Unless it's regarding cheese dick guitar wankers/trust fund babies that wear Gucci/Ralph Lauren and play the blues for white guys on Youtube.
To be fair, he's been groomed since he was 13 yo, so he's got that going for him I guess.
Higgins If he comes to Norte Cali please see him. It'll be awesome I promise. I've seen him twice or more in Reno but there was time he was the house band at the Reno Hilton, the one with the rotating restaurant at the top. Which is way long gone.
Since I've been to three J.B. blues cruises from the Carrribean to the Mediterainian and they were outstanding.
He's now in his 40's and is as awkward as ever but any body he plays with except the top old dogs he invites get mostly eviserated, very respectfully .
Thing is, Joe has never had a recognizable riff of his own, outside the fan base.
To help understand such guitar music in general and this Bonamassa discussion in particular, please explain what is meant by the term "riff" and describe or demo one. Thx.
I have never had the talent or the desire to delve into the musician/music trivia like so many,yet I appreciate the talent required to do so. I also just appreciate the talent required to play an instrument and entertain an audience, regardless of originality!
Joe B. is an ex-shredder turned bluesman and sounds like it. He has an impressive collection of vintage axes that he likes to show off. Occasionally a buddy will loan him an equally rare and expensive vintage axe and Joe will show that off, too. If you can get past his pretentious cork-sniffing and general goofiness he's not a bad guitarist.
