    Seeing this different here in Sydney. Instead of a record button, it’s a keyboard button to activate the keyboard to play the notes. No recording unfortuently!

    Not just a great guitarist

    He was also at the pointy end of technology development, pioneering things such as multitrack recording and effects ‘processing’. Had he been born later i’m sure he would have been hacking the Linux kernel as well.
