  • If you need that clown Joe Bonamassa to figure out how to get a good tone out of a Les Paul, you should be playing the kazoo instead.

  • Great video! Shows how versatile a Les Paul can be! Probably helps to play like JB though. Keep em coming!

  • Thanks Joe! I was a drummer for a long time and of all the guitarists I've played with over the years only two knew what those round things on the guitar were there for! ????????

  • The only case I'm not happy with using the knobs this way is when I need the middle position, both pups on stage. Then it's a pain in the ass. Otherwise it really works for me.

  • i just discovered joe bonamassa (ive been just getting into blues n blues rock.. stones,clapton,hendrix,yardbirds,john mayall etc) ive always been a les paul guy but hard rock and metal were my choice as a kid im 25 now and im appreciating blues and blues guitar so much.. and i just have the most fun in the world playing a backing track and just jamming out from the heart for 10 mins to each track makes me feel i have a band lol but anyways my tangent aside i discovered joe through guitar world mag ive seen his name before but i thought he was a gibson luthier or something! then i saw a video of his les paul cusom black beauty thats when i dived into his music and everything and hes a amazing musician i hope to play the blues like him soon!

  • A good video,but it would have been helpful to see the amp settings; astone controls are relative to the base.

  • Joe, When someone of your status in the music business takes time to bring us less gifted pickers, it's a grand day! I am grateful to you, maestro.

  • I had no idea I could get my 200 watt Marshall major that I bought from Richie Blackmore to sound like this.

  • Because Joe is being modest here, the true difference is that he is a consummate player with fingers like magic because he has practiced practiced and then practiced some more.
    As peter green told me back in the 60s " a lot is in the hands and fingers".
    Such a brilliant demo though Joe. Thank you.

  • It took me 5 years of playing to realize volume knob is for the tone too, not just for loudness

  • For the love of Eric Clapton! Seriously Joe, I swear your playing would translate much better and fuller through a proper strat. I hear you and watch you and cant process why you are playing a Gibson. Gibsons have since been improved upon, I mean you are right there next to the guy playing the Rickenbacker.
