Nobby Reed has always been about playing the guitar. Like so many others of his generation, he was introduced to the instrument during his early years in a magical time when some of the world's greatest electric guitarists were making their presence known. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and Duane Allman, just to name a few, all had one thing in common; they were playing the blues. They were emulating their heroes and playing tunes by Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, BB King, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf.
