Eddie Jones (December 10, 1926 – February 7, 1959),[1] known as Guitar Slim, was an American guitarist in the 1940s and 1950s, best known for the million-selling song "The Things That I Used to Do", for Specialty Records.[1] It is listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.[2] Slim had a major impact on rock and roll and experimented with distorted tones on the electric guitar a full decade before Jimi Hendrix.[3]
