Josh Smith and Matt Schofield - Crosscut Saw

[@robwickham2025]

always come back to this video, time and time again. Both Josh and Matt are huge inspirations for me to keep the blues in my playing, I'd love to catch them live once this Covid BS is over. thanks for all the great music guys!

[@NotMarkKnopfler]

Josh and Matt, for sure. But what about some love for the rhythm section. Drummer and bass player killing it. Totally on it.

[@seanthomasmusic]

The way these guys improvise and connect their phrases is purely poetic and wholsesome

[@stephencomstock1625]

wow...just discovered you two...thx man....another source of joy and inspiration....and lessons too...lol

[@1AnitrasDance]

Wow, that's the brightest lighting I've ever seen at the Baked Potato! Usually so dark there. What a treat for the people at this show to see both Josh and Matt playing together! Would have loved to have been there.

[@bobbyruggs808]

Both these guys are monster players. I hope the audience knows how lucky they are to have witnnesed this shootout. Josh your tone and phrasing on this track was exceptional.

[@danielellisporter]

Man this has to be my favorite clip of Matt. Some really tasty playing and wandering in and out of the blues box. So sweet

[@LUckybones25]

Josh, you are phenomenal. I hope one day you will get the recognition that you deserve. You should be up there with Joe B. in popularity.

[@jangorenard]

Josh is greatest guitar player that I have been listening to since 5 years !

[@rgbplumbinghilton]

Living in the UK we miss out on great music like this!! I found +Josh Smith last week and wow what a find!! I have seen Matt before in the UK and he is great. To see them both together in the UK would be awesome!

[@ramilrodriguez8340]

Each and every one did great!! That includes the drums and bass. About the guitars, well, magnificent!! Love both players performances. Different lines, different licks, different tone but, both so good. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks!!

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

I'd never watched one of your videos before, really inventive stuff Josh, nice!

[@JoshSmithGuitar]

Thanks man!

[@Hsandov8175]

Josh i hope you know that you're an inspiration to me and to so many other players. Its a pleasure listening to you play the blues. Thanks for the great licks.

[@bluesboyz]

This is one of the most intelligent conversation I have ever heard amongst two blues guitarist. Great work Fellas!

[@drumbeater0]

That drummer has to be the most complementary drummer I’ve ever heard yet he stays deep in he pocket. Wonderful clip!

[@lpgoog]

These two guys are as good as it gets:-) You can't play any tastier than that! Damn!

[@funkadelic1967]

I can't stop watching this vid! Outstanding playing from both. The improvisation is great too, you can feel the struggle but both Josh and Matt resolve the tension every time....Fucking Ace!!!!

[@alexconerly8237]

Beautiful playing. I love the phrasing. Not over-playing either. The space between the phrases... tasty. Thanks for sharing your music with the world. All the best

[@timdrain9535]

Beautiful. I think Albert would be proud

[@JimPoston1]

Aaaaamazing... These two are so evenly matched and sooooo gifted it's simply amazing!!! Keep on pickin and grinnin!!

[@markwathen7600]

You guys are lifers for life 🎵🎶🎵💙🇺🇸

[@sam127001]

such a wonderful scene - the way you two were finishing each others sentences - awesome !

[@nogueira-lopesalexandre1337]

josh you re a very rare and talented guitaristyou and matt youre a breath of fresh air for the music

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

two great blues guitarists of our time. Great stuff

[@jimlassen9422]

Very lovely playing chaps. Really liked the guitar interplaying and the bass and drum backing stuff. All Credit to you all.

[@sumoblues]

all that jazzy-extended-chromatic playing is fine and dandy, but it's when they summon their inner Albert King and Albert Collins is when my ears perk up! Great stuff!

[@jeramynorris6522]

That's right. Call me old fashioned but contentment in using the basics is still the most attractive blues guitar. Add too much and it becomes acrobatic and not aromatic with the stank. If you know what I mean.

[@kenster865]

So sweet! Both you guys are pinnacles of great playing! Man, what a delight to watch and listen to both of you, especially at the end where you two are trading licks off. It doesn't get much better than that and that's the damn truth. :)

[@bsdaldal]

I just lost my will to live...These guys are on a whole new level of awesome.

[@sunburntaquaticape6694]

Absolutely fantastic! Awesome improv and phrasing! Loved it, thanks! Probably gonna watch again lol!

[@benzuckerman]

Awesome. I am so impressed by the great sound - both guitar and vocals. Really has the "Albert King Sound and Feel". Stunning.

[@joeurbanowski321]

I never realized Josh Smith could belt out those lowdown bluesy vocals..!!❤️👍🏼

[@primolandia]

Great time that you had and provide us! :D thanks for sharing!

[@sumoblues]

This is worthy of an Albert King "Woooo"!

[@pauljude]

Love it. Phenomenal playing and song.

[@coolbreeze2000]

Both awesome, so much feel and talent.

[@stevemacneil4819]

One of my favourite player finds, josh you are what next level players strive play like, very cool session.

[@northbayguitar]

Really nice, Josh and Matt! Great sound, and the bass and drum sound is is x rated. Reminds me of that low down n dirty sound of Harvey Brooks, back in the day with the Electric Flag. Excellent!

[@iansnyder274]

holy shit Josh..you are soo locked in and ,dare I say, tying Matt up in knots!. I can feel him almost gettin'there..he he . World class man and used to live across the street from Antones years ago..I have heard many when I lived and played in Austin

[@Online_ToughGuy]

Man...I’ve seen you all over the place in different snippets/interviews/rundowns and shakedowns and knew you were a next level player....but I’ve never heard you sing before this video. You have a powerful voice and presence behind the microphone!

[@JoshSmithGuitar]

Thanks!

[@armandopace8559]

Josh, you are both great players! I love how you play the blues. Really tasty and soulful way. Although great tone too!Keep it going!

Live for Matt’s feel. But damn Josh got that neck so well mastered he can do things on a melodic level that Matt can’t but matt can genuinely out blues him straight up. Great to see them next to each other.
