Joe Bonamassa's Nerdville East Tour with The Guitar Center Music Foundation

[@joshuahymer15]

Hard working guy. Will go down as one of the greatest of all time. Gets a lot of grief I do not understand.

[@brucechavez9535]

Joe was born a guitarist and will always be a guitarist until his last breath. And this is why I've got big respect and admiration for this man. You're one of my inspiration and heroes, Joe, keep on rocking. God bless.

[@timesurfingalien]

More talent in his pinky than the entire top ten on the radio

[@lukewake3908]

Joe Bo, an absolute legend. Even if you don't like his playing, you have to admire his level of guitar geek. Keep on keeping on, Joe

[@tonygriffiths2485]

IMHO Joe's voice is like a fine wine, improving with age. What a fantastic musician he truly is. We are all very lucky to get to witness all this.

[@MikeC.11]

I get the impression Joe enjoys sharing his love for the gear and the story behind each piece even more than owning it.

[@pibba]

Dude. You are a gentleman, well spoken and talented. Much respect...we are birds of a feather my friend. Shine on.

[@Michael777Simmons]

I love old worked guitars. No over priced Gibson Stolen Valor guitars here. Thank you Joe for being real and keeping guard at the gate to Guitar Heaven...

[@TheMusicfan189]

That Nocaster is one of the best sounding guitars I have ever heard in my life, wow.

[@bucket303]

Mr Joe Bonamassa, keeping music dreams alive...and keeping the power company in business!

[@wildbilldurkin1493]

He has the perfect spot for Nerdville East. Nashville Skyline, indeed.

[@deeburk3870]

I've been listening to him for over 20 years he is awesome awesome 😎😎😎😎😎

[@glennkemp6565]

Thanks for playing Walking Towards the Daylight. One of my favorite songs of all time. Back when I bought CDs.

[@CS-yj8sd]

Joe's place is so cool that you can just plug into a couch pillow and it sounds good.

[@barrettwissell9708]

Best bluesman of all time. End of story.

[@alanfletcher7288]

Was at the show last night in Augusta. Great show! Was at the Fox in Atl. Last year. Keep rocking. Thanks for being the man.

[@muffinsmommy1]

Fantastic! Love these inside glimpses into what makes Joe tick. He makes you smarter just by listening to him. Thank you Joe!

[@muffinsmommy1]

Jay Jay And you felt compelled to respond? Yeah. Back under your bridge.

[@dannyj5974]

@Jay Jay go listen to ppcocaine

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

Thanks for the hang out and showing me around your place. So cool to listen to you play and hear you talk about your collection.

[@johnnymcquinn6025]

You're the only artist I have seen multiple times in concert. My favorite to say the least. And the way you give like these videos. Been through a bad time and stopped playing, working on, doing anything with guitar. As soon as i start back after 8 months I see this video. Thank you. I am a disabled veteran with not any reason to smile. You left me smiling.

[@Johnny6666]

Hey man, I hope things take a turn for the better in your life. Keep playing - it will help! Best wishes. :)

[@mailchat2016]

Ciao, greetings from Italy , Bonamassa's origin country, a great hug 😊

[@martymcpeak4748]

People hate on Joe, but he loves music and instruments and seems to be a genuinely good guy.

[@johnbohlinger]

Thanks, Joe, for Fueling Musicians. You make 615 even cooler.

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

Been a fan since I saw a special on Vermont Public Television pledge drive about 10 years ago and they were giving tickets to a show here in Montreal if you pledged. Well, when I watched the pledge show and they put Joe on, my jaw dropped. I was amazed at his playing technique and what seemed a real blues mojo for such a young player( at the time). I have his CD in the car radio of himself and the fantastic, amazing new Queen of the Blues, Beth Hart ( Live in Amsterdam), aside from many other cd’s of his music.It’s set on “RPT” and it goes wherever I go. I wish Joe the best on his journey with the Blues and I really feel that he’s now carrying the Torch for the sound, the feeling, we call the Blues. Keep on Rocking! 🤘🎸🇨🇦. And you played with Joanna Connor, kudos my man, well done.... she’s also on my KZbin subscriber list. The greatest tribute I witnessed, by Joe when he did the Royal Albert Hall concert, was when he played THE Strat of the Ages, the ‘61 Strat that was played by my ULTIMATE ( sorry Joe ) Blues guitarist, the late Great Rory Gallagher, who I’ve followed religiously since 1973, when I bought Tattoo, which 47 years later, I still have the original vinyl. Thanks Joe for that 🤟🏻🤟🏻 , it was a great memory.

[@Cali559]

Thank you Joe! I live out my guitar geekiness through your videos. I could never afford even one of those priceless instruments, but I get to see them, hear them, and learn their story from you. How cool is that! I appreciate your openess and willingness to share yourself and your passion with us lowly musicians (guitar freeks). Your music is salve to the soul, espresso for the spirit! I love your Redemption CD, and when you team with Beth Hart... Oh, the house is burnin' down! Great stuff Mr. Bonamassa! May God bless you and keep you strong and healthy. We need more musicians like you, humble, kind, giving, and down to earth. Two thumbs up! I'd give you more, but I only have two...

[@timothycormier3494]

This guys doing pretty well for a night watchman at norms guitar shop😁

[@thomasmorrison3279]

Outstanding guitar player and humble guy. Each one of those 1959 Les Paul's is probably $200k or more.

[@douglaszolton8985]

Thank You Joe for caring about Guitar history. You are not only a Great guitarist,but a fine person.I hope you can buy many, many more wonderful instruments to rescue.

[@bmorebob6624]

Love Joe. His sustained passion is impressive and is what separates the hobbyist from the masters

[@pops71]

Beside the fact that Mr B is a crushing player, he is just a cool guy. He makes no apologies for the fact that, like myself, buying stuff makes him happy.

[@gregthornton4209]

Joe is a hero to the industry, as well as the Art...thank you, JB

[@RobYoungband]

Such an incredibly talented, humble fellow.

[@M._Lou]

Thank you, Joe. That was great. It was meaningful.

[@homeskateco.538]

Driving towards Daylight was amazing. Your voice is incredibly good, and it's a great piece of songwriting too. Excellent!

[@christopherblessing3868]

I came across joe by accident and boy am I glad I did! He is an amazing guitar player! One of the best I've ever heard !

[@Momiyama808]

Quality and Integrity. I saw him in Iowa City many years ago at the Englert. He shredded the house down. Bonamassa rules. Cheers!

[@jjstudiosjj2408]

Love the nerdville series! Joe you Def speak my language I’m loving the signs the history the guitars the gear thanks a million!

[@ricksnyder4338]

So WOW! This made my night. Got to actually sit back tonight and enjoy some videos and here comes Joe. I totally enjoyed this, it was almost like being there. I sat at my computer and grabbed my Strat plucked some strings and got to hang with Joe Bonamassa. Awesome. And when you pulled out that Gold Top I lost it. So want one bad. Awesome Awesome time Joe.

[@Bubba0874]

Joe, Thank you for all your historic narration! You are a fountain of knowledge! Awesome !

Joe ..your gift is from a HEAVEN....one of a kind..the love you have moved music. Too a new level. .and you feel music.and play the love..thank you Joe.. No one can touch your love or feeling...keep it up. Love you new song.....can not hear enough .love your voice..feeling..the notes..living your life your way.....

[@philfyphil]

I love his attitude. Guitars are tools, spot on. He is the sort of guy who if you met him he would hand you is quarter of a million pound Les Paul to have a go on.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

16:30 Joe finally realizes this is all extreme.

[@jamiematthias2620]

A tip: you can watch movies on kaldrostream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.

I recognized the multicolored chairs on his patio from hanging on the side of a building cleaning windows nearby, Ha!

[@TheKorysmith]

Now I know why my cousin bought a Fender Bandmaster amp for his new Fender Jaguar back in 1964 at a Fender studio in West Allis Wisconsin. It was the first electric guitar I ever played and went on to own several over the years and you signed an older one that showed being played a lot! You signed it at a Gibson studio next to the mall in Fort Wayne, In. and you said it looked cool! You filled in the blanks for me with that 1964 sign! Thank You! you are the best!

[@scottmccurdy4445]

Is Joe doing his acoustic, mellow, theme, this time through? Perfection is a profane ideal, in this old boy's mind. That said, Joe's effort, and sincerity, always make it worthwhile visiting his live performances, for us. See ya there Man

[@TerrieSnyder]

Love this song.. going to Nashville in late September and want to know if tours of nerdville are available

[@shelleywallace1228]

What an incredible exceptional collection... how fun to hear you explain all this great stuff. Knowledge is off the charts of history for all of it. You’re an old soul Joe! 💖😎

I love that all of these get used or just played for fun of not on tour. Would be a shame if all collectors hid away the great collections of things and history for no body else to ever see, hear and just enjoy. Good on you Joe.

The bloom on those notes from Lazarus 🥰 And I've never heard a Nocaster that sounded like that. That middle position ...gah! Thank you Joe for being a regular Joe instead of a rock star

I'm really into musical home decor. I have mostly Fender decor scattered through out my apt including the bathroom along with my 17 guitars which is mostly various modded Strats and Epis (Poor man's Gibson). 2 Les Pauls, 1 Les Paul Special, 1 SG, and a V. I love my Epi's. They look great, they sound great, and they feel great. Joe it was a great show you put on in our small town of Las Cruces, NM. at The Rio Grande Theater back in Oct 2007. Me and my buddies met you and your band out back of the theater and you signed my A New Day Yesterday cd on the pic where your holding a Tele. (Dammit I should have brought one of my guitars!) Awesome tour! Hope to see you play again here in the in the borderland region (El Paso, S. NM) sometime in the near future.
