Beck / RE: (TV) Richard Lloyd interview re. Hendrix

["Leo Casey" <LeoCasey@comcast.net>]

 A good source once said that Loyd's three main influences were Buddy Guy, Jimmy Page, and Jeff
Beck , 
with Beck having  the greatest impact (especially on Richard's vibrato).

As much as Richard loves Hendrix I don't think Hendrix was as much of an influence as the three
guitarists above.
