Thanks Occult for the nod.
This guy is simply one of, if not THE, most influencial electric guitarists since Hendrix. And that's just touching on rock. He's a legend in pretty much all other electric genres too. Eddie Van Halen idolized him so much that he demanded that Warner Brothers give him a record deal.
The number of tributes from his peers pouring out in the last few days says it all.

I really don't want to sound condescending, but this is going to fly over a lot heads here.
