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
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
@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.
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
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!
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!!
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?

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.
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.
That is easily one of the greatest solos ive ever heard.
One of the greatest blues guitarists - he has so much to say in his playing

Very lovely solo. Thanks to learn more blues from your videos.
He phrases like a singer might scat a solo, and that vocal like phrasing makes his playing so nice to listen to! Bravo!
I'm watching this video for the hundredth time. So Good !

Fantastic job Josh!!!
Just like Stevie was passed the torch by Albert King, it's time for Josh Smith to carry it now!!! Hoorah!!
Awesome. It's especially the EJ-stuff that gets you.
This man is not normal! And that is a compliment!
3:09 I think I actually had an eargasm ❤
Simply the Best
The BEST at creating tension Unreal
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
Woooow that was like food for my soul. Beautiful!!
One of the best blues pickers around
I think he deserves more fame and attention 🤔
That's really cool, and it sounds different from what I've heard from others.
That vamping melts my ear drums
Josh is the man.. No words.... String 1...0,13.🎸✌️👈
