Josh is a monster of a player. Its a shame to see him support other acts when he is so much more talented and, his chops will leave you stuck to your seat and wanting more!!! Chris

[@yuliefelice5643]

Would love to see more of Josh’s blues rhythm lessons ❤

[@EshockT]

Check out his Flat V series of lessons on his website.

Great lesson. It is all connected. Love this guy and others like him who can set a groove by themselves and improvise over it at the same time.

[@cooghoublaga7555]

Always a pleasure to watch Josh, and always hours of work after a 10 minute video, great stuff as ever !

[@davidwright9550]

Josh we already know what an amazing picker you are, but your being the #2 guy when playing with Joe B tells us all how humble of a guy you are. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with all of us and nothing bet the very best to you.

[@akustickesrdce4690]

Thanks Josh for the great tip, absolutely agree. I practice rythm, groove & even my singing phrasing became better & solo too. All the best, Peter.

[@jcsk8]

Thanks for that. Make my sunday better. Josh is a fenomenal player.

[@marcmelissa8752]

What the heck? Unreal, THE best guitarist Ive ever heard. Thank you Josh

[@tanukibrahma]

This is brilliant. I think it comes naturally to do this if you play a lot of guitar. But we don’t always think of it quite that way.

[@BrianLeverett]

I got to see Josh last night in Macon, Georgia because he’s playing with Joe Bonamassa. Wow! Phenomenal!

[@BGsea]

What up Josh! Late to the big myriad party but better than never🎉. People forget Jimi played rhythm for well over half his career

[@fredjaeger690]

I’m 65, just retired and devoting my time to guitar. This is great advice- thank you!

[@davidcoolkid15]

Wow. Amazing Lesson. I will start trying this for sure!

[@moreorlesslikeso]

Some very valuable advice from Josh - if you listen to his music you can really hear how it infuses his playing at all times. Actually W.A. Mozart is said to have stated back in the day that time is actually more essential to making great music than harmony or melody. Although some people might possibly argue about that, I find myself tending to agree more and more (to him and Josh) over all those years I've been playing guitar... Last but not least: another guitarist I’d definitely recommend to watch (and listen to) in this respect is Oz Noy - he, too, is a true "rhythm beast" in every aspect of his playing!

[@mikeguitarist]

Josh is the guy! seen him along side with Bonamassa, does his job well

[@Jeffum111]

I wish I knew you were out here, I would have came to visit. Be a long time since I've see you Josh.

[@_Dominant_7_Flat_5]

Yup…the main model is Ibanez AZS…Josh’s model is based on that. Really cool model

[@soniah4821]

“Time is the great divider”.

[@Return2TheLiving]

Last time I saw him he was playing a 7 string Jackson BK. Wild shift

[@daustin777]

What mic is that on his amp? 1973?

[@marcmelissa8752]

I bet he can groove on the drums too, how bout a Josh Smith drum video?

[@ronconnatser8889]

Where can I get a guitar like that. Is that one of your signatures?

[@ibinTZY]
