Very true.....another example is Greeny's playing with Santana at the R&RHOF induction. Admittedly, as far as "flash", his style at that time could not compete with Carlos Santana's playing. But if you watch the video, it's clear that Santana is urging Green take a bit more of the spotlight for himself, yet aside from the very beginning of that performance, Green seemed very happy to stay in the background.
