this guy was a hero of mine. I loved his style and his passion he had for the guitar.

he surely will be missed in the circuit! They just dont make people like this any more!

Absolutely awesome

These are also superb - Confidence Man and While My Guitar Gently Weeps

(though I still think that I prefer Clapton's original solo on 'While My Guitar...')

Mentioning SRV- I got the Live at El Mocambo DVD last week- stunning stuff. Simply stunning.

+1 you can see the passion in people when they play, thats what makes a difference between the crap that is put out now, thats skill and passion there and I wish I could do that!

RIP Jeff.

I saw him and his band a few times many years ago. Stunning gigs. Time to dig out the old CDs.

It's all in the upstroke

Off beat upstroke rakeing on strings muted with your fretting hand, whist playing a moving bass line on the down stroke. Easy right...

Pride and Joy is great fun to play though, espically in guitar shops when you just crank up the amps like you can't do at home...
