Had the opportunity to meet him and see him in a small venue. What a great guy!
Joe is a skilled interviewer allows the interviewees to say what they want. Never interrupts. Fantastic video. Thanks Joe.
Thanks as always NYC G… joe
I saw John and his mates playing with the incredible guitar collaboration that was The Hellecasters at McCabe's Guitar Shop, in Santa Monica, sometime in the 90's. Three world class players in a evening of six string extravagance. They were all monster talents. It's hard to remember much about the show other than the fact that it was a great one! P.S. We must remember that That $75 Telecaster that dad was reluctant to buy is about $700 in today's money. Don't you just love inflation? I find myself always needing to do the translation for younger folks who find it hard to believe that you could get an ice cream cone from Thrifty, or a small slurpee from 7 Eleven to go along with your nickel pack of baseball cards, in those days. A father supporting a family of six could own a house on a two dollar an hour wage without his wife working outside of the home. "Sure, Pop..."
John is my favorite musician in the world.
Thanks so much for the insight. Also, the commercials are kept to a minimum which helps with continuity. What I first remember about John’s music was the thought Django, which surprisingly to myself was correct. A true renaissance musician and good individual. His legacy speaks for itself and he only needs to fill in small blanks.Good stories all. Again, thanks for the presentation.
Excellent as always Joe. I warmed immediately to John and looking forward to Part Two.
RIP Dusty Hill and what a great trio ZZ Top have always been.
Thanks again for watching Post 1…..Joe
Great interview as always! I spent a couple hours at the Museum about 3 weeks ago. I absolutely recommend it if you're in Nashville, or make it your reason to visit. So much history, it's not to be missed! I'll be back next trip.
Thanks Bill…. Much appreciated…..Joe
Top shelf work here Joe.Thanks for the great interviews.
Thanks BYR…..Joe
I am Colin Stewart my info is allover my phone just look it’s all over my history
John Jorgenson can teach the rest of us how to do it.
John is both a very humble man and extremely talented, much like Glen Campbell. Like Glen when he was alive, John has a giant legacy while still living. His guitar solos are incredible.
I was a fan of the hellecasters.I had all the cd’s. Listen to mist beyond Delhi. Great song.
Thanks for watching Scott…..Joe
This is great inside.Thanks for sharing. I was looking for the second part about Django but had to realise this is brand new and so I will have to wait. I was person 200 to watch . Just to add a little anecdote. Joe Venutti played his Violin through my AC30 throughout a gig in Germany for 2000 people back in 1971 I believe it was. In 77 there was a half page memorandom in the International Herald Tribune about him and that he had passed.
Thank you for sharing that story.
Another great guest, I enjoy be educated while being entertained.
RIP Joseph "Dusty" Hill
Thanks Kurt….Joe
Fascinating. Joe, you always manage to bring out the best and most interesting. John is very well spoken, fluid, a great interview, and has loads to share, I'm sure. Looking forward to the remainder.
Thanks Roger….Joe
Joe, Excellent job as always. Looking forward to the rest of the interview. RIP Dusty. I’ve got a pretty heavy heart here.
I can't wait to watch this whole series!!! Big DRB fan
Thanks for watching Alan…..Joe
We miss you Joe. Rest In Peace.
John and his band came to my school today to play for us
Loved this man's work on The Missing Years. Beautiful slide guitar player. One of the best. Lovely interview. Thanks so much.
This Guy is a GOLD MINE ! One Again, Thank You Joe. Thank You John Jorgenson.
thanks for this great interview
Thanks DRB…..Joe
Joe, a really great interview! Looking forward to seeing the next episode! Thanks!💫
Thanks Larry….Joe
Saw John in a very small venue in my town a few years ago. He was part of an all-star type lineup. What I remember most from that entire evening was John performing " Back on Terra Firma." It was incredible and totally blew me away. It influenced me to improve my playing and was the first song I put on my CD. Even with my limited ability it comes across as a great song. Thanks John.
Another great interview. Thanks Joe
Thanks Mike…..Joe
❤️ what a grand interview Joe!!
Thanks again Cindy……Joe
Thank you Joe.
You too Tom…. Joe
One of the greatest musicians I have ever seen live. Thanks.
Now that was interesting, wow , I didn't know anything about a flood or the instruments that got ruined , i would love to listen to a show about that , thanks Joe, looking forward to the next one !!
Thanks again Bruce…..Joe
I love these videos! Thank you Joe!
Thanks Joe….Joe
Awesome video and brilliant interview Joe...have much respect for you passion and keep up the amazing content.
Thanks Ivan …Joe
I always enjoy watching these interviews! Thanks Joe❣
Yamaha FG 180 was my first "good" acoustic. It got stolen. Almost 50 years later I'm still looking for it. Had a St. George bass, got it from Mel Bay his own grumpy self.
Really interesting to listen to his 'bio' directly from him. The first time I heard about the SoundCheck flood was from a Vince Gill video. Until today, each time I heard of it again I thought, "What a tragedy." Nice to hear there were some up-sides to it even if you have to look really hard to find them.
On another note: I got the month and day from one of your interviews. Now I know the year. I sent the message yesterday morining. If you got it late it's not my fault! :-)
Thank You again!
Waiting on part 4, Joe! Great series!
Thanks for watching Winston …….Joe
Can’t wait for part 2.
Coming soon… thanks for watching Alan… Joe
This is such a treat! John is such a force of nature and a great guy to boot. Just like Mark Farner from GFR. Thank you for this, Joe!!
Great episode. I love the natural delivery. Hope he talks about the Hellecasters and Michael Nesmith and the LA scene.
I have the first series Texas Special Pickups in a Tele project from 1989.
I had to quit taking it to Jam sessions, cause if I let someone use it for a few songs, they wanted to buy it.
Wound by the grand dame of Fender winders Abigail Ybarra and still the best guitar that I own.
John is a gentleman and a killer player
I am just devastated hearing about Dusty. Like I was when Elvis or Eddie died. Still ...this video is so interesting and talking about the flood just goes to show that things and we are not here forever. But as you know Joe...I love your videos and am looking forward to the rest of the series 👍🏻😎
Thanks as always David…..Joe
That man has played on a lot of albums by several different artists and bands... I MEAN A LOT! Great interview once again Joe, many thanks... George.. Edit At 8:42 If I remember correctly the SG was given the name Les Paul in 1961 because Les was going through a divorce and that had something to do with it.. But I've also heard that Gibson showed Les Paul the new prototype Les Paul guitar & he hated it, but it was already in production for that year... I find the latter hard to believe, but you never know...
George… watch my interview with Les Paul. It’s broken down into a few segments and I think one is why they stopped making the Les Paul. Look up Les Paul Guitars…Why They Stopped Making Them. It’s on my RUclips channel. He did mention his divorce as being the major reason. Best, Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Going to check that out now... I've owned a few Epiphone Les Paul's , a few Fender squires and a Gibson Les Paul Darkfire No.215 ( I fell for a gimmick guitar.. But hey at least it wasn't the Firebird X.. lol ) And the only thing i can say nice about the latter is the red nitrocellulose made the solid body look like it was setting 5 inches deep in it.. One of the sharpest Les Paul Guitar's I've ever seen.. But you know what they say about those sharp guitar's, sometimes they'll cut you... lol. All the electronics started to fail but i knew eventually that stuff would .. what i didn't know was Gibson planned to discontinue most of the parts 2 years after production.. I couldn't get the parts from the part maker Tronical because they stopped making them ( I hope they've gotten the QC department straight since then ) I know the Fender Stratocaster is easier to play along with being easier on your shoulders, back and hips and the neck angle on a LP almost makes it impossible to set the string action low but it's still my favorite electric guitar.. A glutton for punishment I must be.. Lol.. Thanks again Joe, take care and have a good one... George
A 61 SG/Les Paul is a fine instrument. Possibly the easiest playing guitar I've ever played ... and great tone too. A completely different beast than my 72 SG. Playing clubs for 5 sets a night is EXTREMELY difficult with a real Les Paul. The SG even hurt my shoulder by the end of the night. Back in those days, the SG was a great choice for club gigs, in my opinion.
I agree Steve… I had a 72 SG which I liked but it was not anywhere as good as early mid 60’s. The neck joint on the early 60’s was so thin it fit perfectly in the palm of my hand so you could play every fret easily. I also loved my 1974 LP Standard. Best, Joe
Saw John playing with Peter Frampton couple years ago, what a great guitar player.
Joe, you're the best 🙏
Thanks Lee…. Joe
What a great interview Wonderful Joe
Thanks again Nelly…..Joe
Looking forward to part 2.
John is a ridiculously talented multi instrumentalist, but I prefer him playing Tele in a country style. Damn impressive player & seems a genuine guy.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ford……….Joe
I wonder if John knew songwriter/ musician, Darrell Scott, coming up in the Inland Empire, Darrell would have been playing in his Dad's Country band out there about the same time.
Thanks!
🧡
Thanks, Joe, if that guy could ever get a break and play with a good artist, I think he'd make something of himself! :)
Thanks for watching Roger…..Joe
RIP, Joe...
Wow! Interesting!
awesome Joe !!!!!
Thanks Tom….Joe
Time for a little revival of ZZ Top. RIP Dusty.
YA JOE!!
👍
Get Davey Johnstone next please! :D
Good call JT…..I’d like that too… Joe
And Rodney Crowell.
know him from "The Timmies"... or was it "Neo Paris and the Futures"?
I don’t know what he’s referring to when he says easy to play…I mean isn’t the complexity based on the the music…aren’t guitars built similar to each other…??
