Whipping Post from "Live" is one of the best live tracks ever. Duane was probably the best slide player ever. Dickey Betts is no slouch, either. Sadly, I'm boycotting the ABB because of the firing of DB.

Check out "Duane's Tune" from The Dickey Betts Band Pattern Disruptive. Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes in an instrumental.

Bad by U2, the live version. I can't hear that enough.:-)

Just as Jimi did from the old Blues masters, as did many others, like Clapton and Page. And the old Blues masters "stole" from countless others who we'll never know. They just say they were "influenced" by them.

And SRV might laugh at that, but as music is subjective, to my ears, I like his version better.

True as it is that all artists are influenced by past masters, you are WRONG if you think Jimi stole from anybody. NOBODY hit those licks before he did, which is why he's still considered the best guitarist there was, four decades after his death.

Also true, you are entitled to like Stevie's cover better . . . and I'm sure the fact that you're from Texas has nothing to do with that. :-)

Panama by Van Halen. According to ITunes I've listened to it 481 times already.

Come on...after jamming with BB King, Muddy Waters, Curtis Mayfield, Albert King, Steve Cropper and other blues and R&B LEGENDS, you don't think he took a thing or two? Especially from Cropper and jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery? I'm sure he just made all of them better, and rejected everything they did.

I know it's just anecdotal, but Guitar Shorty swears his licks are in "Purple Haze".
