Nobody mentions the harp player extraordinaire in note here... Paul Butterfield. From the obvious Paul Butterfield Blues Band. RIP

@capitalismforme - and Albert did not originally like this fact and accused Stevie of stealing his licks (on one live recording I have and he aint messin'). B.B. King (allegedly) took Albert on one side and explained that what SRV was actually doing was telling everyone who would listen to him that Albert was the boss and they should all go buy his records and find out for themselves..... then he took him under his wing.

I've been into the blues since the days when frogs still had hair on their backs.
Stevie is definitely a student of Albert.

@capitalismforme I only play with my thumb. Sometimes I wish i could play with a pick for the speed and stinging tone. I have tried to play with a pick but I just can't play.

@iConquerYou Not that I've seen and for good reason....I don't think they can. The only one I can think of is Jeff Beck. However, Jeff hasn't put out anything relating to this style for many years. Although, I think he could. The tone the nail and finger produces, in my opinion, is supreme to the plectrum. However, there's always a trade off in everything you choose.

On this song I wish BB never played on.
Great video. Little known fact for the young folk. Albert was not only Stevie's inspiration, but also his teacher. If you listen closely, Their notation, note, style, and air, is identical...However Stevie was faster because he used a plectrum and Albert used his fingers.
