To be honest, I'd never heard of the guy. Looked at that posted Youtube video with SRV, and was BLOWN AWAY! That's a very interesting way he plays the guitar, I'm extremely impressed by that alone. Just looks WAAAY harder to learn that way.

Second, he'd been blind since Age 1. Learning guitar with that disability is indeed a GREAT accomplishment in itself. It's one thing to be blind, and play differently. But to TRULY ROCK like this guy does, is awe-inspiring! Definitely will be checking out some of his albums.

Truly is a shame, that I hadnt been introduced to him while he was alive. :(
