Always love Bonamassa whenever he talks about a guitar.
It's pretty amazing how more people don't use their tone controls. I pretty much keep my bridge pickup tone on my LP at about 5-6. Duane Allman was CONSTANTLY using the tone knobs on his guitars.
The last bit is great advice. Think about what else is in the band and where your tone needs to fit.
Les Paul in middle position is no different than blending channels on a plexi. Once I understood this, it opened up so many tonal possibilities with my Gibsons and any other guitar with same wiring/volume/tone knobs. Love Guitarist! Love Joe B!
Joe killing it with tone straight through a Princeton and a burst ! LOVE it. 👍

He's a great musician and a humble guy who shares his hard-won knowledge. Can't ask or expect more out of a guy than that.
I love these little mini lessons.......you can learn one heck of a lot!! Thanks Joe!!
Amazing how no one teaches this instead of Joe. None of the online guitar courses tell you what the knobs on your guitar do.
Over the years, Joe has won me over with his modesty and willingness to share what he's doing over the journey. Saw him open for Mule when he was with Bloodline a little while ago...
Thanks Joe..I'm a Strat player..Didnt kno so many tones could a Les Paul make..Thanks for working for The Man..love your music...stay humble..we appreciate you bro....
Playing an electric guitar through a cranked tube amplifier is most certainly a skill, and one worth exploring. As always Joe is sharing his knowledge. I was amazed after I installed '50s wiring in my Les Paul, the volume and tone controls become interactive, you really need to spend time learning how a tone adjustment can affect volume and vise-versa. Great Content, thank you
Its great when someone like Joe confirms some of my own experiences. Not all ,but some. Thanks Joe
It’s good to see the different ways to change the feel and tone of a Les Paul . It’s endless possibilities . And inspiration .
I played the skinner burst at Rumble Seat before Joe bought it. Def incredible memory
Thanks for making the time Joe...we appreciate it.
Thank you Joe. I'm sure I speak for a bunch of us when I say that I love seeing these videos hearing and seeing you talk about the guitar, the history, tips and tricks and of course hearing you speak about what your doing musically with the instrument. KTBA!
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience and tips with us, Joe!
I love Joe and what he does for music and instruments. And at 7:45 I think I heard him miss a bend... I never thought it could happen, he's so incredible. And I'm glad to know he's also mortal after all these years!!!!
