If you havent heard of him or heard his music your missing out on the inovator of guitarists and probably one of the best. No long opinion/summary by me can describe it more then these 2 videos:









And as you can see in the 2nd video... He has 2 working fretting fingers...

I think he invented modern lead guitar, and took it from a rhythym instrument in big bands, and turned it into a lead.

Thanks for posting.

Yumpin' Yiminies!
Don't want to sound uneducated but did he "choose" to use only two fingers?

Emb: I thought that was quite a lot! Changing the entire timbre of an instrument.
