I love the way people like BB King and T-bone Walker play. Acoustic blues was mostly rhythm guitar. Of course there was slide guitar playing and people like Robert Johnson who played a little rhythm and lead. But T-bone took the single string lead guitar approach of jazz greats like Charlie Christian and made something new out of it, electric blues, or "jump blues". Im impressed by his ability to do something new with it, and inspire people like BB and Albert King, and Chuck Berry.
