@@221b-l3t Of course I know who Joe is, but I'm not really familiar with his blues playing, I've listened to Gary Moore a lot more, but this little interview has kindled my interest.
@@tijuanaiguana190Don't kid yourself! He's going to sound better on an off the rack guitar, then most players, using one of JB's best! Gear is secondary to the talent of the musician or athlete!
It's bc he uses the controls on the guitar and pick attack to get the sound he wants in his head. Something amp model/settings alone cannot achieve. Guitar volume never on 10 is huge for Joe's tone it allows the fundamental of the note to shine through better.
I highly recommend learning Peter Green's solo from "Black Magic Woman". Incredible note choices and phrasing. And I personally really enjoy playing it.
The Thrill is Gone changed my life when I was popping my dads CDs into my first player when I was 10 and had no CDs of my own yet. The epitome of style and taste.
I know Rick has been doing this for years and years, but it certainly seems to me as an outsider that his ability to attract headline artists has happened quite quickly. Very impressive.
@@frankrichards3089 Song of Yesterday if released in the 70s would be one of the most iconic rock songs. The canon of ~7-9 minute songs was just too saturated already and barely anyone knows it!
Not only is his proficiency at his instrument incredible but his knowledge is Outstanding. Plus you know your at the top when Reese Wynans plays in your band.
@@BluesRockAcademy Really ? there's dozens more he could have mentioned, this isn't rehearsed, and everyone's favourites are going to be different. So you're comment about "knowledge" is insignificant....
These guys are true fans of music and guitars. The details regarding which tone, switch, pickups, amp were using it's just amazing. Normal musicians or hobbyists can't get that deep.
Yes, Joe always gives props and lavishes praise on those that came before him and that he gleaned his licks from. People knock him for whatever, but I find him humble and his interest as a historian, to be genuine.
I first heard the Duster Bennett version. Then I heard Peter's version. That opening is the perfect fit for the song. It is a master class in feel. It also teaches a lesson an old teacher tried to impart to me. "Soloing is like talking. If you say too much nobody listens. So learn to stop talking and you'll learn how to solo."
He never mentions the maestro Peter Green. Peter had a direct connection from a higher power. It’s no surprise Jimmy page Modded his les Paul gifted by Joe Walsh to emulate greens sound (page mentions in 2005 interview) and BB King regarded him as a goat
Love Bonamassa. Totally don't understand all the hatin' on him. Sure, a lot of his playing is waaay over the top (because he CAN) but plenty of his playing is as smooth as B.B. King, lots of room for the notes to breathe. Dude is just a monster, one of the greatest guitarists ever, but he also gives plenty of room for his band or guest guitarists to shine. Just a super guy and a hell of a player.
Personally I only like his playing when he's not playing blues. I feel like maybe it's a generational thing because typical Bonamassa is everything younger generation hates about "boomer bends", it's just so dated, cliched and done to death. When he steps out of that boomer paradigm he sounds great.
not sure what hate it is, unless that whole like digital effects or something drama i've heard about where he talks about people using effects to cover up stuff. says the guy that uses like 30 amps on stage at once feeding jubilees into fender reverbs or some shit. and 30 guitar too like one for every song or something lmao anyway my criticism would be his direct copy of Eric Johnson. like bro you have blues stuff blues rock its great why do you through Eric Johnson in every solo now... ugh
The questions you're asking all these great people are pure gold. And so are their answers. There's SO MUCH to learn. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you Joe for the Koss love! FREE Live! (LP) was my first introduction to FREE in my early teens and my true inspiration for playing guitar. You're so right, these guys deserve far more recognition. What a groove.....
Totally with Jo bo on that one ..... FREE should be in the rock n roll hall of fame deffo ....Paul kossoff was one of the reasons I picked up the axe 🎸
Yes, I agree but the "mushy peas" addition makes the point which is possibly lost on a great many of those watching and hopefully encourages people to "dig deeper".
That Albert King solo on Blue's Power at Fillmore is one I've listened to for years with a deep appreciation of an man and his instrument, fully connecting his song to his audience and taking it right out to the edge... so powerful!!
Very happy, that you mentioned Free and Paul. One of my main famous bands, which is so much more than All right now. My Vision is an guitarized arangement of Heavy Load.
I'm Yarzo Spatflute and I play a '59 Strat hardtail built by hand by Leo through a wall of Dumbles, Altec Voice of Gods and racks of effects that require their own zip code and Guess how it sounds. Skill outdoes equipment.
OK Joe, here you go, 1, Ten Years Gone, 2, Be My Friend, (live), 3, Blue Sky (both Duane and Dickey), 4, Let it Be, (just absolutely Iconic) 5, Stairway (because it is THE iconic solo from the Greatest R+R song ever, and everyone should know Stairway!)
Excellent stuff. A must for any guitarist, at whatever level. BB & Kossof for tone, Jimi & SRV for chops, Albert King for the joy of it and all of them for musicality. But I'm sorry Joe, but I'm a Brit, been eating fish & chips since I was knee high to a grasshopper - but I hate mushy peas.
Joe is a great fan,he's almost a rock music need and that's honesty.He 's paying tribute to all great, but unfortunately kind of forgotten guitar heroes,like Paul Kossof,Gary Moore and others.
0:17 Thrill Is Gone was the first song I learned on guitar. It's super simple, yet the most effective usage of any note pattern in music. BB King was a genius.
Really came full circle as a fan of SRV, I came to love Kenny Wayne, and discovered Joe while listening to the those stations on Pandora. Yep, I heard Joe on the KWS Pandora station and fell hard.
Alright now, Hot Legs and You May Be Right were our most loved covers - we did our best to respect the original but make it our own (touring originals based band with a handful of selective covers) - crowds would go NUTS - iconic songs to say the least. Free should soooo be in the R&RHOF
Joe B has an incrdible knowledge of fellow guitarists/musicians. Blows me away every time i see him play or interviewed. On a mission to buy every record he has put out.
Joe has such an effortlessness and ease about his playing. Magical to watch. and @Rick, another great interview that this is excerpts from. Truly, you are one of my favorite interviewers, putting your guests at ease, letting them talk and then cutting to the heart of it to always take things to the next level. Keep it up, PLEASE!
In true "fish and chips" style, the British guitarist John Squire created one of the best all-time bluesy solos. It isn't hard to play, but it never leaves you. That is the hallmark of a great solo. "Made of Stone"
I loved the full interview, so fascinating and I am completely hooked on his music! Also, when he says “can’t just keep shredding”, the hell you can!! 😃 I just began to discover the shreddy side of Bonamassa and he’s killing it!! Best gateway “drug” to blues for people coming from metal/rock.
Ah Paul Kossoff, such a talent. Free - what a band. Such emotional, at times tortured, singing/crying/wailing from a guitar. But I'm biased. He wasn't a high-speed technical shredder but so what - the feel was everything. Unbelievable vibrato. Check out the slow blues "Going Down Slow" on Free's first album, Tons of Sobs.
I would add Hotel California solo, All Along the watchtower JImi, and Stairway solo and Highway Star Blackmore. Add those to the list and you will have covered a LOT of ground in your learning pursuits IMHO🙏🏾💯🤘🏾
When I saw Free at Brighton Dome in the early 70s Kossoff wasn’t 100% and Rogers played some guitar, PK still blew it away though. Their back line at that gig was Orange … IIRC.
'Mooshy peas' 😀JBM knows his stuff! Saw him play in London as a surprise guest at a Bernie Marsden gig (RIP) it was a wonderful, memorable evening and they played through a bunch of Peter Green songs. Amazing experience
Didn't realize the difference between Beato 1 and Beato 2 channels! Now subscribed to both. I could listen to you and Joe talk all day. And his tone and chops: holy smokes!
best solos- stairway sympathy white room and hotel cal and 12 bar blues in general are the best chord progressions to solo over and hence the best solos.
Rick, how can you possibly get “better guests”? You had dinner with Joni Mitchell, interview Peter Frampton, got to pick Andy Summers’ brain and now you’re geeking out with Joe B.? I’m subbed to both for whatever that’s worth. Great work, Rick!
Joe played where I was working years ago when he was a very young shredder. Outstanding show I must say, but he’s sure turned into an all around guitar genius!
Also need to mention Rick here as well as Zac & TrueFire lounge for your brilliant interviews, so much FREE knowledge that these players took years to cultivate & in a matter of weeks just listening & practicing, really absorbing the information, I’m way further on the road to to understanding what makes great players great
You are Great when you have your own guitar named after you You still can outplay most guitarists and wish I could play one third as good. God bless and manny people know you.
So I came to TH-cam so I can subscribe to your channel as you. In hours forced to endure a commercial. But I still subscribed because I enjoy what you do.
One of my tops is Joe's album version of Blues Deluxe. The precise tenderness it starts with to the rips your soul from you without asking, then back to the precise tenderness is a definitive solo to me. And then there is the tone of the whole thing.
I love playing the blues as a guitarist. However, I love it the most when it's just an aspect of the musical 'language' as opposed to being the main style on offer. Think of almost solo by guitarist Joe Satriani and you get a good idea of what I like - the moods conjured using the modes, soloing over chord changes, but when employing 'blue notes', bends, double-stops and other things out of the blue trickbag to bring excitement and attitude. Again, it's where blues is providing a critical ingredient without being the only thing on the menu.
Ok. I've watched half-dozen of videos; mostly very good and informative. I finally subscribed. I humbly request you 'move heaven and earth' and interview John Mcglaughlin. 🙏🏽
Full Interview Here: th-cam.com/video/kUbo8mreVWA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=txz96eoe2RX1NtUo
This is why these clips are great. It reminded me I never finished watching the full interview. 😆
Rick, u should have way more subs than the BS of many other channels
I was not subscribed. Now I am. Happy days
Better guest…? You have Joe Bonamassa (!!) the only way to get better guests is to have God send Jimi and Stevie Ray back for a interview.
….and he’s so right about mushy peas with fish and chips!
Here's the list:
1) "The Thrill is Gone" / BB King
2) "Scuttlebuttin'" / SRV
3) "Blues Power" / Albert King
4) "Fire & Water" / Free (Paul Kossoff)
5) "Voodoo Child" / Jimi Hendrix - SRV versions
nothing from Slash? :D
Thank you! My man!

Check out Joe Bonamassa's work with Black Country Communion. You will love it! Especially the live album.
@@swanneez5246 I actually had listened to them before not knowing Joe Bonamassa was the guitarist in that band. Loved the sound.
Similar, former metalhead slowly turning into a blues guy and Joe is a fantastic gateway drug to a lot of great blues.
You might be on the road to being a bluesman. It happens.
@@221b-l3t Of course I know who Joe is, but I'm not really familiar with his blues playing, I've listened to Gary Moore a lot more, but this little interview has kindled my interest.
I love how Joe just CASUALY has some of the best guitar tone I've ever heard in my life for this chat with Rick.
INSANE tone, every thing he plays sounds incredible in this clip
I mean his guitar probably costs more than my house. So that’s helps…
@@tijuanaiguana190Don't kid yourself! He's going to sound better on an off the rack guitar, then most players, using one of JB's best! Gear is secondary to the talent of the musician or athlete!
It's bc he uses the controls on the guitar and pick attack to get the sound he wants in his head. Something amp model/settings alone cannot achieve. Guitar volume never on 10 is huge for Joe's tone it allows the fundamental of the note to shine through better.
@@tijuanaiguana190 I hate this shit. The guitar is a solved problem. Gear doesn't make someone any better.
I highly recommend learning Peter Green's solo from "Black Magic Woman". Incredible note choices and phrasing. And I personally really enjoy playing it.

The Thrill is Gone changed my life when I was popping my dads CDs into my first player when I was 10 and had no CDs of my own yet. The epitome of style and taste.

Joe just knows. Its not just technique, its not just feel, but he just knows. This stuff really means something to him.
It does. His live playing doesn't always do it for me, but here he is at his best. Black Country Communion was great tho

I can listen to Joe talking guitars and tones all day long, and I do.
Me too, me three and me four!
Love the shout out to Paul Kossoff, who was a phenomenal player! Besides Joe's mammoth talent, his respect for his predecessors is unparalleled.
Yes, Joe always gives props and lavishes praise on those that came before him and that he gleaned his licks from. People knock him for whatever, but I find him humble and his interest as a historian, to be genuine.
Worth noting Ronnie Van Zan lead singer/songwriter for Lynyrd Skynyrd loved the band "Free".
ok boomer
I feel like that’s a huge things across the blues artists, almost all of them pay a lot of homage for those before them
Yes, the nod to Kossoff, and JB can't really do Kossoff is appreciated.
I know Kossoff 's nephew, looks just like him. Can't play guitar. 😅
Great to hear someone mentioning Paul Kossoff. One of rock's greatest players.
The fact that he kept a straight face during Scuttle Buttlin’ makes you appreciate how effortless that is for Joe 😂
That’s effortless for every professional guitarist.
no my good sir, it isn’t

They start measuring me for a coffin, cause I look like I’m dying . If I try to play that in public 🤷🏼♀️

Peter green is in my pantheon

Peter Green was the King!
Gary Moore as well...
That sound he gets when he switches to the neck pickup is glorious.
Kossoff was unbelievable. Joe mentioned Andy Frasier as well. One of the best bass players there was.
I love Paul Kossof’s tone on ‘come together in the morning’ so haunting, amazing!
Beautiful solo.

To see Joe try to play Stevie they way he played it and say “I can’t do it” was kind of eye opening
Although Joe's version of "I can't do it" is a million times better than everyone else's "I can't do it"! 😂
For me it's Highway Star, Comfortably Numb, Samba Pa Ti, Reeling In The Years, and Ten Years Gone,
I saw Free live when they were an opening band for Blind Faith. What a concert.
Wow! Amazing… Blind Faith was there, then gone. A rare concert.
He’s so good and very knowledgeable about the history of guitar players and styles.
Yes to Paul Kossof shoutout. Absolute ledge!
I love how Joe grunts between guitar phrases. It goes like this...then...and. Excellent!
Joe is a phenomenal ambassador of blues guitar and music! He's infectious, and I love him! 😎👍
I love that Paul Kossoff was included in this list.
I've been playing since the 70s, and here comes Joe, with more talent in in his fingers than I've gathered in a lifetime.
The questions you're asking all these great people are pure gold. And so are their answers. There's SO MUCH to learn. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I would love to hear Joe put out a full Free/Bad Company cover album.
That fish/chips/mushy peas analogy is spot on, in every way.
If you know, you know.
True!
0:42 nailing that without even trying is so satisfying to see

ABSOLUTELY! When you look at so many loser bands and poor musicians in there, FREE is one of the greatest ever rock bands!
Free's gig where they played through an all-Orange backline was probably the one at Radio Bremen, Germany in 1970
Love that he gives the shout out to Free/Kossoff. Very cool...
Still Got The Blues, Gary Moore’s solo. Also, his solo on Story Of The Blues.
The Fish and chips response is brilliant😂 Great interview as always, thank you.
