From his playing, everyone one else follows. There is no better Bluesman on guitar.

This was recorded after Okeh finally relented & allowed him to play his instrumentals. (He had recorded a few more daring tracks, for a couple of other Record Co.s, under pseudonyms) they had failed to release some of his more innovative instrumentals, insisting he stick with 12 bar blues. But he was much more than that. As you can hear. He us the father, the bed rock, the root of all lead guitar.
