Ask him for Danny Kolb, and his fingers would fly so fast that they'd be a blur on the fretboard. Jeff Beck? He could play anything from "Truth", not for note, with or without the record. Request Eric Clapton, and you'd have "Spoonful", complete even to the hint of a Jack Bruce bass line underneath. Jimmy Page? Alvin Lee? Jerry Garcia? He had them all down, one by one. I asked him once upon a time to do Hendrix for me. He smiled a little bit, set up his fuzz-tone, hooked up an echo unit, threw a few switches here and there, and gave it a try. He couldn't do it. And neither, for that matter, could have anyone else. Whatever his secrets, Jimi Hendrix took them with him."
