Reinhardt is an orphic figure of mythical allure because of the incredible things he could do with a guitar.
With fewer than the usual number of fingers, let’s not forget—an attribute he shared with Jerry Garcia and Tony Iommi(1). (The link’s a dud, but can there be any question which Reinhardt she’s talking about?)
(1) Iommi’s disability—he plays with prosthetic fingertips—requires him to downtune his guitar, and thus the sludgy metal chord was born!
