One day he had Mick Jagger listen along with them and Jagger asked who was accompanying Johnson in a guitar duet. The reality was that Johnson was playing alone and that he was so magical (and diabolical) in his guitar playing that he was able to sound like two different players.

There's a good biography done of Robert Johnson......I disremember the name, but it'll come to me soon. I read it about 10 years ago....... anyway, it said the first time he ever recorded, he was placed in a room with just a chair, a table and a bulky microphone along with the necessary equipment. The chair was facing out into the room. Johnson took that chair and turned it so's it faced a wall close to a corner. At the time it was thought that Johnson was just shy, but in actuality, he was using the wall to give him a multi-dimential sound.

If I remember the name of the book, I'll let ya know. It was real insightful.
