boy, i don't really wanna get into this too deep cos i
don't know shit bout most of these guitarists & don't
really care too much, but from what i've heard of
satriani, malmsteen, vai, etc, i'd put vaughan above
em...he plays with some inner conviction & is
show-offy but in an entertaining way, unlike the
diddley-humping assholes like eddie van halen,
satriani, etc are noted for...
plus he played actual blues-based songs, not classical
crap or pseudo metal-jazz...
i'd never own one of the dude's albums & i rarely ever
listen to his stuff & i agree he tended to play for
white audience expectations, but he could really
play...
& damn, there're some shit-lousy jl hooker records out
there...i saw him in 87 & he had a white barblues-band
backing him & it was AWFUL.
