Johnny "Guitar" Watson

Blues
Early R&B
Soul music/R&B
One of the most highly regarded R&B guitarists of the 1960s, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson went on to define funk's swaggering groove and embrace the disco craze of the 1970s. A naturally flamboyant showman, Watson was inspired by the likes of T-Bone Walker and Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown and started out by performing in juke joints in Los Angeles and on the West Coast in the 1950s. He was renowned in his early days for the sound of his "space guitar", created by using distorted feedback and heavy reverb, but went on to score the R&B hits Those Lonely, Lonely Nights, Cuttin' In and Mercy...
