I think like most great guitarists and especially great blues players,Joe's tone comes from his hands,fingers.I love his sound!

[@mulemusic]

I am amazed at how Joe has grown into his own over the past several years. And after seeing this demo, I see that he is not letting the fact that he in one of the best on the planet go to his head.. Joe, you are the man!!

[@ParkingLot1995]

kinda sounds like kermit at the beginning....love the guy btw

[@tatsandteles]

This Guy is such a decent person. Most players don't like to let their tone secrets out. You can tell he is in it purely for HIS love of music and tone. I don't particularly gravitate to his style of playing, but have nothing but admiration for his abilities and especially his humble attitude. You know he is grateful despite his success, rare in an artist of his standing. Rock on Joe!

[@gibsonguitars22]

wow at 1:10 i could've sworn that he was going to play cliffs of dover but then he turned it into one of his amazing blues licks haha

[@licklibrary]

We think the sad fact is that Joe would sound like Joe on just about any rig unfortunately! Though getting his high end gear would certainly put you in the same ballpark, the rest is a long old journey though :)

[@morgancross5481]

One of the bigger things I think that people don't talk as much about is the speakers he uses. Those EV's are going to be worlds different than the typical Celestions you'll find in many setups. Much less aggressive and colored in many ways, some of the "purity" you're hearing could be from those.

[@seekah1]

Cat 5 + Fuzzface + LP = Badass. Nice dude. Thanks.

[@hawg427]

Great Bluesman & he really knows how to get the most out of the equipment he has. Very humble player.

[@philsnetstuff]

we love Joe, what an great player and a likeable guy

[@AdrianEmond]

such sick tone

[@JulesVermeij]

His tone really reminds me of Eric Johnson.

[@edavis1066]

I've just become aware of Joe in the last couple of years. He sure has changed his look. I've never heard him speak before or seen him without shades

[@MrSenn22]

This Is Realy awesome I See you soon in Holland Caré

[@TheMartinRNR]

"Aah" and "You know" is the two signature words of Joe! Lol!

[@kangtheconqueror]

Absolutely love JB. Can't wait to see him with Black Country Communion. He can make his guitar sound like just about anyone he wants, but when he speaks, he's a dead ringer for Fozzy Bear!! He is, in my humble opinion just about the best player around at the moment and would put him on stage withanyone. Check out JB at the Royal Albert Hall. K

[@TheKassie1987]

quite heavy, 010 or 011.. but he does a wrap-around at the bridge..to reduce the angle, it also helps for less breaks. Also he has nylon bridge saddles for the G-B-E strings, to warmen the tone.

[@melodycassill8373]

I can't imagine an artist knowing any more about his craft. I hope he has as much success in his love and personal life.

[@rvdw725]

This video is very old, and was already put on youtube, but now THIS video is in HD. So we can get a better look, great.

[@stefan_hauk]

The tape is over the knobs of the pedals is there purely to avoid settings being knocked by a lead being dragged over them or in transit etc.....

[@PIlotrcm]

He should change his name to Eric Bonamassa, because sounds like two Erics I know, Johnson and Clapton.

[@Jamie_Smith_Photo]

@APortlyNinja it also stops him kicking the dials and changing the sound of the pedal when he presses them

[@BIRDINTHEHOUZE]

@JamesCornelisonMusic its just to keep the knobs from moving

[@GuitarSwan]

"which I like"

[@eposyba]

Come to Calgary Alberta Canada Joe...............Please!

[@EGGJAZZ]

which i like

[@Veaseify]

Every time I see a Joe Bonamassa video the purity of the tone just blows me away. Can you actually get anywhere near that without the exact same amp setup he uses? The Van Weelden and Category 5 are only available 'on application' so god knows how much they cost -the Two Rock is about three grand so I would guess you're looking at fifteen grands worth of Amp at least. Just a smidgen beyond my budget :)

[@vheadfacelegs]

hes got good picking technique

[@Rideandlively]

Slow down the video to 1/4 speed if you want to learn how to play like him..new youtube feature!!

[@machetok]

Really nice playing, Joe. he said "Aah" 42 times lol

[@luit13]

To keep his favourite settings in place at all times. When you're on a darkish stage and, by accident, you step on one off the pots of a pedal, it's very hard to find the right setting again while playing. That's the thought behind the tape.

[@aektzis91]

@kiaranjay ive seen him live and to be honest i think he just tends to bring out the EJ licks when he is noodling around by himself. I think that probably around the time that this video was taken he had probably been watching an EJ licks DVD or something, but in a live situation he has a very distinct playing style that is unique in its own right.

[@BlueBullRidley]

Which Amp Set up Sounds Better And Sweat'3r, The Euro Or 'Merican?

[@Niteblub]

Joe would sound like E.Johnson with a les paul on any rig.

[@bengrockson]

@kiaranjay dude just cuz hes doing pentatonic runs.. he has a different thing then ej... much different.. yes more bluesy.. but the way he attacks is so different

[@MayonesPlayer]

he could plug into a cardboard box and still sounds amazing

[@blueleadguitar]

@guitarthroat Well said, I couldn't agree with you more! I love it how everyone thinks if they have play a Hendrix guitar through a Van Halen amp, using a Zak Wilde or Slash wah wah for example, they're gonna sound just like them! lol It's all bollocks! All they're saying is I spent thousands of pounds more to sound just like me! lol

[@Jase.Manley]

where was this filmed?

[@JRBane]

Ironically, he sounded most like EJ when he played through the superlead. Sounds great, though!

[@Jamescornelison]

@BIRDINTHEHOUZE I know, i really want to see his pedal settings though

[@Foodie88]

@gibsonguitars22 LOL! I was just about to post exactly the same comment but I saw urs and thumbed it up! :)

[@23645645]

@GibsonGuitarist666 with an amp switcher?

[@EricClaptonFan24]

@kiaranjay YES, but his playing also sounds the same.

[@Jamescornelison]

whats with the tape over his tube screamer settings?!?!

[@joser4471]

@kiaranjay yeah, but with a Les Paul! Lol!

[@BramClaes]

You will never sound like Joe Bonamassa because you don't play like Joe Bonamassa. Don't be discouraged by that, because you should discover your own signature sound. After all, if you want to make it in music, sounding exactly like some famous guitar player isn't going to get you anywhere :)

[@firdausHITMAN]

What head was that marshall? he didnt demo or talk about it?

[@OneSupreme08]

I am not envious to Joe, hes a great Guitar player and like him very much ! But I dont know if you believe in God , karma etc or not, I just think that every musician --specially guitarists, should be lucky enough to make living with music if they truly love playing so much....You just cannot go for a job and make great music at the sam time !

[@vidzaratm]

1:10 cliffs of dover phahahahaha!

[@Gibson1976uk]

I know too many guitar players that always have everything maxed out??? the secret is to play with those volume and tone knobs on your guitar!! maybe have some oil in paper tone caps installed? whatever makes you happy :) a guitar can be like a car, just cruise with it man, you don't need to go full throttle all the time :)

[@Plocky241]

When he plays those really fast licks, I cant tell if he's picking all the notes???

[@dorianpsycho13]

@JamesCornelisonMusic he's hot tape over every knob of every pedal, maybe he doesn't want his settings to be seen xD

[@TrapDaddy65]

Great tour, but I tuned in to find out what PHASE SHIFTER he uses. Oh, well...

[@pinehillprimitives1]

Bonamassa is God!!!

[@ChristopherStandardTime]

@kiaranjay oriented. "orientated" is not a word.

[@Jeepjones85]

:D!

[@johnbee209]

He does sound like Kermit. Thanks

[@kiaranjay]

I swear this sounds so much like Eric Johnson, just a bit more blues orientated

[@stefan_hauk]

Joe sounds like Joe.

[@jakiee11]

poor Joe how many of these rig run downs do they expect you to do in 1 year same gear you are a good sport ---hey Joe were you goin with that gold top in your hand

[@Rideandlively]

jump to 3:50 and slow down to .25 time ahahah

[@RoyvanRikken]

I know you can do a lot with unaffordable amps and settings. But every note he plays....................... Man how does he do that ?

[@TomMilleyMusic]

only the phrasing sounds like johnson. his tone actually doesnt really sound like his. closer to clapton or kossoff.

[@_alexsams]

Because he plays like the Three Kings and Gary Moore..

[@Levithia100]

Was habt ihr immer mit Eric Johnson. Joe Bonamassa ist Joe Bonamassa. Punkt.

[@somoshun]

first seen:D

[@Zorlak108]

As people have said before..... ERIC JOHNSON!!!.... much...

[@randommoosebrains]

kermit the frog...lol

[@jethro2309]

why does he sound like kermit the frog

[@pleximanic]

Kermit the frog

[@fragment7]

@kiaranjay ye i fkin ripped off,, its such a shame,,

[@Mardello]

@cstfakeaccount We have a minor oddity here, in that both orient and orientate come from the same French verb, orienter, but were introduced at different times, the shorter one in the eighteenth century and the longer in the middle of the nineteenth. There’s been a quiet war going on between the two of them ever since. I tend to use oriented and orientated pretty indiscriminately myself, choosing the shorter one when it seems to fit the flow of the sentence. Get a life no-one cares. Except me.

[@GRAFHC]

Fender Deluxe Reverb RI will get you VERY close. A nice EQ and compressor in front will take you the rest of the way.

[@vitorpaulozzi]

he does awesome things on the riffs and them he simply start talking normally, like it was it nothing what he just have done

[@8653011]

I hate joe bonamassa because he makes me realise how rubbish i am on guitar

[@Gibson1976uk]

And there is people on youtube that say his Epiphone edition is better than the Gibson! QUESTION!! so why does he use the Gibson?? DUH, because of the headstock? give me a break. ANSWER: The Gibson is the better guitar unless your deaf
