Doug and Pat Show: How Do You Get That Tone 2 W/Joe Bonamassa

Рет қаралды 346,185

5 жыл бұрын

Doug and Pat dig a little deeper in what makes great tone with the help of Joe Bonamassa who kindly stopped by to chat and play. The first show took apart the elements of the instrument, amp, player and details of each. This time we go further into PAF tone, playing techniques and tips from Joe. As always, a video packed with insight, snappy patter, surprises and no ads. You're welcome.

Here he is again, that ol' good-for-nothin' Joe Bonamassa taking the time out of his day to share his knowledge and wisdom. One of the most maligned guitarists in the business, and one of, if not the most generous musicians I've ever seen. I've learned so much from the guy from his instruction, and been inspired by his incredible playing. From one nutcase recluse nerd to another...thank you, sir.

I remember seeing Joe as a chubby 12 yr old on 60 mins or some show like that, the day it was aired. I recorded it on VHS. As the yrs went by one of my best friends in high school, Andy Hall, who plays w the Stringdusters now and is arguably the best dobro player on earth, watched the video w me. Like me, he was blown away too. Andy and I jammed a bunch over the yrs, but I remember his first week at Berklee and saying that Joe B was in his class and way an asshole. Then Andy and I lost touch for about a decade. I moved to NYC doing session work and he moved to Nashville. Then we caught up at one of his shows and he told me how cool Joe ended up being. Spoke nothing but praise. I said, "what happened, thought you hated the guy haha?" I think I was just a young jealous kid," Andy said. *Mind you, Andy was a fucking shredding demon and could play any style. He learned cliffs of Dover by ear in a matter of a few hrs -- he had nothing to be jealous of in terms of talent comparison. My story doesn't really have any substance, just that my friend said Joe was one of the nicest guys he knew in the biz and it was not an act. Joe genuinly loves teaching and spreading his knowledge, as you said. I just thought I'd back up your point w the opinion of a Grammy award winning dobro God. 😉

My only citique of Joe is that he more or less turned his back on his hometown and the people who helped him find his tone and gear. The stories I could tell... If you know Utica, you'd think I was Joey Diaz talking about Joe's old man and his old producer.

I'm a huge Joe Bonamassa fan, and now I'm a new fan of this channel! Loved everything about this "interview"/discussion. I was there at the Ryman show in Nashville when Jack Pearson showed up with a Squire and came out and played a few at the end of Joe's set. You know that stupid, happy grin we all get when Joe rips out one of his impromptu masterpieces? Well, Joe had that same look on his face when Jack Pearson came out and played! We all did. One of the best shows I've had the privilege of seeing at the "Church" in downtown Nashville. Jack did this weird "rolling note sustain" trick that floored me. I'll never forget it. I still don't know how he did it...

The first thing that pops into my mind when I hear Joe is home, Joe is from the same neck of the woods in upstate NY. The last time I was home I ran out of time and did get over to see his dad's store, maybe next time. In fact, I never even made it to Big Apple Music. I'm always waiting for Joe to say this is how I do it. I have a few guitars, and amp and a volume pedal, simple and sweet. Life's journey has taken me to some wonderful places. Unlike Joe, I don't have 10,000 hours. I'm glad you made this video and I love to hear Joe talk about tone. However, I'll stick with my 10`s on the Les Paul. Your show is very inspirational and look forward to more great episodes.

Nice that he took the time to appear on your show. What's sort of unique about Joe is that for all of his expensive gear, he is no gear snob. He definitely doesn't come across like one. He just happens to have access to the older guitars -- and the fact that he plays them instead of just hanging them up on some wall or locked up in some vault is very cool.
