SRV from the first time I heard him seemed over the top in terms of
notes per second given that he was playing blues. Like somebody on
meth. Then I heard a tune where he murdered some normal non-blues
changes with a pentatonic thing that just made me wonder if he had ears
on the side of his head. Or the if the producers did for that matter. I
mean skin crawling material. I actually saw him live once because he
was playing with Jeff Beck - he had plexiglass between him and a wall
of amps. Nice rock tone I must say :-)

Not knocking your opinion btw, just stating mine wrt SRV... take small
doses ;-) I'd probably put some old Jeff Beck records in there for
rock blues instead.

As far as the rest of em I haven't heard Doug or Nikka but I get your
drift as far as soul. Maybe I should break down and get an Ipod.
