Don't want to sound like too much of a heathen here but I think he should have stuck to making guitars not playing them

Without whom there would have been no 'All Right Now', 'Sweet Child Of Mine', 'Kashmir', 'Black Magic Woman'...... let's face it, half of the music out there!
Okay so they might have played another guitar - but the sounds would have been different or not happened anything like they did.
