Oh no! Damn
Mesmerizing to see live and a famous gearhead to boot. RIP Jeff

Wow I just heard this on the news, completely out of the blue he was one of the best. His one night gig at Ronnie Scotts club a few years ago was a masterclass

Saw him with Stevie Ray Vaughn just before Stevie died. Their version of Voodoo Chile was on par with Hendrix. RIP to all of these guitar legends.

Great loss

But gave us all a great deal of pleasure.

Thanks Jeff. RIP

Great musician - love their early works

Didn't realize he was still alive tbh

Gotta come back to this. Now listening to Blow By Blow. There are so many others also. but that's the genius.

Now, a thought. Most of the people who know those guitar heroes are probably in similar age groups to me (early 70s now). When we pass, will the memory of the heroes pass too? Do the millennials and Gen Zers have any concept of guitar?

All things must pass.

They're fine.

"Guitar sales have been steadily increasing since the 2009 recession, but they exploded in popularity in 2020 and the post covid times. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting global lockdown are largely responsible for this increase in demand.

As people continued to spend more time at home, many looked for ways to occupy their time and learn new skills. For some, this meant taking up a musical instrument. The guitar is a particularly popular choice, as it is relatively easy to learn and can be played without expensive gear or lessons.

This newfound interest in the guitar is reflected in sales figures. In the US, guitar sales reached $1.3 billion in 2020, an increase of 60% from 2019. This trend shot to 2023 and is expected to continue in 2024 and beyond, as people continue to search for ways to entertain themselves and express their creativity."

Elvis is remembered and most of the "at that time" teenagers are dead now.
