Genuinely fascinating! Thanks for that. +Underrated guitarist? Glen Campbell, the numebr of people I speak to don't know him as anything but a country singerLonnie Mack wrote and recorded a song called 'Wham!', I think it was released in 1963. Here he used the Bigsby on his Flying V extensively.
As a result of this, other guitarists wanted to have 'one of them whammy bars' to emulate that style of playing.
Although not immediately obvious, as the style of music is quite different, this is also where George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley got their band name.
