Never mind the guitar dual at the end of Crossroads, I had the exact same reaction to Cooder's "Feelin' Bad Blues". It's my favorite piece of music from the whole music. It raised my hair in all the really great ways that can happen and only really good music does.

Joe is a great player and seems like decent person, I dont really know of course, but he has a lot of lessons where he teaches stuff he certainly doesnt have to. I dont like jazz like Pat Metheny much, not my style, but I am not going to rip on them. No question they are excellent players too.

Again I'm so impressed by Joe Bonamasa he can do anything. I've seen him shred, play acoustic, Classic Rock, and of course Blue's, and now slide. and he completely kills every time. I have a glass finger but now I may have to switch to a metal one. after Joe showing everyone the cool trick that his guitar tech. did with the magnet thanks Joe Bonamasa.

I have been using a glass slide for a few years, but I'm going to switch back to using a Chrome guitar slide because probably the deepest slide guitar recording I had done was with a Chrome slide and oddly enough, I have played it many times over the years, but cannot replicate the sheer deep, raw, soulful sound as what I captured originally. The song I recorded is called "Missing You Blues" and I had recorded it a few years prior to putting it up on my KZbin channel. Oddly enough, I'll be using the same little trick for the slide on my guitar, so it saves me trying to remember where I last put it when I'm going to play 🤣

Rob Mantell Same here. And yes, he's probably unmatchable for the mayority of us, but there's always room to be a better guitar player anyway. He's been playing since he was a little kid, and maybe hours and hours everyday. I haven't work that hard ever. That said, I'm happy being just a decent guitar player, and making little progress on a daily basis. Cheers!

Rob Mantell, "Bonamassa's technical skill on a guitar in any config is unmatchable" You clearly need to do some more listening. Start with Derek Trucks and Sonny Landreth. Joe's not even in the same building with those guys when it comes to playing bottleneck.

Ry Cooder's song "Feeling Bad Blues" was actually Ry's own rendition of Arlo Roth's slide piece, "Landslide". Arlo Roth was hired to work with Ralph Macchio to show him how to look and act like a guitar player, including the classical guitar parts, but he also worked with Ry Cooder on alot of the slide guitar music in the movie, but somehow Arlo Roth was only given movie credits for being the technical advisor for Ralph Macchio. If you think "Feelin' Bad Blues" wanna hear real heart piercing blues, then you should check out these songs, "Howlin' Wolf - Goin' Down Slow (Live)", "Robert Johnson - Hellhound On My Trail", "Robert Johnson - "Crossroads", "Lightnin Hopkins - "War Is Startin' Again". Beautiful slide playing here by Joe and it would be awesome to hear him on an acoustic trying his hand at some delta/country blues.

He covers all the bases from nasty Johnny Winter licks to buttery Ry Cooder chords. Frankly, I don't see why he doesn't play slide all the time, good slide players are in short supply these days.
