one of the greats for sure!

I felt the same way after hearing him play Little Wing.

lil wing may be the best song ever written

Hard to argue that, especially with the lyrics but after listening to him for so long, I like his guitar a little better in Castles Made of Sand. Similar way of playing but that song is peak psychedelia, imo.

he was just a genius.

Yes, and he was an amazing acoustic player as this clip illustrates: https://youtu.be/2t3aLq3l4oM

awesome

amen

What freaked me out is reading that he started in his 1st band in 1965.
