Joe Bonamassa Backstage Tips with Dan Erlewine
Dan Erlewine visits backstage with the great blues guitarist, Joe Bonamassa and his highly experienced tech, Mike Hickey. Joe talks guitars with Dan, and Mike shares two guitar setup tips.
Mike Bloomfield’s Telecaster
Interesting bit of guitar history.
Dan Erlewine first saw this Tele back in the 1960s, before Mike Bloomfield recorded with it on Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited album. That was also before Bloomfield and Dylan were booed for going electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. And before Bloomfield recorded the first Paul Butterfield Blues Band album with this guitar. There’s a lot of history in this Telecaster!
Bill Kirchen and Dan Erlewine talk Telecaster
I got to see Bill Kirchen live a few times. Highly recommend!
