When I'm in the mood for some scorching hot guitar playing, I never go wrong putting on a Joe Bonamassa track.

He was a child prodigy starting guitar at age 4 and opening for B.B. King at age 12.

Considered a child prodigy on guitar, Bonamassa was finessing Stevie Ray Vaughan licks when he was 7. By the time he was 10, he had caught blues icon B.B. King’s ear, according to his biography. By age 12, Bonamassa was opening shows for King and went on to tour with acts including Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker and Gregg Allman.

Beato does some fun interviews..

Enjoy!
