THAT'S what I wanted to hear. Dude was a friggin thunderhose on the guitar.

who is he?

 

[umbra]

he had a short but fruitful life. Changed the way people play the guitar. More than that, he redefined what a guitar is. Then when the guitar wasn't enough there was the harp guitar. His compositions were fully arranged solo guitar works that gave more depth and dynamics to an instrument than I ever knew was possible.

Where can we find his music online?

i'm sure he's on youtube or something like that. You will see when he got cancer, he lost all his hair. Let's see one of my favs....ragamuffin.....rickover's dream....breakfast in the field

the whole oracle album is a great intro to him and what he does, and it's also his best single album.
