      You’re Missing out buddy . This old guy is still always looking to improve, in anyway possible, and going to a Joe Bonamassa concert is motivating, entertaining and money well spent. It’s the best night of the year too( sorry honey).

      I’ve never listened to his music ,or know anyone into his music, but he ALWAYS sells out the local Fox…. Somehow makes loads of money to afford these things. So power to the people who support him.
      I have nothing against the guy, just was never into blues (besides muddy and king).

      When Ed King was in "Lynyrd Skynyrd", Ronnie Van Zandt, used to use him as a "Punching Bag", and he got tired of the abuse, and left the band!! It's a shame how Ronnie treated him, and "Lynyrd Skynyrd" lost a great talent!!

    I love Joe and his passion for vintage guitars. You can tell his love and appreciation for the art of collecting...it also helps to be one of the best guitarists in the world that's a millionaire with enough disposable income to purchase whatever he wants. He's a virtuoso and can't help but playing a guitar if it's in his hands. He legitimately can't go more than 30 seconds without playing a riff.

Initially, didn’t quite “get” Joe, but he’s an acquired taste. I’m doing some acquiring. Cool dude for sure. Nerdy. And that brings more in my mind than so much more. He’s passionate. He’s down to earth. No more to say. Got some more digging to do. And digging good music, and those who make it… for sure. Thanks to Norm for a new drain on my time :-)….

I say it is the best guitar BECAUSE it has NEVER lost its original sound, it has a sound with body, substantial and fat sound. This guitar is from 1955 ( late ) with its 90’s pickups. My father protected it AS A DAUGHTER, and NEVER NEVER NEED REPAIRS BECAUSE IS GBSON.

    Strange, but when Joe (or any prominent guitarist) plays a vintage Les Paul, I really don't hear all that much difference from any other guitar he's playing. I would love to see him play a 60 or 59 next to a 75 or 05 or whatever, and see if there truly is that much difference in the tone. Cool to see videos like this, nonetheless.

    I had pretty much to the penny $297 and no hope to get the rest..and I really wanted it cause I loved Jimmy Page.Right there in the window of We Buy Guitars on 48th Street.
    I wonder realistically how much different this guitar sounds compared to a 59 Gibson Reissue of say 22 years of age ?

    • @Rainyman63
      @Rainyman63 4 года назад +1

      ADD doesn't only make you easily distracted in most usual situations or impatient if you have to do boring work. It makes you also extremely focused on things you love and you are interested in - to the point where you forget to drink, eat or go to the bathroom. Which kinda explaines how JB became the guitar player he is.
