For me, the immediate attraction to LW was his "stage presence."  The 
thing that makes me come back over and over again is the nuances.  He's 
one of those players you can learn a lot from without memorizing a 
single lick that he played.

In blues, jazz, rock, r&b...it's the rhythm section that makes or breaks 
the sound.  No soloist can sound any better than the rhythm section 
allows.
