Hey there! Yes! You’ve got it LOL. In all seriousness that stuff does really make a difference and yet, there are a lot of people that did not those kind of advantages and had an amazing music career!Ultimately, I just want to thank you for taking the time to watch this interview! Please subscribe and hit the notification bell because there are some really serious interviews coming up not to mention some great content.

Hope to have you onboard!
@@TheSkuns I recently saw an interview with a former mafioso. He said that nobody who is successful sleeps in. That always stuck with me and you could be getting up an hour early right now and hit the woodshed if you really want it!?! I wanted to change my technique radically. Everybody said I couldn’t do it but I did that sort of thing… I woke up early… Stayed up late… And I actually did it at aLate stage in life. Well in my musical life that is! If you want to become a virtual so you can that’s just how bad you want it…
@@streetwiseguitar5113 As some one who has recently made vast improvements on guitar I never thought possible at this stage in my life, I believe it Finding a band is what helped me the most (and covid unemployment lol)
@@streetwiseguitar5113 man that's so true. I'm 54. I promised myself I'd practise in the mornings before work and again before bed, but it tales real discipline. No other way. You guys inspire me to keep trying.
I had a lesson with Josh in 2021. I am still cleaning the sh*t out of my pants. He was incredibly insightful, humble, patient, kind and smart. He showed no signs of being from another galaxy in fact, he does a great job of pretending he is a mere mortal. 🤣
Do you like this video, Mark… You might like the video that I did analyzing his tune, "circles." Thanks for taking the time to watch this and I really hope you subscribe hit the notification bell. They are going to be some really great upcoming videos with Contant you won't get anywhere else but here!
Josh is a freaking monster. He was blessed with his father being a pro musician as his personal teacher and encouraging/inspiring him from such an early age, but man, not everybody could reach the level of this guy, who also seems to be a very down to earth man. I believe is only a matter of time for him to reach the level of recognition (tons of) he deserves.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this! I hope you subscribe and check out some of the other very cool interviews and lessons I’ve done in the past I think you’ll really like them!
Not sure. Thanks for asking. I’ve recently discovered you when I came across your breakdown of Matteo’s Giant Steps solo. I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I look forward to getting to know you better
Imagine having a dad like he has. I don't know this man, and I don't know what kind of human he is (his dad) but one thing comes to my mind: dedication! I mean that would be (probably) coolest thing that could happen to me when I was a little boy. I liked music and playing with my father who would teach me that would meant a world to me. Unfortunately my father didn't care and I was always a shy person and a thought of me playing for someone brought panic attacks on me. Young boys need role-models, someone who they can look up to and that's a father's "job" in my opinion. I know mother can be inspirational also but ... it's a different kind of bond with your mother. Josh is an inspiration now for me. He could probably do it by himself but this is a whole other world to have someone that will give you this push in a life (especially when you start to grow up). Josh deserves all the best but I think his father did a great job and deserves a recognition.
He certainly is on his way to big! I thought Kurt Rosenwinkel is the top of the list, but Josh already raised the bar. With him the guitar can play any line a sax or whatever can.
What a relief to discover that he is actually a human who had to put his time in and work hard. And what a modest, relatable, and likable guy. I knew he was brilliant, but it means so much more that he’s not a jerk about. Cheers to you, young man; you deserve your exceptional talents!
Hey there! Thanks so much for watching the interview I do sincerely appreciate it! Please check out some of the other stuff on my channel and also of course subscribe and hit the notification bell! There’s some kick ass interviews coming up… Brace yourself 😉
Excellent. What an erudite young man. I've only recently gotten into UA-cam and you've not onyl reintroduced me to Holdsworth but guided me towards today's players like Josh, Matteo Mancuso, and Thomas Dawson. It never ceases to amaze me just how endless the variety of authentic sounds different souls can create on our instrument. Truly invigorates my outlook to playing - all day every day.

Whoa 😳 ❤️💜 thank you so much for taking the time to watch this! I really enjoyed making this interview and to know that somebody like yourself enjoyed it really means a lot! OLOLOT i ⭕️
Very awesome and informative interview! I think my favorite part is the look on Josh's face when he is asked to respond to guitarists who seek his level of skill right after an entire interview detailing his dedication and lifetime of study to guitar. His level of skill isn't just talent, it's dedication, and I think the best take away is that with discipline and dedication anyone can make significant improvements to their playing. That being said, I know the vast majority will never reach his level of skill. The man is a savant.

Very inspired, came across Josh this month as I've been looking for complex music. He has posted some songs and they are amazing. I'm learning bass and got my 2 year old a ukulele and he's already learned how to hold it and pull strings. A great bonding time.
Awesome, thank you! Do you like this interview you should definitely check out my breakdown of his tune, "circles." I think he would really really enjoy it!

It’s a Pleasure to hear you describe your approach. You’re a great communicator @Joshmeader. Also hats off to the interviewer, a very interesting line of questions.
Did you see the breakdown that I did of his tune, “circles?” I think you would really enjoy that if you like this one! It’s in my video cachet! Thank you for taking the time to watch this. I sincerely appreciate it!
there is no secret formula......practice,practice,practice....the right stuff.......start early, be curious and check out all music,read,scales,standards,work,work,work.....am 57,started with 6 and have been practicing daily since the age of 16.......to this day, being a professional guitar player, producer,studio owner, my working day always starts with practicing....
His superb left hand! I think it is very important to be able to lie the fore finger down on its edge, finger curved. This gives the ability to be able to spread the hand span nice and wide. I see it in all the great players today.
I think the guitar world is going to be just fine :-) I’m glad you enjoyed the interview and I hope you subscribe to the channel would be great to have you onboard.
Yep - I am one of those who listened to the very end - and it was all worth it. Simple guy, incredible gift, awe inspiring - "Anyone can do it ....." (Hmmnn!) Everyone can be the best versions of themselves - different paths though - learn from the best, put in the time and as the old saying goes: "Wherever Attention goes, Energy flows and the Results show." Keep the dream alive - never give up, until you nail it.
Blue planet! I want to kindly thank you for grooving on the whole interview! That really means a lot to me and let me know that the hard work that I’m doing is possibly helping others! If you enjoyed this interview you would definitely enjoy my breakdown of his song, “circles!” It’s very detailed and it took so many hours to complete! Please check that out and let me know how you like it and by all means subscribe to this channel because there’s some incredible things upcoming…
Professional athletes in the U.S, as well as around the globe, should take a lesson in humility and decorum from young artists at the very top of their game(s) like this young man and Matteo Mancuso, among others, and apply it to their pre and post game interviews. These young men let their music do the talking (in a HUGE way) and appear genuinely appreciative that others recognize their unbelievable talent and enjoy their playing. Very refreshing. Maybe their is actually hope for the youth of today.
I think nearly everybody that I have interviewed here, which includes people who are not “as athletically gifted,” have such a huge amount of humility, even though they have achieved excellent. I hope you get a chance to see the other interviews as well! I love doing them so if you have any suggestions of people I could try to reach out to… Let it rip!
@@streetwiseguitar5113 was just watching your video on neo-soul guitarists. Your channel has exposed me to three amazing guitarists in the last two days. Already looking forward to your next offering. Thanks for exposing more people to these talented young musicians.
6:11 "I seem to always remember having the idea that if I knock over the technical aspects of music I can achieve anything or do anything creatively" (at the age of seven) crowley refers to this as magick; the application of will to create positive change in your life. Joshua is a great magician and stellar communicator :) great interview! Subbed.
Great interview. I recently started following him on Insta and love his playing, but I somehow thought he was a bit of a 'too cool for school' kinda guy. This interview shows what a sweet guy he is. I wish him all the best!

I was a fan of saxist Orenet Coleman when I was meader's age. Coleman later became a rare pulister prize winning jazz composer. But, my favorite was the Jazz album where Coleman solos on one side. Only once since then have I heard any of Coleman's beautiful compositions from that era played. If anyone could, perhaps meader.
I know I would certainly love to hear it! I hope you got a chance to subscribe and hit the notifications button. There are some great interviews coming up! Thanks once again it would be great to have you onboard!
So they both said the michael brecker solo was hard to perform. I find that easy to believe. But what I find equally impressive is the memorization! That's a lot of material to learn.
Awesome interview! I just found out about Joshua only 2-3 weeks ago and, man...dude is an absolute phenom! I would love to see you interview two other young prodigies if ever possible: Matteo Mancuso, and Dylan "Seda" Reavey (check out the song "Alter"; it's a mind-blowing composition)!

I hope the take away is with hard work we can achieve great success. Success referring to competency. Rather than one can only become a musician if one starts as a toddler. This should inspire rather than discourage people of all ages.

Well said. I think with 10 years of consistent practice and a specific goal anyone can become an accomplished musician. Typing it does make it sound easier though:)
Thanks for that ! I am soooo relieved .... I only found him yesterday and watched 2 or 3 videos and just wanted to burn my guitar. Now that i know his history I know he really had to earn that.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video! I’m really glad you enjoyed it… Now the next video you need to see is one I just recently made called, “I don’t believe social media… You’re a better musician than you think!” Please look in the video Q for that!

I have been playing for 19 years without any teacher, just figuring it out through trial and error and reading tabs. Now I am considering finding a teacher finally to take the next step.
Great and Fantastic Guitar Playing and may I say that it’s in the left hand. most people have strong right hand fingers but lazy and weak left hand fingers notice that picking with the right hand is minimal but the left hand is 10 times faster than the right hand picking. I wish the interviewer realize that and include it in the interview to remove the secrecy and demystify the technique. Thank You
Very much for taking the time to watch this interview! So glad you got something out of it! Please be sure to subscribe to the channel and check out some of the other interviews I think you might enjoy as well!
I switched to left handed after losing the index finger on my left fretting hand ,it's been years now and the left former fretting hand is doing great alternate picking and right former picking hand is doing high speed hammer ons and showing great dexterity so it's all subjective, the brain is proof God is real.
@@enlightenedchristian3183 Absolutely correct. I am really sorry about your index finger. I wish you all the best and tons of joyful hours playing your guitar

This guy truly is amazing, and I was sure he'd started at a very young age. I'd say it's almost impossible to reach that level of facility playing such demanding music if you start after adolescence has kicked in.
Well… First of all thank you so much for watching! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Second of all, I would almost beg to differ with you. Why? Check out #Shorts videos. That would be a quick way to check out what I have done with my technique. I totally revamped it! I could not even come close to doing any of the shredding stuff. I’m considerably older than Josh. If you put forth the hours and you have a game plan, mentor, and a technique that you know has been pressure tested… You can indeed gain an incredibly high level of facility. If I practiced as much as Josh, there’s no doubt in my mind that I would be able to play with that facility, As I can already play very fast. And I was never able to do anything like that. You might also want to check out my, “some skunk funk” transcription. Let that be proof an inspiration to you that yes you can indeed dramatically and drastically improve your technical facility.
@@streetwiseguitar5113 Thanks for the video! I've been following this guy lately. Him and Matteo Mancuso might have two of the best techniques I've seen in my life. That being said, I beg to differ to your differ ; ) I know it's possible to practice really hard and properly (key word) and achieve an excellent level (I play multiple instruments and have learned them at different times in my life -- I used to be able to shred pretty decently on guitar), but there's a certain facility that people who started very young have. I've seen it over and over. I seriously doubt there are many concert violinists or pianists who started after the age of ten (it'd be interesting to do the research). Maybe what I'm talking about is a very subtle difference, but it's there. It's the ease of playing extremely challenging music and being able to add nuances at a minute level, all while making it look effortless. But maybe I'm just suffering from confirmation bias. It's possible. Luckily, for most of us, music isn't a competition. Cheers!
You know, its a shame guys like josh aren't recognized for their dedication, greatness, and virtuosity. When you see magazine articles filled with the so n so greatest guitarists of all time, like for instance, Jimmy page, or Hendrix, this is just a sad example of commercialism gone wrong at its finest, not to put down those guys in ANY way.

There's nothing wrong with the background music, but the interview itself is the most important part and you don't want to distract from it or play something that makes it hard to hear. Also, it would have helped if he had turned the volume of Josh's responses up more because it's pretty out of balance with the interviewer's talking.
I feel like you were inturrupting him sometimes right after he started answering your question. However this was mainly noticeable in the first 5 or 10 minutes, maybe you were just nervous / excited. Nevertheless, great interview! Thanks for posting.
I never could get consistent clean playing and playing fast on three notes per string. I finally gave up realizing the pick gets trapped and messes me up no matter how many years worked on it. I finally figured out to hammer or pull off the last note. My speed went through the roof for the first time in my life. My friends were like how did you get so fast all of a sudden. I thought I was so smart after years and having the idea to play that way. I wasnt as smart as I thought lol.
That is amazing! Hopefully I’ll get a chance to hear you play someday! I truly hope you enjoyed the interview and if you want to see something that’s really amazing is the new video that I just put out, “John Mayer; why is he so damn good!” A lot of people underestimate exactly what’s going on in his plane and I think you’ll really enjoy the video!

Brilliant video. I appreciate this a lot! Thank you! The part about the picking technique was an eye opener for me. I will try this out. I wonder which Jason Becker video he referred to. Does anyone know this? I dod not know Jason used this technique too...
I’m really pleased you liked this vid! Hopefully, you will Have time to check out the rest of the channel. Please do subscribers great to be have you on board.
I know, I never saw Becker mention that... But I've seen a great EVH tutorial where the guy did this...it looked like Eddie's hand and sounded like his pick attack too...I'm GUESSING EVH did it too.
@@jfo3000 Yes, I just recently learned that this was one of the tricks in EVH's bag (from Jude Gold's latest and absolutely fantastic podcast "No Guitar is Safe" tribute and lesson episode on EVH...the whole podcase series is highly recommendable!)
Zoom sucks. Well maybe I should rephrase that because I don’t have the premium zoom. The one that everybody uses records at a very measly 680 P. If you combine that with an iSight camera from Apple it’s just a total mess. What Josh and I did was we both used our own cameras and he sent me his files and I put it together. Some people who don’t have a camera means that we are relegated to using zoom. If you look at my video of me and Aubrey king (my most recent interview), you can see that that’s what we did and it looks really good. Thank you for liking the video.

Do you like this video, Mark… You might like the video that I did analyzing his tune, "circles." Thanks for taking the time to watch this and I really hope you subscribe hit the notification bell. They are going to be some really great upcoming videos with Contant you won't get anywhere else but here!
Think you could interview Mateo Mancuso? Man this generation of guitar players is just off the fricking chart.
Working on it!!!!
Josh is a freaking monster. He was blessed with his father being a pro musician as his personal teacher and encouraging/inspiring him from such an early age, but man, not everybody could reach the level of this guy, who also seems to be a very down to earth man. I believe is only a matter of time for him to reach the level of recognition (tons of) he deserves.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this! I hope you subscribe and check out some of the other very cool interviews and lessons I’ve done in the past I think you’ll really like them!
@@streetwiseguitar5113 done 😉
Right on Carlos, agreed👍
We are blessed in this world to have access to the greatest of guitar players. Josh and Matteo seem to be redefining our craft
For taking the time to watch this Joe! Have you seen the latest video that I posted?
Not sure. Thanks for asking. I’ve recently discovered you when I came across your breakdown of Matteo’s Giant Steps solo. I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I look forward to getting to know you better
Imagine having a dad like he has. I don't know this man, and I don't know what kind of human he is (his dad) but one thing comes to my mind: dedication! I mean that would be (probably) coolest thing that could happen to me when I was a little boy. I liked music and playing with my father who would teach me that would meant a world to me. Unfortunately my father didn't care and I was always a shy person and a thought of me playing for someone brought panic attacks on me. Young boys need role-models, someone who they can look up to and that's a father's "job" in my opinion. I know mother can be inspirational also but ... it's a different kind of bond with your mother. Josh is an inspiration now for me. He could probably do it by himself but this is a whole other world to have someone that will give you this push in a life (especially when you start to grow up). Josh deserves all the best but I think his father did a great job and deserves a recognition.
Thanks so much for sharing all of that!!! Please subscribe! It'd be great to have ya!
Joshua really deserves more recognition. I want to see him big in the future. Thanks for the interview.
Hopefully you’re right! I hope you subscribe to the channel check out some of the other interviews!!!!!
@@streetwiseguitar5113 subscribed sir.
His damn amazing
He certainly is on his way to big! I thought Kurt Rosenwinkel is the top of the list, but Josh already raised the bar. With him the guitar can play any line a sax or whatever can.
What a relief to discover that he is actually a human who had to put his time in and work hard. And what a modest, relatable, and likable guy. I knew he was brilliant, but it means so much more that he’s not a jerk about. Cheers to you, young man; you deserve your exceptional talents!

Excellent. What an erudite young man. I've only recently gotten into UA-cam and you've not onyl reintroduced me to Holdsworth but guided me towards today's players like Josh, Matteo Mancuso, and Thomas Dawson.
It never ceases to amaze me just how endless the variety of authentic sounds different souls can create on our instrument. Truly invigorates my outlook to playing - all day every day.
What a fantastic and positive comment, Justin! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch these videos and support my channel. It’s guys like you can make it all worth it!

Brilliant, well thought out interview! Thank you so much, Josh Meader is Absolutely Amazing❤
Whoa 😳 ❤️💜 thank you so much for taking the time to watch this! I really enjoyed making this interview and to know that somebody like yourself enjoyed it really means a lot! OLOLOT i ⭕️
Very awesome and informative interview! I think my favorite part is the look on Josh's face when he is asked to respond to guitarists who seek his level of skill right after an entire interview detailing his dedication and lifetime of study to guitar. His level of skill isn't just talent, it's dedication, and I think the best take away is that with discipline and dedication anyone can make significant improvements to their playing. That being said, I know the vast majority will never reach his level of skill. The man is a savant.

Brilliant interview......hmmmm hour lesson before school from your dad...that would do it all right ! Amazing player
You’re not kidding!
Very inspired, came across Josh this month as I've been looking for complex music. He has posted some songs and they are amazing. I'm learning bass and got my 2 year old a ukulele and he's already learned how to hold it and pull strings. A great bonding time.
Awesome, thank you! Do you like this interview you should definitely check out my breakdown of his tune, "circles." I think he would really really enjoy it!

I Love Josh‘s guitarplaying ❤ and his musicality are really very impressive. Hope to see u soon live in Switzerland 🇨🇭👏👏👏👏
Did you see the breakdown that I did of his tune, “circles?” I think you would really enjoy that if you like this one! It’s in my video cachet! Thank you for taking the time to watch this. I sincerely appreciate it!
there is no secret formula......practice,practice,practice....the right stuff.......start early, be curious and check out all music,read,scales,standards,work,work,work.....am 57,started with 6 and have been practicing daily since the age of 16.......to this day, being a professional guitar player, producer,studio owner, my working day always starts with practicing....
His superb left hand! I think it is very important to be able to lie the fore finger down on its edge, finger curved. This gives the ability to be able to spread the hand span nice and wide. I see it in all the great players today.
With Josh (and Matteo) the future of guitar is secure!
I think the guitar world is going to be just fine :-) I’m glad you enjoyed the interview and I hope you subscribe to the channel would be great to have you onboard.

Yep - I am one of those who listened to the very end - and it was all worth it. Simple guy, incredible gift, awe inspiring - "Anyone can do it ....." (Hmmnn!)

Please check that out and let me know how you like it and by all means subscribe to this channel because there’s some incredible things upcoming…
Professional athletes in the U.S, as well as around the globe, should take a lesson in humility and decorum from young artists at the very top of their game(s) like this young man and Matteo Mancuso, among others, and apply it to their pre and post game interviews. These young men let their music do the talking (in a HUGE way) and appear genuinely appreciative that others recognize their unbelievable talent and enjoy their playing. Very refreshing. Maybe their is actually hope for the youth of today.
I think nearly everybody that I have interviewed here, which includes people who are not “as athletically gifted,” have such a huge amount of humility, even though they have achieved excellent. I hope you get a chance to see the other interviews as well! I love doing them so if you have any suggestions of people I could try to reach out to… Let it rip!
@@streetwiseguitar5113 was just watching your video on neo-soul guitarists. Your channel has exposed me to three amazing guitarists in the last two days. Already looking forward to your next offering. Thanks for exposing more people to these talented young musicians.
6:11 "I seem to always remember having the idea that if I knock over the technical aspects of music I can achieve anything or do anything creatively" (at the age of seven) crowley refers to this as magick; the application of will to create positive change in your life. Joshua is a great magician and stellar communicator :) great interview! Subbed.

That's happened to me before, but I forgot what video I was watching
I was a fan of saxist Orenet Coleman when I was meader's age. Coleman later became a rare pulister prize winning jazz composer. But, my favorite was the Jazz album where Coleman solos on one side. Only once since then have I heard any of Coleman's beautiful compositions from that era played. If anyone could, perhaps meader.
I know I would certainly love to hear it! I hope you got a chance to subscribe and hit the notifications button. There are some great interviews coming up! Thanks once again it would be great to have you onboard!
So they both said the michael brecker solo was hard to perform. I find that easy to believe. But what I find equally impressive is the memorization! That's a lot of material to learn.
You should check out my transcription of Brecker's "Some Skunk Funk." I think you'd dig it. Check in my video cache. Thanks for watching!!!!!!
Awesome interview! I just found out about Joshua only 2-3 weeks ago and, man...dude is an absolute phenom!
I would love to see you interview two other young prodigies if ever possible: Matteo Mancuso, and Dylan "Seda" Reavey (check out the song "Alter"; it's a mind-blowing composition)!

How to become a virtuoso? Have your virtuoso dad give you lessons 1 hour a day for seven years for starters.
I'm not hating, but its true. Just look at Mozart and Brahms. It's an advantage. If your kid enjoys music, show them the ways.
Certainly helps! It’s great to have that mentor early on to help push in the right direction! I hope you have subscribe to the channel it would be great to have you onboard! I enjoy your input!
Not everyone will take full advantage of such a chance. Tons of kids grow up in a privileged situation like this and just don't make much of it.
This is so true! Check out Matteo Mancuso. He is an incredible guitar player and also a young one. He is the son of another great guitar player Vincenzo Mancuso.
That is true, but there really isn't much you want be able to achieve if you put in the time and effort
best thing you can do is be a virtuoso and teach your kids

Monster player, and nice guy.
Great and Fantastic Guitar Playing and may I say that it’s in the left hand. most people have strong right hand fingers but lazy and weak left hand fingers notice that picking with the right hand is minimal but the left hand is 10 times faster than the right hand picking. I wish the interviewer realize that and include it in the interview to remove the secrecy and demystify the technique. Thank You

I switched to left handed after losing the index finger on my left fretting hand ,it's been years now and the left former fretting hand is doing great alternate picking and right former picking hand is doing high speed hammer ons and showing great dexterity so it's all subjective, the brain is proof God is real.

It's called picking down under.
😆
This guy truly is amazing, and I was sure he'd started at a very young age. I'd say it's almost impossible to reach that level of facility playing such demanding music if you start after adolescence has kicked in.
Well… First of all thank you so much for watching! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Second of all, I would almost beg to differ with you. Why? Check out #Shorts videos. That would be a quick way to check out what I have done with my technique. I totally revamped it! I could not even come close to doing any of the shredding stuff. I’m considerably older than Josh. If you put forth the hours and you have a game plan, mentor, and a technique that you know has been pressure tested… You can indeed gain an incredibly high level of facility. If I practiced as much as Josh, there’s no doubt in my mind that I would be able to play with that facility, As I can already play very fast. And I was never able to do anything like that. You might also want to check out my, “some skunk funk” transcription. Let that be proof an inspiration to you that yes you can indeed dramatically and drastically improve your technical facility.
@@streetwiseguitar5113 Thanks for the video! I've been following this guy lately. Him and Matteo Mancuso might have two of the best techniques I've seen in my life.
That being said, I beg to differ to your differ ; )
I know it's possible to practice really hard and properly (key word) and achieve an excellent level (I play multiple instruments and have learned them at different times in my life -- I used to be able to shred pretty decently on guitar), but there's a certain facility that people who started very young have. I've seen it over and over.
I seriously doubt there are many concert violinists or pianists who started after the age of ten (it'd be interesting to do the research).
Maybe what I'm talking about is a very subtle difference, but it's there. It's the ease of playing extremely challenging music and being able to add nuances at a minute level, all while making it look effortless.
But maybe I'm just suffering from confirmation bias. It's possible.
Luckily, for most of us, music isn't a competition.
Cheers!
My favourite guitarist.
Look for the video that I did called, "play like Josh."
You know, its a shame guys like josh aren't recognized for their dedication, greatness, and virtuosity. When you see magazine articles filled with the so n so greatest guitarists of all time, like for instance, Jimmy page, or Hendrix, this is just a sad example of commercialism gone wrong at its finest, not to put down those guys in ANY way.
So glad you like this video! If you do like this then you should definitely see the one that I did where I break down his playing.

Just found this channel, thanks You Tube algorithm. Great to see a fellow ex-pat doing a great job on You Tube.
Cheers, Pádraig!!
This is awesome! Thanks so much and I really appreciate all of your support. I’ve been getting over a case of Covid so I hope to have the new video out sometime soon
Genius!! Only for the discerning listener.
Just a fabulous player isn’t he? I hope you got a chance to subscribe to the channel and hit the notification button! Do you have a look around and see the other and content! Thanks 🙏
Thank - what a great interview. He's so humble. Al Dimeola says that he picks every note. Do you know if Allan Holdsworth did that?
Allan Holsworth definitely did not pick all of the notes! He was a legato player. At any rate, I really want to thank you for watching and I hope you do subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don’t miss anything in the future!
Excellent interview and I enjoyed the background music. Ignore the armchair critics.
🙏😊
Please subscribe if you haven’t had a chance to already have be great to have you on board!
There's nothing wrong with the background music, but the interview itself is the most important part and you don't want to distract from it or play something that makes it hard to hear. Also, it would have helped if he had turned the volume of Josh's responses up more because it's pretty out of balance with the interviewer's talking.
I was really hoping to hear a deep dive into how a virtuoso learns efficient mechanics.
That may be a good idea for a new video!
I feel like you were inturrupting him sometimes right after he started answering your question. However this was mainly noticeable in the first 5 or 10 minutes, maybe you were just nervous / excited. Nevertheless, great interview! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for your comments. I think what you where hearing was the time lag between Miami and Sydney Australia. That’s Internet interviewing for you!
I never could get consistent clean playing and playing fast on three notes per string. I finally gave up realizing the pick gets trapped and messes me up no matter how many years worked on it. I finally figured out to hammer or pull off the last note. My speed went through the roof for the first time in my life. My friends were like how did you get so fast all of a sudden. I thought I was so smart after years and having the idea to play that way. I wasnt as smart as I thought lol.
That is amazing! Hopefully I’ll get a chance to hear you play someday! I truly hope you enjoyed the interview and if you want to see something that’s really amazing is the new video that I just put out, “John Mayer; why is he so damn good!” A lot of people underestimate exactly what’s going on in his plane and I think you’ll really enjoy the video! Also do subscribe to the channel it would be great to have you onboard!
Sure you were, you were exactly that smart - you came up with it yourself! The fact that you didn't invent it doesn't detract from your personal discovery of it.
The jaw has to drop onto the phone - Welcome to 2020.
Hear hear
Bona, Via, Satch, and the others must really be impressed with this guy, maybe we’ll see some of their guitars on Reverb🤣🤣🎸🇨🇦
Who knows? I couldn't imagine those OGs not diggin' Josh!!!!!
in the legendary blue champion hoodie too
Every champion needs a hoodie! 😉 I really hope you enjoyed the interview and subscribed to the channel! It would be great to have you onboard!
Great guitar player!! I don't say that about many
Thanks for taking the time to watch the interview! I love doing it and hopefully your subscribe to the channel and enjoy some of the other things here are available for you! Hope to have you onboard!
Brilliant video. I appreciate this a lot! Thank you!
The part about the picking technique was an eye opener for me. I will try this out. I wonder which Jason Becker video he referred to. Does anyone know this? I dod not know Jason used this technique too...
I’m really pleased you liked this vid! Hopefully, you will Have time to check out the rest of the channel. Please do subscribers great to be have you on board.
I know, I never saw Becker mention that...
But I've seen a great EVH tutorial where the guy did this...it looked like Eddie's hand and sounded like his pick attack too...I'm GUESSING EVH did it too.
@@jfo3000 Yes, I just recently learned that this was one of the tricks in EVH's bag (from Jude Gold's latest and absolutely fantastic podcast "No Guitar is Safe" tribute and lesson episode on EVH...the whole podcase series is highly recommendable!)
The video is great. Did you use a specific video chat app because it looks way better than zoom
Zoom sucks. Well maybe I should rephrase that because I don’t have the premium zoom. The one that everybody uses records at a very measly 680 P. If you combine that with an iSight camera from Apple it’s just a total mess. What Josh and I did was we both used our own cameras and he sent me his files and I put it together. Some people who don’t have a camera means that we are relegated to using zoom. If you look at my video of me and Aubrey king (my most recent interview), you can see that that’s what we did and it looks really good. Thank you for liking the video. I hope you subscribe to the channel as I have a new interview coming up tomorrow. Not to mention some instructions which I need to get back to doing. Thanks for supporting!
