Hell of a guitar player


He and Jack Cassidy (both of whom formed their own splinter group, Hot Tuna, because their label did not like the name Hot Shit) were the musical heart of The Jefferson Airplane. He’s a very under appreciated musician. I came here to give him some respect. The great guitarists sound like NO ONE ELSE. You hear Hendrix, Clapton, Paige and you KNOW who it is. Same thing with Yorma.

Yes, he's a phenomenal guitarist. I actually got to attend his Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp back in 2002...changed my guitar playing (and my life) forever. He's still out there performing at almost 82 years old!
