When the musicians walk on stage together they aren’t looking to be ‘the best individual’, they are making music TOGETHER. Without the band there’s nothing, without a collective desire to drive the song forward there’s nothing, without communication (either verbal or musically) there’s nothing. These musicians breath this stuff, they appreciate each other’s talents and bring out the best in the song or solo. Watch a great musician and you’ll see give and take, you’ll see a love for the moment and the emotion they create for their audience. This is a unique moment that can’t be repeated, enjoy it for what it is. It’s not a competition.

@Cool3reeze 3 жыл бұрын

@@mariodriessen9740 I hate comments like yours, if people feel that an artist is underrated it probably has merit in their eyes. You hearing of a particular musician doesn't mean that enough people know who he is. If I went out and asked 100 people do you think they'd all say they know who he is? I doubt they would, so he is underrepresented or more generally underrated. That's my .02 that nobody asked for but I felt like I needed to call you out on your unwanted .02. Have a nice day.

@mariodriessen9740 3 жыл бұрын

B. Cook ; I’m sorry I offended you, or anyone. I never intended to offend people. And maybe this will turn into a semantic matter, but there is, in my opinion anyway, a huge difference between being underrepresented or being underrated. I think we all agree that Josh Smith is a fabulous guitarist. And that’s exactly my point. He’s absolutely not underrated, but he is indeed underrepresented. However, you could say the exact same thing about a man like John Scofield, Danny Gatton and even Pat Metheny. Ask 100 random people and you’d be pleased to find two who know all of them. We’re on the same boat here. The only reason I reacted on this comment was to point out the fact that Josh is crazy good and I have never met a guitar player who believed otherwise. So does that make him underrated? Not in my world. And if he is, then he’s not the only person on that stage that’s underrated. And that’s the only point I was trying to make. I’m not a troll and I don’t feel the urge to bash anyone. Do great guitar players (or instrumentalists in general) get the praise they deserve? Absolutely not. Is it our ‘fault’? I don’t think so. I’d be amazed if people who are watching this video will think he’s underrated. Have a nice day. And remember, I’m not your enemy.

Agreed. Funny how the great guitar players themselves never seem to get in an argument over who the "best" is but rather compliment their peers over their talent and experience. I really like Joe because he respects the artform of the blues and those giants who paved the way for him and others. And even though he probably could be worth ten times what he is now if he had sold out to 'the system' and let the corporations mold him into a pop star, he has become a strong advocate for KTBA and works with some of the best musicians in the business. Now if someone would just convince him to contact another music 'rebel', Jennifer Warnes, and see what the two of them could come up with, I could die a happy man!

Shows how brilliant Tommy is. Chicago style blues is not his genre, nor is playing with a plectrum, yet when he decided to step it up, you'd think he spent his musical life in a blues band. Look how Joe is digging it.

@QuynhNguyen-zw8uv 2 жыл бұрын

his early music career was actually spent playing in rock bands with most notably his brother Phil emmanuel (RIP) where they really tore it up.. He always played with a pick even on acoustic until he realised Chet's 'fingerstyle' technique involved using a thumbpick which was the game changer for him.

@svendbosanvovski4241 2 жыл бұрын

@@QuynhNguyen-zw8uv Thanks for replying, Quynh. Most of us started with a plectrum. I remember seeing TE with the Bushwackers in the 70s, and later at the Real Ale Cafe in the mid 80s. I think it had a connection with The Basement. Not sure. Anyway, Tommy was playing finger style then. Those old Bushwackers LPs might be worth something today.

@@josemiguelberrios3640 I did, he uses someone else's song/tune to demonstrate his technical prowess. But it's so over the top that he loses the original composers intention, the music is lost. If you look at California Dreamin' - Michael Chapdelaine - Video (solo fingerstyle guitar) cover; now here’s a guitarist that understands music, he’s recreates the original song in his own style without destroying the original intent of the composer. Basically Tommy is all technical show without the art; he’s like a shredder where after a few minutes thinking how impressive it all is but then left wonder where the music is.
