    I was a singer-drummer with both Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan, early 70's. In addition to being a hell of a guitar player, Joe has something neither Danny or Roy ever had. He's a good singer and writes original songs. That counts for a hell of a lot.

      All true, but something that Joe doesnt have is the ability to write good songs. His lyrics are pretty bad. He is a great guitarist and singer, so not being a hater just being honest how i see it. Joe sings and writes like a blues stereotype, i think he never found a way to write how he really feels, you can tell by how he talks and looks there is pain and conflict in him but never really found a way to translate it lyrically into something authentic to him. But to each their own, and hes successful with what he does. Very knowledgeable about guitar gear and playing.

But I know enough to know that Gatton and Bonamassa are vertuoso players. Whether you like their style or not thats your deal. But these guys answer to nobody. They are truly proud members of the greatest to ever play.

      It's just not a good look for a rich white boy who's Dad owns a vintage guitar shop in upstate New York to play the blues. Somewhere along the lines of where all these little kids like Quinn Sullivan , Taz, Joe when he was a kid started wowing crowds with the fact they could play at a young age.. we forgot that blues was a feeling and started to accept blues of today which is emotionless recycled pentatonic scales played at speed. Joe had access to private lessons from greats, access to the greatest guitars available anywhere, all it required from him was a little dedication. He oozes his influences in his playing to the point where he doesn't even have a style. He barely even had to work to get to where he is today. If Joe is the ambassador for blues, no wonder the genre is now dead. Plus he just has this shitty yuppie air about him that no one can seem to stand. With his sun glasses and suits on stage like some kind of egomaniac.... while playing cover tunes. Joe could be so much more then he is, but he isn't.

      I don't care about Bonamassa at all, he plays stiff and mechanical, musicality goes out every second I listen to him playing those licks and runs perfectly well but without any musicality. He's to the blues what Al Di Meola is to fusion, amazing players for sure, boring as hell with the interest of a computer that knows how to play guitar... maybe fascinating at the beginning, repetitive and meaningless in the end. Maybe you find that I'm hating the guy, but I'm not, I'm telling you what I think about his playing... maybe you're just a fanboy

      I wonder who you are to be invoking the contents of the minds of the deceased. Doesn't seem particularly humble now that you mention shining shoes.
      I also wonder why you think you or Danny Gatton or anyone else should be the arbiter of how other people should feel about music. Nobody needs to be in a position to shine anybodys anything in order to have an educated, reasoned opinion about music or simply to be entitled to their own taste for whatever reasons.
      That load of bollocks aside -- it appears to be a hallmark of the overly confident layman to dismiss the vital role of critique in the development of art works, artistic technique, the various fields of art in a broader sense and in the cultural spheres related to these fields, including the act and experience of audiencing, talking about and using art.
      There appears to often be this rather moronic and inexplicable assumption that in order to get to say anything about anything you have to be better at it than whatever person doing it (whatever "better" is even supposed to mean, if you can't get quite specific about "better AT WHAT, FOR WHOM, IN WHAT CONTEXT and with reference WHAT SPECIFIC SET OF VALUES which we should care about FOR WHAT REASON in particular?")
      I say that as someone who, from time to time, gets paid by top level artists to offer critique and sparring during the development of specific performances. Art is usually on a tight budget, so I doubt think they waste funds and precious production time, just so they have someone to shout "someone always has to criticize!!!" at.
      A key part of that job is doing varous forms of audience research in order to get as much of a sense of the audience reception of specific aspects of a specific part of a performance as possible. We do this to understand and assess what we are setting in motion, how it affects people and why, so we can improve on what we are designing. We also do it because, regardless of whose shoes our audience have shone, we believe there is a chance we might learn something unexpected from the unique perspective of each member of the audience, which may greatly impact how we work with the show.
      Critique is a preemptive measue to ensure that we don't discover on stage during some grand premiere, that we have bared our asses in a way we did not mean to.

    Great he gives credit to those who helped make him who he is. Some players you never really hear talk much in detail about that stuff. Especially Malmsteen. I wish one day he'd just admit he basically copied Blackmore's stage moves and look along with a bit of Hendrix and copied Uli's harmonic minor stuff AND yellow strat and yet he always says oh, my influences were Bach and Mozart and yada yada. Yes, classical influenced his music a lot and his fast runs. But guitarists also influenced him. I didn't know Danny had anything to do with Joe but man, Joe really can do the country thing as evidenced here. Joe is really up there in probably the top 20 blues/rock players at this time. He's just settled in with those vocals on top. Super solid and can shred when he wants to.

    Agree !!!; even though I've had alot of arguements wit fans of Breau,
    Scotty, Wes, Django, Johny Smith, Bryant, Garland, Burrell, JWilliams,
    JBreem, Farlowe, Pass. But today Bonamassa, and Kotch could be some of the best players around; but yeah DG was a hurricane,earthquake, & tidle wave all in one...Bonamassa & Kotch smoke Brad Paisley .

    Agreed. Bonamassa is one of the very best players out there today, so more power to him, but in my opinion, he focuses too much on electric blues - especially when he can peel off Gatton-esque runs like THAT. I wonder if it's a commercial calculation? Most people who aren't guitar aficionados would probably find electric blues more familiar & accessible.

    Bonamassa vs. Gatton doesn't really matter..sometimes it's about who has the better agent/who got the better record deal
    I really like both these guys a lot; despite misinformed comments from brainless turds below
    I've liked Danny Gatton for a lot longer; maybe 30 yrs or so since i first heard his stuff.
    I didn't know that Gatton taught Bonamassa. It kind of figures to me now though. Bonamassa and Gatton are guitar gods.
    And for those denigrates who speak harshly of another; surely you're perfect and undoubted better than these pikers.

    People think playing FAST makes you a great player. NO, playing something NO ONE CAN FORGET MAKES YOU A GREAT PLAYER.
    Technically brilliant players are 10 a penny. But players who can come up with songs that stand the test of time. Will get far more respect and immortality. It's about an UNFORGETTABLE RIFF. Not a million notes per second.

    The likes of Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton could play circles around all those players. BUT THEY NEVER HAD THE SONGS. THE "RIFFS". And that's why they will never get the recognition they should of had.
