I'll jump in on this... "The Master of the Universe," as Garcia called him, was the reason I fell in love with the B3! He's also a great guy and really easy to talk to.. I've met him like 3 times.
Care to share any of his riffs, drawbar settings, or any quick tips you use in your JGB band?
Also, with all due respect, I think there are many, much better solos that do Melvin more justice with regard to how incredibly freakin intense and soulful he is. He makes the B, C (and even Nords) scream and sing simultaneously
