'I Just Wish' Al Joseph's inspirational rock ballad! | JTCGuitar.com

[@jongomm]

I love this guy's playing. FEELS.

[@crotchet1586]

***** Some great phrasing and note choices Al.

[@JoelBrownMD]

+Al Joseph You are awesome. Wow.

[@PNgaia33859]

in australia, i picked al, to be future G3

[@jelleepit]

That is a masterclass in taste and knowing when to shut up and knowing when to play. Al has managed to squeeze in some incredible technique but not at the cost of melody. The perfect mix of really fluid soulful feel and sprinkles of shred at just the right moment. What a great song and what a great player. Just, WOW.

[@kadudiniz51]

Man, you got it down!

[@uli87]

You described it perfectly. I have nothing to add.

[@jelleepit]

Thanks, fresh musical rain people.

[@jammydodger222Xxd]

This guy's phrasing is unreal, just listened to night lights by him and it has some of the most incredible melodic sequences I've heard

[@Metal_Vistas]

Not be be a downer, but my father died about a month ago, and I've been feeling pretty low. Watching and listening to this put a huge smile on my face, and reminded me how fortunate I am to be alive. Fantastic music like this is one of life's great pleasures... so thanks for the reminder.

[@hereticlohani]

Sad to hear that your Pop passed away. You're not being a downer. If this musical piece helped bring a smile, music lived up to its purpose. Thanks for your comment. I'm sure the artist appreciates it too. Hang in there, and all the best.

[@davidlane147]

That's what music is for (some of the time). Sorry for your loss but I'm glad you found some solace in this song.

[@alward5678]

So sorry to hear about you Papa. Praying that you can find peace.

[@greekfreak1980]

I really love this type of melodic playing,great tone also.Would be great to see him do a track with Marco Sfogli or Andy Timmons.

[@agentfyre]

9 Years later and I still come back to this song often. Absolutely love this.

[@lebonnie]

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? the???.......this guy is awesome and I've never heard of him...I am officially a fan. Beautiful.

[@ZEHM89]

That clean part at the introduction was magnificent.

[@Unknown-ko7xt]

Its 3.00 a.m and with few shots of rum I'm into his playing. I think that's enough to translate how beautiful this song is. God bless Mr. Al Joseph. Cheers. 🥃

[@Hazardteam]

It's painfully *BEAUTIFUL🤗* He is very talented. And not just "talented". His music has _soul_ in it. Definetely. Pure incarnation of profism.

[@curtisunit]

Greetings from Ireland Al. A friend here told me about you. First class all the way. That's some full grown man stuff. Really top shelf. Hope you make it out this way.

[@dougcunha]

2:40 ! What an amazing phrase we have there!

[@luigipati3815]

Al's playing is perfectly and masterfully balanced and really musical. Hugely impressed. Bravo, Al. Truly a great guitarist, and I don't say that of anyone very easily.

[@alekai2178]

One of the best compositions I've ever heard. Thank you Al Joseph!

[@edwardheins2930]

Feelings and emotions flowing from the ether through the heart and through your fingers to my ears bathed in this beauty! DUDE !!!

[@laladin123]

I cried at the lick between 2:39 - 2:46 . It feels like my soul is groaning Thank you

[@ishanneupane5227]

Brought tears in my eyes

[@thedavekane]

In just 1 word: Beautiful!

[@PNgaia33859]

ME TOO. I Love this man Playing. His beautiful long fingers , enrapture my untarnished pristine soul.

[@jelleepit]

Like a magnet I am back here listening to this track. True beauty care of the fretboard. You sir are top of your game and it is a privilege to hear your compositions.

[@bollao]

Amazing man. This tone remember me the days when i met the instrument and the beauty of his sound. Congrats !!!

[@richierebolios1813]

the Marco sfogli is strong in him!!!

[@alexandreluizalves]

No comparison.

[@leonardocassan1518]

I can´t stop listening to this

[@PNgaia33859]

years back i saw al and commented positive, blew me away, still does, cheers Al, my son loves you too.

[@hereticlohani]

This is art! Feeling blessed to have witnessed such wonderful expressions of ideas and motifs; complimenting and contrasting at times as a story unfolds, peaks in energy, (and then intensity), and fades out to a simple pleasing outro. Thought it went past 8 mins earlier, but it's just 5+ says everything.

[@YaoEspirito]

Absolutely top-flight. Beautiful through and through. This ought to be enshrined in the eternal archives of guitar classics somewhere.

[@GuitarMan3YT]

Al!! You are the man!! Great job!! I can't believe anybody would give you a thumbs down ! They must not be musically inclined or, they're just jealous of your playing! I give you 2 thumbs up!!

[@RichardSheehan]

Okay. This has been around for six years and I've only just heard it? Wow, superb. And another guitarist for me to check out!

[@lwilso20]

Brotha, you've got yourself a fan. I feel so much Marco Sfogli in these melodies. It's just great. Well done man.

[@dubsbarry9963]

2:20 to 3:40 is absolutely phenomenal! Some of the best riffing I've ever heard

[@davidderoux7552]

What about 0 - 5:19 ?

[@thainnei]

You got the talent brother I can’t even explain with words just close your eyes and listen to this music than you will know what I’m talking about. I love it bro

[@shimonnygaard2265]

This guys phrasing is simply and technically Beautiful!!!! 🙌. It really doesn’t get much better.

[@MikeSedmakMusic]

That's Beautiful! Great playing!

[@guitarwayfarer]

I've been listening to the album version of this but seeing him play it live and the touches he added just hit me harder than my first time hearing dream theater

[@diamondhead84]

Awesome playing Al. I really like how you dont overplay and shred and instead let the song build up, The solo is phenomenal!

[@doeboyfresh863]

[@RiccardoLorusso_Official]

Feeling and emotions.. the goal of a ballad, and of the music is this.. Great job Al! Cheers from Italy

[@alejandronanez7888]

I loved the way you play it with feelings this is a great masterpiece. Now I have it in my phone playing every night on my way to work. I wish you could send me this backtrack so I can study.

[@keithbarto5464]

Al Joseph makes me freaking cry on the regular...theres simply too much feeling in his phrasing for my feeble mind to take.

[@jessereyna7408]

This is my favorite Al Joseph song so far. Good stuff.

[@roccomicelotta3798]

Tremendous talent, what a gifted musician. Beautiful! Thank You, Ric

[@GustavoDornelas]

This is the most beautifull guitar solo i ever heard! Greatings from Brazil!

[@i.c.y.]

Traces of Andy Timmons. Beautiful phrasing. Thank you for this masterclass, indeed. 🙂❤️🙏

[@MrSpankypj]

There are times when I hear songs and I say to myself - "I wish I had written that." This is one of those songs. You have inspired me over the last few months to start playing more seriously again. Your phrasing and feel is great. The tension created in the section where you change keys or move to a diminished sound is really well done. I will be getting the backing tracks to this song. Thanks Al.

[@crazyhorse2995]

Thanks Al and JTC. Bought Ballads album and love it start to finish. Production and artists first class. Just wonderful artistry on guitar.

[@SAGASA2K]

Been listening to this since: - it first came out - since I started my own journey on different fronts - since I became a dad (7 months now) - and still listening to it today

[@northstar7647]

I keep listening to this track! Nice melodies and memorable licks!

[@aviationmyster]

My favorite Al Joseph song.. love it.

[@natanielespinoza1992]

When I heard that song, it made me think of a young mother I worked with last year. She was very tender and sweet to me, but knowing that she had a boyfriend and a daughter from a past relationship, the third melody made me think when trying to interpret it.😢

[@JamesGaoist]

What’d you interpret and do with the situation?

[@renierhenn5290]

Love love love it!!!!! Sooooo much emotion!!!!

[@GustavoRiveraulloa]
