IMO his phrasing is really on a different level from any other rock guitarist. he has more understanding of dynamics, tone, phrasing, and feel in one finger than most "guitar gods" even dream of. listen to him play "europa" from any concert in the 70s and you will hear a completely different rendition every night. he is real deal. as long as he isnt playing Messof Poopie amps, he sound is always nails. and he is actually very humble on top of it all and always has something good to say, even when he is rambling on about aliens.

you guys floor me........
