This month, I'd like to talk about how the banjo has informed my guitar style and inspired the music of Rascal Flatts.
As a guitarist who grew up exploring a wide variety of musical styles, I have always been inspired by the sounds of other stringed instruments, such as the pedal steel, fiddle, mandolin and banjo, and the ways such instruments foster, due to their different tunings, distinctly non-guitar-like ways of playing melodies or chords.
I'm especially intrigued by the five-string banjo because of its bright tone and percussive quality and the way it naturally lends itself to playing rolling, syncopated arpeggio patterns, like those prominently featured in bluegrass music. Great banjo players, like the innovative and technically brilliant Béla Fleck, have shown the world what's possible with the instrument and how, in the right hands, it can be used to play a lot more than just traditional folk- and bluegrass-style licks, as his highly eclectic, progressive style showcases.
i'm in love with his tone!
Nervus same here!!
Love his tone
The last album they have done is really their best
Love this guy.
It would be great to have a segment where Joe Don goes over his gear in all of these videos and signal chain. I think he is rocking his Bogner Ecstasy 101B ?
I usually don't like country music or the banjo; however, this guy is slowly warming me up to them: good video.
Thats the real rockin roll !
wow his tone is amazing! and the way he can copy other instruments like banjo and pedal steel on guitar is awesome!
Joe Don is badass when it comes to the guitar
Best playing I have heard in a while!
Which Les Paul do you suppose this is? It has to be one of the most beautiful I’d ever seen.
Amazing artist !
Awesome! Great sound!
Fantastic
These are really great interviews. I was never really a Rascal Flatts fan, but this guy is awesome. Does Guitar World have these with any other artists?
