be a professional but I absolutely love playing and would encourage everyone to play even just for fun. I'm hoping one of these days to meet you too. You're incredible and I really enjoyed hearing your story. Oh btw I'm good friends with Derick Salguero who you might remember. He really really looks up to you that's for sure.
A story of determination, self belief, sacrifice, HARD WORK, passion. You are extremely good at your calling and craft, and I love listening to you. Great job mate! Congratulations! Thank you. God 🙏🏽 Bless
Greetings from Korea
Mr..Joe. I totally motivated and touched by your long story.
So now I realized that you are not a genius but you did many effort to earn technique and performance to be a great musician.
Word cannot describe how great you are.
So your point is "Great ability comes to great effort and practice" right?
Maybe I endeavor to follow your way for acoustic guitar practice ,for example wake up at 4am or 5am to practice right and left hand , fingering, performing so that I can reach your ability someday.
Really appreciated to share your good story and would it be possible to post this content on my Instagram or Facebook?
And would you please to upload " Keep it together " arrangement for full version for me?
I checked your arrangement on your Instagram so fantastic but it was not a full version only 1 minute play.
It would be great honor to check my comments Sir.
Thank you William! I made a video called 'Talent is BS' and I described some thoughts there.. I call it Flair, Focus, Feedback... Flair - do you enjoy it? Does it feel 'natural' to you? (for example Piano was not natural to me).. Focus - doing LESS, so you can make the choice to focus on the thing you feel is the right thing. Anything good requires sacrifice of some form or another. Feedback - environmental factors such as having great people around you for encouragement and advice - can be from books, videos etc. I also think developing good habits outside of music is very helpful, for example taking good care of your health physically and mentally. There is a spiritual element to it too... Anyway, I really encourage you to try an early morning 'deliberate practice' routine and see how it goes for you! Everyone is different so what works for me might not for you.. but I love it! All the best and thanks for requesting Keep It Together! I haven't played that song in a long time!!
@@Joe_Robinson Thank you very much to reply my comment Joe! Adelaide and Emily , Keep it together is my favorite. If I get tab of those arrangements, I will do all my best to do. Thank you Joe👍 you are the best!!
Great story Joe. The music labels really chewed a lot of young talented people up and spit them out. I'm sure you can look back and come up with some names, especially living in Nashville.
Not Chet at RCA though. There's a Chet video out there where lots of artists sing his praises, like Willie Nelson for example "Chet did more for more artists than any other human being."
So many more stars weighing in also in that vid.
Anyway, your playing of Classical Gas on got talent sounded note for note with Tommy's arrangement. And that can't be easy.
I love Nashville, used to live there. I saw your first vid, rocking around the Christmas tree, love it. You're playing reminded me of Tommy's. Lol and behold, u know them. You're blessed bro. I really enjoy your playing. Lots of people that u mentioned I've listened to..esp Chet, Jerry, Tommy..so on. Keep playing! Your skill really shows..I "feel" the music.
hi joe.You are my favorite guitar player. Your work has given me strength and imagination many times. It filled me with confidence when I was confused. I look forward to the improvement of the epidemic and you can come to China to perform. I hope you will take care of your health.😀😀😀😀
Joe. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION. YOU INSPIRE ME TO BE BETTER!! Thank you!! xoxoS
So cool. It’s a difficult business , guitar and music. I hope you keep a lot of your business under your control. What’s cool today , is the technology allows a person to use to get out there without all the flying. I saw what 320 a year one day shows did to Tommy. With all due respect, Joe , I hope you are more clever than that . Cheers
Alberta Dave
Thank god you blew that 250,000 . I know for sure you`re the real deal . Which you are by the way regardless . You are a great talent .
Hey Jo You are exactly like Adam Zampa( Aussie cricketer) in the thumbnail photo😁😁, is he your relative??
this was a really interesting and inspiring story, but as a huge American Dad! fan, I was a little disappointed it didn't actually have anything to do with the song roger plays in that episode. But your opening was really funny and it was cool to see you play part of it lol.
I absolutely love how you included my favorite clip from american dad
oh man 13 years on your road till the present and I found the clips you didn't sing though btw I like Australia but never had a chance to go, out of this f**** place sorry every time I've seen people around the world I just want to go but it's too late um
Seems so long ago now. The footage of your win is a favourite of mine for the image of your grandparents Barbara and Bob, so ecstatic for you. No doubt in my mind they were your biggest fans. Sad they’re not here to see you now but you’re still doing them proud 👍
Just wooooooow man, you talk about being inspired, omg! You stuck to your guns and structured your life around your music and successfully pulled it off 😎 kudos
Well done for sticking to your guns Joe!!
