It sounds amazing I love his style and EJ style !

lol people here must not listen to a lot of eric johnson. im a huge EJ fan. joe really doesnt sound much like him at all. to the average listener he might because joe uses similar sequences in fast runs, but there is a LOT more to eric johnson than that. joe has far more blues in his playing than EJ does. joe's tone is also not really like his either. maybe EJ's earlier tones when he sounded more like clapton. i can hear a lot of differneces between them. just be glad hes not another SRV clone

In this video, his sound and style is very reminiscent of Eric Johnson. But, a lot of other videos of Joe I've seen, not mention seeing him live...his style and tone is more like that of David Grissom. I wouldn't be surprised if Joe listed Grissom as one of his major influences. He's a good guitar player. I wouldn't say that he copies anyone, but you can hear his influences in his playing.

There's no question Joe is heavily influenced by Eric Johnson. He's said so in interviews. But to say it's the SAME thing is ridiculous. I hear Peter Green, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Eric Clapton, and a lot of other blues rock players in Joe's playing. Just like you can hear Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Clapton, etc... in EJ's playing. To Joe's credit, he's not only a WONDERFUL guitar player, he's also a great singer and songwriter. That he's 34 and has published a dozen albums is amazing.

[Gfonzarelli3rd]

This is the only footage i've ever seen of Joe playin that Strat! What a guitar it's awesome, where did it go?

[JBJHJM]

@Gfonzarelli3rd Joe completely changed his style. He was a lot better some years ago. Now all he plays is smooth and planned and 'popular'. Check out the 'Live at the Rockpalast' DVD if you wanna know what fuckin great stuff Joe played in that days. (you can find some songs of that show on YT)

BLUESDVDNL.......No....... it's "what are you talking about".And your second question should be....."Do I know what I'm talking about".The answer is "Yes I do".All I can say sunshine is if you can't hear it (Joes, Eric Johnson sound) you should clean out your ears.X

[BLUESDVDNL]

Do you know where you talking about??? This DVD is from 2005?!?!?!?!?

[themanfromutopia1]

He is a cuckoo....I love his own guitar sound from a few yrs back but he sounds like Eric Johnson now.Same bends, intervals,and delays.

[babyblues3270]
