3. Great post for tone lovers

Joe is of course a great player, but also such a student of the blues. Very informative view. I think I’ll go plug in my Les Paul now and muck about. Thanks for posting.

4. When Joe starts talking about Koss -- Paul Kossoff of Free -- just

after 26 minutes in, what he's playing there at 26:20 is the song I posted here at

https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1035&pid=4845

His great cover, with Paul Rodgers that night, of Free's "Walk In My Shadow."

Here's the original, with Koss, who died much too young:

I've posted elsewhere about what a prodigy Joe Bonamassa was. The members of Free were all in their teens when they recorded the song above. Koss had started studying classical guitar at the age of 9, but switched to blues-rock when he was 15, after seeing Eric Clapton.
