===Instrument=== {{See also|Robert Johnson's guitars}} Johnson mastered the guitar, being considered today one of the all-time greats on the instrument. His approach was complex and musically advanced. When [[Keith Richards]] was first introduced to Johnson's music by his bandmate [[Brian Jones]], he asked, "Who is the other guy playing with him?", not realizing it was Johnson playing one guitar. "I was hearing two guitars, and it took a long time to actually realise he was doing it all by himself",<ref name="Buncombe">{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/the-grandfather-of-rocknroll-the-devils-instrument-409317.html|last=Buncombe| first=Andrew|date=July 26, 2006|title=The Grandfather of Rock'n'Roll: The Devil's Instrument|website=[[The Independent|Independent.co.uk]]|access-date=April 15, 2021}}</ref> said Richards, who later stated that "Robert Johnson was like an orchestra all by himself".<ref name="Myers"/> "As for his guitar technique, it's politely reedy but ambitiously eclectic—moving effortlessly from hen-picking and bottleneck slides to a full deck of chucka-chucka rhythm figures".<ref name="Myers"/>
