Joe Bonamassa is my all time favorite guitarist. I discovered him while deployed to Iraq 05/06 when someone sent me a Blues Deluxe CD. He instantly blew my mind. Great interview. Thank You.
These fucking scammers are relentless. If you like Joe and play guitar, you’ve got to see him live. I’ve seen him at Red Rocks and man it was incredible!
If you love gear, and I do, there is not many people more interesting to listen to talk about it than Joe. He’s now a curator and historian in addition to his musical prowess.
I love where this is going, and you couldn't have started on a stronger episode. I don't think I've ever clicked off of an interview with Joe early. Passionate, knowledgeable, hilarious, and self-deprecating.
What can you say after watching this? Such an amazing way to reboot the show guys, absolute killer job. I think it's impossible to dislike Joe, such a humble person, seen him live last year and already booking the tickets for next year, the experience worth every penny, love the man and the music he makes.
No humble person says, "You can't dismiss ad hoc", to what HE SAYS, while dismissing AD HOC what anyone else says about his guitars. That's not humble, it's arrogant, narcissistic, and juvenile.
Just saw Joe’s kick-off to his fall tour TONIGHT in Springfield MO. Phenomenal show, the band was tight, and Joe was ripping. Get your tickets, people! You will not be disappointed.
Best hour and half i've spent in years listening to people just talking about guitars and amps and the future of music with out one note being played. Thank you!
22 y/o here and been playing for 12 years now, grew up on 60s/70s rock and its still my favorite. I have just one friend who is recently getting into the older stuff because he picked up guitar the past year. Its been so cool to show somebody all the greats and help him discover his sound.
Great choice for your 1st guest. Going to see Joe in 2weeks for the sixth time. Always a great show for both music and gear! Thanks guys it was fun to watch.
“How can you know if no guitar is worth more than 1500$ if you haven’t played one of these?” Touché Joe! Spot on! There are a lot of people living in a zone (and building a personal brand on it) where they claim to be experts but know or experienced very little of this vintage stuff! What a difference is to be relevant (as Joe is) rather than trying to… ;)
Tried my best not to !ike J.B. but watching him in his Nashnerd apartment playn and talkin old guit fiddles I now highly tolerage him. ok ok I like him now. On stage....not as much. Its the tuff guy faces I think.Not a huge fan of over playing and flash.
I'm a huge fan of blues music and I like listening to Joe talk about gear but I do not like his music. Having said that, I'm a huge fan of Chris Cain, Kingfish Ingram and Mike Zito. I just personally think they put out better albums but no disrespect towards Joe.
Nice episode! If you're 16, watching bands in their 20's- those are your heroes and you've got your eye on $1,500 -$2,500 guitars. Thats what you'll be chasing.
Hell yeah, more Mythos ghostbusters! Congrats on the new direction for the show gents, amped to see where it goes from here. Great first ep to kick off 2.0
GREAT INTRODUCTORY GUEST TO YOUR SHOW, GUYS! 1st full interview I've seen with joe,..and it was GREAT! What a down to earth DUDE!, I'm in Canada, so the "everyman, 'aw shucks Folks, I.m just a journeyman hockey player who loves to pllay the game!" stylle is very appealing! = No nonsense, no fuss!, no muss! no bother! - just a pure llove of the Game! In this case, the game is Guitar! and Joe is a Great Ambassador of the instrument!! Just as Gretzky is a Great Ambassador of his "instrument" Its a pleasure to listen to someone whose primary motivation is the Love of his craft, and appreciates the chance to share it with the World! Rock on, Joe!, and hope to see you in Canada some day! Salut, guys!
Great episode, I’m glad that it’s not edited for profanity. I understand that someone was taking the kids to school and it was hard to explain, but I feel it’s harder to explain why you’re making your kids listen to podcasts instead of jamming out to their new idols if they don’t understand curse words. I get it’s not for everybody and can be over used, but it’s more authentic to life and truthful than self editing.
Guys this is great. Hope we don't loose the patreon Dips altogether though, best part of the show. It's your connection to the people, don't loose us! ❤
At one moment I nearly switched this off because I thought Joe was too much on his high horse, however this turned into an interesting and thoughtful conversation. Kudos to you both.
I’ve heard people run down Joe before but all I can say is you don’t come across people like him everyday, he’s an absolute wealth of knowledge a fabulous musician and just a really sound bloke 💙👍🏼
I was sales manager of one of the first ten vintage stores. By 1974 we had (out of necessity) linked with the other stores all over the country. It became apparent by then the want and need of the 1948 to 1965 electric guitars was linked to who was playing them that the buyer idolized (as the rock stars incomes went up, the prices went up). Until the Wall Street Journal did a front page article (I think in 1979?) stating they had been tracking these instruments for years and they were the most stable investment they had ever tracked. At that point business men were buying them, and how they played wasn't a real factor- they were part of their portfolio.
As someone who ate a minimum diet and had a luxury item of a dvd once a year to save for a guitar I appreciate Joe's passion for these instruments. Great show guys. :)
Met this man at Hauer Music in Dayton Ohio my local music shop , they’re 50 sum yrs in business , he was literally playing just a couple blocks away during the blues deluxe tour , he gave me 2 tickets in will call , & this kid was brilliant player & just down to earth real person.The fame hasn’t gone to his head ! Did I mention he blistered that guitar lol
Great first episode! Congrats! And Joe is always a great interview and you both did a great job asking great questions!! Very enjoyable to listen to . . .
I saw a 3 night stint with Cheap Trick at 1st Avenue Mpls. They did Heaven Tonight, In Color, and Dream Police front to back, 1 album/night each night and Rick pulled out a different vintage guitar for every other song. Like Joe talked about.
I remember - at least 35 years ago, maybe more - I was doing my 1st country gigs (didn't like country, but it paid well). There was a rival band in my small city & the leader was a strummer/singer - classic old style country. I knew this stuff up,down & sideways & had a pretty decent rep at the time. He offered me the Lead Gtr spot in his band. I think I was in between bands & he ALWAYS worked. SO he invited me over to his place - upstairs, above a huge garage he had an actual nightclub recreation - stage, dance floor, tables ,Bar. He took me to a room downstairs & I had never seen so many Fender Amps in my life Hundreds of all sizes & models. And another room with more Tele's than you could imagine. His horde would be worth MILLIONS nowadays ! WOn't name the guy, but I bet many of you out there know who he is. The catch was - if you worked in his band, you had to play one of his Tele's & one of his Fender amps. I was young at the time & couldn't appreciate those tools OR the music they played. I said no. I have heard this guy moved to a state with lots of room - way out. And is now a consultant on all matters Fender. I would be very surprised if Joe B. doesn't know this guy.
Same convo I have with my boomer dad and his buddies about their classic cars. They seem to think the hey day of these vehicles has passed. I'm still excited to drive around my dad's '66 442.
Loved seeing Shifty’s rig dipped! That stripped Les Paul is beautiful. Chris has said that he can’t usually get away with single coils for Foos gigs because they’re just a loud band, he did take out a Strat recently for a few new songs last year.
33:00 I go to that place in VA Beach he's talking about all the time, it's up by Lynnhaven. You can get all kinds of memorabilia there, from your favorite childhood toys to a dining set your grandmother might have owned to antique signage. I can vouch for it being a picker's paradise.
I went to Nashville with my dad 2 years ago, we went to the musicians hall of fame and museum, I saw an MTV music award and was blown away! I have a picture of it.
Great episode. I almost never watch podcast style shows because they are long and I should be practicing instead. But I will hang out for a good interview. Especially in person (not web meetings). Joe B was great. He is a wealth of knowledge, down to earth and doesn't sugar coat his comments. Really enjoyed it. Suggestions for future episodes; Ben Mcleod from All Them Witches, Marcus King, Tom Bukovac, Billy Duffy, Sturgill Simpson. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do next.
RE: 1:18:59 in on the subject of performing on “the real thing”. I attended a show with Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives Marty playing the Parsons / White B-Bender as if that guitar on it’s own was the fifth member of the act. A part of the audience came to see that guitar in action.
FINALLY: Someone asked Joe about playing PRS guitars! Joe's reason for not playing them was odd scale length. That is where the conversation ended because it felt like Joe did not want to go down that road. I have always thought the the Guitar Nerd conversation made in heaven would be Paul Reed Smith and Joe talking guitars.
This is good stuff guys! I'm excited to see where this podcast goes, if this is just the beginning of 2.0 🤘🏼 Also, might I say, it's quite refreshing not having it censored :)
I agree. Whether it was self-censorship in the moment or editing afterwards it always disrupted from the conversational feel of the show (which is one of the big appeals to me).
LOL about the Tosin 8 string story. That reminded me of an audition I had on short notice, with a very well known blues guitarist here in Canada...where I took my newly converted 4 string to 5 string bass, that I hadn't played an hour on yet... and was dropping clams like no tomorrow thru the whole audition. Needless to say I didn't get the gig. But I did learn a valuable lesson.
For me, my continuation of attraction to music lies in the working out of how to "work it out" in real time. Music is most alive only within the time frame that it is being generated. Each generation is unique but, the perception of that varies for each listen, even if that listener is also a player participating in the generation of that musical experience. A player is never alone, even if there is no one around.
I would have liked to have heard Joe speak to the guitars of Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. I've always loved their music, but their live shows included amazing display of cool instruments. I don't know how "valuable" they all were, but they sure were beautiful, and I loved that they made music with them vs kept them in a museum.
I mentioned this in the Beato vid. In the 80s, I could never have imagine playing an old man guitar or listening to 70s old people music. The guitars I coveted were the shredder Kramers and Jacksons. I even wanted a midi guitar. But as you get older, you look back and realize your myopic vision when young was silly. Now 70s music is my favorite and I was barely aware of music then, and all my guitars are the classics. It will happen to this generation too.
i don’t think it’s silly, the heroes of your youth got you into guitar, just like the prog guitar players & Instagram/RUclipsrs are getting kids into instruments now, maybe they’ll find their way back to the classics or maybe they’ll say been there, done that & keep blazing forward. The old stuff can’t stay alive forever, I don’t want it to go but I get that music & society in general will progress forward & hopefully they’ll all want 7 string headless weird guitars & there will be more old Les Pauls for us lol
JOE JOE JOE. Awesome interview. Just bought his inlay ES335 and holy cow it plays amazing so I found a 2018 inlay JB ES355 on Reverb so I got it to. Two wonderful and beautiful guitars. Now I need to figure out how to get Joe to sign them. I'm going to see him in Dec in Seattle. Friends of Joe ask him to sign these for me. I'm just a fan but I figure why not try.. .
all vintage stuff will have an appeal in the future: electric guitars, acoustic, amps, cars, audio components, records all from the 50's 60's and 70's.
I just turned 31. I got my first les paul custom at 23. I chose a 1981 over the new ones. Since 23 I have purchased several vintage Gibsons, I actually just bought a 1976 Les Paul Artisan. Vintage Fender and Gibsons will always be popular. I wasn't around in the 50's, 60's, 70' or even the 80's. But the earlier the Gibson, the more excited I get. I hope to one day own a 68 les paul custom. That's my dream guitar, only because I know a burst is just too far out of reach.
According to Star Trek, reversing the polarity of the Positron and rerouting it through the deflector array can solve about any problem. It risky, but it just might work.
Saw Rick Nielsen recently with Rod Stewart. Definitely vibed with the comment that seeing him was about the music but also just seeing that gear. It was a really cool show just watching what gear her brought out.
I really enjoyed the show guys, the interview with Joe was very interesting to say the least. I think the providence of the gear has loads to do with the hole vintage thing. Right someone shout player grade. 👍👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas.
Joe, if you toast the wheat bread and add peanut butter you have the eight essential amino acids needed to sustain life. In 1972 I was looking at a 1959 Sunburst Les Paul for $675.00. I knew what it was, but my wife started pitching a fit about so much money for a used guitar - I should have bought the guitar and left her. After all it is the ninth essential to sustain life for a guitar player.
I think for the new guest episodes it would be cool to have a celebrity be dipping the rig of a patreon
Yeah! Imagine Dan Auerbach dipping a rig
I love this idea!
Cool 👍
Yea that's actually prolly doable also
Agree

Too many incredible tracks recorded with PAFs and wooly Marshalls
Great choice for your 1st guest. Going to see Joe in 2weeks for the sixth time. Always a great show for both music and gear! Thanks guys it was fun to watch.

48:37 : "I hate that word 'boomers' ". I think Joe feels attacked coz he makes music for boomers and deep down inside is one 🤣🤣🤣
The level that JB operates is so far beyond the average guitar player it’s no wonder why he doesn’t want to deal with all the petty 💩 on social media.
36.15. Gold Jerry! Gold!

I just turned 31. I got my first les paul custom at 23. I chose a 1981 over the new ones. Since 23 I have purchased several vintage Gibsons, I actually just bought a 1976 Les Paul Artisan. Vintage Fender and Gibsons will always be popular. I wasn't around in the 50's, 60's, 70' or even the 80's. But the earlier the Gibson, the more excited I get. I hope to one day own a 68 les paul custom. That's my dream guitar, only because I know a burst is just too far out of reach.
We need a discussion on people who hear with their eyes. Brilliant
Great show, congrats guys, looking forward to your future.
Its them F**kin Drummers 😂🤣 This was great, love Joe!
Awesome Ep guys
I like how you give suggestions on Chris Shiflett's rig....please.
I have an R4. I'll put in that "best Les Paul" reissue convo.😉 Love the P90s in it. Although I do want an R8 or R9. Glad you guys are back....🎸🤘
I’m 41 and only in the last 2 years I can afford the vintage guitars I’ve always wanted. The market has a future
According to Star Trek, reversing the polarity of the Positron and rerouting it through the deflector array can solve about any problem. It risky, but it just might work.
It's has to work!😡
Zack's moustache looks hella cool. I dig it.
Saw Rick Nielsen recently with Rod Stewart. Definitely vibed with the comment that seeing him was about the music but also just seeing that gear. It was a really cool show just watching what gear her brought out.
I really enjoyed the show guys, the interview with Joe was very interesting to say the least. I think the providence of the gear has loads to do with the hole vintage thing. Right someone shout player grade. 👍👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas.
Joe, if you toast the wheat bread and add peanut butter you have the eight essential amino acids needed to sustain life. In 1972 I was looking at a 1959 Sunburst Les Paul for $675.00. I knew what it was, but my wife started pitching a fit about so much money for a used guitar - I should have bought the guitar and left her. After all it is the ninth essential to sustain life for a guitar player.
