RHJAMES-

You are a fool! Are you one of those bedroom reissue-strat polishers beating off over SRV?

Keith is one of the greatest rock and rollers of all time. Technical proficiency!=flash, or dazzling runs up the fretboard.

He is a great songwriter and the real deal. Think about all the players he has inspired, from mr ronnie wood to johnny thunders (who was awesome even though HE couldnt really play) to izzy stradlin to mick jones to wayne kramer/fred sonic smith to ron asheton (another can't-play guy) etc.

Rock and roll is 90%+ attitude. It's done in filthy decrepit pits of clubs at 2 in the morning, by wasted dudes with les pauls slung to their knees via beer soaked JCM800s and fender twins. It is sloppy, messy, primal, sexual, raw. It is *not* to be carefully transcribed and printed in GUITAR PLAYER for suburbanites to rotely regurgitate through their PEAVEY copies of old tweed fenders and 'authentic' 52 reissue telecasters heehee.

The Sonics' 'Here are the Sonics' smokes anything buttnuts like john mayer will ever put down.

Tabs - ease up on ronnie wood. Listening to the Faces '5 guys walk into a bar' box set is a revelation. He's one cool mother****er.
