I fully believe that this man has magic fingers! Last night I went to see Joe Bonamassa with my father at Count Basie! (Or as we joke around and call him "Joe B") Such a privilege to see such great talent.... I would even put him on the same lines as Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. The way he plays is unbelivable!!!
The whole time during the show we kept looking at each other saying, "how is he doing that??!!" It literally sounds like a five piece band coming out of his 1 guitar! As Joe was greeting the crowd, he had said how after coming out with 13 albums he has yet to have a hit song! I couldn't believe it!! Someone with that type of talent starting at the age of 12 when he opened for BB King!
Bonamassa said the first song he learned to play in full was "Further On Up The Road." He got to play that song along with a long time idle, Eric Clapton at The Royal Albert Hall. That video id featured above, along with my own video from last night of his acoustic guitar solo! Guess what Joe ended the concert with last night.... Whole Lotta Love! If anyone was meant to play Zeppelin or atleast try to replicate Page, he's the man to do it!
Let Joe B give you an education in Blues and Rock 'n' Roll!!
