Joe Bonamassa at Emerald City Guitars!

[@davidfreiboth1360]

Classic moment, Joe says he's never owned a TV Junior, looks at it knowingly and sighs. Everyone knows what that "should I or shouldn't I" sigh means ... we've all been there.

[@reverb508]

Haha I caught that too. That was definitely an "I'm about to spend money, aren't I?" sigh.

[@seanrosedotcom]

That's definitely what that was. Since it cut out, I'd even venture a guess that was a, "I'll take it" moment.

[@michaelhotz7118]

That would be about the only thing he doesn’t have.

[@donsuccone]

Brilliant! I saw that too 😂

[@BluesInSeattle]

He wants it but knows he won't play it. And that's the dilemma. He has so many guitars he doesn't play and he's always hoping to find one he will play.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

The way JB looked at the Jr. was incredible. Total expert, collector, guitar addict.. one look and he knows

[@robertdyer8517]

I could watch these guys trying and talking guitars all day love it

[@sixslinger9951]

Joe is such a humble dude and a monster player. Good to see him and love your shop!

[@stratmagic6893]

Just saw Joe in AZ. what a great show. Joe is a humble and generous man.

[@paul_sebastian1154]

Love Joe, such a cool guy who knows so damn much and plays like a legend 🤘

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

Say what you want about Joe but dang it man I love the dude! His tone is Straight from Heaven to his hands! Thanks for the upload

[@jimyon8259]

So true dude, wish they would have showed him playing a little more but okay, we'll take it!

[@sixslinger9951]

he's one the best . fuck off to all the haters!

[@sixoid4104]

I don’t get what all the hate is about.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

@@sixoid4104 I never could understand why ! Joe is always so down-to-earth and is complimentary to other players and he is also very generous in sharing his knowledge concerning playing and guitars.

[@oversword6024]

Went to that first show at the Paramount and Joe was just great. What a cool guy blessed with a great band. Terrific ambassador for modern blues music. Wish I had known he was at the store I was just a few blocks away when this vid was recorded.

[@normangordon52]

Can I just say that I am glad you didn't just end in Seattle? I know it was a pain to get to Spokane, but we loved the show!

[@angelgabriella7974]

So cool to see JB again. That is a totally awesome looking shop, what a nice collection of "toys"

[@nevusofota]

Joe’s the man. How cool would it be just to hang with him for a day and nerd out on guitar. Take away the guitar and he’s still probably one hell of a hang.

[@tallpaul1020]

Joe's the best!! Seeing him live is a memorable experience. I never miss him when he plays close. Hope to get to Seattle one day to CK out that awesome shop. Thx 🎸👍

[@liamwagner9160]

my god. That last 5 second clip of him on that ES-335 was savage. I would pay a couple bucks just to hear him strum on that thing for a few minutes though my laptop speakers. I love that Joe sounds like Joe no matter what guitar he has in his hands, where he is, or what amp he's playing through.

[@chazjr2390]

My favorite guitarist! Love Joe! Thanks for sharing!

[@claytonphelps9911]

Always love these posts with Joe in the store.

[@Funkybassuk]

A buddy of mine used to say that you can either be a collector or a player. Joe is one of the exceptions. I really enjoy his noodling when he’s trying out guitars.

[@wizaxed]

Josh Smith surely deserves a shout out also!!! Or did he NOT buy a guitar?!?!? Lol.

[@Jowls2024]

I've never been to ECG. I saw Joe the first night on the 30th with Josh Smith playing rhythm. Two for the price of one! What a treat.

[@jcburger733]

Prey cool when Joe shows up!!

[@DevanSabaratnam]

I am a big Joe B and Emerald City Guitars fan... Many years ago I was in the shop with my two boys who were about 4 and 7 at the time. They were walking (respectfully) in and among very expensive guitars on the floor, and the ECG guys didn't bat an eyelid and were totally cool with it. At that moment I promised myself when I make my first $million, I would come back to ECG and buy a vintage guitar from them.

[@holmes1978]

Such a Legend !

[@srinip]

What a regular dude! I can just see him bantering with the guys at Chuck's in Wheaton, MD....:)

[@RogueCheddar]

Joe always brings it. If you haven't seen him live, you're missing out.

[@CarlKennedyMusic]

Great to see and hear you Joe!

[@danhayden4254]

What is cool is this is how the staff treats everyone.

[@mistertv9930]

Except for Marc Maron, of course.

[@johnmirabile3535]

GLAD TO SEE JOE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WATCHING HIM WITH A GUITAR ON ANY PLATFORM IS A PLEASURE....WE NEED MORE OF THIS AND GUYS LIKE JOE ON KZbin...THERES A YOUNG KID OUT THERE RIGHT NOW SURFING THE INTERNET, THAT WILL HOPEFULLY CLICK ON ONE OF HIS VIDEOS AND BECOME INSPIRED BY JOE, AND REALIZE WHAT HES WANTS TO DO WITH THE REST OF HIS LIFE...IF IT WERE MY KID? THIS IS THE STUFF ID WANT HIM TO SEE....BECAUSE SOME CONTENT I SEE OUT THERE, THAT YOUNG KIDS ARE GETTING INTO, IS SCARY! WE NEED EMERALD CITY, BONAMASSA, AND THE REST O THE BLUES GUITAR WORLD TO KEEP PUSHING THIS STUFF, BECAUSE MOST OF THE ALTERNATIVES, ARE DANGEROUS, NOT TO MENTION THE BLUES JUST ROCKS!' KEEP 'EM COMIN!

[@toddmoore2324]

Wow! Great video! JB shops at my buddy Don's place Highland Music 🎶 in Birmingham Alabama when he's in town. Grabbed a KLON and a cool vintage sign that's now at Nerdville East! Thanks, Emerald City! Rock on!

[@jerryvahnknight218]

His tone is ridiculous!🤘

[@carliniguitar]

I fly jets for a living and every now and then I have a layover in Seattle. Emerald City always is worth a visit to see what they've got, one of these days I am going to walk out of there much poorer!

[@aaronwinter1092]

It’s weird not seeing him at Norm’s.

[@mikaelflodstrom6370]

Like a candy store for guitar people. The mouth is watering.🤤

[@taufiqandikajazzer]

Glad to see him there.. Humble guitarist..

[@PawpawJamz]

Absolute Monster. What a cool guy.

[@ithrial]

I just got a PRS CU24 10-Top from these guys and they were awesome. They let me take a conference call in their bass room since I was still working lol

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Joe coming out with his “nerdville” series made me a lot bigger fan. You can tell it was painful to do for him because he’s such a private person but it showed just how much of a guitar savant he is. His knowledge of guitars and amps is scary.

[@sergiomozdzenskijr.9246]

You guys are the best in guitar content videos. Love Trevor, Love Joe. Cheers 🇧🇷

[@ParkerPPipe]

I like when people try to talk to Joe and he just blankly stares at them while noodling on guitar. The guy has had THE best gear since he started. Never had to pull his shit out of pawn, never had to struggle. Joe is the kid whose parents bought him a brand new Gibson LP while you’re playing the pawn shop special. At least he can play.

[@mkilner]

Wish this was longer, so cool, keep on Rockin!! :)

[@alansmith7626]

Joe, you like guitars like I like cars, and car parts! I get it! Thnaks for sharing this!

What an amazing legend!!! Superb musician. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@jimmiefarmer3022]

[@ulissespacifico]

This is awesome!! Such cool dude.

[@LeanBackMac]

I talked with Big D when Joe was here and he mentioned that gold top with the shaved neck, thing just has to be wild. I love the 60's slim taper necks but gold top finishes are my favorite. Just wouldn't want a 68 with the minibuckers.

[@fullwaverecked]

Yeah, that sideways look... Priceless!

[@tracyfarmer2287]

So cool. ❤

[@BobMaulucci]

Really nicely filmed guys, great episode.

[@sheriffdohboy]

When he takes a deep breath at 1:36 holding that TV Junior after hearing the “has that guy paid for it yet comment in the background?” I think Joe was thinking to himself….”yep I suppose I have to make room for this one now”

[@patmayer7222]

...land o' lakes,wi.....BEST BONAMASSA MOMENT,,,,,,,,......when he's on stage,with his band,and blows up an amp during a tune,,,,,,switches over to a backup,,,,and procedes into an incredible run to finish the tune,,,,just,WOW. 😈😈

Great content

[@noahmichael2213]

I know Joe is known for playing les pauls, but i've always thought he sounds better with a strat in his hands

[@30smsuperstrat]

I, too, preferred his playing when he was known for playing custom strats.

[@wakjob961]

He started with strats and tweed amps. Bob Aquaviva turned him onto LP's and Jubilee's.

[@rolfjohnson3827]

Hej plays everything. LP, strats, teles. His favourite is an old Tele.

[@heinerperdomo]

Did he buy anything?

so hw many did Joe buy......The man loves the instrument ....

[@MrBeblis]

Wish I could afford a nice guitar, maybe in my next life

[@BIZARBIES]

There are nice guitars out there that you can afford. Not vintage, but nice guitars. Find a nice MIJ mid 80s Squire Stratocaster. Have it refinished with nitro or don't. If your a player there are great guitars for playing, people with money buy guitars that are vintage to collect, or are rockstars that have techs that are taking care of the guitars.

[@StandbyCymbalist]

joe wanted that strat.

[@bohdan_bond]

👏

[@rschelyoung8705]

It's like a guitar orphanage - the masters bring out the children for the rich but caring Mr bonammassa - one of them may be destined for a blessed future on the road... But Mr bonammassa has many children and if you're not special enough he may save his scholarship grant for the next orphanage/guitar shop... I feel I may have overstretched this metaphor

Hey Joe. Hand that Stratocaster to Aaron Heibert. See what happens.

He did! He invited Aaron along with the crew at ECG back stage before the show. Aaron was caught off guard when Joe told Aaron to go through his rack and play some guitars on stage stage with his full setup. Aaron said it was a dream of a lifetime and got to play several of his guitars. Joe was really cool and treated everyone really well.
