Title: Wizz Jones, RIP
Post by: StringPicker6 on April 29, 2025, 10:40:57 AM

Found out this morning that one of my guitar heroes, Wizz Jones, died today. A true bohemian English folk musician who should have been famous but avoided fame. Direct influence to Eric Clapton and Kieth Richards when they were growing up... lots of videos on YouTube of him.

You have very good taste.
The backward thumb strum move surprised me.
Is Wizz why you like Epiphones?
Thanks.
Mike

Yup. He played that same Epiphone Texan from the 60's right to the end.
