Straight from Joe’s collection, posted on Joe’s official website. Part of his weekly series “Guitar Of The Week.”
This is a 1931 National Trilolian. The sound of the delta blues. I bought this in Indianapolis in 2001. I was priced lower than the reissues on the rack. Oh well, great buy! – Joe Bonamassa

Not necessarily a new video, but definitely a classic. Joe played on stage with Gov’t Mule in Chicago during October of 2009. They played Albert King’s “Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home.” Warren and Joe need to collaborate on more projects. Two of the best guitar plays on one stage, priceless indeed. Shall we take bets on how long it will be before Joe and Warren work together again? Joe covered If Heartaches Were Nickels on his first studio release, A New Day Yesterday.

At the Seymour Duncan booth at NAMM this past weekend, Joe got to play two blues tunes with the one and only Seymour Duncan. Not did he only jam with him, but we also learned that Seymour Duncan is releasing signature pickups. The Joe Bonamassa Signature Pickups from Seymour Duncan will be a Guitar Center near you in the soon to come future. Above we have Joe Bonamassa on the left and Seymour on the right. You can also see Len Bonamassa in the background. Joe jammed out on his Gibson, while Seymour played his Fender Telecaster.
The Joe Bonamassa Signature dual-humbucker set accurately replicates the P.A.F. pickups in Joe’s beloved 1959 sunburst Les Paul®. Their rich, dynamic, and nuanced voice will appeal to all tone connoisseurs who cherish the passion and power of the original humbucker. Wound on the historic Leesona machine that created humbuckers for Gibson back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the set features an Alnico 2 magnet in the neck pickup and Alnico 3 in the bridge. Period-correct butyrate bobbins, lightly antiqued nickel covers, wooden spacer, and retro-style “Bonamassa” P.A.F. stickers heighten the vintage vibe. Only 1,959 Custom Shop sets will be sold. Each will be hand signed by Seymour Duncan and Joe Bonamassa and include a special USB flash drive with video interviews, special features, and more.

Joe was at NAMM this past weekend. While at the Gibson booth, he unveiled the new signature Paul Kossoff Les Paul. About two years ago, Joe got to play Paul’s original 59’ Les Paul. From that moment on, Joe has been part of the design process. In the video, Joe compares the signature LP to the real deal, they are dead on! What an honor for Joe to be part of such an amazing experience.

If you’re in LA tonight for NAMM, do not miss this! Head on over to the House of Blues where Eric Johnson will be playing. Sitting in with Eric tonight will be Joe Bonamassa. Not sure on how many songs Joe will play, but I imagine it will be several. Joe and Eric last got together in late 2011 while Joe toured through Texas! This is a last minute surprise, posted on Joe’s Facebook moments ago. Hope you can make it.

Joe and Rock Candy Funk Party played at the Baked Potato last night. Two sold out crowds were in attendance. Also spotted in the audience was Steve Perry (Journey), Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden), and Dave Amato (REO Speedwagon).
Rock Candy Funk Party consists of Arlan Schierbaum (Keys), Ron DeJesus (guitar), Mike Merritt (Bass), Joe Bonamassa (Guitar), and Tal Bergman (Drums). Joe’s good friend Beth Hart came out for a few numbers last night. They played an eleven minute version of I’d Rather Go Blind (Etta James) with Beth Hart on vocals.. just killer!
They also played Crossroads, which is a great song. Last time we heard Joe do this song was when he had Eric Johnson join him on stage in Texas late 2011. Beth Hart also came up during the first set to sing For My Friend. Were you there last night? Comment on this post and share you experience.. I will post more YouTube videos as they come up. Many thanks to Rick Beck for recording last night. Until next time…
More YouTube videos……
