Richard Thompson

About

There's a saying that goes, "If you remember the 60s, you weren't there." While this might ring true for a few individuals, it's highly implausible for most. One reason for this statement's fallacy is that the pioneering English guitar player Richard Thompson got his start in the 1960s and it's impossible for individuals who went to his shows to not get his innovative playing out of their brains. Playing a characteristic style of blues rock that's influenced by the 1960s psychedelic scene, Thompson is a highly talented guitar player and to witness his playing is to see a virtuoso at work.
