Been listening and playing blues all my life. My son is named after SRV. In my opinion Josh is one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time. For me alongside Derek Trucks probably the best living blues guitarist. So humble. So delicate. Such a beautiful touch. Sophisticated phrasing. And that tone is just other worldly. He has it all.
@@kvnboudreauxI deeply appreciate kingfish (-!: I’m a proper old school blue sky. SRV, Albert King, BB, Freddy, Albert Collins, etc.), but king Fish has far fewer dimensions to his style Josh. Kingfish has all the raw emotion. Josh had so much it’s unreal
@Peter Maurer As you have NO idea what he has heard, his statement could be valid; so, I would put forth, YOUR statement is the one that is uneducated.
This is probably the best track i ever listened to regarding the blues. I had the opportunity to have a full consert in a small place in Norway a couple of years ago with you, and i was sold. I was afraid no one could carry the torch of beeing a great artist in this music genre among the "next" generation. But dont worry... Josh Smith, you fill those shoes. Ps: a couple of spelling errors, but you are amazing.
11 wish i could play that jealous people so far ! Iam a guitar player i can hold my own groud but this dude kills me inspire me and gives me ideas and he makes me feel good just by listening to his thinking and awsome all around skills !!! This is a new era of blues for shure Thanx Josh
Please don't take this the wrong way, but you look like the baseball coach that can smoke on guitar! You are one of the best. Have seen many of your videos and know your story. Keep it real and I look forwards to where you take us next!
Hands Down. Josh is the Finest Blues Slinger walking the Planet right now! That’s my opinion-but I bet Stevie Ray is up there nodding his head too! Josh has it all going on. The speed of Eric Johnson, the soul of Albert King. And the fire of Stevie Ray
One of the best blues players i've ever heard.. In the list among other players like SRV, Derek trucks or Joe Bonamassa.. If he had been born in another time in the past, perhaps he would be really famous
0:48 I adore this lick but seriously I'm years away from this kind o' skillziez! I love this lick at 1:25. It's easy to follow but I feel like the dunce of the class, sitting up the back leaning back on my chair so the back touches the wall and the 2 front legs are airborne. Subbing!
Incredible! Touch of S. R. V. in there. Couple licks remind me of Buddy. Mr. Josh has pulled on some very top players + I think it shows the seriousness but also his fine taste! Fantastic job Josh!!! Just like Stevie was passed the torch by Albert King, it's time for Josh Smith to carry it now!!! Hoorah!!
Superb! What a feeling. Anyone knows the gear setup? Is this just guitar and tube amp or are there any compressor / overdrive pedals? Just trying to compensate my lack of playing mastery with gear knowledge...
Josh is brilliant and one of the finest blues players out there today. However, in my opinion, no one can touch Roy Buchanan! Check out the album Live Stock - Roy’s Blues and I’m Evil. These are live performances.
Josh, you are a guitar Master! Your knowledge of guitar is legendary. I mention you in guitar conversations and people go who? I say check him out! Thanks 🙏🏽 🤙🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽

Absolutely. He is one of the greatest of all time. And Derek Trucks! Glad someone else feels that way too
Have you ever listened to kingfish?

I love blues players who know how to phrase and don't just mindlessly play fast. Such great Emotion and technique!
he knows how to respect silence, his phrasing is awesome because of that!
Josh plays to express, not to impress.
Josh's lines are like an endless river. His playing is creative and sophisticated, yet soulful.
Josh excels in so many areas, but what really grabs my ear, is his dynamics.
What a pleasure it is to listen to this man play the blues.
No,this must be an alien playin' here 😅...Wow,ow can someone be so excellent!😊👏🎸.....Probably the best piece I've ever heard in my life.
That might be the best blues lead playing I've ever heard in my life
I think I agree with you. Josh is simply fantastic
It’s one of the best that’s for sure

I agree

RUclips needs a "Love" button for videos like this
One of the greatest blues guitarists - he has so much to say in his playing
That is easily one of the greatest solos ive ever heard.
Josh Smith and The Rhino Cats....West Palm Beach........went to see you twice.Been a long time.
This is probably the best track i ever listened to regarding the blues. I had the opportunity to have a full consert in a small place in Norway a couple of years ago with you, and i was sold.

My favorite thing he ever did The recording quality here might not be terrific but this version is grand ruclips.net/video/gJcB5uCILxQ/видео.html
You have a great feel. Nice clean impressive playing. I will check out more of your music.

3:09 I think I actually had an eargasm ❤

Dude has the touch!! Also that tone tho 😍 🤘🏼
What a phenom. Aggressively beautiful playing, as always bro!
One of the best blues players i've ever heard..
In the list among other players like SRV, Derek trucks or Joe Bonamassa..
If he had been born in another time in the past, perhaps he would be really famous
Great playing , this is the style of Peter green and in my opinion the perfect way to play blues
Beautiful playing and such tasteful Blues phrasing, too!
Wow, took me to an entirely another universe. Supernatural man. Thank you
This man is not normal! And that is a compliment!
He phrases like a singer might scat a solo, and that vocal like phrasing makes his playing so nice to listen to! Bravo!
Very lovely solo. Thanks to learn more blues from your videos.

Incredible
The BEST at creating tension Unreal
Love your style Josh - awesome phrasing 😍
That vamping melts my ear drums
One of the best blues players of these times
Wow, a masterclass. I believe I've just been schooled.
He's amazing! I love his playing🎸👍
It is rare to hear him play blues without jazzy influences but go damn it is amazing 👌👌🏽👌🏽
Wasn’t much of a jazz fan until I started listening to Josh. Matt Schofield too
I think he deserves more fame and attention 🤔
Josh is so good . He is so good
Amazing. I would love to see a Josh Smith/Derek Trucks jam session
Josh Smith is the man amazing guitar player🔥🔥🔥👏
That's really cool, and it sounds different from what I've heard from others.
Beautifully creative and original , right in the pocket ..Bravo Bravo
Crazy brilliant! I'm clocked out.
Incredible! Touch of S. R. V. in there. Couple licks remind me of Buddy. Mr. Josh has pulled on some very top players + I think it shows the seriousness but also his fine taste!
Fantastic job Josh!!!
Just like Stevie was passed the torch by Albert King, it's time for Josh Smith to carry it now!!! Hoorah!!
How could people possibly dislike this...?
Josh you the man... I love you playing ❤️...
Thats what I need right now!❤
Woooow that was like food for my soul. Beautiful!!
Love your style

Pure precision.
Josh Smith 🙈 Brilliant 🤩 Thanks for yet another great video. 👍🏻
WOW!
Gotta be the sharpest blues I ever heard
Wicked good! I hear some Dwayne in there similar to Loan me a dime with Boz Scaggs
Awesome playing.
Perfection...sweet and smooth....
Great performance. Congratulations moster
Simply the Best
Awesome. It's especially the EJ-stuff that gets you.
Great solo! Thanks from Italy!
He does a great job backing up Joe Bonamassa. Joe recently introduced him as “the best guitar player on the stage”
The GOAT.
Set to repeat!! Wow! Incredible Playing, Mister Smith!!!!
Wow .am speechless
so many licks to steal
GOLD🎸🎶
Didn't even know 16 bar blues existed till now. Loved it 🙂
Bravo 👏 great skills
Superb! What a feeling. Anyone knows the gear setup? Is this just guitar and tube amp or are there any compressor / overdrive pedals? Just trying to compensate my lack of playing mastery with gear knowledge...
Beautiful!
One of the best blues pickers around
The best
Outstanding
Pure poetry - thanks!
Glad I accidentally discovered Josh.
He is indeed one of the best around
Epic AND a modern legend indeed!
killer tone and dynamic
GREAT JOSH!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Legend is a Huge word
What are some songs with good melodies in a 12 bar blues in g minor like this? Looking for same tempo, drag beat, slow…
Very nice, very reminiscent of Roy Buchanan.
Very Nice.
You are the Best, my friend, a lot of work, passion and skill, God bless!
RIGHTEOUS !!!
Genius in modern era
Josh is brilliant and one of the finest blues players out there today. However, in my opinion, no one can touch Roy Buchanan! Check out the album Live Stock - Roy’s Blues and I’m Evil. These are live performances.
Josh is the man.. No words.... String 1...0,13.🎸✌️👈
Aparte de ser de los mejores guitarristas de blues del momento, la guitarra tiene muy buen sonido
Este tipo es un CRACK!!! Grande Master!!
Absolutely masterful...
Just incredible.
