Re: Livelooping with a band..amazing!
hmmm... it was original the first time he did it... but now he's done
it too many times... too many copycats... agreed... but, the fact
stands that he invented a ton of techniques on the guitar that a lot
of people learned from. Maybe he's finished innovating but that's no
reason to put him in a museum. He's still alive for god's sakes...
aren't museums for dead things?
