Joe Bonamassa

[Ferryman_1957]

.........is probably god, at least of the guitar. Just a quick post to say I caught most of his set at Guilfest in the UK yesterday and even in the torrential rain he was unbelievably good and had the crowd buzzing. I've listened to some of his recorded stuff and it's good, but I think he really needs to be seen live. And if you are a blues or rock guitarist, you need to see and hear him in the flesh. Great vocalist as well, and does some great straight blues but also rock original material.

Hope to be back next week, will post more details.

Cheers,

He is stopping by Denmark too. Maybe I'll go there, never heard of him though!

0jimi, you surprise me! Check him out on YouTube, definitely worth seeing in the flesh. You'll love him.

Cheers,

I am a huge Joe Bonamassa fan.  I love his style, I love his playing, I even love his voice (some don't care for the voice, I like it).  He has a tone that is unmistakable, he has a Joe Bonamassa tone and sound, that is rare thing.  Damn fine guitarist.  I love his Les Paul tone.

He was mainly playing Les Pauls last night. Wow, what a guitarist, what an attitude. Really at his peak on the live stage. Really tight backing band as well, my son was inspired by the bass player. We got really wet but had a great time.

I saw him last summer, for only $25 a ticket!
I really like how he still keeps with the old bluesmans style...dressing like hes going to the bank to ask for a loan, for his shows.
He also played his signature Les Paul the whole night, goldtop w/black back and hardware.
I noticed he played the bridge pup the entire night...as well as the same guitar pick, all the way up til he threw it out before the encore(thats some serious pick control).

I was going to see him in Southampton in Dec, but it couldn't all be worked out. It's a long way from here ( about 4/5hours drive). Was going with my son who's only about 45mins away from there, and his ex girlfriend, and staying overnight with him, but plans changed, so 

Shame I couldn't get to the RAH earlier this year---- he had Clapton on with him too!!!!!!

Total master of what he does!!!
