Simply amazing. I love "Kindhearted Woman Blues." He influenced so many people. Can you imagine how much more he could've accomplished if he hadn't died at the young age of 27?
Found this online and thought it was interesting: In Clapton: The Autobiography, Eric talks about Robert Johnson's fingerpicking style that had him "simultaneously playing a disjointed bass line on the low strings, rhythm on the middle strings, and lead on the treble strings while singing at the same time." Johnson's sound was very hard to re-create, and it often sounded like more than one guitarist was playing.
