Joe Bonamassa - Blues Deluxe - (KillerVersion)

[WNxLigerzx]

Pirate bassists

that is all

[ellonysman]

badkitty, lucky duck you got to see him live...I have to wait till next visit to Vancouver bc

[BadKittyjb]

Joe Bonamassa has been performing for over 20 years and has tone baby! He started opening for BB King when he (Joe) was 12 years old! He now has 12 CDs (#13 coming out Spring '12), 3 DVDs (#4 coming out Spring '12), he played to a sold out crowd (5,000) at the Royal Albert Hall in London (5-4-2009--my hubby and I were there!!!), and he tours with his own band 8 months a year and with Black Country Communion for a couple of months each year. Joe is DAMN good and he's here to stay! Bad Kitty

[CamHawesMusic011]

In terms of guitar playing, Joe Bonamassa is carving out a sound that is quickly becoming noticed and familiar world wide among players, in his pick attack, note choice, phrasing, bends, ect. Only guys like Johnson, B.B King,Vaughan, Albert King and few others have done the same. John Mayer is directly channeling Hendrix/Vaughan when he plays his guitar.

In other words when Joe plays, you know it's Joe. When John plays, it could be a million people influenced by the musicians he listened to.

Stunning !

Thanks

[hungerstriker27]

that lick that beggins al 1:53 is AMAZING

[hungerstriker27]

check out a vid of gary moore with albert king (SRV´s master) playing stormy monday... gary starts to make the P Green LP howl, with a tone and killer licks... The way he shreds it´s unbeliavable... then albert (I think completely on purpose) after one particularly rough gary´s solo plays just a few notes, sowly, but with and impecable technique, precision and vibrato. Gary played 300 notes, albert 30... who won? all of us, that are able to enjoy such a beautiful music as the blues...

[hungerstriker27]

I´ve also my preferences. Joe is obviously amazing. Probably the best player alive in this moment. That doesn´t mean he is better than Clapton. Cause in terms of importance and influence, come on... yardbirds, bluesbreakers, cream, blind faith, derek and the dominoes, an inmense solist career... He was the reason Joe picked a guitar in the first place... bt the point is... SRV, clapton, joe, jimmi (Both hendrix and page), BB, buddy, gary, albert, freddie, all are different.just enjoy the music

[chromeheart65]

when your that good to be in these guys company ,it then just boils down to preference,for me SRV because he was so intense.,santana and peter green for feel,joe is probably the best at the moment ,but there are a hundred or so greats,it depends what style of music you like,some metalheads would say randy rhodes its all taste give it up comparing ,satriani and vai technically are unreal,its not everyones taste but you have to admire it all

[420420dankBOB]

Thanks Joe, can I get a few $. Im good for it..

[benderhambone]

First of all Eric Clapton is way better then Stevie. Now don't freak out. Stevie is one of my favorites but youre talkin about slowhand man. Second John Mayer is a great singer songwriter, and performer. Joe different level and music so youre comparing apples and oranges.

[680540]

haha...Eric Clapton in front of SRV.I mean Clapton is good too,but come on.

[mattrags21]

JOE BONAMASSA AND JOHN MAYER ARE HANDS DOWN IN THE TOP 4 BLUES GUITARISTS ALIVE...#1 ERIC CLAPTON, #2 BB KING, #3 JOE BONAMASSA, #4 JOHN MAYER! TOP 10 OF ALL-TIME...#1 CLAPTON, #2 SRV, #3 HENDRIX, #4 BB KING, #5 JOE BONAMASSA, #6 DUANE ALLMAN, #7 BUDDY GUY, #8 ALBERT KING, #9 JOHN MAYER, #10 ROBERT JOHNSON.

[MrFuckyouintheneck]

@mattrags21 Are you fucked up? John Mayer shouldn't even touch that list.

[mattrags21]

@MrFuckyouintheneck I am a HUGE Bonamassa fan and Blues fan...and If you have ever watched Mayer play the blues, he plays just about anything very well. Mayer considers himself a Blues guitarist and only plays POP music to make money and get girls...so the fact that he can do all of that extremely well makes me believe he should be on that list! Thats my opinion!

[pardoned]

@MrFuckyouintheneck You're a moron. JM's an excellent guitarist. You're either too naive, immature or are holding some stupid grudge against him for being a better guitarist than you to notice.

Go be moronic somewhere else.

[pardoned]

@mattrags21 I disagree. Robert Johnson should be much further up that list - since pretty much every guitarist that came after him was influenced by him, either directly or indirectly.

[bradstivers]

bonamassa couldnt do what mayer does, and mayer couldnt do what bonamassa does...nuff said

[MrFuckyouintheneck]

@bradstivers No blues player can do what any blues player does.

[musicizzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

There's nobody like him.

[darwenmel3]

I've seen JB a couple of times and leave every time wanting to sell al my equipment, lol. JM couldn't carry JB's pick. He's (JM) good but just listen. JB is the shit and I haven't heard anyone, not one person yet that got it as bad. 'Nuff said.

[windridergirl]

I've seen most of the greatest guitarists on the planet over the last 4 decades, but Bonamassa blows the rest of them off the stage - for sheer talent, technique, and FEELIN'!! He's really matured as a live musician in the last several years - not that he wasn't good before - and is a pleasure to see live, like no other artist. Have seen him a few times, and can't wait to see him again. Can't get enough!!

[SupernalOne]

Re the John Mayer v. Joe Bomamassa "debate", JM writes some very lovely tunes, and plays well to accompany himself -- he wants to be a hotshot lead guitarist, though he can't measure up to Joe -- but he's good in his own right. JB is very soulful & heartfelt, though I must admit that extended blues guitar solos don't captivate me like they used to - and he is not the very best, though he is consistently good -- choose your favorites & don't diss the rest (unless they're posers, or suck) :)

[GOKZERAH]

lol mayer can't even open for Big Joe B.

[cam5]

not only is his phrasing unbelievable but those are some THICK strings and beefy hands.

[fer20050906]

esta grabación suena como el culo pero Joe está realmente fantástico...como siempre!!!

[DomCurty]

Bashing other guitarists is just so stupid.. you don't like mayer? well neither do I! but as a guitar player myself i KNOW that guy can play, and I KNOW that he plays good. I just don't like it.. "got no real feel, no soul.. cry cry... so who are YOU to tell???" fucking idiots, every single last one of you saying such things!

and even tough I worship Bonamassa, he is definitly NOT the worlds new greatest guitarist... wake up! take a look around the corner.. and guess what.. THERE IS NO BEST

[axelnilson]

he bought that guitar on ebay :)

[babywithacrowbar]

If I was in the crowd, I woulda been one o the guys going "YEAAAAAAH!!!!". I just wouldn't be able to contain myself.

[bigligg67]

Mayer is the equivalent of today's Rick Springfield!  Joe operates on another plane

[bigligg67]

Mayer is a joke! Todays Rick Springfield if you will! Joe is on another planet

[bigligg67]

Mayer is a joke! Todays Rick Springfield if you will!

[FlexXOmaT]

BEST VERSION I'VE EVER HEARD!!

[bluesguitardude]

using a vintage es-355... He got taste for good guitars!!!

[hstearns123]

Bonamassa is the light at the end of the tunnel for the dark days of music we are in right now, all the new rock sounds the same and it doesn't sound good, rap is just talentless, useless, soulless, belongs in the sewer, ear rape. Joe is going to help bring REAL MUSIC back to life. SRV is looking down on the blues and is happy to see it being revitalized.

[RockYouVideos]

that bassist has an eye patch. arg!

[MuliSalami]

Its not about whos better, its about making music. im sure Joe doesn't give two shits about being better than John Mayer, he just wants to play his heart out....stop making the art and soul of music a competition.

[rgbrin]

John who????....dude can't even hold a candle to Joe....Mayer is all commercialism and JOE is the real deal....

[moseseseseses]

All around on every front within the complexity of comparing one music giant with another, this boy wins out on all fronts. He can not only play endless lethal licks of the most blissful blues that intoxicates the minds of all that are mesmerized with such esstacy, as they longfully listen to his every rambling run, but he has a vintage voice to squall out the blues in such a way that it sends the crowds into pandemonium paradise. JOE IS THE MAN FOLKS, THE BOSS OF THE BLUES.

[JeffKnight]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[rooster196981]

THE KING



[2quundar]

@rooster196981 I agree, & I add:a King using a lot of BB King licks. ( & Danny Gatton right hand technics)

[gbastow]

I wonder what happened to Carmine, with the eye-patch?

[BrewskieBee]

@gbastow Carmine had an eye-operation on march 3th. Joe talked about it in a show on march 4th.

[gbastow]

@BrewskieBee Ouch! Thanks for the info brother!

[saf90]

Awesome as usual :D :D :D Joe is God!!! Love the lick at 4:29!!!

[BrewskieBee]

@saf90 What lick ? at 4:29 he does nothing. I don't get it.

[brownbigb]

@BrewskieBee i think he means 4:39

[guitardeez]

way better then that mayer clown

[allencollinsexplorer]

mayers good, but he aint got no real feel for the blues, bonamassa is definitly the worlds new greatest guitarist

[pawelekhendrix]

@allencollinsexplorer Maybe your opinion is right, but think that Mayer also has fuckin` great feeling. Bonamassa is better technically, but Mayer is good to. And Mayer`s voice is better than Joe`s.

I like them both ;) They have different tones and I love their tones.

They have huge influence in my play. THANKS THEM ;)

[mudliar11]

@allencollinsexplorer Mayer is just as good...JB is definitely a better guitar player but JM is not bad at all in fact JB isn't as good at some things that Mayer is really good at...JB and JM are very different...Just don't diminish the skill of JM because he's great too :)

[epicalice]

@guitardeez not true. while Bonamassa is himself a blues/rock god, JM himself is seriously an all rounded musician, and an insane guitarist.

[minhdiszles]

@epicalice I agree completely. Yeah they both play the blues but musically, they have different styles. JM is more of a well rounded musician, crazy guitarist and songwriter. He goes out to different genres too. Joe was litterally born to play the blues. a real prodigy from the age of 4...

And I think it's funny how John Mayer's name is written all over this video's comments. i say respect for both musicians.

[mudliar11]

@guitardeez Mayer isn't a clown at all...JB and JM are two very different guitar players...don't bash JM he's the real deal when it comes to song writing and singing...He also is skilled in areas JB isn't...They are my two favorite guitar players today...

[camelloist]

Tiene muchisimo Arte! es un fenomeno! Saludos desde España!

[BigDDe]

Joe works a crowd like no other! Great footage Edderocks.

[JmAA7192]

Awesome video, thanks!

[ORYBoomer009]

Fantastic show Joe! Keep coming back to Portland...we love ya!
