"i'll just knock on your door 'hey, we're playing down the street'"

dont joke with my dreams man

[ChristianBurrell]

Damn Rebecca turned butch. ;)

The main tone you are hearing is the Jubilee. I have a 1987 Jubilee I picked up this year for $1500. Yes the other amps he supplements his tone with are a bit more spendy but he could do a whole show with just the Jubilee and sound the same. When you have a ton of amps and the means you would be tempted to figure out a way to bring a few of them out on the road. Clapton is a legend and has been through every phase you can go through. There's no reason to compare him to Clapton or anyone else.

[ScotlandTillIDie]

who would have know you can get a '59 les paul on finance...

[JamieMoggridge]

Every solo has a wah on it? I smell Kirk Hammet....

[scottishguitarguy]

@StrangeDudeManThing Sorry but NOT expensive? That's four boutique amp heads right there in the one rig..

[bchant19]

is this Gregor Hilden old 1959 les paul from this video?

they look very simular

[hungerstriker27]

@bchant19

no.... it is the skinner burst that used to belong to some usa collector

[jake12345678997]

any one keen to tab this one out?

[SDPickups]

Love the '59, but man he has a very complex rig, multiple amps, big pedal board, Clapton did it with just a guitar, a guitar cord and an amp, you can't get better than that ;-)

[chooseyourblues]

@SDPickups

Totally agree man, give me Clapton's Les Paul Tone over Joe's $25000.00 amp and effect setup any day.

[szymonczesci]

@SDPickups

Actually Joe doesn't need a very complex rig to sound like Mr. Eric Clapton. Check it out - /watch?v=QrS-9fCYbVk

[hungerstriker27]

@SDPickups

ok, im a huge fan of the divinity of eric... but i have to say that´s unfair. in general, that´s not a huge rig. and eric used a wah pedal in cream for a large list of tracks.

[terryhaas1]

He's great ... JB and Kenny Wayne Shepherd are my idols. The sound he gets from this axe, or ANY of his guitars, is awesome.

[mistersnaredrum]

that is the thickest sound i've ever heard. AWESOME

[gingerpaule]

What a guitar, and it's fantastic that Joe's gigging it rather that just using it in a studio. Superb!

[Stratocasterfreak]

Superb Lespaul Sounds Incredible,I wish I Can Afford One Like That Before I Past Away,Joe Look's like a regular guy but he Plays Guitar Man Oh Man....

[terrag51]

I think that all of the great guitar players of the past have influenced Joe. People like Clapton,Page Beck, Hendricks, Vaughn, King, Gatton name one.. My buddy and I are always saying he's doing a Beck lick, or Danny Gatton run. Lets face it. Joe just fn plays so incredible he's Sick.

[millstap]

@terrag51 You have to be able to spell HENDRIX.

[johnhorneguitar]

Oh man, THAT TONE!

[CyberFerryt]

Magic tones from that guitar...It is so great to see someone who works this hard and is as passionate about guitar owning and _playing_ this...

[PeteTelecasters]

Fantastic! So cool to see JB gigging such a rare and expensive guitar.If anyone deserves to own one of these then Joe does.

[odgeUK]

Anyone else think that Joe sounds like Frank Oz?

[raconei]

He clearly deserves it :)

[zledhalen]

He's got clapton's beano/cream tone with that guitar. DAMN.

[matreames]

i wonder how much he paid for the 59?

[nickpoker]

I heard aaaaa looooooooot of Jimmy Page in this video.

[Openwheel9]

I get to see him for the first time on the 16th. I am so ready for that performance. The best young blues gun since Clapton. He's on my short list of people I want to meet some day.

[TheLespauladdict]

SWEET JESUS THAT '59 is BEAUTIFUL!!!

[sebasdive]

is that an original 59?

[MistahhB]

@sebasdive

He just said it was

[RyRobCon]

Fantastic player + Fantastic guitar = Fantastic tone.

[skyguitar321]
