he is exceleent soloing but even better playing the 2nd guitar and backing up others, very difficult to find in a guitar player used to be the one who does the solo. That's because his style cames from studying chords and not only scales.
Joe may be more popular with the guitar crowd but those who know, know. Robben is pure, unbridled talent. Joe can be fun to listen to, no question, but Robben moves me.
@@oliverchapman51177 Oh Robben has worked at it, too, make no mistake about it. This "gift" is 90 % practice. But I think that 10 % is what separates these guys from the rest.
Big Ford fan here. But he is not exactly slumming by playing with Joe. Joe’s jam with Eric Gales on “John Henry” is astonishing and proves he is a giant, too. They light each other up and get down to some really sick stuff. ruclips.net/video/d9eNyWFT64o/видео.html
after hearing and learning from eric,bb king,SRV, albert K, etc etc who falls in da same basket and there is nothing much to learn from them.....than comes robben.. dont compare anybody with him in blues because he does jazz stuff over blues one cannot play like robben by improving but one has to evolve...!!!
I love both of these guys. One of the things that really sets Robben apart is his strong rhythm playing. Not enough players go for that, but it really makes a difference.
Feels like Robben is one of the last blues players who "builds" a solo in a non-predictable way. He never sounds like he's recycling riffs or going for the easy crowd-pleasing of loud squealing bent note cliches. He can burn with the best but he takes his time and works up to it rather than jumping right to "10" the way most modern guitarists do.
I think I understand what you’re getting at, but there’s more depth and complexity to what Robben is laying out. No disrespect to Joe because he’s exceptional in his own way, but Robben is in his own category. A special player...
@@krball56 Joe will never "catch up" with Robbens mastery. With Joe its licks he has learnt, Robben composes on the spot. I dont think Joe could cut it with Miles Davis
I recommend just watching Robben, especially later in the song, how he tease the band, interacts and just havin' fun . Absolutely top class and lovely to watch. And yeah, Joe is amazing too! Don't get me wrong, absolutely fantastic player. Robben is the goddamn proffesor though. Undisputed. .
Not the first time. There's a video from when Joe was young, about 12, playing with Robben. He hadn't learned to share the stage yet and just took over. It's quite amusing.
his bass snap would wipe JB's glasses right off his face. No hating though, I am sure JB would enjoy that. Love your channel btw, if I'm ever in California I'll definitely stop by and maybe jam :-)
I'm in Australia, so getting to see these great players is quite hard to do. But I've seen each of them twice in recent years and was massively impressed both times. Awesome to see them together here!
Saw Robben at the City Winery on the (May 8th) and he was great and very soulful. He has his own sound and his tones are amazing whether he is playing a Gibson LP or the Tele. Love his sound!
Joe is a cool player, but RF, OTOH, is just a monster player who can comp, solo, and stay back to complement other musicians. I can't think of one player who can do all that, and do well. No one.
Thank you Joe for finally getting out of Robben's way and letting him stand out. Two very outstanding guitar players but Joe always seemed before to want to cut heads with other players.
Four year old comment but I just saw it and I’m going to call you out on it. Joe plays great with others! He always gives other players front time whether it’s a guest, jam session or his own band members. A master at call and response playing! Always respectful and generous with other musicians.
I love Manet, and I love Jackson Pollock. Art is art, and it is subjective in both creation and appreciation. You can carefully and lovingly craft it, or you can splatter it on the canvas orgasmically. Both are valid. I will let you decide who is who here.
folks slag JB,,,,i swear they're just jealous. this vid proves it. y'all playing to a loving crowd in Paris with freakin' ROBBEN FORD??? didn't think so.
Robben can do with ONE guitar and ONE amp what it take a stage full of gear for Joe to do. Two different approaches I guess. I prefer Robben's impeccable tone and phrasing over JB's guitar swapping gymnastics.
Saw Robben bury Santana one nite at The Fillmore. Carlos just stood the there like a lost child. I’ve yet to see anyone with the phrasing that RF has in his playing…🎵🎶
It's hard for me to Watch Joe while Robben is onstage. Apples and oranges in my opinion. Joe is a machine, Robben is all human, soul and feeling. I wouldn't have watched this if it didn't have Robben.. No offense to Joe fans.
@Dr Diablory I remember one of B,'s guitar seminars. I walked out after 20 minutes of him demonstrating how he could play Eric Johnson licks etc. Some people are born with a good ear and all they do is parrot greatness. Robben Ford invents his parts on the spot, that's creativity, that's the difference. No offense meant to anyone, just my humble opinion as a blues player for over 40 years.
@Dr Diablory G.M. was an amazing copyist but like say, Robin Trower he often rose above that and he had deep heart and HONEST emotion which he put into "all those notes" as Albert King would say.
Ford is like from a different planet even when with another genius talent. I have been listening to hi again and even my meager playing starts tilting towards a jazzier sound.
Ummmm, great players here but robben was 1st, joe coppied, and then took it to another level, JB just wants to be better but there’s only one RF. Joes a blend of every bodied he coppied nothing really original, he’ll never be another JH. but I love his playing and all that comes with it.....
god i'm so done with blues, Joe bonamssa with his massive ego taking centre stage when he solos with the horns and backing coming in and to be honest it's been done to death, I would rather hear a well crafted song of any genre with a well constructed solo that fits the song, also joes look is so pretentious its a joke
Comparing guitarists is sooo stupid: If you look at technique: against whome/what do you compare? Is there any ISO 4711? What are the objective criteria????? Does anybody know?

Finally somebody thinks the same way.My brother and I have been plying forever and used to do the same thing.We left that behnid us a long time ago.PEACE
Robben has forgotten more then Joe and anyone in this forum will ever know! Robben played with Miles, and then quit to do his own album and Miles said the door is always open...
Robben is the best guitar player in the world today (for sure). Saw him some times in concert...Incredible! Joe in great, too. I hope to see him one day.
Robben Ford is THE greatest blues guitarist in history. Period. No other guitarist,in this genre has his impeccable time, tone, taste, phrasing nor the ability to play in innumerable musical contexts with all kinds of players. He has created modern blues guitar by injecting a deep understanding of jazz from bop to fusion (which none of the "name" players had any inkling of). Robben is a guitar virtuoso of the highest caliber.
always think Master Robben got that Bluesbreakers and Cream era Clapton legacy. yeah, I know Robben's techniques r light years away better than Clapton.
No offense to Bonamassa, but I always feel no matter if I'm watching a video of these two jamming twenty years ago or today, Robben is always on another level compared to him. Maybe it's just personal preference, but Robben is just one of a kind
Robben's solo Is a masterclass in blues guitar but Joe's one is honestly very creative! And it melts together with Robben's backing chords very tastefully (talking mainly about the swells' part) ....wonder if they prepared it with that scope in mind or if it was all purely improvised 'cause Robben seems very pleased by it.
@@jobo-and-mo TBH, Joe Bonamassa's style is more progressive rock similar to Eric Johnson. Jazz fusion requires more improvisational skills to play over various chord progressions. I've never seen Joe Bonamassa play outside of basic blues and rock arrangements. NEITHER are bona fide blues players. That's just a slight sellout to target a larger listening audience than fusion or progressive rock. It's still not as extreme as George Benson becoming a Top-40 star 😆
@@josephblow5946 Disagree. Joe grew up on British Blues Rock, learned from traditional blues and has always tried new approaches. Has never claimed to be traditional blues artist. Blues is the broad umbrella for many players. Joe plays fusion in fine style with Rock Candy Funk Party. Everyone has their favs. Joe is mine. Love his songs from covers, love,anger, humor and heartbreak. His playing phenomenal in tone and precision. His voice simply one of the best around. Also I was lucky to have seen Joe play with Eric Gales as surprise guest in Huntsville 1st tour after Covid. Last show. He and Gales passed guitar licks back and forth like a relay team: not a competition. Beautiful conversation between friends. Don’t get lost in semantics and pigeon holes. Music is always subjective.
@@jobo-and-mo He may have started on British Blues Rock, but he evolved by emulating Progressive Rock players like Eric Johnson. The point was, he's definitely not a "Fusion" player in the classic sense. Fusion players = John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Gambale, et.al. Robben Ford is on the bottom of the totem pole in terms of hardcore Fusion playing. And yes, the guitar duel with Eric Gales was more epic. Eric Gales is more of a Blues/Rock shredder type like Bonamassa, unlike Robben Ford. A modern day Jimi Hendrix with modern day chops, if you will.
@@tr-mh6nv Kenny G makes more money than Pat Metheny. Do you think Kenny is the better musician? Is Kenny better than Bradford Marsalis ? Your quetion is stupid
I have noticed Joe getting more tasteful and aware of dynamics over the years. Yes he can still blaze but he doesn't just always play fast anymore. I will say Joe is an amazingly precise lead player, rarely hits a bad note.
bluzzjazz I agree. You look at him 6 or 7 years ago and now, it's totally different. While I still think JB is a little sterile, he seems to have calmed down. Now he plays notes, a lot of them admittedly, but he plays them at the right time. I'll always say this, the better you get the harder it is to leave space.
The master and the apprentice..RF jazz phrasing shines through on any blues track..very distinctive style..loved his play on the Tom Cat album with Tom Scott..JB too many notes..same old same old.
Yeah Chris, I completely agree. I loved him with the Yellow Jackets and more recently the tracks he did with Scary Goldings were superb Yes JB same old same old..
Insane!!! Just saw a recent vid for RF for Black Night. Didn't know it was a Ford Band tune from '72. Just knew it from Joe B. Here, Robben got me with the first few notes.. Joe slayed it, though. Incredible. Great these 'giants' got to share the stage In PARIS!!!!
Ja alltid roligt att höra Robben Ford. När man hör honom, David Gilmoure, Mark Knopfler, Lee Ritenour eller Larry Carlton kommer främst tonen i fokus tycker jag. Det tekniska blir på något sätt underordnat även om dessa herrar också är mycket tekniskt drivna.
All personal taste, but Robben tone…my god. He makes every guitar sound like himself. When he hits low notes on that Les Paul, it has so much snap, like a single coil. Tone is really in the hands….
I wonder if robben had his Dumble amp there ..awesome sound ..can only imagine how good it would have been live ..awesome musicians all of them ...ooh la la !!!
I was there, such a fantastic moment ! And just afterthis, Larry Carlton was here on the stage too !!! After this, you don't know what to expect next .... I confess I waited till the end praying for Eric Johnson to come on stage too ....
How many people remember this phrase..."uh Anton drum roll please?" I can't remember how many Late Night's w/David Letterman that I watched while growing up.
To listen to Robben Ford playing blues is so easy on the ears. What a tone!
Robben Ford always seems to play the right note at the right time and in the right place...gifted
Either that or he's spent ten times longer than any amateur practising
He's a musician. That's what they do. Shame about Boneymassarse.
he is exceleent soloing but even better playing the 2nd guitar and backing up others, very difficult to find in a guitar player used to be the one who does the solo. That's because his style cames from studying chords and not only scales.

Robben Ford... THE Gentleman of blues guitar! 🎸
After Joe's solo iI still remember the first phrase Robben played in his solo. That says it all, I believe.
Yeah..I know what you mean. But Robben isn't bad either.
The midrange in Robben's tone is just epic. It's so punchy, yet beautiful all at the same time. His tone is unmistakable. Legendary.

Limits?! Not really! I doubt Joe could play advanced jazz fusion stuff Roben used to play in 70 & 80s...

Oh, you finally pulled your head out of your ass to say something? ...head back in
100% true
You ever played out??? Just askin' because anyone who has knows better. Yes, Robben's a master but slagging Joe B like that isn't right.
Thank you. Well said.

Whos been slagging Joe?
I've been praising Robben.
Maybe humble will really set in by the time hes 60.
Heirs apparent to BB..Guitar gods both...
I was there, such a fantastic moment ! And just afterthis, Larry Carlton was here on the stage too !!! After this, you don't know what to expect next .... I confess I waited till the end praying for Eric Johnson to come on stage too ....
I wonder which gear he used or borrowed from Joe Bonamassa…
This makes Joe look like such a tool.
i cant stand him
Different from Eric Gales better than them.
BLUESNISIMO. HAPPY DAY HAPPY LIFE.
can that guy do my taxes?
How many people remember this phrase..."uh Anton drum roll please?"
I can't remember how many Late Night's w/David Letterman that I watched while growing up.
