Becca ,Hank was extensively interviewed in the Joy of the Guitar riff programme, but the problem I have is that his compositions are not riff based at all His playing is brilliant and distinctive, and inspired a lot of guitarists including our own Peter Green His compositions are wonderful and original, but the BBC should be doing a one hour doc about him or about the Shadows, not trying to shoe horn him into a confused prog about Riffs(which itself wasn't long enough ! )
