    • @stephenhanlin2388
      @stephenhanlin2388 4 роки тому

      Maybe a 30 rock amp or a Matchless. Custom guitar & some killer back & forth between finger picked notes, octave licks, smokin fast leads w pick. Josh threw everything at us on this one!!!

    Been listening and playing blues all my life. My son is named after SRV. In my opinion Josh is one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time. For me alongside Derek Trucks probably the best living blues guitarist. So humble. So delicate. Such a beautiful touch. Sophisticated phrasing. And that tone is just other worldly. He has it all.

      @@kvnboudreauxI deeply appreciate kingfish (-!: I’m a proper old school blue sky. SRV, Albert King, BB, Freddy, Albert Collins, etc.), but king Fish has far fewer dimensions to his style Josh. Kingfish has all the raw emotion. Josh had so much it’s unreal

    This is probably the best track i ever listened to regarding the blues. I had the opportunity to have a full consert in a small place in Norway a couple of years ago with you, and i was sold.
    I was afraid no one could carry the torch of beeing a great artist in this music genre among the "next" generation.
    But dont worry... Josh Smith, you fill those shoes.
    Ps: a couple of spelling errors, but you are amazing.
