Good player, very overlooked. Too bad "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" tarnished him - and it's not that bad of a song. By the way, Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship fame sang on that tune, not the Journey guy.

As lurid lloyd said do not judge Elvin by "Fool Around and Fell in Love"
This man cut his teeth in Paul Buttersfield Blues Band trading licks with Mike Bloomfield.
Just check out Paul Butterfield Blues Band album "East West" and you will understand!

I've heard Elvin Bishop rip on Guitar. He is great on a John Lee Hooker album. Please don't judge him by "I Fooled Around And Fell In Love". One of those Journey guys singing yuch!
