Michael Bloomfied

Michael Bloomfield was one of the greatest blues musicians of all time. He was noted mostly for his work with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and The Electric Flag. Rolling Stone Magazine labeled him as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He is a member of the Blues Hall of Fame. Bloomfield's sound featured a loud, clean, almost chiming sound with a healthy amount of reverb and vibrato. This would strongly influence Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead.
