Reminder that Joe Cumia is so desperate for people to listen to him play guitar that he signed up for an amateur contest at Guitar Center so he could play for a bunch of Big Jay look-alikes.

I don't know much about guitars but I know that this sounds like fucking shit

Even if it sounded ok, he looks like such an old, out of shape, shlubby nerd doing it.

It's good for a 9th grader in a high school Jazz band.

Joe never graduated so he's in like 40th now

No, he's still in 12th. He's just been held back a lot.

It should surprise no one that all the main riffs were stolen directly from Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, The Outlaws, and SRV. Undoubtedly more, those are just the ones I recognized despite his attempts at shitty flair variations. The entire slide part was lifted note for note from Warren Haynes.

And the Rory Gallagher-Cradle Rock intro when he does that stupid waddle

He dresses like a bum.

Typical fuckin' weekend at any Guitar Center in the US. Just some loud asshole playing the same shit over and over again. That fuckin' retard waddle at 2:54 says it all. Listen to any audio of Anthony trashing blues music and you'll see what he's talking about.

Haha that dumb waddle. What a piece of elderly shit.

He got the girl though, never forget

He’s a cartoon character

i thought these people could play the blues? is this one just especially lazy and stupid?

Joe thinks virtuosity=how fast you can play.

Whatever that is he’s playing is the laziest, most obnoxious high school talent show piece of trash I’ve heard in a long time.

Please remind me, for how many year this shit has been the central part of his life?

Holy shit is this unimpressive. Look at everyone just sitting there waiting for their turn to bore the shit out of each other. Some really uninspired, hacky playing there fatso.

Absolutely trash it is. Embarrassed for everyone in that store.

Very reminiscent of Bobo reading CQ's tweets at Thanksgiving, or that dinner party trope where the parents trot out their piano 'prodigy' to play chopsticks for a bunch of bored, drunk guests.

I love how nobody paid attention to Bobo in that video so you know he never shuts the fuck up about the show ."Ugggghg bluuuug I wasn't on da show for a while and they let me back on ugggghg blugggg Colin promised to give me tickets to A Long Shory Stort but he never did".

Lol, he's fucking terrible.

He completely changes keys when he puts on the slide. The slide playing was absolutely horrendous btw.

When BOC was talking about an amateur musician, this is it -- no cohesion. Honestly it sounds like someone playing who is blackout drunk. It's just a mashing together of nonsense, get it all in, show off the whole repertoire, almost like he's going through a check list in his head, as oppose to just playing music.

Also the shredding attempts where horrendous. You're not fast enough to do that u/doxxer100 Way to understand what a blues competition is, ass.

“When I pull out the slide, they’ll never know what him em’”
