I feel like it takes a really talented guitarist to be able to weave between rhythm and lead so well with just a bass accompaniment. Jerry’s shows he’s great at single note soloing and that’s what he’s known for but here we get to see the full extent of his playing, he has a knack for involved rhythm playing and he’s able to solo in a way that feels purposeful and doesn’t sacrifice the harmonic structure of the song, when he’s doing single note shit his soloing clearly outlines which chord he’s playing

[@richardlewiswolf]

Good thing you missed this one, because if you had caught this show you likely would have missed all the others (unless the parole board took pity on you).
