Topic: Hello, My name is Steve and I'm a guitaraholic

Hello all,

I'm new here and wanted to say hi to you all. I have been a JB fan since the John Henry cd, so relatively new compared to most probably. I finally got to see Joe and Rock Candy play last week and it was awesome. I was able to get some cool shots, meet him, and get the new Rock Candy cd signed. He couldn't have been a more genuine and nice person.

To see him play in person and that close gave me a new appreciation for his musicianship and I can't wait to get out to more of his shows.

The John Henry album is probably my fav too. I've been reading about Joe since 2001.

I think you'll enjoy our gear section if you're a guitaraholic!

Thank you Jim. I have been watching the clips of the show from the night before and the second set from the one I went to. Phenomenal playing by all.
I have also found that you can pair your PS3 with your iphone and search for stuff on youtube with your phone and it plays on the tv (for those that don't have internet or app ready tvs). Seeing him play the solo to Animal/Work was awesome.
