Lonnie was one of the earliest black recording stars and was the biggest in race records sales by the late 20's and into the 30's. I've been listening to him for almost 50 years - I never tire of his effortless and seamless guitar playing and vocals. Can anyone identify that cheapo guitar he is playing?

"I think Johnson was in fact the first to use single-string licks in blues/jazz guitar; he did so while Lang was exclusively a rhythm player." If you mean on records, definitely not true (Eddie did before Lonnie). If you mean off records, not likely to be true (Eddie was probably before Lonnie, for one).

Well, Johnson and Lang were pretty much contemporaneous, and even recorded together. I think Johnson was in fact the first to use single-string licks in blues/jazz guitar; he did so while Lang was exclusively a rhythm player.I could be wrong, of course, but it's a minor quibble; Johnson and Lang were the two greatest jazz guitarists of their time, and advanced the art considerably.
