I'm thinking more of his between song banter, the fact that he double loops a couple of things by accident and his singing voice. If he just did guitar covers on youtube and played solo's he'd be good but a terrible Liverpool accent saying, "John was always me favorite" is just so bad it's good. Remember when The Beatles talked like fucking pirates? I sure don't.
The 50 second mark or so is my favorite, when he says "It frees me up to play leads just like Eric" just his expression and I bet he actually thinks hes as good as Clapton. Dude literally does nothing but play other peoples music. Its sad.
The whole intro is pretty great. "Looper...DIGITECH looper" who gives a shit what brand it is. I bet he's so delusional that he thinks he could possibly get free shit from them WHEN they see this video.
holy shit you dumb fucks are hating this guy for nothing at this point....yeah this is mediocre when compared to an actual musician but he is definitely more talented than any of you shit dicks.
He's not a bad guitar player but his singing voice is bad and his stage banter is laughable. It's like Hot Love Highway, except David Brent is a better singer.
I come from an extremely musical family. I can say with the utmost confidence that I can play any instrument better than him and am a way better singer. I can also write original music.
He is sloppy as shit. You know when you hear some idiot say they can sweep pick and they just drag their lazy fingers across the neck and can't actually pick out one clean note? Every lead he does has that vibe to it. I bet Joe never touches a guitar when he's at home.
Mea Culpa. Upon further review most of these songs are one-takes. Kinda talented. He’s ACES in my book! I should tweet him and see if he’s available to play some gigs in the Midwest shit hole I live in. Back line and other expenses shouldn’t be so much for his solo act.
That one at 13m44s is great also because he loops him accidentally hitting the strings while making a beat and keeps it in. There really is a lot of cringy gems hidden in this video.
i really don't understand why whatever video effect is on this has been applied to the text as well. when the end credits roll they're only partially visible and ripple around a bit as they crawl up the screen. most of the song titles are half cropped out. it's almost like he wasn't satisified with what the production company gave him so he loaded the video file into imovie and just did random shit to it that he thought looked cool... it's really weird.

That's a little too harsh, he is not a bad guitar player. Yet Solo Joe always makes me think of this: https://youtu.be/YMBu2eFIHXg?t=4

Makes sense, that's part of the live music experience. Bad reading on my part.

I cant stand his guitar face. It looks like he's squeezing a shit out. Which is kind of is.

That tendency does go with the behaviour of yelling at rob Pearlman over Twitter as if he is going to answer.

Why is he explaining how a looper pedal works and why is he acting as though he's addressing an audience? He's in an empty room as far as I can tell.
Everything he does is unnecessarily pretentious and convoluted. Just play your damn songs without trying to be a character you shaved ape.

He’s been doing this since he was 18. Coulda been a rockstar.

THIS IS A LOOPER

Listening to his Phil Collins cover made me contemplate suicide for even finding it

Nice post-production overdubs of your harmonies as if no one could tell and assumed it was all done by your “Looper”, stupid.
