As a present of sorts for our anniversary, my wife bought us tickets to see Joe Bonamassa in Austin, TX. Last night was the show, and Joe did not disappoint. It wasn't a 'greatest hits' collection or a blues review of some sort - much of the material was either unfamiliar to me or his...

My wife decided to surprise me for... well, probably for our anniversary. Joe Bonamassa tickets and a road trip to Austin. We have family near Austin (kids, grandkids) so we'll probably spend a lot of time visiting that weekend... and I'm going to hit the pawn shops while I'm there. Woo hoo!

I'm not a fan of his but- JESUS. Check out his home collection. :eek: Welcome to Nerdville: Inside Joe Bonamassa's Home Collection

dat lead tone... :agreed:

For you blues/rock fans. Free 10 Track Album from Blues Rock Legend Joe Bonamassa

Joe has quite a bit of guitars and apparently is borrowing a few as well! Have not made through all of it. But everything seems pretty rad so far! :yesway:

Very interesting and pretty cool to see how he grew up playing.

Still sounds like Bonamassa, shockingly :lol: Though it's kind of great to see him outside of his comfort zone and hitting the occasional not so great note.

Got this for my b-day(thanks teebes :wub:) and I'm about to sit down and check it out. Anybody see it yet? Figured it's a good evening for it. It's cool and rainy out. And maybe I can start a nice roaring fire with the shattered remains of my acoustic guitar. :yesway:

Holy shit.

Interview: Joe Bonamassa - Restless Pick Syndrome - Premier Guitar

oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit!!!!!!!

I was out shopping for some snowboard accessories and I spotted this on the way: Stopped in to check the place out. Turns out it's owned by Joe's dad, who was cool as shit. We talked gear, music and Joe for a little while. I thought it would be awkward snapping pictures inside, so I didn't...

It adds that nice little jazz tweak to your playing.

...and how your hands are the most important part. Very cool story, from a very cool guy. Though, I was just waiting for "...but seriously, buy my signature guitar, pedals, pickups, etc." :lol:

:bowdown:

:eek:

Plenty of tasty phrasing going on here! Both rather talented.
