Thanks for the Henry Vestine info Tim.
Henry Vestine is not widely acknowleged as a "great" guitarist, but I have always respected the fact that he had his own sound. Henry was one of those guitarists that you only needed to hear a few notes before you knew it was him! Also Henry had his own sound before Jimi Hendrix became dominant. And while Henry certainly felt the competition from Jimi he stuck to his own concept of electricity - - "buzz awhile Henry!"
My favorite Henry Vestine recorded moment: just before his solo in Amphetamine Annie where Bob "The Bear" Hite and the band shout "SPEED KILLS!" and then as an aside Hite asks "Ain't that right Henry?" to which Vestine reluctantly admits "well, maybe so" :>
