Why? Partly because he was one heck of an artist and partly because of the secrets that...
...bewildering stylistic arsenal. His soloing on the greasy, rolling “Chicken Dog” called upon jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery’s pioneering style as he conjured segments of thick parallel octaves. These soon gave way to electronic pedal antics from tone bending to evocations of Jimi Hendrix’s wa-wa guitar bending on his legendary “Voodoo Child...
