COVER STORY Joe Bonamassa’s Great Moment in the Studio with the Nocaster If you met me, and I didn’t know who you were, and you wanted to play one track off of this record to say this is me, this is my voice --The one that sums me up the best is “No Good Place for the Lonely”. I think that playbook, British Blues rock, with a guitar freak out at the end, I think that’s intrinsically my stamp. For me, mostly it’s the best really when you boil it down. That’s my stamp. What guitar did you use? Joe Bonamassa by Christie Goodwin Oddly enough, I used the Tweed Twin, the Bassman, and a ‘51 Nocaster that somebody conveniently, and inconveniently, put a PAF in the front position, which is killer. And it’s out of phase in the middle, so its got that quacky Peter Green thing, and then the back pickup is a flat pole and it roars. 42 GUITAR TRICKS INSIDER DIGITAL EDITION OCT/NOV
