Alvin Lee's lightning-fast performance of 'I'm Going Home' at Woodstock made him the first guitarist hailed as the fastest in the world, and his playing mixed rock and roll, jazz and blues at breakneck speed. With Ten Years After and on his solo records, he always played his cherry-red Gibson ES-335 with fierce energy and a showman's swagger.
