    On a side note. I'm off to see Greg Allman tonight.

    you can say that about a lot of the guys on that list... Albert King was the king of bends and Elmore James was the king of slide. Eddie didn't start "tapping" or hammer-ons, he started two-hand tapping. People were doing the former for a long time.

    Actually, it might be surprising to note that Chet Atkins was tapping long before
    the word was devised to describe it. He just didn't do it a lot. I guess he never
    thought of it as anything special.

    A little story about Stevie Ray Vaughan, as told by Eric Clapton: Eric was driving
    along one day, and this guitar player came over the radio. Eric pulled over and
    just listened. Then he thought he had to find out who that was, and he had to
    find out now. As it turned out, it was SRV.

    Eric said that every guitar player gets to a point where his score kind of dries up,
    and he thinks, where do I go from here? I guess it takes a professional player to
    detect that in another player because Eric said he never detected that with SRV,
    that SRV just had that knack of knowing where he's going at all times. That's
    really saying something because Eric confessed that it had happened even to
    himself.

    Speaking of Eric Clapton, the day Jimi Hendrix died, Eric was on this way to
    see Jimi. He had brought with him a guitar that he was going to give to Jimi
    as a gift.

    I think its kinda funny they have Albert King and SRV at 12 and 13 and state that SRV was influenced by Jimi? SRV was influenced by King, that's who he looked up to.
    Yes, Albert King actually took SRV under his wing and mentored him.

    Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood

    This is a fun one. While playing the guitar behind his back, SRV broke a
    guitar string. His brother Jimmie picked up the slack while SRV changed
    guitars. Stevie then put the guitar back behind his back and picked up
    the song in progress. Nothing short of impressive.

    Jefferson Starship - "White Rabbit"

    Not Grace Slick's best performance on this song, IMO, but the guitar solo is the reason I have posted it.

    This has become my favorite Buckethead solo of the gazillion that he's done. Just incredible...
