Belated R.I.P James Calvin Wilsey

Guitarist for Chris Issac; Wilsey's work on Wicked Game has always captivated me.
I am learning this song now and it lead me to this.

Before I was a guitar player (trying anyway) I always really loved this song (and music video).
Wilsey's haunting playing and Issac's crooner singing just really struck me.
His pop hit came and went but I really love this song.

The tremolo on the 6G2 brownface Princeton I just built is killer.

A subtle detail I have learned while learning this song is really understanding the difference between finger vibrato where the initial note is (usually) then sharped vs trem bar vibrato where the note is flatted.
I understood it "on paper" before but now I sonically own it.
Advancement in my musical learning is of high value to me.
