Joel Hoekstra is the perfect example of an high talented guy who knows, that talent is not enough! 20% of inspiration, 80 % of transpiration.

Joel Hoekstra is a very nice person and a great musician. I really epriciate him.

It’s about time this man obtained some more face to face interviews. Thank you all for this. God Bless you Joel Hoekstra.

Joel Hoekstra is a versatile musician who can blend in with the background or steal the show in the spotlight.

Joel Hoekstra is an awasome musician, me and my wife have seen him twice with WhiteSnake in San Antonio Texas, he has even taken the time to respond to our facebook comments after both shows....Great guitar hero...

I’ve only really stumbled on to Joel recently and he just seems like an ego-less, kind, straight up, passionate musician. I love hearing him play, what a classy guy.

What a class act. I enjoy just watching him because of his happy personality. He seems to always be smiling. Plus he is just an amazing artist.

Amazing interview, magnificent person, phenomenal musician! ♥️

Joel is one hard-working dude

Love Joel Hoekstra!

Fantastic interview, great insight and questions from Dom...Joel rocks...very humble and cool dude...

His instrumental solo albums are great!

A total Professionalism interview, And genuinely Class Act

One of the coolest guitar players on the planet ! ...

The man is a class act

Such a regular guy. What a great interview.

As get older the more I learn how little I know which leads to learning more so I know less. Love this guy and other eternal students of learning

Marvellous Joel Hoekstra!💝 Absolutely gorgeous!

EXCELLENT MUSICIAN AND PERFORMER

All his material is stellar... LOVED him in Night Ranger

JOEL is not just a good guitarist, he has many values ​​as a person, I admire him.never stop, god bless you friend.

I can’t say enough good things about Joel. He is very humble, wise, and a monster player. Very well deserved success!

Love all that you do Joel!

Thank you sir for your music . You are my beloved artist .

Another great interview. Be great to hear from Vinnie Moore, Tony McAlpine.

Primo info here. Gotta say I was unaware of the name Joel Hoekstra before this. Not any more. "Life is not a talent contest" ~ Love it! What you see in so many of these Sessions' interviews is the many paths these artists took in their quest to keep playing their instrument, to someday make a living out of it. The road to success heads in a hundred different directions. Sooner or later we discover what it is. His advice: be hard-working, responsible, accepting ... makes sense no matter what you do. Great stuff!

Great interview Dom! Love all of these videos!

One of the best interviews I have ever seen. Very cool, honest, genuine. Thank you Joel!

Very inspirational!!!

Class act,unbelievable amazing musician

Great Guitarist. playing Awesome. Inspirational.

What a wonderful interview - way to go Joel!

I love Joel ..such talent

Glad I watched this...I had no idea about this guy. Now I must say I'm a fan of his.

Love this channel! Thank you

Well, it's time to practice/play a bit more today; thank you for such a great interview, Joel's insights are so valid.

Awesome interview, Joel is a true guitar hero! Put in the hours!

An AMAZING guitarist!

Such an amazing interview. I can't believe I only just stumbled onto this now. Joel is the real deal. Amazing talent and all around nice guy. Took a couple of lessons with him and he couldn't be more down to earth and easy going. Would love to meet him in person some day.

Joel is an old soul.He's such a great rocker,unlike most of HIS generation.He shoulda been part of the previous generation/s,he just wasn't born yet!!He sure plays like he was around back then!

What a awesome guitarist and such a interesting person.

❤️🙏🏻👍🏻🎶

Joel Hoekstra,is Wonderful 😍

Great series.

Awesome interview.

Your a great rock legend

Wow saw this guy at a drum clinic. Fantastic drummer. Wish I could remember how to do his finger workout.

I was at that Love Janis show in NYC. Had to be in 03'. The band was great! Now to find out it was Joel playing is funny. They were loud as hell and ripping heads off lol.

One of the best interviewers and interviews I have seen. Joel is ridiculously talented...his chops, versatility and demeanor is just breaking the surface of why he has been so successful. Did I mention that he had chops? Not to be forgotten, Dom Famularo is a gifted host where he is enthusiastic, asks great questions and never trips over his words. He engages with each artist interview with such passion that it leaps off the screen...I am forever a subscriber to The Sessions Panel

Great interview Joel is a good guitar player 🎸

Joel is the definition of "Professional"

And the guy interviewing is an awesome drum teacher!

Your awesome forever 🎸🤘❤💯🐍😎😍

I really like Joel super guy. The guy doing the interview is incredibly awesome as well . Great questions and super good attitude.

In case anyone is curious the female singer in Chicago he is referring to is Cathy Richardson who you might now as the current singer for Jefferson Starship. I knew guitar player who played with her before him... life is strange that way

❤💛💜💚💙💟

Tabs were invented to show what Eddy Van Halen was playing because he was doing things that were never thought of before. Potting pickups, dipping pickups in wax to keep them from squealing. He was the first to have Gibson style pickups on a Strat (Super Strats). He was the first to have graphics on a guitar. He took finger tapping and made it mainstream. Of course Steve Lynch (Savoy Brown, Autograph) was doing it as well.

Great guitarist but also seems super pleasant and really articulate.

Joel will be doing two upcoming live Zoom Masterclasses 08/17 and 08/18 at the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. It looks so cool! www.rockcamp.com/masterclass.php

He should interview Jake E. Lee and why his badlands CD are banned.

The young today do NOT have an advantage as the host said;All things music were better pre internet.Not too many musicians have the skillset(versatility)or ridiculous work ethic JH does.

Its a great Interview i just stumbled over now! But somehow it looks to me as to be a more typical American thing, because i heard his way of doing it from several other american musicians meanhile, to be involved in such many projects and to be subbing out consequently. Here in Germany unfortunately its more like: oh, you are involved in other projects? You need to sub out from time to time? You still do Studio work? and so on and on.............................. we don't want to work with you (!) because you are not able to offer us 100% of your time. If you want to work with us you cannot still work for someone else etc. We can not rely on you...................... (this goes down to even the smallest Pub-Coverbands). This makes it consequently even more hard in Germany to make a living out of music because you NEED that 1 thing (maybe 2 if at all) to provide your living. I always hated that mentality.
