Use No Reverb or anything! Just plug straight into a Marshall Stack and Crank it all the way to ten. Then play the Blues as Fast as you can with a thumb Pick. Do it with Taste and DON'T MISS A NOTE! All this while Singing like a combination of Howlin' Wolf and Greg Allman.

Now you're approaching Johnny Winter.

Johnny is one of my all time heros! I must have seen Johnny at least a dozen times! Just saw him last March. His main guitar these days is an "Erlewine Lazer". And he plays out of an old Music Man amp. [liImagest] After a while they bring out his old Firebird to play slide on. Then he starts rippin' into "Highway 61" :D Image Johnny's still pickin' his $@! off! :D His vocals are a bit rough. And yes, he has to be helped off stage :cry: , but he's "Still Alive And Well" :D

I always like Johnny I have seen him twice live and his Brother The Edger Winter Band as well. Edger can play the Boards.

I saw him about 8 yrs ago as a four piece and they rocked mightily!!
Great show -- good singin' + hard playin' = righteous musicality! Edgar is phenomenal!
I don't know who the drummer was, but he was a funk machine!!

Is there anything on the grapevine about his eyesight failing. I was watching him very closely during his Crossroad's appearance an it struck me that he may be legally blind. His medical history certainly points to that possibility.
