not to mention the amount of feedback that he used.
no machine gun=no SY
IMO
the man was brilliant beyond what blues rock fans can see. his veiw of the guitar and its capabilities where way more advanced than anyone (almost) during his time.
he cuold solo, write hard rocking songs, incorporate feedback and dissonance...
he was definatly one of the best (but not my favorite (crossreferancing another thread
))
