Blues shredder extraordinaire Joe Bonamassa joins Shred With Shifty for an extra-long, Les Paul-powered episode.
Shifty sits down with Bonamassa for this special episode of Shred With Shifty. No surprise that both of them reach for their Les Pauls, and Bonamassa even reveals why he switched from Strats to Gibsons in the early 2000s.
Bonamassa is known for his dazzling collection of vintage guitars-which he says has become a target for haters-but he explains that you don’t need a ’58 Les Paul to get the goods. “It’s also the mystique,” he says. “If Jimmy Page played a Tokai, everyone would want a Tokai.” A guitar made two weeks ago, he says, is just as good as a classic.
Bonamassa’s lightning-quick soloing style, which conjures a hurricane of major and minor pentatonic notes with some phrygian flair, is the stuff of legend, and his tricks on “Blues Deluxe” are plenty. Even though he tries to adhere to a “divide by two” rule to simplify his phrasings, he still stumps Shiflett with a volume swell trick he learned from Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton.
This solo is no walk in the park. Any brave takers up for giving it a shot? Share it and tag us so Shifty can have a look! Most importantly, remember to have fun. “Do whatever you want with the damn thing,” says Bonamassa. “It’s just a guitar.”

I never understood the JB hate, even if you can’t stand his music, you have to admire his pure passion and dedication to the instrument.

@j.b.55 5 месяцев назад

I would imagine it’s because his ‘savant’ level playing abilities and extremely hard work have funded one of the greatest historical collections of gear in history….people are jealous and mean spirited. Joe gets to be ‘a kid’ for his whole life…reliving some of the childhood he missed as a dedicated player. Everyone else has responsibilities and bills to pay. His music is also a ‘niche’ market, so not everyone is a fan.

@RolandSpecialSauce 5 месяцев назад

I rarely see any hate. 🤷‍♂️

@Dreyno 5 месяцев назад

I appreciate how good a player he is but his music leaves me cold for some reason. But I couldn’t hate the guy. A genuinely nice guy who’s really enthusiastic about music and gear.

I like Joe. Seems like a good dude, and can play his ass off. I must say, however, that his playing and singing style are not for me. As they said in the film Amadeus, “too many notes, your Majesty”.

I think that the KFC sporks from the late '90s were the best. They sourced a higher grade plastic, and it really shows. Not to mention that, by 2002/03, the grips were thinner and the tines were narrower. Don't get me started on todays cheap import sporks. Sure, they look the part but, as we know, they are all show. Forget trying to take a large, robust bite of slaw. Now, in the late '90s, one could not only scoop a healthy amount of slaw but, due to the better action and grip feel of those classic sporks, mashed potatoes and gravy - like a LOT of gravy - was not a problem. I own two classic , late '90s sporks. My "daily driver" is a '97, black with the raised flange on the grip. She's a real beaut! I get a lot of compliments (and more than a few envious glares) whenever I take her out of the case. My real pride and joy (aside from my beautiful wife Maureen) is my '99. Yeah baby, that's right, a "Double Niner". Took me years to track a real one down. I ended up paying "real money" for it at an auction in Gobbler's Knob. I don't dare take this one out of the safe deposit box. She ( I named her Stormy) is my everything. I don't pass a stool without thinking of her. She has the most elegant curves, a generous bowl and sexy little tines; the perfect ratio of Sp to Ork.

@travislee9662 5 месяцев назад

Yeah the sporks today just don’t have that feel. My house once caught fire and my neighbors thought I was crazy running back into the house to get my old 94’ model. They just don’t know. Besides the obvious quality and craftsmanship back then it was also a priceless spork for sentimental reasons. I just graduated HS that year and my family saved up to get me that spork as a graduation present. There’s no way in hell I was just going to stand by and watch it melt away. I was able to rescue it and after being treated for smoke inhalation we were able to build our lives back together. It’s our 30th anniversary this year. Sure we’ve had our ups and downs (my brief affair with some exotic Panda Express chopsticks) but me and "Lucille” are still together to this day.

@phildohogne1970 5 месяцев назад

Gibson used to let Pete from Pete's Guitars in Saint Paul into their records. Pete had an amazing memory. At least I hope that is what is was. He is where I got a great deal of information about Gibson from in the 70's. Perhaps talking to people who knew him is a starting point to find the missing part of the 1959 information. I worked in a vintage guitar store from 1974 to 1981 and was a Picker until 1989 for another store. I think I remember your dad Joe.

@Shamilt3 5 месяцев назад

I agree with Joe, to a degree. I bought a 19 classic remotely. It came in and played great but it just sounded like a himbucker guitar. I changed all the hardware with period correct including bridge studs (required deeper drilling) and throbak pafs, vintage harness and now it it's the best lp I've ever owned. It has that "honk" that modern guitars seem to not have.

Great video. I'm a noob and can barely play a chord, but I love to see people with so much talent and experience in any industry still so passionate about it. Learning the guitar has taken me from being a passive listener of music to an active participant, and it's certainly given me a whole new perspective on what I now hear. Chapeau to people like Shifty who spend the time making videos like these, and JB for explaining it so well.

@12Jakeyboy 5 месяцев назад

I've got push pull pots in both pickups aswell for putting either pickup in parallel wiring, so much more versatility than any expensive stock Gibson can offer.

@Nordic_Sky 5 месяцев назад

To me, the big difference between '58 and '59 is the move to larger frets. It's a completely different instrument. The humbucking goldtops and '58s are great, but the larger frets make the latter guitars so much easier to play.

@howabouthetruth2157 5 месяцев назад

While it is indeed true that THE PLAYER is the main ingredient for great tone, considering the guitar, TUBE amp, and pedal are at least pretty good..........but there's simply no denying the build quality, tone, and sustain of those '58, '59', and 60 Gibson's with those original PAF's. ..........but even then, so long as it isn't "a dud" with say: bad pickups. It's the clean tones and even the moderately driven tones that sets those old guitars & pickups apart from the new guitars. Hell, back in 1990, I got REALLY lucky while shopping for a real Gibson LP Standard ( new or used ). I had adopted a method of demo'ing every Gibson LP Standard new & used, in 3 different counties here in east/central Florida by ONLY playing them UN-PLUGGED in a quiet room. I had narrowed my search down to 3, when it happened: I stumbled across an old '77 LP Standard with flamed sunburst top. The LP's from that era are generally known as "shit guitars".........BUT NOT THIS ONE. It was incredibly light for starters, and the instant I strummed a few chords ( good thing it had decent strings ), 6 of us in the store just stared at each other saying: "WOW!!!". I mean that thing sang like a songbird.....again: totally unplugged. For some reason, it blew away everything else new or used. The tuners had been replaced with Grover's and they were already worn out. The lead pickup didn't work at all. But I didn't care. We slapped some newer Grover's on it, and a Seymour Duncan "59" in the lead position, and literally every guitarist in my entire area went crazy over it. And to be a '77........it just shocked everyone, including me. Like an idiot, I eventually sold it some years later. Sure wish I still had it now.

@snapascrew 5 месяцев назад

The 59 I played was meh, the 60 I played was actually awesome. The 59 might have just needed a setup but the 60 felt like a great guitar where the 59 felt like a 59 year old piece of wood. Which at the time is exactly what it was.

@dcb_75 5 месяцев назад

That's what always makes me laugh, people want to learn guitar and go spend a fortune on one thinking it will somehow magically make them a great player. The guitar is important but you need to know how to play it otherwise the guitar doesn't matter. It is always interesting to see videos of people playing "cheap " Epiphones yet getting great sound - a quality guitar is a quality guitar, a good player will know how to get the most out of it. I know as I am not a great player - I can't make mine sound good no matter what I do 😂
