I’ve seen several videos with these dudes together and If you noticed when josh goes to solo the groove completely drops out! Moral of the story is that Josh is the best Rhythm guitarist around!!!!!!
And the most feelful soloing I've ever heard. Something about the mix of that jazz/country/blues thing he does. He mixes it up so well within one solo.
I had the pleasure of playing 2 dumble amps. I wish I had the skills I have now to really put it through the paces and experience everything it had to offer but Ill never forget that clean tone with sizzle. So friggin dynamic it's disqusting! I was literally 2 years into guitar after drumming for years but I always remembered that tone that guys who played dumbles had. Way b4 I even knew why it was so great. Lol
5:35 love that little scale change. No idea what he did, but it sounded so nice. Two masters of our time. Just when you thought guitar was finished, these guys show us that it's not over.
Agtronic it’s the diminished lick that starts the phrase that pulls your ear to the “outside” sound. Effective trick because the rest of the phrase is pretty much pentatonic.
Guitar playing does not get better. Matt can't be human. He's achieved the epitome of expressiveness, touch, flare and finesse with his playing. Crikey...
Nice playing. But it's kinda like - sigh ... the endless notes, the endless technique, the endless endless ... Its just more of the same & I've heard it all before, & very tired of it. Now if you are playing it - yourself - then - YA, fun. Can be exciting. All of that. But LISTENING to it, yet again ? Geez .... Some new Phenom, it's just ... sigh ... okay. They get better & better, but don't really PLAY much of anything that hasn't been played before. So like I said - the doing can be fun. The Listening - not so much anymore. Give me Grant Green, Wes, Kenny and loads of early Fusion guys any day . Give me a Piano, a Bass ,a Sax, a Synth - ANYTHING but a Guitar sometimes. Because there are definitely people out there doing interesting stuff.
Faster isn't always better kids. play up and down note after note.. notes that dont fit and its cool but it doesn't show emotion.. watch the feeling and feel the sound of joshs playing compared to matts... yeah.. different emotional approach. both great but better to use phrasing for emotional rather than shred through notes.. imo.
Dumble and most decent blues players can coax those amps... I built 3 a 50 and two 100s skyline eq is my fave. HRM is OK Larry Carlton and Robben Ford built a lifetime career on this tone. It's their signature. Beautiful amps but, at the end of the day you still sound like yourself.
Matt is playing his Matt Schoffield signature Two Rock and a Classic Reverb Signature and Josh is playing a Two Rock Traditional Clean and the legendary Dumble Overdrive Special. @TwoRockAmplifiers is easily the best amp maker on the planet
Matt's got the magic touch. You can't teach it or learn it. Never heard anyone get such a sweet tone out of a Strat. Josh's tone was like icepicks in my ears after that.
jonno63 now imagine having a gifted amp maker build an amp customized for your guitar and play style! Must be heaven. I have the luck of owning a Two Rock custom and even that is just such a difference from any other amp I have played.
All of you guys on here that spew out BS on how one style is better than another or who you think is better. Please stop why put down any type of guitar player? By the way, these 2 play guitar for a living. I am quite sure none of you can make that claim. I will say this Matt could certainly take a shower before a performance.
Wonderfull, faaantastic!!! This both are not from this earth!!! They are playing in one really great level!!! But Matt, please, please, nevermore use these baby shoes.....:):):) You are looking like a Gay Penguin!!! :):):)
God I miss Gary Moore! Today's guitarists are good but can put an insomniac to sleep. Josh had some nice edge to his short solo, and Scot is what we call in the guitar world a solo Bogart. Although he is quite good, it is all just the same thing over and over with no climatic power and melodic story being told. Josh on the other hand can tell a story well.
theyre just jamming on a sad backing track,,, both of them are brilliant with their own bands and have songs , albums that are brilliant and are both phenomenal live , i know ive seen them
Is it just me or does Schofield always play like 36 bars too long when he dual solos with Josh... I mean yeah he's amazing but he's no Josh Smith I wish it was reversed but Josh just seems like too laid-back and cool...
Josh Smith would be famous if he would just make faces. Millennials can't tell how good a player is unless they see those wild ass BB King gestures. Shoot, they even mistakenly think John Mayer is a great guitarist because he can fake his expressions so well.
@Peter Haugen - You must be the only one on the planet that thinks I was serious?? It's called sarcasm, look it up. For the record, Josh's playing is phenomenal.
