Anyone else listen to him? if you dont know who he is you better find out quick and get the first tickets to see him in your home town because im telling you people you need to see him now, before he dies because he could end up like stevie ray and hendrix where the only thing people can say now is "DAMN IT!!!! i KNEW I SOULD HAVE SEEN HIM WHEN HE WAS STILL ALIVE!!!!"

I think he is the greatest slide guitarist alive today.
Maybe 2nd or 3rd best guitarist ever behind Clapton, Allman, and Hendrix..

take a look at ekoostik hookah's lead guitarist. His name is STEVE SWENEY and he melts my face. I've seen Derek jammin with Warren alot and he is amazing but he doesnt have quite the as much personality as Sweney does

I just seen him 2 nights in a row!!! and i actually stood out side for 40min in the back of the line to talk to him. I told him that i just wanted to say that one of these days i was going to be good enough and big enough to sit down and play something with him and with hesitating he shook his head and said "lets do it!" I mean, how much can you really love music so much to actually say something like that? i cried after that BTW, really, and so did every1 i told that knows me and my playing.
