Whats so cool these days is to see the influences are so diverse. I'm older than these guys and went to GIT in '86 and grew up playing guitar in the early 80's when it seemed that players who played a specific style kinda stayed in that genre. To hear that Oz and Josh listened to cacophony and shrapnel and other stuff outside their prospective genres is very refreshing. I was the same and others were too back then but it was never really spoken about. IDK, I'm rambling. I'm trying to make a point and its not really coming out right, lol. I think regardless of style players love great playing. Fusion, Jazz, Metal, Country, blues, etc. I love it all.
This happens so much these days... so often I say I hate TH-cam and then every once in a while this happens: I have been playing and listening for years and had never heard Oz before today! Thanks Josh and Oz for doing this... going down the rabbit hole now... so exciting to find new great musicians and music.... awesome
What a great surprise! Mr. Noy was not on my radar until now. I had a delightful little youTube adventure tonight listening to a bunch of his stuff. Such a variety of music and some really unique musical ideas. Such a pleasure already and I seem to have only scratched the surface of his material.
Great stuff Josh. Love these interviews, think I've seen three so far and looking forward to more. Your ten questions are also well thought out. I'm happy for you to interview any guitar player but would be particularly interested in Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Lari Basilio and Jeff Pevar. I could produce a list as long as your arm but I'll stick at four. Oz is a great player by the way as is your good self. Your enthusiasm for all things guitar is quite infectious.
Great interview josh! Oz is killer. It was a tad unclear, but he was talking about the chick corea elektric band at the end there and yeah, that first record is a classic. Btw the Benson version of Take 5 oz references is on Bad Benson in case anyone’s interested. And, metheny’s “still life talking” is epic-the only song i skip on that record is the “hit” last train home. lol. the rest of that record is amazing. Love that youre doing the channel josh! Thnx covid!
First record had Scott Henderson and Carlos Rios on guitar. When Henderson left he was temporarily replaced by Jaime Glaser before Gambale was hired for the second record.
Fantastic interview Josh, you both are amazing! I would love to interview you, in regards of your love of producing/recording and as a musician/composer, two combinations of these two worlds and their relationship in your life.
I just saw your SRV video from a month ago, you mentioned you had the hat and the Strat, and did some touring. I saw a young player just like that, in the late nineties at the Peacock Tavern , Corvallis Oregon lol... was that you man ?
@@JoshSmithGuitar i understand, I played out alot in the 80's & 90's, cant recall every bar in every town...and i was a heavy drinker,....lol... well, it was one hell of show...it was a Trio, guitarist went out in the crowd, played slide with bottles, and walked out onto the sidewalk and played near all the Harleys. Cheers and Thanks for being a Blues Educator.
Hi Josh, check out a player named Mauro Hector from Brazil. You'll discover another extremely skilled and talented guitar player, that is right next to Oz!
Id never dream of correcting oz noy about anything music...i think he just forgets the dimieola, McLoughlin and de lucia album was called friday night in san francisco. A must hear record for acoustic guitarists and shereders alike
Jack Pearson plays a squier strat 150(some) dollars with good tube amp, VVT . But that doesnt mean he picks any guitar, that guitar he said it is good sounding, sayin something like, i dont know why , what it is , but i only like these indonesian made squiers. No quotation
I just don’t get the guitar v amp debate..you could have a top custom shop mega best guitar ever, but if the amp is shitty and can’t translate the nuances and dynamics of that instrument or has no clean headroom then it’s completely pointless..whereas most entry level guitars these days have decent pickups that a decent amp will make sound good..of course you need to then buy a set of Jeff Beck hands off eBay.
I disagree. I can have the best tone ever, but if don't feel comfortable on a guitar, the best amp couldn't hide my bad playing. And at that point I don't want anyone hear the nuances, because my nuances suck! I need the right set-up on my guitar to sound good. I need to be comfortable on the guitar to play the right dynamics and nuances. But I willl say: If a cheap or trashy guitar is set-up right by my luthier, than the Amp is more important. But if I have a shitty set up guitar, no amp will rescue me.
Johnny Zombie & the Grindhouse Blues but the question is if you had to choose between the two!!..I know if I had to play a gig with a crapped out amp no-one would hear anything but a fuzzy blurry mess..but with a great amp and a not so great guitar at least you’ve got a chance and it’s down to you to dig in and adapt your touch or whatever.
Johnny Zombie & the Grindhouse Blues i guess I’ve just had some horrible experiences.. especially at jam nights where the amp provided was underpowered and nasty compared with the main guy..(very treacherous)..and the worst thing you can do is start hitting the guitar harder because the sound just goes “splat!!”
I just got back to this, love hearing everybody’s experiences. You guys are such an inspiration! 🙏🏼
Two of the best living musicians, greetings from Egypt. 🤘🏽

Awesome!
Love this Oz. So humble and natural. Thanks Josh for interview
I saw Oz in Denver last year (front row). Probably the last show I saw before the shut down. So glad I got to see him - it was fantastic!
Loving the content Josh Smith. 🤩

I love to hear this
This is becoming my favourite TH-cam channel. Wonderful series. Thanks, Josh.
Amazing interview with an EPIC player! Thanks for sharing🔌⚗🎇
Great stuff! Thank you for putting this out there:-)

Great interview. Two of my favorite players.
Oz is one of my favourite players in the world. Incredibly versatile and unique musician.
Loving this series Josh..very cool
Great interview Josh and Oz! Cheers to keeping it going!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful Interview. So much good vibes and authenticity. Love the last question about goals. Right on Josh my brother.
Great interview Josh! I love both of you guys!! I agree with you both, great amp over great guitar. Everyone I ask thinks the opposite too!
Awesome interview 👏
Two of my favourite players together! Loved it! Bring him to LA Josh, that would be one amazing album!

How many Delay pedals Oz Noy using?
Hey Josh, have you considered Eric McFadden as a future guest!?
Josh when trying to join the paypal link appears to blow up when accept charges. tried 4or 5 time to join
Yeah, TH-cam doesn't have it 100 percent perfect yet. It also seems to work better joiniyon a computer versus a phone or ipad. Thanks for the support.

"A Squier piece of junk" .. My Squier feels offended :(

@@seannolan2259 nowadays I mostly play clean, so if the amp has a clean channel, I'm good! ;)
@@seannolan2259 But I have to admit that I am not a high level player. I guess really good player can make any guitar work!
