Joe Bonamassa plays Yamaha LJX26C -Woke Up Dreaming

[01warmus]

:o ... my hands (especially right) would be completely out of juice after the first verse... excluding the intro... this man has no muscles, pure steel

[miles1dimebag]

joe should have acoustic guitar battle with "very famous" guitars players....might be interesting

[luisao519]

THIS SUCKS!!!

[weblock]

joe and derek trucks are demi gods !!!

[hazthefool]

better than hendrix ??? ;)

[RaiseAndFall1]

@hazthefool i think there will be or is someone who´s actually better than hendrix :) but who knows

[BenBrnSmith]

@RaiseAndFall1 Yeah, this guy.

[RaiseAndFall1]

@BenBrnSmith he´s my favourite guitarist too, so yeah :)

[hazthefool]

@RaiseAndFall1 ;)



[freddymclain]

DADGAD? or what?

[bigfatbass]

Joe is AMAZING, that guitar sounds like complete ass.

[TheChartodd]

I agree with RunDuckDuck 100% LOL

[7CieGrim]

Tried to play this... Now my mind and my fingers are burning !

[UtzChips2009]

Very nice, clean looking guitar. Unlike some of those Martins that are loaded up with bling.

[UtzChips2009]

This performance speaks more for the ones handling the electronics than it does the Yamaha guitar. Any quality acoustic would do.

[interpidwoody]

@UtzChips2009 That's about the biggest bullcrap I've ever read on Youtube

[UtzChips2009]

@interpidwoody Many people find a lot of pearl inlay on a guitar [which I call "pimpish bling"] beautiful. You must be one of 'em. I hate all the pearl bling on the expensive Martins & the gold tuners are ugly.

[interpidwoody]

@UtzChips2009 Actually, no, I'm more of a 'natural' guitar guy, but thanks for the .. compliment

[legendarygunslinger]

Woke up dreaming sucks on the album. but live its f*cking epic!!!!!

[BenBrnSmith]

C'mon Joe, where's the other guitarist?

[hardflip1983]

wish i can find a cover from the begin... do you guys know someone who did it?



[DavidPileGuitar]

matrix glasses ftw

[SokSa]

dude plays the guitar, and he does PLAY the darn thing. it's like fiddle on guitar :))

[Sparkz49]

I could listen to 1:44 to 1:59 all day long.

[TheBrunosaurus]

It's Time for him !

Wonderful!

[criticalmass04]

Yeah, I agree with giampietrocerolini :)

[MiceCrispy]

Lets hear it for the granny rockin' out in third row!

[TheFusionjazz]

wonderful

[rrgert4]

wonder how he like fades the guitar volume :D

[EpicNerd55]

@rrgert4 I think that's just his hands controlling the guitar's volume through his finger attack.

[demure1113]

I saw him in Chicago last night for the 1st time...an incredible talent! I've watched the Sloe Gin Video at least 10 times today.  Why is this guy not more well known???

[giampietrocerolini]

who will give the courage to touch again my guitar tomorrow mornig???????

[soundmusiclover]

Orgasmic

[donbut66]

Sounds like the intro to La Villa Strangiato.

[arodion499]

Bullshit, still miss by Chet Atkins.

[Sparkz49]

I love how the audience is absolutely silent through the whole thing to give the song the full effect. They don't dare spoil the quiet sections. Just listening and enjoying.

[11kirky]

2 dislikes, 2 effing dislikes, what the f**k do you want, the man is f**king brilliant, you must be the devil and god, no wonder you're stuck at the crossroads, miserable sods.

[rrgert4]

i think IGOR has a competetor

[Bensley025]

BUT can he play guitar hero?!?!?!?!?



[EvanThomasD]

Can't wait to see him live!

[abelneftali1]

NO words

[RunDuckDuck]

The man's a genius. I'm almost certain he could play this on a toothbrush.

[moneyquickeasy]

If even I had the skills to play this ( I don't. let''s be clear), no way could I play it in the prestigious royal albert hall with filled to the brim with thousands of people watching me ... hell, that's a quite a skill in itself

[laiholapso]

notice how asshole have totally ruined the name justin its sick dude

[capjoartist1200]

fantasmagorical

GOOGLE =JOHAN CAPIAU

[bluebirdreviews]

This is why we have fallen so very hard for Joe Bonamassa.

[tulanderio]

I imagine watching John Mayer triying to get this song must be like watching a monkey trying to use a computer... with the 2001 an space odyssey movie scene of the bone in the in the air, but with a guitar instead

[alrsf08]

nice guitar, and nice guitar player hahahaha

[infinityjet]

6:32 his parents are to the right and his sister is the one clapping

[Sincityroork]

Beautiful voice + beautiful guitar + amazing play = Joe Bonamassa

[MrDarknightRaider]

the once who disliked.

They are blind. They said:this soounds awesome.

Where is the like button.they missclicked.

[JEUXolim]

wow. Just insane, this guy is awesome.

[mcbm1991]

Townshend would have had to have been a good guitar player to do this 33 years ago.

[jgmusic526]

not taking anything away from him, I admit he's good......but Pete Townshend did this 33 years ago......

[Netthuno]

Show! Long life to the King !!! Two idiots did not like it !!!

[dashyr1]

Ok.... The only thing I need, is 10min16sec of Bonamassa: Woke Up Dreaming, and ill do alright..........

[bgnjoe]

Been listening to Joe for years, but have never seen him live and this is the first video of seen. Wow. Amazing.

[matiescoda]

minuto 8, simplemente increible

[daytosoon]

Take a look at Tommy Emmanuel.

[TMonsterthefat1]

i can watch this all the time... never would get bored... awesome shit

[finnbjerke]

masturbation?

[Kazzzper1234]

@finnbjerke Jealousy?

[ibmiami]

The dog's bullocks in guitar playing... they should do another Friday Night In San Francisco.

[fbswilliamsja1]

I think the one person who downvoted this video clicked it by accident

[mrgigabyte1]

This is one of the best pieces of accoustic guitar solo I ever heared... never gets old.

[soundmusiclover]

this is the best version of this song he does, and it does sound the best on a yamaha. 

[metalex97]

one guy bought the same guitar becouse of this.

he sucked!

[soundmusiclover]

this is incredible 

[Rawrk92]

Going to ask the stupid question, is there a tab for this ANYWHERE? I'm actually dying to give this a go!

[MissLoveDistraction]

Never heard this guy until now, I think i am in love.

[tallguy111]

7:20 is the beginning of the single best thing in the history of music

[tallguy111]

@tallguy111 correction, 0:00, is the beginning of the best thing, 7:20 is the start of my favorite part of that best thing

[shicky42]

@tallguy111 Very Al Di Meola - type - playing and it's very good indeed. He is growing allot in music - it's always a pleasure to listen to Joe.

[southsimpleman]

I "discovered" Joe B. 3 years ago and can´t stop to listen to him. He is awesome !

And please, if someone doesn´t like this video go and listen to John Mayer (a nice new product like , in other way, Justin Bieber, etc.)

[XavanTasam]

If I may ask, what key is this in? I'm going to have to attempt this!

Meow!

[Guitasteef]

@XavanTasam If this is your question, don't even attempt... ;-)

[tallguy111]

@Guitasteef hahahahah aaaahahahahahahahahahaha you win at commenting

[JamesTiberiusKirk]

one funny fact is, that he gave the yamaha guitar to a guy in the audience, because he had issues with it...

[metalex97]

why is it only showing my views??

[macudt]

Κλάνουμε... Just fart...

[Themmaan]

the one guy that didn't like the vid, better have a good god damn reason... he/she is maybe defffff ;)

[briandut]

Fantastic! He is a god on guitar.

[soocool78]

one reason i hate Joe Bonamassa concerts...in fact this is the only reason...no offense to anyone watching, but his fan base is too...unenergetic at concerts....sitting down and bobbing the head a little, i want to stand without fear of some dude sayign "hey sit down up there"....this is rockinng blues, and the crowd needs to respond to it.....

[dsckakashi]

@soocool78 you are so right ...i would jump through the fuckin room all the time :D

[cuber03]

@soocool78 im going to see him tonight and i`ll be standing up i dont care what anyone says and if the guy behind me tells me to sit down i`ll tell him he`d better stand up i`ll probably be standing on my chair in a minute

[moneyquickeasy]

@soocool78 You do realize this is THE Royal Albert Hall, don't you? And besides, not everyone responds the same way you do, or the way you want them too. I know I wouldn't get up, regardless of how good the music is or how jamming it is. I'm laidback. And honestly, who cares what the crowd is doing?

[soocool78]

@moneyquickeasy i know what your saying and i can respect that, but sometimes i feel that the energy the crowd brings also brings energy to the show...but yes i guess with the Royal Albert Hall, sitting down ain't so bad...but otherwise i stand by my point (though i do see where your coming from)

[moneyquickeasy]

@soocool78 Yeah, I guess that is true. The excitement of the crowd does add a lot of energy to the whole show. Obviously no one wants a crowd that just stares. But you really shouldn't hate his concerts just because of the audience. He's always throws a jaw-dropping performance every time. :)

[soocool78]

@moneyquickeasy i guess when i said "one reason" i really meant, the only reason, hes freaking amazing live, unbelieavable..i love seeing him, i would never not go just because the crowd doesn't share the noticeable excitement that i do :D

[moneyquickeasy]

@soocool78 You've had the privilege to see him in person, live? Respect. I must seem him live. I must!

[infinityjet]

@moneyquickeasy

i met him backstage 3 times now and he's the nicest guy you will ever meet

[TKIllini20]

@Niblund I completely agree, but for a video that is 10 min long, I gotta call the quits eventually. hahaha

[Tommy19911229]

haha, the guy with the white scarf at 1:13 is clearly depressed that he can't play guitar like mister bonamassa!

[johnb5228]

Simply superb. Astonishing technique

[tunefultony]

Simply stunning. Joe has spent most of his life playing & opened for BB King when he was 12 years old!!!! At present he is one of the best blues players on the planet. This piece demonstrates what 8 to 10 hours of practice, per day for 20 years can achieve.

[kingofthemosh]

I wanna see him and Tommy Emmanuel go toe to toe with acoustics. I'd probably have a boner.

[twijnerij]

0 dislikes, the way it's supossed to be!

[MotherAliceSoundJam]

thats the shiznay......



[furiofly]

Wow, he play's that guitar straight in the ass :)

[guitarplayrrr]

i bet he strokes that pussy real good!!



[Geurty420]

i get to see his sexy guitar playin ass in green bay wisconsin in 3 days! one way ticket to bonerville

[Sodericeberg]

NO DISLIKES! He has an anti-troll shield

[SimplyJustRed]

@Sodericeberg

No J. Bieber fans yet found this astonishing music.

[Blues71]

I've heard Joe talk about how hard he worked to master his craft. But isn't it great to see someone who was born to play guitar achieve a goal he set for himself when he was young? Truly, one of the greats of our or any time!......Roy

[dedalev]

Чувак просто крутий гітарист курва маць!

[slisbtor4ok]

maestro

[Niblund]

I just cant stop repeating this video..

[Wolfmots]

Its one thing to listen to him, something completely different watching just how fast his fingers are and how impressive it is that he doesnt miss a single cord at any moment. Eddie Van Halen was praised for this same abillity, but Eddie could never dream of playing like this.

[RknRory]

When I saw him last year he played this on an Alvarez. I know he was having problems with the electronics on the Yamaha. He got so frustrated, he just handed it to a woman in the front row at a show in Paris. Talk about a souvenir !!

[TheConnord12]

first joe video i have ever seen. i am now an instant fan!

[Billiardnut520]

Honestly I could give two shits what he plays ..... .the man is a freakin guitar god.

[rastamaniakTHC]

@Billiardnut520 then Tommy Emmanuel is a fucking god of gods..

[Davesintexas]

Come on......So he plays a Yamaha and some how we are suppose to think that Yamaha guitars are WHAT? Are ALL CUSTOM MADE by their engineers and would cost a normal person 8-10,000 dollars for the same attention and details? Or, that just because he uses one that HE IS PAID TO USE IT AND ITS ALL CUSTOM MADE?

Well, if that guitar is exactly available, I mean every single detail for a normal Yamaha price Im interested.

[RYANROCKS24]

Seen Bonamassa 2 times now. The guys a legend!

[quint020576]

Is dit menselijk? 

[murft61]

My wife and I saw him last week at a small auditorium in Rochester New York USA. There were only 2000 people there. How many people fill Royal Albert Hall?

[seanwoodlands]

@murft61 The Albert hall holds about 5000. I seen him last month in Leicester, England. Only about 1500 there. Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[NChorseluvr]

@murft61: seating capacity is 5544 (including standing room)

[rache7173]

What a man.....amazing! :)

[speedRickspeed]

This vid is amazing. I saw him in Holland, on 6 november in Breda. Actually there isn't a single vid on youtube to describe how it is to see him live. Espacially this song, 'cause the bass is live much more, so you really get that "feeling" !

[lork50]

i saw him live yesterday! he did this song even better than in this video! joe is just great! i was on the fourth row!

[nidjy2]

merci Bibine pour le partage, quelle technique ! ça laisse reveur..... 

[27bibine]

THE GUITAR-MAN !!!! Je vous conseille l'album " the ballad of john henry " vraiment terrible .... et ce moment au Royal Albert Hall, un instant magique ..... j'adoooore !!!

[GMMStrat2]

Fantastic. Very nice playing and tone.

[fendersmyname72]

By far the best guitar player since SRV.

[IB0504]

WoW nice sounds, nice playing

[col33145]

awesome stuff thanks yc

[carbunash]

wow



[sicblades666]

@carbunash Excellent summation! I've seen him do this live, tis breathtaking!

[ungurumc]

nice...

[onraj9mm]

the audience is really slow

[Sif3r]

@onraj9mm No, just audiences in the UK tend to shut the hell up and listen to the music.

[StickyBeets]

@Sif3r i agree!..i heard this piece from one of his live albums where the audience was hooting and hollering, and that obnoxious occasional 'YeeeeeHawwwww!' just took away from the recording..i watched and listened to this video in THX concert mode on my computer..the guitar and vocal surrounding me was awesome!..looking forward to him booking a concert in Michigan soon...
