Smokin' Joe Robinson Acoustic Medley featuring 'Borsalino'

[TheGuitardan100]

Te first tune, Jerry's Breakdown is played wasy too fast, just like alot of his videos. Guitar isn't all about speed! Clarity is key!!!

[doughboy777]

Oh boy is this ever good!!!!!

[lionlinhoho]

@Estevaocm1 The song is " Misty " . Sorry , my answer comes late .

[specializedconst]

The last song he played was "Misty" And after about a thousand guitarests made it there own. Joe comes along and stole the show. You are a sick man. No cure.

[specializedconst]

Your a sick man Joe. A very sick man.

Amazing.......I quit now.

[ClaudeandNoella]

NICELY DONE, ENJOYED IT ALLOT

[trevorandmitch2008]

there's not many people out there that can not only speed up the tempo put there own little twist on jerry's breakdown..mad props bro!

[TheZach43]

Some problems maintaining constant tempo on that Borsalino piece. Lots of pyrotechnics here - the guys got serious skill, but musically? hmmmm.

[pantera6]

@TheZach43 i noticed this isnt his best verison of boraslino, but still pretty great, hes got time still .

[TheZach43]

Not a bad rendition of the Tommy Emmanuel version of Borsalino. Have to say I like Chet's version better - gives the piece the sensitivity it warrants. The music is the theme from the 1970 French movie of the same name, composed by Claude Bolling, a renowned French jazz pianist and composer.

[HOMErnn1]

just great only one open b during borsalino missing

[VaiEqualsGod]

i hate you.

[THEZACK123]

why does every joe have to be "smokin'"?

[sk84life1983]

the secound one is awesome man :) made me have a huge grin my face!! all was amazing!!!

[ChavezRey]

Travis Pickin', made popular by Merle Travis, maybe started by Mose Rager, perfected by Chet Atkins and now kept fresh and alive by Smokin' Joe!

[the134a]

You my friend have been to the crossroad? NO, YES YOU HAVE!!!

[Geddz0]

What was the first song ??? please

[RensJ87]

@Geddz0 It's called 'Jerry's Breakdown' by Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.

[dirtyolbum96]

I thought I could play jerry's breakdown fast :(

[DenisVolga]

No problema, no dilema

[MrChrisSmook]

he hides a bass in his pocket.

[atkinsman]

Tommy Emmanuel said, in a recent interview that Smokin' Joe Robinson is much better on the guitar than he was at his age and he has a very bright future ahead of him.

[anze235]

@pommy1100 freak???? OMG WTF ......... it's just becaus that U just realized that U never gonna be so good like this boy.......( go fuc* yourself!!!!!)

[whateverb4u]

I can only figure that the three dislikes are the result of a sickening feeling they must have when they realize they will never be this good.

[Geogogeogo1]

I thought Rock Solos are best. But i was wrong...

[jillleebean]

This kid is incredible. ANyone to give this thumbs down is only wishing they were as good. Fantastic.

[Pan3405]

Wauwwwwww!!!!!! 

[Trityco]

Tommy has changed the world of guitarist!! Great Tommy you are the one!!!

And Great Joe you are very good so young...

[emr3413]

This kids has some serious skills. Incredible.

[dreadnought45]

The kid is awsome.

Ken, Toronto

[MrsNello90]

Thank you joe, i learned a lot with this video! :D

[vinnothelizard]

tommy emmanuel is second to this kid!! this guy is class!! pure class!! think about it!!

[golfwidow1979]

@vinnothelizard Please don't say this kid is better than Tommy Emmanuel you slack-jawed troglodyte. The kid is awesome but only someone who knows nothing about music would say something like that. Seriously dude, wake up to yourself.

[MikeTangoSA]

@golfwidow1979 you are such a chop, tommy has like 25 years on joe, just imagine how great he will be by the time he gets to tommy's age

[maddogwilson1]

@MikeTangoSA You think Tommy wasn't this good when he was 17? He was in a touring band when he was 6. I'm taking anything away from Joe trust me, he is awesome.

[sambambarino]

@golfwidow1979 he might be one day though. this is some serious talent.

[TheMeowRice]

@golfwidow1979

He'll end up being better

I mean this guys like 17 or something ridiculous.

[mattemuppen]

@vinnothelizard How stupid are you?

[sanman312]

@vinnothelizard I thought about it, you are still wrong. Horribly, horrible wrong.

[heartnhead]

I saw SJR last night at my local haunt the Brass Monkey! What a talent! Amazing local guitarist Stewie French was in the audience and I overheard him say and I quote, 'Well Joe, I didn't think you could get much better but you have'. He's still a teenager but if you're a music fan do yourself a favour and see him before he get's global!!! I have one more thing to say,

'Watch out John Mayor'

[Halliday7895]

@heartnhead john mayer is in a different category all together hahah hes so relevant here its not even funny, Mayer is a song writer with immense guitar chops....this kid joe is a guitar player....i have no idea about his song writing skills.....

[mrfreetv]

Kid you are some kinda player. Very impressive. You got a great career ahead of you.

[Mindlabytinth]

I watch this video.

Then I look and my guitar.

I feel like I've been using it as a sledgehammer for 3 years now.

[TheKillerToque]

@Mindlabytinth Very well put! I feel the same way. LMFAO

[009Chen]

Awesome!! Excellent!!;-)

[cromagnonify]

@Mattplays413 misty is the last song he plays

[spike4379]

[UtzChips2009]

[BETILYO]

AmAzing armonic taste, chord melody, and of course all the vistuosity!

[mrgezau]

[hendrix0is0lord]

[Schacky65]

[deliveryboy555]

Tommy Emmanuele disliked this three times

[grasshoppa41]

@deliveryboy555 quite the opposite actually!! Tommy loves Joe!!! Its about the music for Tommy not, oh shit this kid is a threat to me!!

[MrJackWrightable]

@deliveryboy555 thats kinda stupid....seein as tommy emmanuel discovered him and took him on tour

[deliveryboy555]

@MrJackWrightable It was a joke. Calm down.

[MrJackWrightable]

@deliveryboy555 great joke.....and am i not calm?

[deliveryboy555]

@MrJackWrightable No idea if you are calm or not. It is just a bit of fun, nothing serious.

[MrJackWrightable]

@deliveryboy555 its all good mate im not havin a dig at ya

[ReaLLynK]

@deliveryboy555 why 35 idiots like that cmt?? what the hell make TE dislike any song or anyone??

[DenisVolga]

@deliveryboy555

Excuse me, how do you know?

[6stringwood]

I was in the market for a vintage jazz guitar and came across Joe...What the heck? What an amazing young guitarist. He is as smooth as Chet Adkins. I am so blown away by his remarkable talent, that I watched every one of his videos. Joe looks like he is around 16 years old yet plays like a master. Thanks for sharing this young mans outstanding guitar playing on youtube.

[donkbert]

What a fantastic player. So nice.

[salchiwebo]

this guy is great

[szyskus]

Thanks to Joe Robinson i can suicide:(

[alen896]

@szyskus fuck yeah

[bertyboy21]

the second song is called borsalino, anyone know the name of the last song??

[seraphlgabri]

could anyone tell me the name of the second song? thanks.

[bertyboy21]

@seraphlgabri borsalino

[seraphlgabri]

@bertyboy21

hey thanks pal.

[1Greenga]

My goodness young man that is outstanding playing!

[Muso57]

My goodness, such amazing control and evenness of tone ... and what a long 4th finger Joe has!!

[xXcRENzXx]

i love the rendition of Misty :)

[Musicislove123]

All the stuff he plays sounds like Tommy Emmanuel. Let's hear Joe Robinson Joe! I love his playing but man he sounds JUST like Tommy, I'd like to hear him kind of branch out a bit if possible.

[noelmeehan]

@Musicislove123 You can even hear that Tommy has a lot of Chet Atkins influence... that's a wonderful thing.You are wrong with the fact it sounds the same.He puts a lot of his own licks, as you can hear in the Blue Moon cover. He got a lot of Tommy's influence for sure as thousands of young guitarists, but is far to say that sounds exactly like him..even Classical Gas sounds a lot different from Tommy's cover. Damn, can you find a better way to play those tunes being respectful of the orginals?

[Musicislove123]

@noelmeehan Well let's look at it this way. Tommy has influenced thousands of artists. As has Chet Atkins, but the thing is that guys like Doyle Dykes, you can tell it's Doyle, but you can also hear some of Chet's influence in there. I love Joe's music but I honestly have a hard time telling him apart from Tommy. If I listen with my eyes closed I really hear no difference. There's nothing wrong with having influences. I just would like to hear "Joe" and not "Tommy"

[bertyboy21]

@Musicislove123 hes still very young though and has years to find his style

[BOOMCHICK75]

Could it be that Tommy Emmanuel has been som kind of idol for this young fellow... :)

[MrLintRoller]

I love all those old 50s jams he does ahha he plays spongebob haha!

[Han414]

@Kwadegeest

Well i do think joe is amazing even without knowing his age

but then i compare music only..

tommy has real deep emotions.. ;D

[Jamesteng1]

anyone has the song list for what he just played?

[minzling]

This Men is very very very phantastic!!!!!!! Great Great !

[ashhanderson]

HOLY CRAP. You are amazing! WOW.

[chorister51]

This guy is the best guitarist ever. Amazing.

[Han414]

@chorister51

hes amazingly good

but hes below Tommy >:O

[Jamesteng1]

@Han414 i would've said the same.

[mikkiebtjonk]

@chorister51 you know nothing about guitar players haha, cmon if you think that this is the best guitar player XD 

[MatticusFinch1820]

This guy dont play no Guitar Hero. lol.

[JamesRGooch]

I don't think my guitar has those chords!!

[philabrian]

Thank God there is new breed( generation) in line with great guitarist like Chet Atkins, and Tommy Emmanuel, and guys before them.. it's not a loosing art after all. Great Joe...

[bobdigio1963]

Holy shit! I've never seen someone play a walking bass at the same time as the chords and melodies on a guitar - acoustic no less.

[zoomwaffle579]

the first part is a faster version of antoine darfours four handed guitar

[soadfan997]

@zoomwaffle579 Antoine Darfours 4 handed guitar is Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins Jerry's breakdown.

[RaptorJMR]

@zoomwaffle579 derp. its called Jerry's breakdown, by Jerry Reed. and sometimes with Chet Atkins.

[thegertkenator]

holy crap this kid kicks ass!

[MrPinkZeppelin]

what's the last song called?

[MidnightSnackable]

@MrPinkZeppelin Its called Misty

[Han414]

alittle of beat on the first song ;o

[RoseTaxService]

Protege or Prodigy? Tommy, Chet or Joe?

[emixolydian]

What song is at 1:06? It's beautiful

[iatethesmiths]

@emixolydian At 1:06 he's playing Borsalino by tommy emmanuel/chet atkins

[Roadworthy]

KILLER



[emj0001]

The last piece was the most impressive to me. Not that it wasn't all incredible =)...but I think it would do Joe justice to slow down Jerry's Breakdown just a touch..

[bluegrasssingingman]

Whats rare about that Collings? That it stays in tune.

[bluegrasssingingman]

You really like that copy of a Martin D-28 V. I bet it list for around about $6.000 for it. Thats $2.000 more then the real thing.

[adihaz2]

lol just try this chord at 4:05 its immposible

[louzarv1]

how does he.........................

[jamman1103]

good playing but youve got to slow jerry's breakdown down some it was so fast it was almost unclear

[sandslash123]

1) things that everyone can play

2) intermediate things

3) pro megahard things

4) 2:28

[thelifeuwant]

this kid deserved to win all the way!

I wish him the very best life has to offer...

and I wish the best for us all too ;)

[schwenman]

incredible playing!

[BrokenWingman]

The song at 2:49 reminds me of Jody Fisher. (You can search for him on Youtube)

[hendrixkixas]

Can someone give me a list of the songs?

[hendrixkixas]

Can someone give me a list of the songs?

[cosmogang]

I want to see him and Tommy Emmanuel do a duet. That would be an absolute dream.

[juuttuuppi]

@cosmogang Just watch YouTube video: "Tommy Emmanuel and Joe Robinson Classical Gas"

[darkblade2271]

He should challenge buckethead.

[bluegrasssingingman]

your full of shit and you must be smoking crack

[Han414]

@bluegrasssingingman

martin doesnt come close to half of colling

[Han414]

@bluegrasssingingman

Martin D35 doesnt even sound good enough to compare with a 800 stanford guitar

go search martin D35 vs Stanford ...

Martin is dead for so long...even tayler is better than

[Han414]

@bluegrasssingingman

dude..ur just being a kid now...Pre war martin was the legend..and all those makers are probably dead now..

and whoever left started their own company..

the martins now dont worth more than 2k in terms of sound ;p

the quality of the current martins are like Takamine

[bluegrasssingingman]

@Han414 Martin is the longest running guitar company in history. Still owned by the same family. Still all hand made. All companies still copy there models.As far as todays Martins their still top notch still made the same, as they was in the first years. and made the same way. LOL Taylor is trash. You maybe a good guitar player, for what kind of music you play,but your dumb as a rock.

[Han414]

@bluegrasssingingman

Lol

keep playing ur martin then... just know even taylor is better than martin once you open your mind to accept the fact ;o

[wgtroutman34]

@bluegrasssingingman

The only thing Martin EVER did that was credible was inventing the dreadnought. that's it. and if Martin is so untouchably legendary, why are they (and Gibson) CLEARLY copying off of Taylor with their "Performing Artist" series? And as for as Copying goes, what about the "Grand Performer?" sounds (and looks) a lot like Taylor's ORIGINAL Grand Auditorium. Yes, The table is turned, and Martin is the one doing the copying now. Copying off TRASH. does that make Martin? worse?

[bluegrasssingingman]

@wgtroutman34 Martins had signature series for years. The owners of Taylor use to work for Martin, and believe me Martin and Gibson arn't copying Taylor. Collings do copy Martin. More famous people play Martin. Martin is the #1 selling guitar. Martin has been a company since 1833. You can't say that about Collings, Gibson, and Taylor, or any other guitar company. I never said Collings didn't sound good, but they have a long way to go. They can copy Martin all they like . So keep dreaming

[bluegrasssingingman]

@Han414 LOL

[bluegrasssingingman]

@Han414 whip the jelly off your lips.

[stauggion]

if you happen to release a cd or two... i'd buy em all!

[richi6006]

what is the second song? 0:42

[tomt1291]

@richi6006 borsalino

[snookseaglin]

about the only way I could extract that much energy out of my own guitar would be to throw the darn thing in a campfire and listen in bliss as all the strings pop off......thats some good playin in this video for sure....I need to find a campfire......

[mrlukemichal]

OMG u are insane !!!!!!! i wish i could meet you its just amazing wat u can do i live in mandurah which is 1 hour from perth come visit mandurah... perform some where but get me in for free your gigs would be soo expensive to watch every body should be atleast be paying 120 dollars a ticket.. your great mate im your biggest fan bless ya

[mrlukemichal]

HAHAHAHA your insane mate love it

[cammalcolm]

Father, Son & Holy spirit = Jerry Reed, Tommy Emmanuel & Chet Atkins

[telestratman65]

What an amazing guitarist !

[198tele]

Just awesome. Think I'll have a bonfire and burn my gear.

[7EyeMongoose]

how the hell?!?

[LennyHardy]

the first video is quicker than me!!!

great

[hereicome11]

Every town has guys that can play any old rock and blues covers and do it quite well. Greatness is when you have someone who can play what very few people in the world have mastered. This kid has everything plus he's doing a lot of open string licks over his playing which many good guitarist are just now figuring out. Very impressive!!
