It's true, nobody before or after Jimmy has played guitar like him. When he played it was never scripted (chorus here, solo there), it just flowed seamlessly.

The fact that he never took lessons and played lefthanded on a righthanded guitar only adds to his legacy.

So, while he wasn't 'technically' better than guitar wizards like Van Halen for speed and accuracy, he made better music and played better guitar. Playing guitar is so much more than running scales fast. It's as if Jimmy was part of his guitar.
INDEED
