Joe Bonamassa - 5+1 Licks You Must Know! + JB Signature Pick!

[cmgill2]

Oh yeah forgot to say some people might find the Jim dunlop max grip jazz 111 easier to use, very similar pick and it really sticks to your fingers,,,,,

[cmgill2]

Great video bro, I just stubled across the jazz 111 picks by accident a while ago after useing herco's for years, I would say the pick really facilitates this style of playing as it glides very easily between the up and down strokes, I found it takes a bit of getting used to for strumming though as it has no 'give' as flexible picks do.

[ZoSo1620]

Misiu, great job!

Mama

[JkAllAlone]

Hmm... I've been playing longer than this kid is old... the day I'll take lessons from a 13 year old... well... that would be today actually :)

Nice job...

[watersharer]

[michalrechberger]

youre awesome! :D

[cLay1414]

you did a great job on this! how about the tabs?

[ZoSo1620]

@cLay1414 what program can I use?

[cLay1414]

@ZoSo1620 well, how about Guitar Pro or something...?

[raulsangonzalo]

These licks are really nice (and easy to learn), and them have the essence of Bonamassa!! By the way, my congrats for your nice technique and taste in music with that age! Keep on rockin'

[TheFeelink9]

You are amazing!!!!

[skyguitar321]

Hey man. I'm also a guitar player, and I'm 13. I have a question tough. As I was playing along i felt as if my pick was holding me back. I felt as if my fingers would not need as much practice as my picking would. I also noticed that you were playing with jazz III, the one's Joe uses. Do you think the pick helps you somehow?. As I said, I have no problem playing the fast licks from laundromat, (rory gallagher) but these seem a little more difficult. Apart from that, thanks for the great lesson.

[ZoSo1620]

@skyguitar321 I felt the same way. The pick is honestly personal preference, and it's not why you're having trouble. It's most likely because the irregular picking pattern (up or down strokes) are really different from everything else you've probably been playing. I suggest starting the lick with an upstroke or downstroke, and only focus on doing alternate picking (up, down, up, down). From then, you can figure out if starting from an upstroke is better, or with a down stroke.

[ZoSo1620]

@skyguitar321 Remember, Joe Bonamassa uses ALTERNATE PICKING for these licks. I have a VERY good alternate picking excersice, and I could post a tutorial if you like.

[skyguitar321]

@ZoSo1620 Yes I'm aware Joe, like all guitar players uses alternate picking. I am considering changing to Jazz III, and I wanted to know if it really makes a difference. As far as the tutorial, I would be very thankful if you could please post it, when you have time. thanks.

[blueszfan]

yes very nice young fellow , keep going in your future years .

[ElevenBravo]

These are some great licks. Thanks for posting this vid. btw - I saw a request for tabs, so I'm tabbing out each of these licks and will post a link to them shortly.

[ZoSo1620]

@ElevenBravo WOW, That would be great, i don't have the proper program to tab licks, so that would be greatly appreciated!

[justintime1469]

[dumontier1]

really nice to see you playing... It shows you got the feel, see you in concert one of these days,were from montreal

[dumontier1]

cool keep it up "you going places"  picked the pick in Ottawa you from there?

[ZoSo1620]

@dumontier1 yup

[CMPCKELLY]

@ZoSo1620 whats the best way to practice #6 in terms of speed?

[ZoSo1620]

@CMPCKELLY Start out slow and increase in speed. If you are having trouble with a certain part, play an even smaller phrase of the lick over and over, then put it all together. If you play it over over, you should get faster and faster. Also, Play the lick over and over until you feel like you've played it to much, because sometimes if you play a lick over and over, you start to lose it, in my opinion. So once you are at that stage, don't play the lick until the next day. Repeat.

[outhousedude]

Nice lesson. BTW I caught exactly the same pick, when he was playing in my town. And It was on my birthday actually. :)

[mooseknuckler]

Nice work kid, keep it up! Nice PRS too :)

[Splentaur]

Joe sent me here too, but I'm not sure why.  Good playing for such a young kid, but I think Joe played this well after about 6 months. Don't want to feed his ego though.

[missmoke007]

Wow thanks for this!!~I'm a novice player and I was inspired by your playing~I'm also a teacher and you did a very good job showing the licks!! I loved the pre-bend!.

[CharveI]

Any video that is liked by JB has to be worth checking out. Nice playing bro.

[dginush]

[BluesMannus]

[pilotSSW]

I'm playing through a Jubilee (that was funny:), Don't worry dude, you sound great ;) Keep up the good playing and don't let anyone stop you either, your going to destroy someday! ~ Sean

[ZoSo1620]

@pilotSSW Thank you so much I appreciate it!

[nvrbeab]

Perfect! Please keep making all ur lessons just like this one. I hate sitting thru a 15 min lesson for a 3 sec lick! I may as well figure it out myself then. Thnx for saving me time and sparing me the aggravation:)

[gian20072007]

Boy you're so young and soooo good!!! I mean, if you're this good now in a few years Bonamassa himself will ask you to play in your records!

Keep up the good work!

P.S.

Can you tab the +1 lick? the Eric Johnson/Bonamassa kinda thing I mean

[ZoSo1620]

@gian20072007 Thank you so much! It Means ALOT!

I can definitely tab the lick, but do you know any program i can use?

[ZoSo1620]

@gian20072007 Well actually i could use guitar pro, what is your email? I will do it but im busy with School and stuff, but it will be done

[gian20072007]
