Feels like Robben is one of the last blues players who "builds" a solo in a non-predictable way. He never sounds like he's recycling riffs or going for the easy crowd-pleasing of loud squealing bent note cliches. He can burn with the best but he takes his time and works up to it rather than jumping right to "10" the way most modern guitarists do.

Robben Ford is THE greatest blues guitarist in history. Period. No other guitarist,in this genre has his impeccable time, tone, taste, phrasing nor the ability to play in innumerable musical contexts with all kinds of players. He has created modern blues guitar by injecting a deep understanding of jazz from bop to fusion (which none of the "name" players had any inkling of). Robben is a guitar virtuoso of the highest caliber.

I've never seen Joe Bonamassa play outside of basic blues and rock arrangements. NEITHER are bona fide blues players. That's just a slight sellout to target a larger listening audience than fusion or progressive rock. It's still not as extreme as George Benson becoming a Top-40 star 😆

@@josephblow5946 Disagree. Joe grew up on British Blues Rock, learned from traditional blues and has always tried new approaches. Has never claimed to be traditional blues artist. Blues is the broad umbrella for many players. Joe plays fusion in fine style with Rock Candy Funk Party. Everyone has their favs. Joe is mine. Love his songs from covers, love,anger, humor and heartbreak. His playing phenomenal in tone and precision. His voice simply one of the best around. Also I was lucky to have seen Joe play with Eric Gales as surprise guest in Huntsville 1st tour after Covid. Last show. He and Gales passed guitar licks back and forth like a relay team: not a competition. Beautiful conversation between friends. Don’t get lost in semantics and pigeon holes. Music is always subjective.

@@jobo-and-mo He may have started on British Blues Rock, but he evolved by emulating Progressive Rock players like Eric Johnson. The point was, he's definitely not a "Fusion" player in the classic sense. Fusion players = John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Gambale, et.al. Robben Ford is on the bottom of the totem pole in terms of hardcore Fusion playing. And yes, the guitar duel with Eric Gales was more epic. Eric Gales is more of a Blues/Rock shredder type like Bonamassa, unlike Robben Ford. A modern day Jimi Hendrix with modern day chops, if you will.

Dynamics are not binary. There is a lot of range between quiet swells and flat out. Robben's brother Pat is a master at following a player's dynamics while giving them room to work it back down a bit. Something they did together so incredibly well. Chris Cain is someone who really got this. Fortunately it seems that lately Joe has discovered Chris and learning the lessons Chris got from Robben that escaped him here.
