Sorry Terry!
I agree 100%. Terry and Red have different style, and both are great guitar players. But I like Red's fingerpicking. I think Terry may be better on the rockier songs, where he can turn on some distortion and really do some ad libbing... like Baby Step Back and Sundown. I'm just no good at playing that style, and a little better at playing Red's style. Sometimes I think he must have a couple extra fingers on each hand, though.
