If that is in reference to being killed while holding his gun not thinking it was loaded and yet one bullet was inside the chamber though he removed the clip and probably was drinking at the time, BUT lets look at the others Hendrix hmmm OD Prince OD seems to be alot of stupid guitar greats.

Yeah. To shoot yourself in the head, because you have no clue about guns and think they are toys takes the cake. More stupid than any drug overdose.

Ernie Isley!!! Yeah!!

Im more into the funky scratching and rhythmic picking, than the showy lead guitar solos...im inspired and moved by the rhythm masters...Prince, McKay, Isley and Rodgers, were equally great at lead and rhythm...Leblanc, Summers and Nolen were mostly rhythm kings

The most underrated mofo of all time?

FOLEY.

It’s hard for me to pick my favorite guitarist because I like so many.But Carlos Santana would probably be at the top of my list.

It's strange 2 me or maybe I'm tripping, but Carlos sounds the same on every solo 2 me.

I've seen him in concert many times and when he launches into a song like "Europa",it's almost like a spiritual experience.He's a true master of the guitar.

Im having trouble finding his solo lp "Smart Alec Music" but i did discover he played solos on Mint Condition's 2nd album (From The Mint Factory), on "So Fine" and "Gumbo"...and he also played on George Clinton's lp "Hey Man Smell My Finger", (recorded at Paisley Park)
