Eric is the easiest guy to duplicate out there. I can figure out any of his stuff in about 5 mins! When I saw Jimi & Albert, Jimi was playing Albert's Flying V... he went out and got one after! The weird thing is- I never liked Jimi until I saw him live... I was blown away (the acid probably didn't hurt lol)

Eric played on the White Album.. I think that puts him in another class. I can figure out what all these guys are doing - its the curse of being a musician. Eric is a fantastic blues musician and one of the better acoustic blues artists (I like). The solo in the MTV unplugged version of "old love" is killer.
Have you ever checked out his band Powerhouse from the early 60's? I really like them! I started playing blues in 1954 (God that seems like there should have been ice covering the world or something). We used to have a blues club in the late 50's when we were in our early teens. Peter Wolf from J. Geils Band was in it. We had a couple of bands together. There was a huge blues crowd in Boston. Duke and the Drivers came out of it... James Montgomery Band (he had a guitarist named Peter Malick that I taught who moved to LA and made a fortune in studios) and others. Boston became a big blues scene in the 60's
I didnt know Boston had a big blues scene in the 60's! Its the music that drove me to learn the Guitar in the 80s.. I remember rewinding audio cassettes and playing them again to figure stuff out.. It wasnt until Youtube became popular that I began seeing what these guys look like and eating up all the live performances. The internet may have killed the music industry - but it has provided me with a lot of joy!
It killed MTV... I remember music and white people on MTV lol (but I'm old)
Video killed the radio star.. Youtube killed professional music.. Im reading more and more about people who would rather keep their Youtube channel going than "sell out" and get a record deal. Sounds a lot like Steemit..
