      For me, there is no talk about who is better. All three are masters of the guitar. But I will say that I much preferred Joe's tone to the other two. Now that could be cause it was his show/project, so he had everything he wanted...But, the three together was a gift that they even enjoyed, and as a player myself, that does not happen often, so when it does, it becomes a gift to those in the audience...👍🎸🎶🎵🎼

      Agreed. Funny how the great guitar players themselves never seem to get in an argument over who the "best" is but rather compliment their peers over their talent and experience. I really like Joe because he respects the artform of the blues and those giants who paved the way for him and others. And even though he probably could be worth ten times what he is now if he had sold out to 'the system' and let the corporations mold him into a pop star, he has become a strong advocate for KTBA and works with some of the best musicians in the business. Now if someone would just convince him to contact another music 'rebel', Jennifer Warnes, and see what the two of them could come up with, I could die a happy man!

      Whoever is "best" is the one your ears tell you who you enjoy listening to
      the most. The blues is not a speed contest, loudness or string bending contest.....in my opinion it's about taste and choosing the right notes. That's why I favor Robben Ford. He is always tasteful and doesn't overplay.

      @@mariodriessen9740 I hate comments like yours, if people feel that an artist is underrated it probably has merit in their eyes. You hearing of a particular musician doesn't mean that enough people know who he is. If I went out and asked 100 people do you think they'd all say they know who he is? I doubt they would, so he is underrepresented or more generally underrated. That's my .02 that nobody asked for but I felt like I needed to call you out on your unwanted .02. Have a nice day.

      @mariodriessen9740 Před 3 lety +27

      B. Cook ; I’m sorry I offended you, or anyone. I never intended to offend people. And maybe this will turn into a semantic matter, but there is, in my opinion anyway, a huge difference between being underrepresented or being underrated. I think we all agree that Josh Smith is a fabulous guitarist. And that’s exactly my point. He’s absolutely not underrated, but he is indeed underrepresented. However, you could say the exact same thing about a man like John Scofield, Danny Gatton and even Pat Metheny. Ask 100 random people and you’d be pleased to find two who know all of them. We’re on the same boat here. The only reason I reacted on this comment was to point out the fact that Josh is crazy good and I have never met a guitar player who believed otherwise. So does that make him underrated? Not in my world. And if he is, then he’s not the only person on that stage that’s underrated. And that’s the only point I was trying to make. I’m not a troll and I don’t feel the urge to bash anyone. Do great guitar players (or instrumentalists in general) get the praise they deserve? Absolutely not. Is it our ‘fault’? I don’t think so. I’d be amazed if people who are watching this video will think he’s underrated. Have a nice day. And remember, I’m not your enemy.

    When the musicians walk on stage together they aren’t looking to be ‘the best individual’, they are making music TOGETHER. Without the band there’s nothing, without a collective desire to drive the song forward there’s nothing, without communication (either verbal or musically) there’s nothing. These musicians breath this stuff, they appreciate each other’s talents and bring out the best in the song or solo. Watch a great musician and you’ll see give and take, you’ll see a love for the moment and the emotion they create for their audience. This is a unique moment that can’t be repeated, enjoy it for what it is. It’s not a competition.
