Joe Bonamassa Interview with Guitar Center

Guitar Center recently interviewed Joe Bonamassa. As you'd expect, the interview covers Joe's influences, his signature Gibson Les Paul, the future of the blues, and his approach to letting people tape his shows:

I don't understand artists who don't let people film their concerts and hire a bunch of goons to roam the audience and harass fans. These days people want to check you out before they buy a ticket to one of your shows, and YouTube lets them do that. If they like what they see, they tell their friends or they email it to their friends and it goes viral. It's a great way to market your band, and it doesn't cost you that much, if anything at all."
