Yes sir...

One of the great things about Skynyrd with Steve Gaines in the band, was the different guitar sounds, all intertwining and adding to the whole... Steve's sound was clean, out of phase Strat, with a funky/bluesy feel, in contrast to the heavy Gibson sounds of Gary Rossington's Les Paul and Allen Collins' Explorer... All great stuff... I think Steve contributed to the Blues Boogie potential of the band, and gave it a kickstart on songs like "Call me the breeze", "I know a little", and "T for Texas"... I just love the Skynyrd band and all the recordings from that era...
