T-Bone Walker

This is a link to the web site I made for T-Bone as he didn't have his own site. Contains biography, links, licks, a solo with audio and discography. Hope you like it. T-Bone was an amazing performer and very influential early electric guitarist - but is often overlooked, he was a close friend of Charlie Christian - and he was a major influence on Chuck Berry (read as: Chuck nicked all his licks and moves!!) -- there is a lot to learn from this guy :)
