T.Bone Walker

One of the great inventors of the electric guitar , T. Bone Walker drew inspiration from blues ( Blind Lemon Jefferson , Lonnie Johnson , Leroy Carr & Scrapper Blackwell ) and jazz ( Charlie Christian ) to develop an absolutely unique game that will revolutionize all popular music. From blues to rock , from BB King , Gatemouth Brown , Albert Collins , Buddy Guy , to Eric Clapton , Jeff Beck , Johnny Winter , Stevie Ray Vaughan , including Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix , all will borrow his phrases from T-Bone and typical riffs. Everyone will seek to rediscover the sonority, the clarity, the elasticity of his playing, as well as his intense swing, his rhythmic construction, the resonance of his notes and the way of making them "sing", without forgetting the melodic ideas which, under his fingers, seem to flow like an uninterrupted waterfall.

It was T. Bone Walker who, above all others, made the electric guitar the most popular instrument in the world for over 50 years!
