[The Sultan]

A dude who was incredibly influential, and could play just about any style, but will never get his full due because he was just never massively popular. "A guitarist's guitarist" indeed.

[Jockey]

Loved his early work both solo and with Yardbirds. Didn't care for the Jazz Fusion that he evolved to.


A truly unique playing style, though. Quit using a pick and just used his thumb to play notes so he was able to use his fingers to adjust volume knob and use vibrato bar at the same time.

[Spotcheck Billy]

As little as he toured pre-1990 I feel very fortunate to have seen him perform live several times. Perhaps my favorite was at the national HOG rally in 2003 with Terry Bozzio on drums.

[Boone]

His version of Beatles' classic A Day in the Life was so cool. Inspired me to learn it.   My version...not so cool

[NCMUFan]

Enjoyed all his music.
One of my favorites.
Raw, but that is what makes it great.
