I dunno but it seems only the "learned" jazz and blues fans out there appreciate this guy....He does not get the same accolade of an Eric Clapton or a Jeff Beck and other mainstream guitarists out there...

Believe it or not, Ford is just as celebrated as Eric and Jeff. The only thing that separates 'em is the fact that both Clapton and Beck have already gone mainstream, while, Robben has not.

yeah maybe that's the reason...but really this guy knows music and compared to Clapton's work, Ford's guitar technique requires more deeper understanding from the listener cause you won't get it the first time...
