How come this guy isn't talked about more often among guitarists. he's not a superfast shredder but his solos is something special. 3:36 into this clip is some of the most beautiful soloing iv'e ev
er heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huRvdtTh2bA
Yeah, he's f'n great!
But he only ever had one 'hit' ... it was the theme from a movie and it wasn't guitar focused, the Exorcist.
He's more known over here in more 'Folk Music' terms. As to why he's not mentioned more? I have no idea, he's an amazingly talented multi-instrumentalist!!

I know my dad has a few records by him, I think. Will have to check once I visit them next time.
I still think Tubular Bells would work great as a Death Metal/Melodic Death Metal tune
Discovery is my favourite album, To France and Poison Arrow are great:)
