Finally! One of the top 3 blues guitarists touring right now. People need to support the blues more in the states!
He sounds like more of a jazz guy to me... He follows his head as much as his ear.
Have you listened to Dan Patlansky?
@@michaeldschutte Oh yeah love Dan! Wish he came this way more
J S where are you from?
@@michaeldschutte the States. in the south too. So Josh rarely comes this way. Savannah doesn't support music the way it should I think especially blues guitarist. Dan would be a really long shot to get here. So i just watch him on youtube and insta
Josh Smith is a badass guitar player! Great to see this.
Josh Smith is one of the classiest players out there today. A real class act!
What a great player and great guy! A master guitarist for sure!
That intro playing is perfect, just perfect.
Probably one of the best strat tones I've ever heard!!!!!
The insanity of these licks melted my face 98 percent of the time.
This dude does NOT suck. Love to see PG picking up on him.
He does not!
@@harrypalmer3481 he is a good performer
Late to this comment but I don't think I've never heard anyone say he sucks haha... don't know how anyone could think that tbh
Amazing player. Love his work and his approach to the whole thing.
Thanks for this.
I'll never know what Josh Smith will be playing next, and that's what makes me keep listening to him!
this dudes such a beast on guitar
One of the best rig rundowns yet, thanks guys!
Awesome Episode guys! Ruling!!
Absolute Professional
Great player! Wow
You know--if Joe Bonamassa was a good friend, he'd just give Josh one of his '57 Strats. He only owns 40 of them.
"If you're not in the mood...it's puts you in the mood real quick."...lol. It's funny because it's true. And from my experience...it doesn't matter if you're running 10s or 13s. It's very difficult to hide behind a Telecaster in terms of having it hide your mistakes. I love mine and it always keeps me honest, and humble.
Watched Josh play a Spider MK 2 modeling amp here on TH-cam with his own preset. Was amazing. Just goes to show it’s the player Wow
This is one of the better RRDs I've seen. Examples, sweet playing, riff /line ideas, cool tele, pedals, two amps, very cool stuff.
Like that coltrane shirt.. 👌
damn what a player he is.
My hands are sore just watching.
Tom Bucovac, Josh Smith...
Keep it going
Two kick ass guitar player's......
great player, great sounds - Jon always does a great interview but Josh made it a little easier for him touching on a lot of important details.
One of my favorite rundowns!! Dude can play, cool gear too
I accidentally stuttered using a tele 24 years ago. Still on tthe same 1996 Swamp ash tele .
so the Wah, Argonaut, soloist, and Myriad are the 4 on the battery Billionaire?
After playing 59 strats I'm curious why they haven't been hailed the greatest Strat year of all time instead of 57/62. 59 is KILLER.
Hell yeah!
So good to hear a guitarist eliminating compression unlike most, get so tired of hearing the same tone out of everyone.
Boy Howdy do I ever agree with Josh's comment about compression. That explains clearly exactly my sentiments about compression. I've tried any number of times to embrace compression, but it does seem to negate nuance that you would otherwise have to control with your fingers and picking attack. Losing that control just feels weird and unnatural. Compression sucks some of the life and effervescence out of music. It's like drinking soda pop that's gone slightly flat, it still tastes good, but it's lacking that zing.
He isn't using the Gigrig anymore?
Ronnie Earl. Cool
..😁
I know Josh likes the tele, but to me he almost always sound better with the strat or LP
The wha is battery powered? To eliminate crybaby background noise... I have noise problems with Power supply on the crybaby
8:17 - Did he say "I sawll it"?...lol.
wizaxed its a southern thing... y’all..
What make and model is Josh playing ?
Custom customs. Watch the video! He'll tell you all about em!
What brand of strings does Josh use? I have a hard time finding any companies that make 13's actually made for standard tuning.
every company does have a " jazz" gauge 13 - 56 but you are right when you go to the store and want 13 for an electric guitar the seller look at you strangely
Gabriel Tenorio Strings
If your amp has a bass knob u dont need heavy strings.
@@mykelc205 Not if I prefer the FEEL and tension of heavy strings.
GHS make a .11-.58 set of Nickel Rockers, with a plain G/3rd string. Great strings. They’re a set of 13’s but with an .11 on the top
Josh is one of the worlds greatest guitarist today.
Ryan Knispel one of the best ever .
Maybe, Jack Person is alive. 😊
No doubt!
NOPE.........but he's very good
Dead ass.
That must be the first V-neck Coltrane shirt I've ever seen
Was just thinking that
2-5-1 licks with an octave pedal is my kinda jazz!
I guess Josh Smith is not impressed by the recent trend of using light gauge strings. 😁
He's too busy doing promotional crap for the Japan made signature import...
@Guitar Dudeo Have u seen him play? He does both better than u and me together lol
Recent trend ? Light gauges being utilized has been around for a long time by the greats
@@a-aron3775 : Absolutely. Trends come and go. But this is a comment I wrote four years ago. And four years ago there was this online debate going on among content creators like Rick Beato, Rhett Shull and many others who came to the conclusion that using lighter gauge strings will provide you with better tone. Apparently it was David Friedman who stated this as a fact and this started a debate, like I mentioned before. But I for one never found their experiments very convincing. For various different reasons. Not only is the quality of sound a very subjective matter, but things like ‘feel’ and personal preference, or stability (like tuning issues) weren’t part of the debate. I’m not the youngest and I spent years of searching for the best set of strings for me.
Anyway, lots of content creators, but also established artists joined the bandwagon and many of them started to use lighter gauge strings. At the time Josh Smith was a well respected guitarist and became better known with a wider audience. But as we all know, he uses very heavy strings and unless I missed something, he still does.
But there have always been guitarists that were known to use very heavy strings (SRV, Dick Dale, Rick Parfitt) and there have always been guitarists that were known to use very light strings (Billy Gibbons, Tony Iommi, Frank Zappa), so indeed, there’s nothing new. But like I said, there are trends. I remember when Stevie Ray Vaughan became an established artist, guitarists from all over the world started to experiment with using heavier strings. And four years ago the trend was quite the opposite, hence my comment. 😊
I love the D'addario add which in short says "you get the tone suck of a longer cable on a shorter cable" ...
Lol 🤣
Josh is one of the “apex predators” among blues/jazz guitarists. He’s one of the guys other top guitarists wanna go see
Anybody else see how he’s like a modern day Danny Gatton with his versatility. Just cool headed and calm but is a beast on that Tele
Joseph Grant well said
Tele's r great to play n because of their sound easier to play...look for Prince
Man he has a perfect setup. He plays circles around everybody, damn.
Was on that KTBA Cruise!!..got to meet Josh and John,Chris and Perry from PG!!
Coolest Guys around....Thanks John and Josh you Guys Rock!!
Why anybody would have been on a cruise ship in the past 3 months is beyond me. You've got to be begging for Coronavirus...
Josh is a really cool guy, so down to earth just a player!
13 - 58 in standard tuning?? DAMN
Saw him in December and asked about the 13s. All his guitars are strung the same.
@@bradcoffman7395 He seems like a really nice and approachable guy. Was he?
He probably thinks that SRV used that setup.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 He is a really humble guy and one of the best players around, I went to his show in NYC last year. Before the show even started he was standing outside meeting everyone and thanking everyone for coming, a class act.
DuckTalesWooHoo1987 he’s great
Saw him in UK couple of years ago and chatted for a while after gig
Had a queue behind me so had to stop but was chatting guitar and jazz for ages , the guy is so great on guitar and the nicest guy ...
How can you not love Josh? One of the best players around, and more importantly, a super nice guy with no ego.
I just watched a lesson with him, that seemed pretty difficult and a lot of work. Now I can just go out and buy some more shit. Problem solved!
Our favorite compact build we’ve done to date! 🙌🏼
Josh’s preferences don’t line up with any of the modern trends but he can have whatever opinions he wants because he’s a monster player!
Funny to think when you see him on stage with Joe Bonamassa, he owns and plays thousands of guitars. Josh Smith just the one Telecaster.
Joe has been buying and selling as a business forever.
@@pappyodanial Yeah, me too, but I don't have half a dozen 50's era Les Pauls lying around.
@@UmVtCg Sucks for you..
@@simonvanderheijden432 found Joe's alternate account
@@simonvanderheijden432 En voor jou ook pik, ik weet namelijk zeker dat jij ook niet in de buurt komt, not by a long shot.
One of the best players alive
Definitely! If Josh got a penny for every great bar of music he's played, he'd be a billionaire... 🤟😎👌
Josh is the nicest, hardest working, and superbly intelligent player. Great rundown!
The rig matters not. Josh is just so musically literate at genious level, he could make an Esteban plugged into a Crate sound virtuoso.
I prefer the Josh Smith sound when he has that Strat
Nice rundown! Great player. Laid back, and very knowledgeable about his whole signal path. And likely the strongest hands in the biz. 13s in standard? Wow.
Pound for pound one of the best players in the game! Great episode! 🤘
John is such a likeable guy; very good player in his own right. I like his interviews very much.
Only us guitar players can get this excited about gear
Such a nice guy and a true artist. Met him in Australia. I love how he is striving to just play what he wants to play and not sell out to get more money in his pocket, like almost every young musician I know is doing these days.
I've never heard anyone else refer to the Vox thing as "broken glass", but that's what I call it too!
Such an incredible player and super cool dude Josh Smith is. 👊🤠🍀🎶
GREAT PLAYER! Must be a lousy manager or have a lousy manager because Joe B is rich off of his playing and Josh is much better. What is wrong???
"better" is subjective
John Bohlinger has amazing posture.
Adam Stewart and hair. And the shirt ;-)
@@planetsab It wasn't always so re: the hair. th-cam.com/video/MBNm0Ax4Vzc/w-d-xo.html
Hyeeahh!
Best SRV impression ever, untouchable 💯👌
16:24 Josh is such a pro in front of the camera, he knows to repeat the bit that might get edited out.
i kind of know what he's talking about. I never felt like myself playing Les Pauls or other guitars. Other bands and sounds came to mind before I could write anything of my own. The Tele has so much personality and suits so many genres. the swiss army knife of guitars.
24:23 discovered this about a month ago pure nickel strings are the best
Brad Woods if you haven’t tried them / aren’t familiar I’ve been using the throbak nickel core strings and they are incredible. Reasonably priced and ship quick too
One of my favorite guitarists I've learned so much from him. Josh is the man.
I had never heard of this gentleman .And naturally my inner bias was that he was totally country by his looks,uhhhh was I happy to be wrong
Coltrane shirt country? :P
Saw you at the Baked Potato in December. I told you " You are the shit man" You disagreed. I disagree. Josh is the guitar man for guitar players. Go see him and buy his stuff. Like me some Josh Smith guitar!
The presenter is just like the actor in Santa Clarita diet... I keep waiting for him to say WTF.....
Nickel vs stainless steel strings. I never thought about it until Josh made it clear. I'm wondering about string height at the pickups because the magnetic pull has to be greater with nickel? Just wondering...
I noticed this with bass strings. To me there isn't a big difference in volume but nickel has mid range capabilities that cut through in a way Steele doesn't. I also think when nickel strings get worn in, you're still left with a lot of tone to play with.
I just like how down to earth this guy is. Obviously a great player but seems like a great hang, too!
Amazed at how versatile Josh is, certainly not just a blues guitarist, though that's not a bad thing at all
Jumbo stainless steel frets will last years longer than your standards. Might save your favorite boards n necks brother. No issues on my teles n strats since I converted👍 Great tones n playing man.🎸
I once got the chance to play Josh´s Chapin Tele. And the 13´s are great to play when you're used to play acoustic.. Loved the tone acoustically! Thanks Josh for the chance :)
Dude, his bridge pickup in that "Strat" is epic! Plus, he is an amazing player.
Please do one of these on the celtic rock band Runrig..you know..a Runrig Rig Rundown.
awesome rig rundown and epic guitar player,good lord this cat can play and he is just noodling.when he digs in its crazy awesome
Just listen to Jerry Miller from Moby Grape. He still uses a black face super reverb. He filled in one night in Tacoma and man the guy still sounds the same and is way loud. Moby G was a big influence on Led Zeppelin
JS is such a master musician . Check out his snippet from a few years back when he was at Thomman Music Messe taking delivery of the earlier Schmidt Array board, (his first) from Daniel S. of TPS. He does a noodling display on that board that is just stellar. 😊 And it is always great to hear John B. do an interview.
aren't we all tele guys in denial ....
This was video a history lesson and one of the best....pure nickel strings!!! Thx PG, Thx Josh.
best rig rundown I have ever seen.... bravo John and Josh. Thank you
Most of all, he needs the funk-Parliament, 1977 I need the funk-Josh Smith, 2020
We ALL need more funk!
Love Josh, he's amazing...
Like the sunburst strat ,I got one just like it ,Ive had it for 26 years .Its played 100s of gigs and it playes better than ever.
Now he's playing Japanese Ibanez............... So this is BS...........or did another artist sell out........This Note's for You..........
Top 5 RR IMO. 13-58's in standard? Whoa, and he's not flexing. You can tell he genuinely likes and wants that feel. And when he played the strat with the soloist pedal - I haven't wanted to run out and buy a pedal like that in a long time. Great work as always by JB, well done, I learned a lot on this one and added some items to my birthday list.
Watched him grow up and gig in Fort Lauderdale, Fl with many premier players, I think he was 12 the first time I saw him. Spoke with him a few times and I must say he has alway been a dedicated musician and truly deserves being recognized as one of the worlds greatest guitarist.
Found out about the tchula from Josh, and it is heaven for me. Not for everyone for sure, but I go for the same uncompressed goal, so I can control dynamics . though I have 1/100th of his control (and less of his pure talent) I love hearing and feeling that dynamic response and trying to aspire to develop that control.
I wish I had more of a chance to turn up for medium to large gig volume, as that is where it really shines, but my large gigging days are pretty much over. Ah well.
look into an attenuator or an iso cab miced through studio monitors.im in the same boat
Eternity burst is better!
Love it - thanks for being so willing to share your gear stuff Josh.
john we need links to the stuff they use 13 gage strings must have powerfull fingers
John Coltrane tshirt...cool.😊
Dude knows his stuff. Great video
Asking Josh Smith if he keeps the strat around to change to if he breaks a string is one of the most embarrassing questions ever.
