I have the DVD, it's great.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in getting good with a pick.

An absolute monster player is our Bobby. A right dazzler with a pick!

My thoughts exactly.

Amazing. I don't think of him as a "pick player", just a great player. What a talent!

+1.
Great style & tone, humble guy. As shown here:

This guy is one of the all time greats in my book. I can't believe how funky his lines are. Truly awesome.

Love what I've seen of him on youtube etc. - I already do a similar palm mute thing (usually picking with thumb and index/middle fingers, but starting to use the pick more), but this guy's on another level! Can anyone recommend me some classic records with Bobby on? Probably have a bunch without even realising it....

[M-N-Y]

I know he recorded some classic Sly and the Family Stone tracks when he was about 16. Have a listen to 'I get high on you' for a good example of the pick and muting technique you refer to.

Cheers,

Mark.

Didnt he have a junkie brother called Vincent, who was shot in the bathroom ?
