T-Bone Walker (born Aaron Thibeaux Walker in Texas in 1910) is the founding father of the electric blues guitar, almost single-handedly defining a style that influenced every generation to follow. This is where B.B. King learned everything he knew -- as he will be the first to tell you. T-Bone was an electrifying performer, whose splits and behind-the-back solos set the stage for his musical descendants Guitar Slim and Jimi Hendrix.
