Topic: Hello from the Great Blue North

Hello everyone from the great white north.  This is my fist post and I have been a blues guy since my mother started playing blues records in the 50s.  I love electric blues and have recently discovered Joe.  I have several of his albums and his Killer  DVD from the Royal Albert Hall.  I am a big fan of Robben Ford, Ronnie Earl, Gary Moore, Buddy Guy, Clapton, and of course now Joe.
I have 16 Electric guitars including 4 Les Pauls, a 335, original 1968 SG, Sheraton II, 8 Strats, and a Robben Ford Style Esprit.
My amps are a DSL100, Fender 65 DRRI, Blues Junior special Edition,  Marshall DSL401 combo,
Marshall Lead 100 Mosfet 1989 SS amp, and an Avatar 2/12 cab. 
I use mainly Fulltone pedals and have a whole array of them, and a DD20 for Delay.
I am looking for any guitar tabs that Joe might have put out for some of his songs.
I think a great project would be for Joe to release an "As recorded" version in tab and music notation  of his Albert Hall concert. 
If you can point to any tab books or sources please let me know.

Re: Hello from the Great Blue North

Hey zman,

Welcome aboard! I'm assuming "Great White North" means Canada, correct?

As far as tab books, there are two that I'm aware of and both are listed in the JB Store (index at top of page). It looks like "Play It Like It Is" is out of stock, but it is readily available on eBay. Also, there are a number of tabs of Joe's songs available online. If you do a search of this forum for tabs you will probably get quite a few results.

Hey thanks, and yes it is Canada, although my recent trip to Florida could make that the Great Cold South.   
I have several books of songs by my favourites, and they are note for note transcriptions of as recorded Albums.  Clapton, SRV, Buddy Guy, Gary Moore all have them and they are great to learn the songs.  You use the album and your cd  playback along with the books to learn the songs  An excellent tool.
I will look for the ones on this site, but I really don't like someone else take on the song, as a lot of the tab sites are, not to mention the constant bombarding by viruses at those sites.  I try to learn the intro and the basic solos, and then add my style to them.

Welcome to Joe's Forum zman, *handshake* Good to see Canadians here. Also, congratulations on a great Winter Olympics, and coming top of the medal table! Well done!
Question: What was your first exposure to Joe B ?
Thanks,
~ Brack ~
