So tired of hearing Joe say he isn't a slide player. He is great I love to hear it. Joe is a force! ❤

You are so modest that it's contagious. Even if you play 1 note the way you dig in to get the "Tone" is the real talent, you make it sound the way it would sound on a 50s/60s/70s etc recording. Experimenting with Electric Guitars should be mandatory in Music classes...after all that's what brought them to life in the first place.More vids please!

I first saw Joe while he was still in high school. He played someplace in Greenwich Village, and I think his father drove him down from upstate New York. A friend of mine also from upstate got us to go, to I think The Bitter End. Joe was a young phenom then. And, he has just gotten better. I have not spoke to him since, but he was genuinely nice, as was his father. We had a short but nice conversation about some Blues. I have seen Joe play since. He still seems nice, and he can pretty much play what he wants. Thanks for this video.

There's Duane Allman then there's everyone else..... I'm old enough to have seen him play three times before he passed.....sure miss those boys Lowell George was pretty good and so was Ry Cooder.....hold the slide over the fret for the best intonation

Joe you are the greatest most humble guitar player I know. That telecaster in the background is beautiful. Miley Cyrus on MTV Unplugged singing Lou Reed’s Sweet Jane, she has eyelid makeup with green, black, gold, and silver metal flake. I wish some custom shop could paint a tele that exact same color of metal flake. 👍🎸😎✌️

Says he can't really play slide and then throws down some very mean perfect slide playing. Plus the sound is just killer.

Man I was surprised when I saw this video. But it's cool how humble he is

Best slide playing I’ve heard in a while!

Very useful info. I just recently got into playing around with a slide and I'm new to playing in open E tuning. So definitely was helpful to be able to see how the placement of the slide differs from playing in standard tuning.

Thx for that!

AMAZING!!! 👏👏👏👏

Thank you

Mr. Duane Allman made people want to play Slide Guitar, He Was The Best, Next to Jessie Ed Davis, That made Duane want to play slide, From the first Taj Mahal album , That Gregg left on his front porch, with a Bottle of Coricidin , Medicine due to his falling off a Horse while riding, Due to Gregg;s Idea For the day, It is A Strange way how things happen, The Rest is History, May He & Jessie, R.I.P. Cousin Figel

Lets all call Joe the Slide Guru.

I think with his ear for tone and his knowledge of the fretboard, if he dedicated one guitar to playing slide, pulled the frets and put on flat wound strings a whole new universe would open up for him.

George Harrison mostly played in standard tuning. Very melodic

Foghat Rod Price was damm good to !

i really like your music and always look forward to your youtube postings , how do you getaway with playing reasonably loud in a new york apartment?.

👍👍👍❤🎸

Gr8! Listen to Ry Ccoder too & of course the original blues artists who created this incredible genre of guitar playing ❤🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉

Wow

"I don't like slide" Tears it up like nothing

Dont forget the OGs too, Son House, Hound Dog Taylor, etc.

"And it is fun". Its also necessary when you break your fret-hand's ring finger playing Snap with competitive teenagers. It'll be slide for me for awhile...kinda lucky that it was my ring finger actually.

Great vid. Forgiven for leaving Rory off that list.

🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was OK for a beginner 🙂 🙂

A very full and swampy sound. I'm hearing Cooder and Lowell most of all.

Thanks Joe. Regarding intonation. What frequency do you use on the A string. My limited understanding is there are a couple of schools of thot. 'Concert' vs ???

Here's a great performance of Joe playing slide from soulful to rock. Reminiscent of Ry Cooder "Feelin' Bad Blues" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsyGeqajtsrbYGw.html

Pedal steel and lap steel guitars have one pickup. Single pickup guitars are best for slide IMHO What about Joe Walsh and George Harrison? Let’s not forget Johnny Winter.

Doesn't look like you're muting with your ring finger. But it sounds just fine!

Would you comment about set up of the guitar for slide? Slightly higher string height?

Great playing but I gotta wonder do you think he ever gets noise complaints from the neighbors?

Best tip ever: play slide in front of a mirror and don’t forget to work on your ‘soulful slide guitar face’!!!

Rod Price.

I stopped this video to see if a fire engine or cop was coming down my street. I use a brass slide on my little finger so I can use my other 3 fingers for lead.

No more Joe!

LMAO , well . . . think you are under estimating your skills Bluesman . .

Can’t play slide…..yeah ok
