Joe Robinson [2022]

<p>When Joe Robinson was learning to play in the remote village of Temagog, New South Wales, Australia, YouTube was his teacher. Then he discovered Tommy and Phil Emmanuel—Australia’s sibling 6-string slicers—and set out on a path that would lead him to Nashville, where he’s been a part of the city’s guitar cognoscenti for the past 13 years.</p><p>At 31, Robinson’s fans include&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/rig-rundown-tommy-emmanuel-cgp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tommy Emmanuel</a>&nbsp;(who’s been a committed mentor),&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/rig-rundown-steve-vai" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Steve Vai</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/rig-rundown-robben-ford" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Robben Ford</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-eric-johnson-2018" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eric Johnson</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-totos-steve-lukather" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Steve Lukather</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-albert-lee" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Albert Lee</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-deep-purples-steve-morse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Steve Morse</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/guitarists/lee-ritenour-dreamcatcher" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lee Ritenour</a>.
