JOE BONAMASSA Interview + VINTAGE GUITAR MADNESS!!! 

This was by far the best interview with Joe that I've seen, and I've seen most if not all of them so far 🤘

Joe is a dictionary of information about fender vintage stuff and everything vintage hes got to be one of the most knowledgeable people ever and then a killer guitar player one of the best

You gotta love Joe. He's living my dream!

I been front row for Joe many times. And I like being pummeled with guitar!

this is a great interview

I remember seeing SRV at Chastain Park in the late 80's. The neighborhood complained about the noise, so I watched stevie's tech move the plexiglas screens closer to the cabs. That was turning down! 🤟 Great interview!

Joe Bo talking wattage was so good. It's not just the decibel level, it's the power too. Too many arena shows and amphitheater shows are underpowered lately

Really enjoyed that!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is so awsome... The smartest man I HAVE EVER SEEN . I AM BLOWED AWAY!!! I LOVE THIS MAN! AND HIS MEMORY!!! DO YOU PLAY A GUITAR???? LOL ❤THE BEST❤

If you’re watching this Joe I love you. You’re so talented and so kind hearted!! Keep rocking bud!

Joe when Jake pulls out an old guitar. “Oh that’s cute. “ But the wheels were turning when the 54 strat came out. Hahaha.

What a great conversation! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The moments when Joe wasn't getting interrupted were great

Love it

Legend Joe Sir 100% we want to see that Gibson Sunburst Les Paul !❤❤❤❤❤❤

AW man that Gatemouth Esquire sounds incredible !...Geez ! Thanks peoples !

Great stories from two great guys that were raised in similar ways.

I love Joe. I can't get enough of his interviews. I'm just like you guys regarding collecting guitars and amps etc. plus, he teaches me such much. Anyway, thank you for the interview. All the best.

1:24:15 This is true passion! They are wrapping up the interview, and JB spots an Esquire in the backround, and has him "break it out"! The interview rambles on for over 6 minutes!😂 If only we could all love what we do for a living THAT MUCH!

I'm enjoying this so much... Thank you Thank you Thank you

Great time listening, watching and learning. 🤘🦁

Haha I remember always going to see bands I liked at shows in high school and waking up every time the next morning with ringing still in my ears. Now I just have a twin reverb and blues jr and can’t believe during those days I would play shows with a marshall half stack. Fun video, I always enjoy hearing Joe talk

Loved every second of this. Love listening to smart guys talk gear.

1:10:50 To this day, I can't understand how JB can have the geeky speaking voice of a 12 year old like this, and one of the best blues singing voices ever! The transformation brings the crossroads story to mind!

Thanks for a great show, great gear, great players, Thanks A+

Great conversation Jake.

This shit I need to learn that has nothing to do with theory. You can’t buy this in a book somewhere that I know. This video was pure gold. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great shout out to Craig at Bay State Vintage Guitars ! Shop is in Norwood now at the end of my street , still has really cool stuff !

Great video, made my evening! Thanks!

I just love Joe B ! Every interview is interesting and fun. He puts on great shows. He is someone I really admire. A guitar hero for sure. Thank you for the good interview sir

That boss delay story hilarious 🎉😂thanks this made my day

I understand the whole John Jorgenson thing because his style is so fast and intense, really takes advanced players to learn whole parts of his solos. Orange blossom, back on Terra firma, all those songs had little tricks built in with those incredible chops that you really need to watch them play, instead of learning by ear, or a little of both.

Great stuff!!!

Joe should do a short playing demo of all those Fender Amps in chronological order using a Guitar from the same year as a historical record of tone. ❤

25mins in and im lovin it, thanks for sharing, i will subscribe and check out your vids, thanks

Awesome guitar 🎸 player

Loved this, thank you! Super fun hearing gear nerds talk about gear, especially JB. Learned a ton! I've got a mint 5F2a for him if he wants it in Costa Mesa next week! 😉

Thoroughly enjoyed this Jake! Wishing you much success.

I've studied a lot of Fender history, Gibson too, but had no idea a Forrest White amp had ever been made. That is so cool. If anyone would find it, it would be Joe.

Brilliant conversation between you both! I started playing at the age of 11/12 and I'm the same age as Joe, a long time playing! I totally get & respect the cassette struggles!!! 😅

Very cool, thanks for sharing guys....edit to add: 110 Tweed Amps.....my God I love JB. He's just flat out cool. Not to mention the best player on earth

Just finished, what an amazing collection you got there! Fun hearing about the stories. Unfortunately, like Joe talked about, tough for us under 30 folks to touch anything in that class, especially guitars. I've given up on vintage guitars besides my super players grade '63 Jr, but I've gone deep into amps since they're still semi-attainable... though that diminishes day by day and tweeds are in the stratosphere.

I like that there are still great players who crank their tweeds, despite the trend I've been seeing of babying them by never going above 3.

yeah....learned Santana by dropping the needle on the Abraxas LP.....and Allman brothers. 73/74

Jake when you coming back to the guitar sanctuary? Great show!

Interesting interview, I’ve been learning a lot about guitars and amps from Joe lately watching his vids. The only thing I don’t particularly agree with is the need for high volume/power. I’ve been to a couple of concerts, mainly metal, and thankfully all of them were open air so the extreme volume had a large space to disperse into. Now, in a closed room or hall, all that echoes back and it will get painful very quickly. I watched him at Royal Albert Hall about two weeks ago. It was a life-changing experience, he and the band were fantastic, passionate about music and everything was on point. But then there was the volume. Even thinking about it now makes me shudder. It was soo so loud. It was like hot knives stabbed into my ear repeatedly when he played high notes. Which is a f*cking shame because he is a fantastic musician! I know I’m just some rando from the street, but there’s a reason requirements changing in relation to the volume. Apart from the fact we learn about damage to hearing, the crowd isn’t compiled by Oldfields, the majority of us has ordinary hearing and won’t pick up or look for specific notes. We just want to enjoy the melodies without having tinnitus for 3-4 hours afterwards. I say this in the most respectful manner, I am no musician but I am the one on the receiving end. 🙏

I've heard a lot of Joe's interviews, but I've never heard him talk about Fender basses before. Does he collect those, too?

Part 2 🙏

I think the prices have gone up on those Tweed Twins since Joe started talking about them.

Joe the echo on that song you learned is half the speed . LOL ....

I like their point about loud amps not being popular anymore. I wonder if it has to do with more and more Americans living in apartments.

Great interview. Did Joe try to buy your 54 strat after the interview 😂

perspex is just a brand name in the UK

I think the Super Reverb is the best sounding amp Leo Fender ever had anything to do with. From a Tele to an ES335, they just do it for me. It’s worth the extra effort to haul it around imo. Besides that, how else are you going to get that big Black Panel sound at a reasonable price and volume? Great talk with Joe! Subbed.

Thats so funny

I’m in awe of Jo Bo butt it looks like he’s veering toward super hoarding

I hope this gives your channel the boost it deserves.

Perspex is a brand name used as a noun by Brits to describe what we Americans call Plexiglass.

You guys never mentioned Muddy Waters?

Every time the interviewer speaks it cuts out the interviewee’s voice and or video. Usually we then miss stuff we wanted to hear and see. I’m glad for people interviewing people but I wish people would get the hang of this video interview thing.

FYI Perspex is just British speak for plexiglass

It was so nice of this guy to let Joe interview him. Dude STFU and put it on receive once in awhile. Every time Joe starts talking "Yeah, my dad..." 😞

I think it's astounding that people in a stadium audience are bitching about the stage volume of a damn Twin. I used to wonder if my Music Man version of that amp was enough for some of the bar gigs I used to play. How have people become so sensitive?

You don't need a 50's guitar to sound like a 50's guitar. That raspy, woody clear tone, that everyone looks for lives in every eBay bought guitar I own or put together no matter the pickups or pots! My hippie radio tech brother thought me enough to be dangerous! ....Was trying to get a patent/copyright intellectual property is like the border.... Everything built is being copied by our Eastern supplier, as there are many rip offs /illegals are being pushed on an unsuspected public....... B4 you buy a Gibson or anything now days..... get its history! Sad, stage4 and I'm waiting for an act of congress!

Honest question … Are the Vaults climate controlled .. humidity/temperature? That may be the reason.

This is what happens when you are not married. My wife wouldn’t let me live with a house full of amps.

Oh my god the music is audible , IT'S TOO LOUD !!!

Is he wearing his wife’s T shirt

My will let me have any guitar or amp😂

dynamite

Come on guys give someone else a chance at 30 grand to million dollar guitar stop hogging them all. I as well toss gibson bb king Lucilles in the dumbster i want one that he played. Pinkys up as you play. Gear pigs
