Even Pros go out of tune

[Lev]

This is a great performance by Joe Bonamassa but watch him struggle to keep his guitar in tune. Great volume swells at the start too.

The guy's a wizard, without a doubt. Best blues player to come along since SRV, IMO.

BTW, after playing that clip, this came up in the YouTube associated links list and is worth a listen. Pretty cool blues clip from NAMM'07 featuring Warren Haynes, Pat Travers, and Joe Bonamassa:

You can see his Marshall Jubilee's in the beginning of the clip...

That's why you never do your first set with new strings. Love that single coil bizzzzzzzz in the background too. *thumbs up*

Joe is monsterous and an all around great fun guy. I wish they still made that leslie sim pedal he's using.

 

[Robert]

What leslie pedal is he using?

 

[Tone2TheBone]

What leslie pedal is he using?

It's on that youtube video of him showing his amps and equipment. We have a thread about it somewhere here at the Fret. I can't remember the name of the pedal but it does a really good leslie sim and he said they don't make them anymore. Look for the thread.

I love it. This is great. I really like the volume knob thing he's doing. He makes it sound like a violin.

Yes, he is really fighting with the guitar to keep it in tune. Must be new strings.

I have noticed that my "G" string starts to go out of tune more than the others, and it is the one I am tending to bend more than the rest for some reason. Does that make sense, and indicate I am getting ready for new strings again? I am on my second set now on the strat I have had since October, playing it about 20-30 min per day most days of the week on average.

Generally when I start having tuning problems, I know it's time for a string change. It could also be binding at the nut on that particular string.
