John Dawson Winter III (February 23, 1944 – July 16, 2014), known as Johnny Winter, was an American blues guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer.
Writing in Rolling Stone magazine, after Winter's death, David Marchese said "Winter was one of the first blues rock guitar virtuosos, releasing a string of popular and fiery albums in the late Sixties and early Seventies, becoming an arena-level concert draw in the process ... [he] made an iconic life for himself by playing the blues.
Notably one of the BEST guitar players EVER!
R.I.P Johnny, your music will live on forever!!

Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley did not have any formal training in playing the guitar, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. His unorthodox style of playing the instrument earned him many fans. Frehley claims that he was influenced by musical legends such as Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin.
