Joe Bonamassa Plays His First Fender Guitars | Fender Artist Check-In | Fender

[@allthingsclassicrock]

Joe has grown on me through the years. Can’t say I’m the biggest fan of his music, but he’s a great player and authentic good human being.

[@charlieplate9687]

Most people hop into the peanut gallery and never leave . Good for you

[@Dirtydrock001]

He’s a good dude down to earth playing amazing his voice just really can’t get into his lyrics and songs but playing yeah for sure

[@keddy5627]

Enjoy it…?!!!! Drive is Heaven on Earth!!!!!

[@susankraft77]

Drive is one of my favorite songs. It takes me back to my pre-disabilty days when I drove thousand of miles trying to outrun depression. What a treat to hear you sing it here. Thanks, Joe. God Bless all!!

[@diment0857]

I am 10 years older than this man and like him have been playing guitar since my early teens. Of course I can't touch him but his talent, work ethic, humility and kindness can touch me. Big time. Thank you Joe Bonamassa.

[@VonBluesman]

I had a 1972 Strat bought new when I was 15 years old, out the door with hard shell case and tax $426.97. It was the wood grain finish butterscotch color with a white pick guard and maple neck. It was immaculate but needed a refret, one of the workers fell on it and broke the neck pocket, a tone knob, and scratched it all up. Heartbreaker. They paid me $2000 but you could not replace the guitar because of the condition, I am diagnosed OCD and keep my guitars, amps, pedals, etc, all in excellent condition. I love your videos Joe. I just watched your video last night with Brad Paisley, he is hilarious at times, a real good guy and one heck of an outstanding musician. His tele’ s need a 5 way switch with an afterburner engagement. Man he sure can play. Joe you have become one of the best artist in the world. All the different genres of blues songs you absolutely nail, plus your original music is phenomenal. Hope to see you in concert when this Coronavirus blows over. Until then, please keep on posting videos and doing interviews. Thank you very, very much. 🎸👍👌🙏✌️😎

[@63mymojo]

Legend in his own lifetime, guitar custodian..... and one hellava nice human !!!

[@VlrGuitarWorld]

A great guitarist, singer & songwriter...talented man..bluesman.

[@lukapuletic9742]

Such a humble and nice guy. He did so much for young musicians and charity also. He influenced thousands of guitarists including me, with his attack on string, timing.. What an important person for blues guitar and todays blues music. Thank you Joe from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

[@jhhag]

The Strat sounds great, but the spring reverb sounds FANTASTIC💫💥

[@jerrylake6825]

I second that Fender, Joe deserves his own signature guitar...

[@joeurbanowski321]

He’s got one now.. Gibson Lazarus LP… retro neck..which I find hard to play…. But it’s really pretty..👍🏼

[@KickArs]

Trust me. We're the crowd and we all applauded. We are just belated. You're the man!

[@markmartin3221]

Some songs make people feel different feelings. Drive had a “wicked game” to it, love to hear you get together with Chris Issack after a surf session and cruise some songs together

[@abortsocialism5905]

I really like his humility, and his elite playing.

[@metalcavy33]

Joes collection is unreal.

[@deriangueldner23]

😂🤣😂😂

[@deriangueldner23]

Tom Johnson was kinda surprised to hear strings ringing out more than once. Maybe I’m just being picky as this is something I’ve been playing close attention to lately in my playing and struggle with

[@elonmust7470]

No.

[@guitaraficionado8145]

Come on Fender, give Bonanmassa his own Custom Shop Guitar. That would be so cool.

[@wrenf22]

He would probably buy them all for his collection.

[@dr.stonks9911]

Typical selfish boomer. Hoarding everything good with their millions of dollars and away from the hands of actual musicians who might want to create music. When they’re all dead, these guitars will be affordable again because you won’t have anyone willing to spend 50,000 dollars on a les Paul.

[@RobertoSunga]

@@dr.stonks9911 He's actually a musician who creates music with those guitars, he takes them out on the road.

[@Jason-kv7cm]

Dr. Stonks there’s an endless amount of strats out there you’re acting like there’s a shortage and he’s hoarding them all and people can’t produce? Moron.

[@cardbored_]

@@dr.stonks9911 bitterness sucks doesn’t it?

[@phildiegidio4658]

We should all be so lucky. Thanks Joe for all of the great music. Don't stop.

[@mitemejia]

He had recently collab with Epiphone on a new LP model. Now Fender calls him to this beatutiful perfomance. Joe is loved by both legendary brands. So proud of him!

[@coachschmiede]

One of the few, true guardians of Blues!

[@donnabost4445]

i know i am a bit late but Drive is my favorite, it feeds me.....love music, thank you JoeB for all you do

[@leefrienduk]

The song Drive reminds me of something Chris Isaak would have wrote back in the mid-1980s. Its a great song.

[@srh413]

It uses “similar” chords as wicked game, great tune. Incredible solo

[@atllzable]

Just wanted to say "Thanks" to Joe for making himself "accessible" to all of us....Thanks Joe..:)

[@morbius1189]

I know you can’t hear me but I am applauding you and screaming... encore! Encore!!! Thank you and the live stream concert was great!! It was a birthday gift from my wife. Best gift ever!!

[@kevinkimball152]

First time I heard about Joe was in a record store, they were playing his first record as a promo to a local concert the next day. I went to the local venue and bought tickets at the door. It was a small place here in Vermont. Hardly anyone there.. What a show! He killed it! Met him after the show and spoke with him for a bit... super shy and humble. I told him he's gonna be big. Great memory

[@stevejewett3650]

I really like that song, Joe. It tells a story and has kind of a mystical melancholy feel. Thank you for sharing.

[@digiwaves]

"And the crowd would cheer..." Nothing like being a little humble Joe!

[@e.tienne6600]

digiwaves “Night life” is a good song

[@Hatari2]

Tom Johnson I have one question why are you even here? I mean the title tells you who it is so, if you don’t like him don’t watch.

[@jydymyyyr9630]

And Joe has sold more albums, performed more concerts and made more people happy than all those so called Gr8 bar guitarists. If you don’t like Joe go watch something else!

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Wow that tremolo or vibrato effect sounds so honey sweet !! Love it

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

Joe is the coolest nerd. From one nerd to another

[@antoniocolella8388]

W Strat 🎸 W Fender. Thanks Leo.

[@GuitarExpress]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us mortals Joe. Keep up the good work!

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Cool, your first Fender Strat is probably one of the 1st 3 bolt/neck tilt models! Turn the Reverb on the 55 Stratocaster is perfect ...good song..reminds me of the Doors and that's a good thing. Esteem has risen as of now. Groovy...bravo"cheers" 👏👏👏

[@Songbird477]

Most beautiful version - 🥰🔥🥰

[@mikealexander5550]

I love the subtitles listing the music as cheerful and lighthearted 😂

[@jeremybatson5712]

I applauded, beautiful song and perfect dynamics. Thank you.

[@mannyfragoza9652]

i love that solo rendition of Drive and Bless you for all the charity work you do

[@ryanboshell6124]

I’ve JUST finished watching his latest Gibson video. How crazy.

[@zhentoro]

Same haha.

[@ryanboshell6124]

Zhentoro well good wasn’t it? I’d love to have a cup of Joe, with Joe.

[@chris_2714]

Same. I'm a diehard Fender fan, but those Gibson videos are great!

[@ryanboshell6124]

Chris T yeah, I like that they’re not afraid to show both brands.

[@rohanb9874]

He does call himself a predominately a Fender player. Good one though.

[@riittahatinen4579]

Sooo awesome guitars and you JOE❤️

[@stratjed]

Utica NY beautiful rust city . Cold brutal winters ! Home of Joe !

[@RastaSaiyaman]

For those not in the know: Joe actually was featured in a nineties Fender Ad for Squier guitars. When he was still going under his original stage name "Smokin' Joe Bonamassa"

[@RastaSaiyaman]

@Tom Johnson And what have YOU been doing so far?

[@ATX0705]

@@RastaSaiyaman That's just a troll who's bitter that it's never been laid. Best to just ignore and not respond to it.

[@williammontgomery6132]

Answers my question about the red fenders pickgaurd Smokin Joe .

[@allthingsclassicrock]

@Tom Johnson I’m not particularly a Bonamassa fan but to say he stinks at guitar is just ludicrous. Weak bait.

[@MRPERFECT_79]

Tom Johnson you stink at life

[@thefirstdude]

I enjoy what you do Joe-the music, the videos, showing off your arsenal, and your nerdiness. Thanks for sharing!

[@aussie_philosopher8079]

Drive, one of my favorite songs.

[@idylldon]

That '55 hardtail Strat sounds great! Ronnie Wood sometimes plays a '55 hardtail as well. I have a '56 hardtail and it's the finest sounding Strat I've owned in my 50 years of playing. Great era for guitars.

[@nicktognella3085]

Thanks JB...appreciate you sharing this song! Applause!

[@thomasberinati3380]

Great to see you joe. Can’t wait for the live show !

[@wingdwolf56]

Amazing talent who seems like such a regular guy! He’s done so much for blues and music in general! I become more of a fan every time I see him!

[@joeurbanowski321]

He IS a regular guy… Sometimes I feel bad for him.. I don’t think he’s in a relationship… and those guitars are cold at night..under the covers…

[@CaterinaCarlone]

Top Guitarist ! Bonamassa the Best !!!

[@alejandroangeles8587]

Joe deserves a Signature both in Gibson and in Fender as well...

[@riittahatinen4579]

Thank you sooo much for this song JOE❤️ Lets Drive🚘 I Love You😘❤️🌹💋💕

[@KennyLeee1]

Hi Joe this is Kenny thank you for all My music is in spired By all the old blues players And keep it up keep on

[@Hhenriette]

amazing this intimate beautiful song. thank you @JoeBonamassaTV and @Fender

[@TMCMR]

JB is the real deal. It’s crazy but I think his songwriting is just starting to peak. Cheers

[@joeurbanowski321]

Really nice tune.. the reverb near the end makes it eerily cool…👍🏼

The clarity on that 55'

Joe is the signature guitarist of mutiple brand guitars. Joe has established his own click in the industry....I like Joe just as Joe is. I hope to meet and hang out with him someday....to sign my guitar

[@e.tienne6600]

Thank YOU Joe! Yes the crowd would cheer as a thank you , for the time being we can only write and click for most of us. Very nice song and sound, keep up the blues alive! Also adding this comment so that the one below the video is not appearing by default anymore ;-). Calling for humility... think of what a true musical artist life is about. Music be the food of love!

[@jeffbriggs4268]

Awesome video Joe! I love Fender guitars and amps. Your collection is spectacular! I don't think I've heard you do much country picking and I think you could be great at this style of playing. I loved your song. The tremolo or vibe adds a lot to it.

[@erichebert582]

Can’t wait for the concert on Sunday!

Thank you Joe !

Great, to hear you sing, again!

[@O5wa1d]

Lovely song. I'm cheering.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Wonder had i kept the guitar playing going when i was 7 instead of going to drums and keys where I'd be as a guitarist. I gave drums 27 years only to switch in 2018 to guitar. I've been in serious love.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Thanks to David Gilmour and my son.

[@orlock20]

There are many multi instrumentalists with many being hard to tell what was their main instrument.

[@robertclarkguitar]

@@orlock20 that is so true. Ironic enough ive yet to play a kit on my channel other than keyyboard beating on keys. Hahahah

I love "Drive" and this solo version. The keyboard warrior comments about "too much reverb" give me a chuckle. No such thing as too much reverb...

[@michaelnedoshytko6920]

Those 2 guitars are awesome. My dad has both of them. The Strat is a 74, close enough, in original natural finish. And the tele custom is an '84 62 reissue in the candy apple red finish; great Fender japan guitars. Joe Barden pickups were hard to come by in Canada back in the 80s and 90s.

[@caster3283]

All those guitars are ideal for playing lighthearted guitar music.
