    Josh Smith is a ferocious blues guitarist.
    But his most brilliant approach is actually amazingly simple.
    Using this one trick, he creates a melody and a song every time he plays the blues!

Josh also seems like a really nice, articulate and personable guy, so he is very easy to watch and listen to when he is talking about how he approaches guitar playing.

Recently, you turned me on to Tom Bukovac. What an amazingly skilled, knowledgeable and creative player he is. He is also a hoot! He's got a great sense of humor and humorous mannerisms to go with it. Tim, your skill and love of sharing wonderful, creative ideas is really special! Thanks so much for dedication and all you offer the musical community!!!

    In jazz I think they call it exposition, development and recapitulation. Josh is one of my all time favorites...His phrasing is out of this world and he's got the elusive Albert Collins burn and tone taken to the next level. Just an amazing player. Tim is a monster too, he's so good it makes me smile.

    Nice nice nice. Loved the feel and tone on all that stuff Josh was playing, he's got it. Also I dug the fast slap and reverb aspects of his tone, might have liked to hear more about how that doesn't get in the way.
    Now, that turn around you did Tim, over the five from about 9:43-49 was sweet. All those little 1/2 step slide downs tucked into that descending form, and then coming out with the double stops on the way back up, you are an inspiration I must say.

    This whole concept reminds me of the John Mayer video where he goes to Berkely College Of Music and jams with Tomo Fujita and explains this exact idea. And when Tomo plays the entire audience goes nuts when he plays just a simple phrase but plays it with finesse and John says "now you have the entire neck left to go wherever you want".
