  Joe Bonamassa

This guy is amazing! He is 29, and has been playing guitar for 25 years. He has been touring with B.B. King since he was only 12.

Nahhhhh, I've seen him perform with 4 different guitars. The guy is amazing at every facet of playing guitar. He's great at slide, fingrpicking, muting, playing clean chrods, and playing EXTREMELY fast when he wants to.

I wish I could find a video of him just 'violining' the guitar. He plays the Godfather theme, which is played on violin, perfectly on his guitar. He doesn't use some sound-altering effect either. He only uses a single delay effect. He explains how he does it in an interview, and it's quite simple. But damn does it sound awesome!

I have seen JB twice, he is amazing and also a damn good showman. Nice to know that not all the young guns are'nt just born to shred.


Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.

Just found a page with a decent chunk of audio and video of him:

http://www.bonamassabluesrock.com/samples.html

This guy is just flat out amazing!

EDIT:

"Last night, my musical jihad grew even more hair on its scrotum, because I got to jam onstage, no band, just a couple of Les Pauls and a kid named Joe Bonamassa, a white kid from New York. It was just us onstage, and this little white [expletive], and this older white [expletive], continued to pretend we weren't, in fact, white at all. This kid deserves to be in the same class with Stevie Ray [expletive] Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. It was really inspiring. So this kid and I had maybe 40 minutes of exchanges of notes that don't exist, guitar sounds that are brand new, and soul and emotion that can only go back into the glow of the B.B./Albert/Freddy King world." - Ted Nugent on an impromptu show with Joe Bonamassa

I saw him do it using only the volume knob on his strat. Nifty!
