The guy can play. I had never really listened to him before. There's a tune on his solo album where he goes through a bunch of different styles that's just very impressive.
After listening to him the other night, I went downstairs to practice some and was struck by how rudimentary my stuff was compared to what I had just been listening to.
However, he is inspirational in that listening to him makes me want to explore new approaches to the instrument.
Glad you enjoyed it!
