Joe Bonamassa – Different Shades Of Blue Released

New video of “Different Shades of Blue” from blues guitar great Joe Bonamassa – what do you guys think?

Nice to see him play a Fender Strat, usually he’s a Gibson, Marshall guy. The cutting, clean edge of the strat brings out a new urgency and bite to his soloing doesn’t it?

I personally find this more melodic (dare I say mainstream) than much of Joe’s stuff….nice change, still has the same killer guitar solo.   I wouldn’t want to hear too much from Joe in this vein, but totally see it fitting in with his various other influences and genres.

What do you think?
