Hope someone finds this helpful. I wish someone would have shown me these 30 years ago. Played with a Les Paul traditional with Bonamassa signature Duncan pups and an Axe Fx II with a Marshall Plexi type pre set and RCF monitors [youtube][/youtube]

Sweet, thanks. I had never heard of this forum before last night. Maybe someone can springboard off these ideas and share some other licks???

That is a tasty run, a good lead in for some hard hitting blues licks. BTW nice music room. Welcome to the Roadhouse.

Nice technique, thanks for sharing.
Nice studio too bro.
It does add weight to my theory that Bonamassa is all flash and little style or emotion.
I just can't jive with whatever he's trying to convey.
To me he sounds dead, like a teenage shredder in a music store but with awesome tone.

I never really was into Bonamassa until I heard him mix the feel with the rippin stuff like this. I come from a Vinnie Moore, Randy Rhoads shred type background but have morphed my my style more towards classic rock. However, I still like a flurry of notes that are tasty of course, and these patterns are life changers for me. Maybe not your cup of tea Papus but I will opt to disagree with your assessment of Joe, respectfully of course.
Live free glad you dug it! Anything outside the boring position one box always gets my attention -EJ,.. Andy Timmons ect!
