same here

Well said Mr Blow!

He def seems like a cool cat ! Very sincere.

truemansparks -huge is all about management. But only soulfulness can play like this.

He is fckin amazing and def doesn’t get the credit he deserves

He is huge !

it’s not even close with he and Joe b. Matt is 10x the player Joe is. Joes great but he and Derek T. will both go down as two of the greatest ever.

It's about marketing. Bonamassa has it, most others don't! Takes years to build...

He has a vaste musical vocabulary. So interesting to listen to. Kinda like Robben Ford ...

Just started listening to " into the sun "

Agtronic Literally came here to tell the inevitable "He sounds like SRV" people that he sounded like Ford.

Shaun Gangel Listening to this again, he has tone and touch like SRV, musical vocabulary and creativity like Ford... in my opinion of course!

And the fire of Rory Gallagher.

Riley Rainbow He def got laid that night

Besides the obvious tone that is "in his fingers"...it doesn't hurt to have the kind of gear he has...not to mention the tech who fine tunes that gear to within a milliamp of it's optimum potential. But, yes...what an amazing, soulful, creative player he is...damn.

It's not a fender it's an slv. Really capture the old strat sound

Haha, I didn't get that? :P

Obviously a white guy who cant say it right.lol

idhott2003 Bonamassa played the same festival in 06. He was unknown at the time. Same with Kenny Wayne.

Илья Каллио He’s a painter. His Canvas is a chord progression. His paint brush is that strat ! That 2 Rock is his Paint palette! Thanks for listening.

porkbelly0713 and Robben Ford

@@nickbouvy6524 So true, I do love me some RF

very 1990s Stevie ray as well.

But a black face fender amp helps... :D

Michael Martin LOL, just reread this comment months later and laughed out loud. "... through a miced pignose" hahahaha gold!

Agtronic No blackface. It's his signature 50w Two Rock, right behind him to the left on the video.

Went to a clinic/show he did last year. It was funny at one point when he demonstrated how bad you can sound with his gear and then turned around and made That Tone.

horacio hendrix oh he. Has had a few

Jim Tall Two rock amps...i guess 5 racks on an amp should give you some good tone

Mark Melvin definitely

+Mark Melvin Definitely up there but that is a massive statement!

+Mark Melvin Hes is amazing right! Definitely One of the best..

+Mark Melvin best is SRV

I think he's awesome but Stevie Ray?

Done!

Tim Stevens hard to argue

Alan Darby

Philip sayce

Josh smith

Robber Ford josh smith are up there

"The Day You Left". Off of his "Far as I Can See" album.

Yes. Hagerstown. circa2016

he has used a lot of different pedals. the twimble simble and royal blue od, and a lot more. he uses the supreme as his only now. pretty shure its altso the royal blue circuit.

El random Mc Typo I'm sorry, cheesy cues? Please elaborate, maybe you have some more blunt cues with your band that you travel with internationally.

Who doesn't like a little brie?

Not only is that one of the stranger comments I've ever seen about guitar playing, in that playing finger-style is skill unto itself that presents a whole new set of challenges to the player- it is also bizarrely placed. Schofield has a hybrid picking technique. He often uses his fingers while palming his pick, but he plays with a pick as you can see at 4:43. Hard to imagine that players like Wes Montgomery, Mark Knopfler, and Jeff Beck (to name a few) could be called slackers merely because they don't use a pick... Go give it a try.

My opinion was my own, but is shared by many other guitarists and musicians I know. I wasn't aware that anyone could have been so easily and hysterically triggered by it. I should have added I don't have anything against hybrid pickers. They play with a pick, mostly. Or Wes. I saw, heard and met him in 1967 in Pittsburgh at the Jazz Workshop at the Hilton. George Benson said the reason his thumb technique was so hard to duplicate, tone wise, was because he had a 'corn' on his right thumb that made his sound more naturally pizzicato, when he wanted that effect. I play fingerstyle classical/folk guitar. I also play a strat and a 335 occasionally and play with a pick and some occasional basic hybrid picking for repeating licks, delta blues and the like, but rarely. So far Tommy Tedesco is still the most recorded guitarist in history, and he even plays nylon stringed guitars with pick for all of his recordings. He is also offended by the mushy/slacker tone/style of fingerstyle electric guitar players. They are kind of like all those Tele players that can't ever seem to hear how harsh their tone is, or how crazy they are. IMHO. If guys like Scofield want real respect, they'll clean up their act a little, but they are happy the way they are, I think.

MrJoeyBoombotz 😃! good stuff man!

The notion that it is reasonable for someone to be "offended" by finger style electric guitar players is preposterous and entirely contrived (no matter who you are). I am not sure what you mean by "slacker tone," nor, I am confident, would anyone else who can actually play. I would spend a little more time listening to Mississippi John Hurt before you referred to finger style players as slackers. Then I would go get a few early Jeff Beck solo albums and try... just try to actually play some of his stuff well. You strike my as one of those guys who keeps switching pickups in your guitars in order to really get "that"sound instead of learning to play.

I haven't spent a lot of time listening to Ms. John Hurt, but I'll take you at your word that he was good. Jeff Beck is good player, I was never a fan though, too gimmicky for me. I can't live my life in the past listening to all those guys, (Hooker, Hopkins, resonator players etc) and worshipping them. It all sounds the same, hokey, to me give and take. I loved Wes, L Carlton, John Williams, some of Duane Allman, Angus and Malcolm Young (one song at a time, my secret guilty pleasure) and BB but I don't listen to them anymore. Some of Carlton's work represented the best of a lot of styles and influences in his work with Steely Dan. I've never changed pickups, or anything else in a guitar once in my entire life. I owned one guitar at a time depending on what I was playing/gigging with at the time until just last year, I had kids to educate. I have 4 guitars now. All stock and I love them as is. I always worked 40-60 hours a week in my career and music was/is always a wonderful hobby I got to enjoy with friends, bands, in church or just playing with backing tracks when I had the time. I'm just glad I could always afford what I had and did the best with it I could. If you think Scofield has the same kind of professional polish of a player like Carlton or Wes, then that is your opinion. I respect that. I don't, and I think my reasons are justified. At least he plays a strat when I've seen him. He does have potential, but he makes too many bad choices in what he plays, how he plays and who he plays with. He gives up his musical identity and character to be one of herd. That's OK, just a little sad. I just usually pass when I see his name. I know he has done the work and is very knowledgeable and skilled. I don't like his performances much. No polish, like most of his friends.
