Everyone stole from this man.

Stole what, specifically?

I inquire, as I have had many of my belongings stolen from me, and I'm not a famous blues musician, rather a homeless blues guitar player.

His style of playing is what everyone stole. Nowadays its just standard blues soloing. Same thing with BB. We're all just copying them two one way or another. I know I do. I love those Albert King bends.
