My New Favorite Guitarist

According to Slash, Joe Bonamassa is his new favorite guitarist. It’s quite impressive how big Joe has become amongst other guitar players. Look at what has happened for Joe over the past 10 years! Anyways, here is the message Slash posted on his twitter:

“Just saw Joe Bonamassa on Jools Holland again. He’s definitely my new favorite guitarist.”

Joe and Slash met a while ago, was a few years ago actually. If I remember correctly, it was at a convention. Here is a picture from that convention of Joe and Slash together – pulled it out from the archives.
