I love it when people proclaim "the best guitarist ever!" Really gets the voices flowing. I'd match Joe against any blues guitarist around today. But when you talk about the best guitar player EVER...it's all a matter of taste. You really can't compare someone like oh, say Mark Knopfler or Lindsey Buckingham with guys like Robin Trower and the Edge. Like apples to crabapples. However, when talking about the very best, these names have to be on the list for consideration: BB King Eric Clapton Jimmy Page Jeff Beck Jimi Steve Howe Steve Hackett Gilmour Then there are what I like to call "the technicians" - Joe Satriani, Tom Morello, Ivan Smirnov, Steve Vai, etc. With the difference in style, genre and type, I don't think you can ever call a single guitar player the best ever... "the technicians" Yes, Until I found the right word to describe Yngwie Malmsteen and co. |
ScottD Jun 13, 2013 - 09:57 | I love Joe, but I'd also like to hear a bit of dirtier blues, like say the type played by Doyle Bramhall lll. He has to rank right up there as well. |
Poacher Jun 13, 2013 - 09:52 | I have this cd and this track came up recently on my hi-fi at home on a random playlist. I have to say, I cranked it up to indecent levels to the point where Mrs Poacher thought I was going to break the windows. It was worth it. 10 |

Sjaaks May 15, 2013 - 01:50 | Seeing all the Robin Trower comparisons here made me reply: |
Isabeau May 11, 2013 - 19:03 | Don't care what anyone sez, this guy's riffs remind me of ... Robin Trower. An I love it all! |
ShaunJ Apr 10, 2013 - 14:47 | Yahoo! Joe Bonamassa will be rockin Vancouver tonight! |

As for blues originality, virtually all blues is 100% derivative. What's the beef... you either like the blues or you don't. Best guitar player ever? Ha. He very well may be hot and terrific to see live, but in the same league as Hendrix and Jeff Beck? Not hardly. Maybe Sonny waybackwhen, but last week he was a reeeefined slide guitar God. |

Pitjes Dec 22, 2012 - 00:42 | Head bangers banquet- Robin Trower is clapping hands, friendly, and Duane Alman rolls in his grave, but, I can't helpmyself from picking the keys while playing air-guitar!! |
