'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

[@agentfyre]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@leonardocassan1518]

I can´t stop listening to this

[@richierebolios1813]

the Marco sfogli is strong in him!!!

[@alexandreluizalves]

No comparison.

[@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.

[@Hazardteam]

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

[@lebonnie]

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

[@laladin123]

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

[@ZEHM89]

That clean part at the introduction was magnificent.

[@ishanneupane5227]

Brought tears in my eyes

[@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. 🥃

[@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

[@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

[@PNgaia33859]

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

[@MateoBakija]

It really is inspirational, I wanna play guitar right now :D

[@edwardheins2930]

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

[@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.

[@thedavekane]

In just 1 word: Beautiful!

[@PNgaia33859]

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

[@umbertopomenti2831]

OMG! I was listening without seeing the video and thought that was Marco Sfogli, there's no one difference between Marco and this awesome guy!!

[@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

[@alekai2178]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@YaoEspirito]

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

[@shimonnygaard2265]

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

[@bollao]

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

[@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.

[@dougcunha]

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

[@julioazathoth]

I have been waiting for this for two months :D! I love it, fantastic song

[@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?

[@jessereyna7408]

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

[@jessereyna7408]
