It may not seem like it, because the music is so polished, but he was one of the most accomplished guitarists of the last 50 years. He commanded perfection from himself and his band.

Start with the biggest hits. Listen to the instrumentation. Ignore the lyrics if they're not your jam but listen to the vocals. Listen to his various bass players and how they lock in with the drummers. Dig the tonality and nearly impeccable execution of note choice.

I was lucky enough to see him in Seattle just before he died. My girlfriend at the time snuck me into the show. It was unreal.
