RIP. Not only did he have an excellent ear and help pioneer some excellent instruments, he was an exceptional player in his own right.
Les played live every week at Fat Tuesday's in New York for years,( Ithink he finally stopped in 2001) there was a waiting list to get in to see his show, and you never knew who would show up to jam with him.
The list of great Guiatarists that would show up to Jam with him would fill a book! BB King, Clapton, Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, Steve Cropper, Joe Perry, Billy Gibbons, Man would I have loved to have seen and heard all that music live!
