lasttriptotulsa Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 My second all time favorite guitarist. Nobody could play like Alvin and I mean nobody. Listen to the album "Ssssh" and you'll know what I mean. One of my main inspirations to start playing guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unique sound out of his guitar. When you heard it you knew it was him. QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 04:11 PM) My second all time favorite guitarist.

No crazy scales, just crazy badass pentatonic and you did immediately know it was Alvin when you heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock on, Alvin! Yeah, Stonedhenge was a great album also. I've never been able to pick out a favorite TYA album. I just love Cricklewood Green, Ssssh, Stonedhenge and A Space in Time (even though it was a little more commercial). The only album of their's I never really got into too much was Watt.

Supporter of the arts (much more than that later of course) and one of the people you can say legitimately improved society and culture with his existence. We lost a great one.

Can't ask for much more than that. He'll be missed. I agree with you. I'm also affected by his death. I consider him a real Chicago icon. I'd get a sense of pride as dumb as that may sound, watching he and Siskel on Letterman or Ebert alone on shows since Siskel's death. I found Roger's article on death quite interesting. http://www.suntimes.com/19279965-761/roger...fear-death.html I do believe there is a heaven but I have zero proof and I can certainly see Roger's logic in the fact when we die we're in the same state of nothingness as before we were born. I'm glad his death is getting a lot of attention. I agree with you that even though I never knew the man, it SEEMED his heart appeared to be in the right place.
