I think it has emotional depth, but not very interesting.

I do hope you're kidding on the "inspired, awesome, emotional depth" stuff. To be fair, I'm not sure if Depp is actually trying to play a proper solo here... it's just some basic af blues-101 licks and neck slides. It sounds more like he's playing along to a song that has those parts in them, or else he's just adding a lick to a bluesy track. Sounds like the kind of thing you'd get if a producer/artist told a session musician to "play a simple blues lick here" when you want to evoke the blues rather than actually play them.

I definitely don't agree. I think he's certainly embracing what he's playing and is a true expression of his soul, it's just not very compelling, and not a style of music I vibe with.

How poetic of a retort! I take it you didn't like it and find Depp overrated in all his art? I'd agree.Nature has strange residents.
Here's another guitarist embracing what she's playing, and its a true expression of her soul...

disagree.
With what? That she is embracing what she's playing? or that it is a true expression of her soul?

Don't worry Captain I got your back, these people don't know what they're talking about. He seems to be enjoying playing very much and is very into it. But maybe we make more of it because its someone famous? A talented actor no doubt, but from what I've heard he's on drugs a lot of the time. People worship actors like this and in reality they have sad lives, well him anyway.

I don't think she really has depth in her playing.
For me, it has nothing to so with his being famous. Captain said he was a "great guitarist" and his playing was "inspired". How does him enjoying himself translate into that?
That doesn't speak to her not embracing her playing or whether its an expression of her soul. How do you know she's not embracing what she's playing or that its not an expression of her soul?

He might be a great guitarist. Captain thought his playing was inspired and he's free to think that.
I think Jimi Hendrix was about as talented as an earthworm, you seem to think he was talented...ok, I'm not going to laugh at you for that opinion.

It's an opinion and an impression. I have a pretty objective sense of evaluation, I see if I can feel it, even if it doesn't express my inner soul.
