Damn, that guy was a genius. I thought he was way younger as well. RIP.

Blimey. Even the clean living are starting to drop

Terrible news. Could never get into and/or relate to his playing and I was only discussing that on here a few weeks back. Musical genius though, no doubt about that. Huge influence on my Dad's playing, he'll be gutted.

RIP Allan.

Your dad's evidently no slouch on the fretboard then :thumbup:
