Yes i remember him from back in the 70s,he was considered one of the best,he difinately could play.ill be honest saying that i didnt listen to him much,but it was obvious that he was good.I dont know why he didnt go as far as he could have.He never got the credit that he deserved,Ill never know why.
I hear Van Halen is getting back together in 20012,spose to have an album in Feb,seen a you tube vid on them,all ill say is time changes everyone.This might be interesting,no doubt they are good,but it wont quite be the same,might be better in some way due to the fact that i never see a good guitarist in the younger generations,dont see what i call good actors anymore on tv.By the way (Orgnizdlbr)I did see the Allmand Brothers at the fillmore east on youtube,1970,good ole days.And even saw a rare vid of a Jimi hendrix solo,he had to be on something,oppps didnt they say that 40 years ago too.
theres a guy by the name of spanky alford he played gospel and so r&b has a good sound, he died i found out about him after he pass i listen to him he makes want to lern how to play, then there is the guys from the AWB (average white band)like there sound and style ,and slash formaly from guns and roses he was bad ass..... a couple to add to the list
I'm glad you introduced Spanky Alford JWIL. That sound is awesome. I can't find many ytube vids on just him playing, but this one was really nice; The Lord's Prayer. I'd love to hear the Soulful Christmas one. I keep reading about it, but I can't find it.
Thanks JWIL. I've been listening to it for a while.

My votes go to Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page

I think I've mentioned Clapton before. But, I had forgotten all about Santana!
