Joe Bonamassa joins Guthrie Trapp at Kitchen Downtown in Nashville playing Grammatico Tweed Pro Amp

Joe Bonamassa sits in with Guthrie Trapp at the Kitchen Downtown in Nashville. Joe plays a Grammatico Amps Tweed Pro style amplifier with a 15" speaker. His Fender Esquire was plugged straight in. Solo at 3:45 Jimmy Wallace on keyboard, Nick Govrik on bass, Josh Hunt on drums. Look who else walks in ;)

Oh man that's the first thing came to my mind 1 minute into the song. Sooooo tight.

honestly my favourite style of drumming this, nothing showy, no frill, just pure groove that when it finishes you realise you’ve been nodding your head nonstop for the entire duration of the song

[@martincaz7772]

7:20 Damn, I'm like...ok let's see what Guthrie's gonna come back at Bonamassa with, cos we know it's gonna be an all-in killer solo...and then, I'm like oh look those folks are coming in right for the solo and .....wait, what? that beard... it's effing Billy Gibbons ???? wtf seriously :D A "normal" weekend at Nashville I guess lol

"Glyde Plays Electric Base" One of my favorite songs growing up I loved the song! But I know these two guys are supposed to be Nashville's premier guitar players and I know there trying to make the song their own (but), I absolutely hated it from a fan perspective!! You know kind of like American Idol where it seems the only winners are the ones that sing all these (runs) and who can sing the highest notes...that's just not what country music is, and neither is seeing how many or how fast you can run through scales!! I'm 65 played my whole life and (yes) these two are way better at guitar then I will ever be (but), I guarantee I could do this song way better (making it my own) to where the listeners would prefer mine over their version (without) all the needless (endless) scale runs their jamming into their version (with all due respect)!

I think while "runs and scales" are valuable tools for guitarists, it's essential for you to balance technical proficiency with musicality and creativity. Overemphasis on technical exercises at the expense of musical expression can lead to sterile and uninspired playing. Ultimately, the goal for every guitarist even me is to use runs and scales as means of enhancing your musical storytelling and connecting with the audience on a deeper level. Scales provide a roadmap for navigating through chord progressions and creating cohesive musical phrases on the fly, but at some point, you just have to realize you're going deeper into a rabbit hole you might not be able to pull yourself out of.....too many scales and runs can burry you and I think that's what is happening here!! Granted Guthrie seems to be better than most at getting "somewhere" then back again not burying himself but still I think there needs to be a vibrant independent country music scene where artists can push boundaries and experiment with new sounds while still staying true to the roots of country music. Just an honest opinion from a nobody!
