Listen at 2:07 fucking sick.

Joe taught so many of the more famous guitarists... it's amazing he isn't more popular.

It's because his style isn't very accessible. I've always thought of him as one of the gods of technical playing. But a lot of people find that pretentious or too busy to enjoy, unfortunately

However, it's not surprising that a great musician is un-loved. You gotta take the popularity thing back to Mozart, who was universally hated for his entire life and buried in a mass grave. Then they realised "oh shit, he was a genius"

I think it's more because people prefer to sing along to a song, than just listen and appreciate

vast majority of people aren't particularly musical, or know about the technical side of things, it's all about a melody you can sing, or a beat you can dance to
