Hello, Iâm Joe - Iâm a guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, recording engineer and teacher!
On this channel youâll find my original songs, covers and solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements. My favorite music doesnât fit neatly in a box so you may hear me play folk, blues, jazz, & classic rock - you can call it what you want; I feel honored to speak this timeless language of melody, harmony & rhythm.
I was born on May 25th 1991 in Kempsey, NSW, Australia. Since 2010 I have been based in the US and currently live in the Rocky Mountains of Montana with my wife, Genevieve (who teaches illustration on CZcams!).
I play Maton acoustic guitars, made in Australia (just like me) and am very proud to have my own signature instrument, the JR Signature!
In addition to song performances, you will also find guitar lessons, chord breakdowns, TAB, tutorials, gear reviews and other guitarist related content to help you stay inspired on the instrument.
I stream high quality livestream concerts regularly, if youâd like to be notified when I announce a livestream, you can put your email in here: joes.lnk.to/LivestreamEmail

Cheers!

The story of a boy who didn't sign the contract. Can't wait for part 2!!!
Joe,
I immediately subscribed to your channel the first time I heard you play. I'm 66 years old and have been around music my whole life. Your talent, humble personality and innate drive are what make superstars. Your honesty and ability to look at your life from 2,000 feet, is your key to growth and success. You have a beautiful fiance and I'm sure will have a beautiful family in time. Life is short and you certainly have, and will continue to make the sacrifices and decisions to make the most of it! Thanks for letting us come along for the ride!
Incredible story mate'
Some of the lessons I get from this are:
1) Find and focus on a passion
2) Dedication & persistance
3) The Tel-lie-vision is a distraction
4) Be very careful what you sign.
5) Surround yourself with those you aspire to.
6) Dont lose the Love.
"Best wishes from Vic AU Joe"
What a beautiful story Joe. You really did the hard work, took the risks, and went for it with all you had. It's really inspiring, just like your playing.
Duuude, what a story. Made me smile, I had to learn the piano until I was 14, so I âborrowedâ my Dads guitar when he was at work to practice like crazy.
Anyways, I found you a while ago on Spotify, you are my number one musician on the planet, love your songs and your technique. You ARE gifted, no doubt, but you also spent blood, sweat and tears to get there. Amazing man, respects âđ»
Great story on the value of making a solid commitment to do something.
I have known Admirals, generals and fighter pilots who grew up 100 miles from a paved road and went to school in a one room school house. Being relatively free from a lot of modern distractions might be a key part of the recipe.
Ive retired now but I played Country music
.......full time for 30 years out there ... Good for you.
A story of determination, self belief, sacrifice, HARD WORK, passion. You are extremely good at your calling and craft, and I love listening to you. Great job mate! Congratulations! Thank you. God đđœ Bless
Great story. People should NEVER lose sight of their dream.......!!
You are a wonderful person, not only because you give free lessons, but this story that you used to collect money for people with your concerts is wonderful, greetings from Croatia where Mr. Tommy Emmanuel has played many times and I hope that one day you will too come to us in Croatia to show us your skills, which you have to spare, thank you very much for the lessons, you are excellent â€â€đđ
Hey Joe, as an old rocker from the 70s, I have seen your TedX the other day, first time seeing you. WTF! Lad, you blew me away. I have found out you know Tommy E. who I also have met a few times here in PA, USA. Watching your technique is simply an amazing feat. With that, I am glad you were stuck in the outback "having" to learn your ass off. Which you have. Congrats to you! I look forward to meeting you one day. I have an apartment in NYC, Greenwich Village. Between myself and a close friend, we have around 80 vintage guitars. Chet Atkins is one of my favorite players, I have a few of his vintage Gretsches. My favorite being a 64 Chet Atkins Countryman. Which was also George Harrison's favorite. Seeing the young lads like yourself taking the guitar to these new levels is a mind-blower. For me, it was learning how Jimmy Page tuned up for songs like The Rain Song and Black Water Slide, or Black waterside, originally by Bert Jansch, who I also got to know back in 1980s in San Francisco. Those were tough tunes to work out. Now, 40 years later, to see your talent at playing such quickly laid out melodies is mindblowing. Tell Tommy I said hey, and look forward to seeing the both of you one day, touring the states, here... Oh, that's right, your in Nashville!! Well, I know a bunch of players down in town there. So one day I may tap you on the shoulder and request a lesson in 21st Century Guitar!!! Enjoy... The sky's the limit, Brother!
Big respect for holding firm against the contract
One of the best motivational videos Iâve ever watched! You deserve everything that you get for the hard work that youâve done but the fact that your doing exactly what you want to do and loving it is priceless. Keep climbing!
Good onya Joe
Thanks Mike!!
What a great story............................................. You earned it.
looks so sharp bro! loving these videos
Joe, thanks for everything you do to provide us with not only music but story. I think, what we can all get from your story, is just persevering through your goals. No matter what they are, we canât be swayed by the things that steers us away from our goals, even if it provides monetary values beyond what our own dreams can provide. Glad you didnât sign the contract obviously but more happy that you paved the way and not take âthe easy way outâ. Iâm like a big believer in âchoices dictates the futureâ. You may not have met Genevieve if you had signed that contract many years ago and your Nashville dreams would definitely be pushed back. Much love, Joe, and I hope (when this COVID virus gets controlled) to travel to see you play and talk it up again.
Joe I love your authenticity, your love for music, and your hard earned talent... keep it up mate!
That was awesome Joe, thanks for sharing your inspiring story!
This is such an inspiring story mate. Thanks for this. Not just for the guitar but being determined to be committed to your passion/craft/skill. Love it mate. seriously. (liked/subbed even before the video started but wish I can like and sub more after this vid!)
Great story Joe! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Thank you Joe for sharing your wonderful and incredible success storyâŠ..WOW. I felt your humbleness and determination in your story that kept me âspell boundâ as we say here in North Carolina. Love your picking. God Bless You!
Wow! What a story. Thanks for sharing.
Thatâs an amazingly inspiring and motivating story! Iâm going to pick up my guitar and practice now.
By the way, Iâm 71 years young.....
LOVE
Funny. I am 61 years OLD.
This is a great video Joe! Love your backstory and the decisions you made. Your courses are top notch.
Thanks Joe great to know more of your story!
Thank you for sharing your story, raise my hat to you in respect for all that hard work and dedication starting from such a young age.âïž
Thank you! This was inspiring and eye-opening!
Thatâs a beautiful story Joe. Thanks for sharing.
What a great story Joe! Passion and hard work pay off! You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing your story!
you are the best, love your stuff
That was just brilliant. Thank you for sharing Joe.
What a great story Joe says a lot about your success, you were so motivated, thanks sharing this experience. Also, you cant imagine how much your youtube lessons mean to me and im sure many many others. Thanks so much for sharing your gift, talent, and hard work.
What a great story. Seeing all your hard work and dedication from such a young age come to fruition is so inspiring. (I'm twice your age!) We love your music and your style of playing, and we are really looking forward to seeing you live here in Illinois next week!
Joe, I love these types of story videos. Please keep them coming. Obviously enjoy the playing too no doubt. These story style videos are so watchable here on youtube though. Cant wait for the next one. (Nice cliff hanger with the 'that's for another video though')
That's really great story. So much sacrifices have made who you are now man đȘ
Great story Joe and such an inspiring one. I'm still playing guitar after 50 years and still in love with it. Saw the Emmanuel Bros back in the 80s and was an instant fan. And it's great that they mentored you because that's the magnanimous nature of their craft and yours. Sometimes , as you say, difficulty can drive us to follow our passions and life that we lead. Fortune favours the brave. All the best to you. You are a brilliant player and I've seen lots of great ones. Thank you. Best , from "down under".
what a fantastic story so inspirational im looking forward to listening to you now and in the future
Great insight man! Loved hearing this story in detail.
Have no clue how I stumbled across your video but so glad I did. Extremely motivating, getting up at 4am to practise before school hit hard man. Subbed for more.
Very inspirational and shows just what you can accomplish if you put your mind to it. Don't ever let anyone tell you "you can't do it" for any reason.Great video !
Beyond being a tremendous guitar player, the transparency in your eyes show how great of a human being you are, too. Congrats
Nicely done Joe!
I loved your story! It is the story of a young man with a lot of Determination, Discipline, Will Power, and Courage ! God Bless you Joe. Youâre such an inspiration for so many Young Players ! Keep Up the good work.
Inspirational. I share your videos as they come up on Facebook, and my friends' comments are uniformly raves. I've spent happy hours trying to figure out your chord voicings- "Georgia On My Mind" has been especially satisfying. Can't pretend to anything like your skill, but thanks for what I can grasp. We'll continue to enjoy "Live From Home"- a regular part of our weekend here in northern California. Wishing you continuing success!
Superb mate! Well done x
Great story! Really enjoy your channel and style of teaching.
Great story Joe !!! Good luck to you always!!!đâïžđđđđđ
great and amazing story really admire, good job brother ,wishing all the best
Great story, well-told. I love how the title suggests this is a story about Joe Robinson, but in fact it's as much about your parents, friends, inspirations, and role models who inspired and supported you as it is about you. I'm amazed that you were able to go through the AGT show without signing a contract-and impressed that you had the wisdom and confidence to stick to your principles. And God bless your parents for being so supportive of your passion. Bravo! -Tom
I absolutely love how you included my favorite clip from american dad
your story is so inspiring!
You are an inspiration. Beautiful.
Thank god you blew that 250,000 . I know for sure you`re the real deal . Which you are by the way regardless . You are a great talent .
Such a good video man! Your drive is inspiring and I donât think Iâve ever said the word âinspiringâ before ha.
What an awesome story. I love seeing people who are passionate, no matter what their passion is.
Great story Joe, amazing determination, congratulations. I also love and play guitar here in Chile. I introduced you to my family and friends. They all love your playing. Congratulations. I enjoy watching you play and singing is very good a great complement to playing.
You're not only one of the most incredible guitar players I have ever heard, but your perceptions and equation for success are astounding. Your success route could carry over into any field... sports, writing, teaching, etc. You will be a role model for young people just like yourself. You are my number one guitar hero young man. God bless you.
I love Nashville, used to live there. I saw your first vid, rocking around the Christmas tree, love it. You're playing reminded me of Tommy's. Lol and behold, u know them. You're blessed bro. I really enjoy your playing. Lots of people that u mentioned I've listened to..esp Chet, Jerry, Tommy..so on. Keep playing! Your skill really shows..I "feel" the music.
Joe, I'm 49 and you are one of MY heroes!
Had the pleasure of watching you on Australiaâs Got Talent.
Amazing early life story. I've been a fan for quite a while, but did not know how beautifully it all started. Fly high!
I always love learning the back stories about how great musicians got where they are. The history brings out all the relatable info of the journey that everyone takes to master something. Thanks for sharing this! Youâve been a big inspiration to me lately.
Thanks Michael - that means a lot. All the best mate.
Do you realize that your face just lights up when you talk about music? :) It is absolutely amazing that your passion and obsession started when you were so young. You have put so much time and energy into your craft, it's not much of a surprise that you continue to improve. I'm trying to imagine how you will be playing in a few more years lol Anyway, you have yourself a faithful fan here (and I'm not the only one ). I've always loved listening to all kinds of music, but I was never very familiar with the fingerpicking style. So when I came across some of your videos, you introduced me to a whole new world of music that I have come to love. Thank you so much for that. Sorry this is so long :) Love to you and Gen!! xx
Just wooooooow man, you talk about being inspired, omg! You stuck to your guns and structured your life around your music and successfully pulled it off đ kudos
â€ïžđ¶â€ïž i love it Joe ! You are one of the most amazing talent singer musician of the 21st century đđđđ all the best to you Joe đ Thank you đđđ
What an inspirational person & musician. I love it. And flair, focus & feedback. I will now want to practise more & be deliberate with my play & music. God bless & thank you đ„°đđđ¶đŻ
I remember, good times
I'm Brazilian and sometimes I have a hard time understanding an Australian speaking. God bless your accent hahaha
Cool story man. Good for you for not letting them pressure you. I really dig your music kid. I think you're one of those rare people who has the drive and talent to achieve your dreams. Beat of luck to you.
Hey JoeRob!!! Youâre amazing guy!!!! Love your lifeâs journey as one of the greatest musician in the whole world!!
Only just got around to watching this - wow! what a story! can't wait for part 2 :)
Well done for sticking to your guns Joe!!
I love watching to hear you tell your story đđžâ€ïž
Thanks so much Svein :)
Joe. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION. YOU INSPIRE ME TO BE BETTER!! Thank you!! xoxoS
Inspirational. Don't sell yourself short. You WERE that great. And that you had the balls to stand up to SONY as well as a TV production company⊠I know the industry and a few bands who are friends of mine were screwed by Atlantic (among others). I'd been asked to join Lucy Brown only days before the lead dropped from a heart attack. That wasn't so long after having lost another band slot thanks to a drunk driver.
Stay awesome, Joe. And Molly still loves "Fireflies". So does my younger son Harry.
BTW, Nashville's the center but have you spent a few Blues nights out at Beale Street in Memphis? Do your whatever you can to catch Richard Johnston doing his one-man-band gig in front of the New Dixie all the way down the road.
So beautiful the way you tell your story! congrats :)
Joe this video is AWESOME! Incredible.
Thanks so much Anthony!!! Best to you and Karen mate, so many great memories of early days in Nashville.
hi joe.You are my favorite guitar player. Your work has given me strength and imagination many times. It filled me with confidence when I was confused. I look forward to the improvement of the epidemic and you can come to China to perform. I hope you will take care of your health.đđđđ
Inspirational!! đ
Loved this video Joe. I discovered you when you opened for Tommy Emmanuel a few years ago in Northampton, Mass. I had no idea who you were until that show. You blew me away that night. We spoke very briefly when I bought one of your CD's in the lobby, and I've been a big fan ever since. My favorite part of this video is how you kept refusing to sign their stock contract; love it!
Joe, I just watched this one, thanks for making this. Itâs always cool and interesting to hear how someone rises above challenges. I noticed your book collection in the back. Donât forget to keep making your book videos. Itâs interesting what grabs peoples interest. You should read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Oh, and also, Confederacy Of Dunce's by JK Toole. But the trick with that one is you have to hear the audio book because the narrator brings it to life. Itâs on CZcams. By the way, just saw Billy Strings in Sacramento. Really great show. Would love to see you two jam. Tommy Emmanuel probably has the connect to make that happen. Marcus King is another one. Antonio Rey and Philip Sayce ! Hope to see you on the road again soon Joe!
Thank you for sharing with us this so interesting and motivating story.
You're a real inspiration mate. I admire your tenacity.
I'm gonna learn from your example and set up a practice routine for myself. I'm 32 this year, my baby daugher is 1 y.o and I picked up the guitar specifically so I could play all the Chet Atkins tunes like Windy & Warm, Wheels, Baby Coming Home to my daughter & show her the wonderful world of thumb picking.
Hell, maybe she'll find it cool enough and make a name for herself like u did.
Wow, that's seriously cool.
Fabulous story. Thrilling. Honest. Worth knowing.
Seems so long ago now. The footage of your win is a favourite of mine for the image of your grandparents Barbara and Bob, so ecstatic for you. No doubt in my mind they were your biggest fans. Sad theyâre not here to see you now but youâre still doing them proud đ
Great Video young man. Remember you are some young person's guitar hero right now-thanks for being such an encouragement!
Hi Joe,
Thanks so much for sharing your story.
I loved the story, it reminds me of my childhood, I grew up in NSW too in the bush.
Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunities that I needed.
I'm a singer learning guitar later in life, I've been talking with Anthony Snape and lots of Australian artists and my goal is to be good enough to go to Nashville and write songs and perform.
I have recently completed a Co-write with an Aussie artist who has the National number 1 and top 5 plays internationally.
So I have a long way to go but I need to work harder like you have.
I wish you a the best and I hope you have some awesome shows with Phil and Tommy Emmanuel and many others.
You truly are incredible mate đ€ đ€đ”đžđđđđČ
Great story. Amazing comitment . Well done Joe
Heartening to see real talent get through the reality tv monster. I've only just`discovered' you as I really can't stand the continuing barrage of similar shows. You are brilliant and obviously also persuing a great love of music,more power to you.
I love this video and story, Joe. đ„đȘ
You probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother during the lockdown xD
@Jay Zander Definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Great story. â€â€â€â€â€
We are so proud of "our" boy Joe and yes...you've got better!!! I may be mistaken but I believe you also won Crescent Head's Got Talent? Well...if you can win THAT the skies your limit. All the best to you and Gen, I wish you many, many years of health and happiness x x
That is true Anne!!! I have my Crescent Head Idol trophy from 2007 I think.. the prize was a pretty huge flat screen TV, I think it still works!! Lots of love to everybody back home
Fantastico my friend!
Great story mate. Remember well watching you on AGT. Miss hearing the late great P.E.
You're great dude, really cool
No wonder you are so brilliant! Thank you for sharing your story with us. You have a great personality to match your talent! Greetings from Dubai
Thank you Christine! I hope to visit Dubai someday. All the best to you!
@@Joe_Robinson let me know if you do. Iâll let you know the best places to visit. Just make sure that you plan your trip between November and May. The summer months are extremely hot and humid.
Would be awesome if you could perform at Dubai Opera!
I can also say that time really flies by when you put a timer on and say "I'm going to work on (insert skill) for 15 minutes". I've been doing that a little bit for the past couple months, and It's incredible what results I've gotten.
Awesome!!
