Only song I remember is "Yellow Snow".
That’s his humor

He intimidated the fuck out of me when I started listening to stuff besides the Beatles, but I was always curious and somewhat aware.

As a guitar player he was an artist who NEVER played the same solo twice, but would improvise based upon an unimaginable amount of variables and custom tailored the solo to the environment.

When you finally become aware of what he — AND EACH AND EVERY MUSICIAN THAT PLAYED WITH HIM — were able to accomplish one time, without a safety net, It’s staggering.

I don’t have Big Musical Ears so I need to listen repeatedly to get it; it’s like listening to 3 Beethoven Symphonies at once and trying to pick out what everyone is playing— and I still hear thing I’ve never heard in all the prior playbacks
