I know he's supposed to be great, but the only exposure I have to his guitar playing is on the Nick Drake song "Thoughts of Mary Jane." He's terrible! He keeps playing in the wrong fret so that he's way out of tune with Nick's acoustic and singing. And the little fills he does are rather poor. I can only hope that (1) he was very young, and (2) he was very stoned. I imagine he got better.
