Who is Alvin Lee?

First I thought I would answer : "One of the few guitarists who has made Jimi Hendrix jealous"(see below).
Then I realized that you probably don´t know who Jimi Hendrix is either.
So I will just inform you that Alvin Lee was a guitarist who played just as fast as Joesatsch(triani), but with 3 times the heart, feel and passion

Alvin would have turned 70 today. Congrats

Because of Alvin Lee and BB King, my first "real" electric guitar was a 335. Saw Alvin Lee in concert around 73-74. Nothing short of amazing.
You're awesome Alvinfan.

Hey what a great story. Hope I will have the same kind of luck with some guitars of my idols in the future. Enjoy any day with them
