"Jerry's Guitar is rivaled by few"

Zacs, not that this makes me any more of an expert, music is all about taste. I've played guitar professinally for over 20 years. By that, I mean I have played all over the US with many known musicians. I made a living teaching and playing. I played rock, blues reggae and funk for @ 10yrs and got heavily into jazz after that. I played in a pro jazz quartet for 6 years until about 3 moths ago.
I lived in San Francisco for 6 years, met and played with tons of bay area folks. I can honesltly say that I am not impressed with Jerry's guitar playing. To me, its boring, lacks excitiement and innovation. I have read books about him, seen shows, he likes a oot of the right folks, I just don't hear it in his playing. Its drab to me. Just my opinion.
