      Boozoo Chavis the guitarist makes the rig sound good, not the other way around... Kinda like just because I have the same clubs as Tiger, I'm still not a PGA TOUR player. He could take your Squier strat, shitty line6 amp and melt both our faces off with it. He can be an acquired taste, a little easy to hate on, but no matter what anyone says about the dude he is a brilliant musician and one of the top 2 or 3 guitarists of his generation.

    This is blues. This is more blues than any song that he has ever written.

      JM didn't write this. This is a very well-known old-school American folk song covered by Woody Guthrie, Grateful Dead and many more before that!

    These reactions down in the comments tell me that most of you fellas don’t know who Jerry Garcia is. If you liked johns solo, the Grateful Dead is who you need to listen to
