Joe is so real, humble, shy, can tell....but when he got on stage at the First Albert Hall, he OWNED IT! AS much as I Truly love his music, he is like a transformer when he gets on stage to play...
Great interview, Kylie. Joe is obviously so comfortable with you and you bring out the best in him making him even more likeable and down to earth than he already appears. It felt like earwigging the pair of you having a chat in a pub. Oh, and "jumper"; I think Joe is slowly becoming an actual Englishman. :o)
That makes you happy you say that as thats just the vibe I want for these interviews! And you are so right, I think we may end up seeing more of him in the UK!
I Lived around the corner from the Bonamasa’s when joe was a kid. I would pass him in the stairwell at K music taking lessons from Carmen. Didn’t know him personally but we all knew smokin joe in Utica. Used to watch him play all over town. Now of course he’s a legend and I still venture out to DPAC when he comes through NC. Phenomenal guitar player. I’m still waiting to get my Bloodline cd autographed.
Great to hear you again Joe, many fans here in Australia. How about another Jimmy Barnes duo? Love your work. Take care, say hello to Reese Wynans, my biggest inspiration after Hank Jones.
Very good interview with one of my favourite players. Joe got me interested in music again, and my inspiration for picking up the guitar again after a 25 year layoff.
Joe!!!! Finally got my Royal Tea CD! Again, approaching 80, and a rocker-blues guy from WAY back. This CD blows me out! My speakers are WAY HAPPY! Keep it rollin’! 😎🤟🇺🇸
@@KylieOlsson Thanks Kylie! I go back to Bill Haley & The Comets....the great ‘50’s....in ‘58-‘59 sat right in front of stage in Eugene, Or. and talked to and rocked to Jerry Lee Lewis...the a month later, Fats Domino! Have seen Janis, The Airplane, The Dead, B.B. King, EC, McCartney, CSNY, Lynrd Skynyrd (3 times), and MANY more!!!!!! Keep on rockin’ the blues!!!!!!! 🤟😎🤪
Nice to see Joe so laid back and relaxed... nice interview. I would really like to hear a complete album of music from Joe where he is "out of his comfort zone." Could be a very interesting endeavor. Good luck with more videos Kylie... really enjoyed it.
Joe is a nice bloke he is always honest and straight in my eyes , and yes he is a lucky B but in a nice way and he recognises it too, being lucky that is . Well said Joe “ there are no rules” Great interview too young lady 👍🏻
Well well well...Again so great interview Kylie!!! Joe had so many interesting stories to tell... And this was just the beginning... Can't wait the Friday's Li6S...Thank you Kylie..:)x
@Joe Bonamassa Thabks so much for replying. Thankyou for getting me back into playing guitar again.The double overland pedal is fantastic. I just use a Vox valvetronics amp set on just a touch of breakup then click in your pedal,man the tone I’ve been missing for years, thanks for teaching me over the years about getting the right tone. You are a genius and a master of great tone. All the best Joe. I have been buying from your store to support you and the Blues , I fucking love blues.Steve.
Really enjoyed this, I was really bullied badly so was interesting hearing how Joe got on, Photography, Motorcycles n starting to learn Guitar have been my escape in life ^_^ loved all the stuff in the interview. I do the thumb over the top thing really comfortable haha. I get the saving the history of stuff I'm like that with the classic bikes :)
I listened to Joe after a friends prodding, then when an old friend joined Joe on bass I listened intently. I knew early on that Michael was gonna be great because of his drive and love of music. The last time I saw Michael play live was at Soap Creek Saloon in Austin one Sunday night. In fact that's the last time I've seen Michael .
As a guitar instructor, i must say that i will always try to find a way to make playing a part easier for my students but everyone is different so as long as the student is able to play what is required, their thumb placement is almost irrelevant. It's supposed to be fun so play how you feel comfortable and if your instructor can't, or won't accept this then maybe you have the wrong instructor. I also play with my thumb wrapped around the neck, as do many of top players and in no way stops me playing what i want to play so enjoy the instrument and have fun learning. Great interview by the way.
That makes me so much happier to hear and a lot of these incredible players Im talking to say the same thing.. and they seem to have done ok with playing what suits them best! Thanks for your advice! Kylie
He is such a talent and a naturally nice person. You can't miss the enthusiasm. Met him in Ohio before a show, and he was just the same as we see here!
Great interview! Joe is a very open honest guitarist, he doesn’t try to create a mystic about himself that can be very discouraging for a player. You said you had four guitars what are they ?
The guitar is such a cool instrument. Don't need any training, a billion ways to get there, do what you want, tune it your way. Make your thing a new thing. My new hero - Henri Cash of Star Crawler (last hero - Alan Wilson of Canned Heat).
Love your channel. Since you have contact with Joe, I have something that he may be interested in. It's a 10 foot long exact replica BB King Lucille huge guitar signed by BB in 2012. Actually, I know Joe would be definitely interested in it. It would be perfect in one of his Nerdville locations. If you could possibly let him know. Thanks
Met him back in 92 when I was playing at the fort Lauderdale Riverwalk Blues festival asking me if he can sign my fender Stratocaster to be very honest I didn't no who the kid was going by the name smoking Joe
Kylie, Meet me online & try me way to get going as I carefully teach you how to play my original worship instrumentals that rock and you can improve and see how you progress .
@@KylieOlsson there's many funny differences. If I had a female American friend and said to her "I'll give you a ring tomorrow", she might think I'll be proposing!
Joe B. and Nuno B. are 2 of the world's best guitar players & 2 of the world's worst potty mouths! It's not cool to cuss and drop the f-bomb in front of little kids at your concerts. You know the grown-ups are bringing their children to the live shows, and the kids look up to you & call you things like "guitar hero". It's not enough to just be a positive musical influence on our youth. You need to be a positive MORAL influence on them as well.
Please be skinny and miserable again. You will look and feel so much better once you loose that extra belly fat and of course its so much healthier. 😊❤😊
I could listen to Joe’s stories for hours...just super interesting
Joe is so real, humble, shy, can tell....but when he got on stage at the First Albert Hall, he OWNED IT! AS much as I Truly love his music, he is like a transformer when he gets on stage to play...
I adore Joe's playing and performances...and now I love hearing him tell stories. Thanks for sharing this!
He is so talented... our chat was so long I had to cut it into 3 parts so more on friday!!
He is Clark Kent off stage, onstage he’s Superman with a Les Paul and sunglasses
Thats epic... I can't wait to tell him you said that!
Perfect!! Lol
And he is Mr. Burns on the guitar market.
Great interview, Kylie. Joe is obviously so comfortable with you and you bring out the best in him making him even more likeable and down to earth than he already appears.

Bloodline?! Isn't that the band he was in with Berry Oakley's son, Berry?
yes@@J.C...
Yorkville guy, huh? Used to watch him at Tiny's.
Carmen Carmonica?
@@lorenvguitar614 yes
Great to hear you again Joe, many fans here in Australia. How about another Jimmy Barnes duo? Love your work. Take care, say hello to Reese Wynans, my biggest inspiration after Hank Jones.

Enjoyed that thoroughly! Looking forward to Friday.
Great interview ❤thanks
Terrific interview! TY Kylie and Joe.
thank you!!! part 2 and 3 coming soon...
Joe!!!! Finally got my Royal Tea CD! Again, approaching 80, and a rocker-blues guy from WAY back. This CD blows me out! My speakers are WAY HAPPY! Keep it rollin’! 😎🤟🇺🇸
wow Ken thats amazing to hear... keep on rocking and what an inspiration!!!

@Kylie - Another fantastic interview. Kudos! Love Joe - one of my modern-day fav players. "There are no rules"... sage advice.
Nice to see Joe so laid back and relaxed... nice interview. I would really like to hear a complete album of music from Joe where he is "out of his comfort zone." Could be a very interesting endeavor. Good luck with more videos Kylie... really enjoyed it.
Thank you!!! So pleased you enjoyed them and i totally agree although Im not so sure there is anything he can't play. lol
Joe is a nice bloke he is always honest and straight in my eyes , and yes he is a lucky B but in a nice way and he recognises it too, being lucky that is .
Well said Joe “ there are no rules”
Great interview too young lady 👍🏻
I love Joe and when he picks up a guitar, I love him even more, then when he sings I melt! Just one kiss , one hug, one ….!❤️💋🥰🙂😮
AN INSIGHTFUL INTERVIEW, WELL DONE, GOOD JOB
Well well well...Again so great interview Kylie!!! Joe had so many interesting stories to tell... And this was just the beginning... Can't wait the Friday's Li6S...Thank you Kylie..:)x
Thank you... yep, you have Friday and then Monday to get your Joe fill.
@@KylieOlsson Thank you so much Kylie!!
Nice work Kylie, very natural interview x now buy a tele!
Your the best joe, it would be great when this sickness is over,you and Beth could maybe come to Toronto PLEASE. Love you man

Another really good interview Kylie. Great questions and such an interesting person to listen to. Thanks (onto part 2)!
Really enjoyed this, I was really bullied badly so was interesting hearing how Joe got on, Photography, Motorcycles n starting to learn Guitar have been my escape in life ^_^ loved all the stuff in the interview. I do the thumb over the top thing really comfortable haha. I get the saving the history of stuff I'm like that with the classic bikes :)
Thank you! And good to hear you are a thumb man too. lol. makes me feel like its ok to do your own thing as far as playing goes.
I listened to Joe after a friends prodding, then when an old friend joined Joe on bass I listened intently. I knew early on that Michael was gonna be great because of his drive and love of music. The last time I saw Michael play live was at Soap Creek Saloon in Austin one Sunday night. In fact that's the last time I've seen Michael .
Awesome.....I'm a big Joe fan....very cool that you have access to these folks. How did you get to meet Joe? Cheers....Todd in Chicago
Kylie Olsson is well respected and honoured music journalist in UK... She has interviewed the top rock artists in the world, so now was Joe's turn!!
I interviewed him around 2013 at Download Festival and we hit it off straight away.
Fantastic - Excellent Interview . Perhaps consider doing Malmsteen or Robin Trower some day . 💖🙏🎸🇺🇸🌟
Im working on Malmsteen so watch this space.... thanks for watching. kylie
Interesting interview, really enjoyed it. Had a bit of trouble hearing Kylie due to the poor sound. Look forward to the second part.
Joe is the everyman virtuoso, if there is such a thing.
there is now. lol
Great interview!

@@KylieOlsson Just remember, we're all individual and that will reflect how we all play. Best of luck. 🤘🤘
He is such a talent and a naturally nice person. You can't miss the enthusiasm. Met him in Ohio before a show, and he was just the same as we see here!
Yeah he really is... so unassuming
DId you notice is wearing the same hoodie as he wearing in the 'Why does it take so long to say goodbye' Video?
Great interview! Joe is a very open honest guitarist, he doesn’t try to create a mystic about himself that can be very discouraging for a player. You said you had four guitars what are they ?
I totally agree. I have a strat, Jackson, acoustic yamaha and a 1977 Greco
@@KylieOlsson very nice, keep practicing and one day Joe will be interviewing you 🤟
I didn’t even know about Jeff Healy! R.I.P. blues man!
The guitar is such a cool instrument. Don't need any training, a billion ways to get there, do what you want, tune it your way. Make your thing a new thing. My new hero - Henri Cash of Star Crawler (last hero - Alan Wilson of Canned Heat).
Love,love and more love !
thank you!!!
Leaning in…..😅
Thank you Kylie🌹
JOE❤️ is the best man ever😘❤️🌹💋💕
When is Part 2?
This Friday.. 🎸
Friday!

Actually, I know Joe would be definitely interested in it. It would be perfect in one of his Nerdville locations. If you could possibly let him know. Thanks
thank you... where did you get that from????
90% work 10% talent? I can say that that 10% should be much higher. He was already a virtuoso when he was in his early teens.
Totally agree!!! Its nuts how good he is!!!
@@KylieOlsson Yes absolutely!
Met him back in 92 when I was playing at the fort Lauderdale Riverwalk Blues festival asking me if he can sign my fender Stratocaster to be very honest I didn't no who the kid was going by the name smoking Joe
Skinny and Miserable...my custom signature string set :)
See the Tommy Bolin burst right behind Joe!!!
Kylie, Meet me online & try me way to get going as I carefully teach you how to play my original worship instrumentals that rock and you can improve and see how you progress .
Fannie Pack: in Britain fannie refers to naughty bits. That's why she pointed out it was a bum pack.
Many kids at school mocked me for playing a guitar. Not now though. It’s cool.
Joe does have the toy's but usually doesn't play at this stage unless he has to Words from his own mouth I'm the same way after 45 years of playing
lets get together with blues soon
Joe your a sick man bro, one sick six stringer and you got a sick guitar collection,
I totally agree!
Great interview. He comes across as a very personable bloke. Also...........fanny packs 'v' bum bags...hehe
hahaha... i know... fanny pack just sounds extra weird ... I do love that about the American 'V' English language though
@@KylieOlsson there's many funny differences. If I had a female American friend and said to her "I'll give you a ring tomorrow", she might think I'll be proposing!
Do I detect a pinch of chemistry here?
Yes, we are very good friends. I've know Joe for a longtime.
I see it too Victor, more than just a pinch though. Something is definitely there.
@@whitdavidson3706 lol I believe Kylie is a married woman. But it’s fun to talk about 😂😂
@@victortheriault5021 oh... didn't know that. I apologize to her. She is a great interviewer!!
I just noticed how Kylie looks exactly like a young Helen Mirren!!!
do i? Ive never heard that before but I will take it 🤣 thank you
“ I got 4 guitars and a Wawa “
Magic mushroom cup ! Fly agaric
If it sounds good it is good. Joe meek.
ok Joe...ya gotta re-remember Larry Carlton, Steve Lukather, Lee Ritenour ...I would pay to listen...
