Joanne Shaw Taylor - Guitar Masterclass

[@Birkguitars]

Not only is she an awesome guitarist but she has a great voice as well. I am going through a serious blues period at the moment with people like JST and Samantha Fish blowing my mind - and inspiring me to get back to playing ths stuff. Now where did I leave that LP...

[@pumpvolumes]

I can’t believe I hand stumbled across her before, love it, and Samantha fish, can’t wait til she’s back in uk

[@ibrewalot]

Geez! How awesome to get insight into the periphery of JST. She's my total favorite, but I didn't have this kind of background from anywhere. Not to mention, getting to see her elusive, gorgeous smile was a real treat! Thanx very much!

[@bobolsen8067]

Blows 90%of the new blues dudes away!You are wonderful Joanne and you have feel!Thats more then i can say about most rock guitar players these days most of them are horrible.Fast as hell but has forgoten the most important thing feel!Love you Joanne!

[@ivansavchenco5636]

She is simply the best. When I need some fresh air I just put my headphones on and switch on Joanne... Thank you for so much hard work!

[@nickmcp71]

I'd first heard Joanne on radio, but caught her live at Manchester Hard Rock Cafe at a fundraiser gig for Pinktober, for breast cancer research; utterly blown over at just how good, and natural, she was. The SRV and Albert Collins references she makes here were apparent in her style, along with Bonnie Raitt; voice somewhere between the latter and (dare I say it) Aretha Franklin live... Mesmerising. Catch her if you can.

[@jonathanrebecca6498]

She is impressive player. One of the best bless guitar player out there.

[@gibson4676]

'Queen of the Blues' indeed!

[@jamminjay317]

Seeing her this Saturday in Chicago. looking forward to it.

[@EwanMathewson]

Great gig in Bath last night, thank you!

[@ianhogg8127]

Thanks ' great show at the sage Gateshead ' pleasure to meet you awesome guitar playing . Looking forward to see you next time.

My Tube Screamers are good, and "reedy"; maybe not as much flutter and drop out of the other overdrives. Surprise for me; expecting that Gibson humbuckers were obvious strong bests, was when I got an Ibanez synth or something flat triangle guitar; with a standard jack, and the big synthe plug-in: was that the Ibanez humbuckers are strong/low noise. Basically equal to the Gibsons. I had gone as far as testing the 50 year old Gibson : Balanced plug-in guitar: friggin 18 pounds of solid electric guitar. I am centered simple-minded, so I hate Gates. Instead, I got the Drawmer DF 320 floating Downward Expander. In time it worked getting out of the hunch. Joanne is the best.

[@TheThinker39]

Thanks, Joanne! Very interesting and enjoyable. I love your playing, your singing, and your songs!

[@martynk8984]

Just saw her play at Preston Guild Hall supporting Joe Bonamassa. Really impressive sound and a Brummie too. Rock on Joanne!

[@densilmusic]

only recently heard jst's music, awesome is the only word to describe her playing!...great stuff

[@Matt_Baldwin]

Wonderfully passionate player and yet is still able to academically deconstruct her own playing, as she does here. SRV, otoh, couldn't really explain his own approach. His best sum-up was "floor it, with guesswork." He made a point of saying that the only times he got in trouble playing were when he started thinking too much. Musicians can be really superstitious about unpacking their "primary weapons." Bjork doesn't like to reflect too closely on her singing style. Paul McCartney has studiously avoided learning to read music, fearing that it'll sour his creative process. Yeah, that JST is able and willing to do this with any level of eloquence is kinda rare. The fact that she can draw equally from the head and heart is a real one-two punch.

[@walacenogueiraobeid859]

Great singer and great player!

[@randallwaters3567]

Love JST! I saw her play after the second album came out. She called me a bloke.

[@rockabilly12]

Thanks Joanne, Those were great practice tips.

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

Totally Stoked J.S.T.! Thanks for sharing your videos

[@mlmcconnmlmcconn1781]

I saw JST in Dublin, November 2015. I asked her after the show how to get to where she's at in terms of touring, getting your name out there, etc. She basically told me to get people who you love and who love you back around you, and then she told me the best advice that she should've known would have been to learn the business side of music. How to manage yourself, your name, your band, etc. I'll never forget the advice, super simple but really necessary. Thanks Joanne, hope to jam with you soon.

[@aobyungcp4330]

Care to pass along the advice to me I switched from Hip hop music (good success) to Guitar and i’ve been lost

[@danieldaluzmartins3418]

I love yor joanne! Very Very good!

[@systemdegenerate]

Nothing beats a good guitar vid

[@systemdegenerate]

Especially a good one

[@grzenogrzeno9079]

100% heaven for blues fans :)

[@janiceallan2981]

Awesome guitarist!

[@kentmains7763]

Fantastic guitar player.

[@wimplesaur]

Very nice. Thank you

[@kingswayguitar]

that sounds much nicer than the orange amp i saw her using live

[@ronnieguitar99]

I like that about how she didn't have the discipline to really copy other guitarists. I've read that in a Samantha Fish interview and a Robin Trower interview too. And then, lots of guitar players learned by sitting down with records by their heroes and copying solos note for note. Sounds like work to me, get the pentatonic scale down and just make it up as you go is what I like to do. It's more fun than actually working at it.

[@gerardgerard8344]

Good Jams!!! Cheers, G - London

[@hawg427]

Great Video.

[@hindubodhkongpala]

I tried that actually 38 pound or so Gibson with Balanced Jack at Retro Music in southern New Hampshire; located in a state college town. Retro was its' name: > Vintage. If you want to, find the guy who owned Retro Music: to target specific Vintage gear that you are looking for. And, her might want something that you have. Today you can get the clear and dense Lead Sustain you want from many products. Previously you get grainy results which did not have the density of harmonic content in the tone. Think: Source Sound is first, and is different than Processed Sound. The Yamaha "Sound Reinforcement" (the meaning of "Unity Gain"??) book must be of value to the musician, even though it relates to Live Sound mechanics: because when Live Sound and Source Sound are junked or not defined, the Mud Honey Idea is for you to know. [Joanne is true form, but No Honey Products in a Hummingbird Feeder: only white sugar, No Honey Bread for feeding the beautiful birds at your fingertips.]. These Internet Concerts, live record: frequently Do Not MIx. What are you going to do about it? And make your own solid record, notes, about how you solved it, so that the Vinegar Genius gets more than "Did it. And Sleep". Hey. "Soul Station" at the Borderline. What is musical life in action, bud? Get real.

[@scottallen1566]

JOEANNE ROCKS

[@robgarrett4609]

What... no Robin Trower love/appreciation?!! Stay true woman... I love it +13:28

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

[@JudgeFredd]

[@chuckcrenshaw6751]

[@Kaspa0710]

❤❤👌

[@datrucksdavea2080]

great writer also...

[@TheRealJanKafka]

When she breaks out of the minor pentatonic, I hear a touch of Peter Frampton.

[@barrya.6212]

FOR THE RECORD JOANNE......MY GUITAR DON'T DO THAT....IT MUST BE BROKE...NOT THE END USER'S FAULT :)

[@hindubodhkongpala]

At Ronnie Guitar; Joanne actually knows a musical way that is different than "inside of" Pentatonic blues theory: the whole melodic harmonic. Our indo-asian blues does not conform to pentatonic theory:> because ours can be 11 tone scales. The 5th is 7 half-steps up from the Tonic; and sometimes we do not stress the 3rd. That is called, generically: an open 5th Chord. "MODULATE" means change the Key of the song during the song: which we do not do. "Modulation" sucks; and Downbeat Rhythm Structure sucks. Even in the West, there are numerous different sorts of blues form put-togethers. We never "com"-pose, because anybody who communicates is a commie. Joanne is with Joe Bonomassa sometimes. His Live Concerts Mix: each note of each instrument clear and known. Tell your buds: You are a blues rock musician, and you got to study. "Soul Station" at the Borderline.

[@r6chrisk]

OMG im shit.

[@ronnieguitar99]

Did she say a 1966 Les Paul? That thing must weight a ton.

[@soprano168]

She said it's from 1996.

[@barrya.6212]

FEMALE SRV ....

[@ronnieguitar99]

I thought it was actually letting me download this for a minute, turns out the file I downloaded was 0kb. Oh well. What happened to downloading KZbin? It worked for years and now they blocked it.

[@ronnieguitar99]

What's up KZbin? My downloading programs don't work with any KZbin videos anymore. They used to work on everything and then official stuff wouldn't work and now not even stuff somebody recorded at a club on their smartphone can be downloaded. Damn it!! I want to download this. Who knows, I may lose my internet connection once I'm too broke to pay my bill, which I am already. If only my lazy wife would get a job to help out. LOL Fat chance of that ever happening.

[@EASTNSIM9454]

i will learn mud money, it will be the death of me

[@didistone3362]

pitié il faut couper la musique de fond ça ne sert à rien

[@danfridenstine5751]

Quit mumbling

[@ronnieguitar99]

I wish she would speak English. My hearing ain't good enough to understand British.

[@mrc2662]

ronnieguitar99 my brain isn’t dumb enough to understand your level. We can handle The Wire. You can cope with the language we gave you.

[@dennislane100]

Lives in Detroit City now. You really need to get some new speakers/headphones/ears.
