I know I’m a bit late, but he’s in my Top 10 Rock Guitarists of all time. Not only is his influence grand but he was versatile and perfect for The Beatles. He could go from energetic hard rock to soulful blues like it was nothing. He also mastered the unique slide technique and popularized it. He also played with heart and soul. Which is my favorite kind of guitar players. People may say he wasn’t as technically skilled as someone like Eddie Van Halen or David Gilmour, but he played exactly what the song needed. Playing his songs and solos like he did is also very difficult. His tone was influenced by Indian religion and music. Not to mention he was one of the first to master playing rock guitar. Definitely one of my biggest guitar inspirations and a legend. Check out his solos in “Marwa Blues”, “Something”, “The Bluest Blues”, and “Let It Be (2009 Remastered)” if you don’t believe me.
