Known as the "Father of Electric Blues Guitar," T-Bone Walker has influenced virtually every blues, jazz, and rock guitarist, from B.B. King, Kenny Burrell, and Chuck Berry to Jimi Hendrix. His tasty, economical, and expressive lead lines have come to define the essence of cool blues guitar soloing, and the power of his dramatic and soulful phrasing is undiminished by the passage of time.
