Most teaching requests are for the "older" guitarists, not many 21st century guitar heros. But yes, that stuff's pretty straight forward, certainly Duane & Jimi - because it's been done, so it's part of the technique repertoire. Ground breaking when it came out of course. I don't know much about Bert.
It's one thing to break down someone elses technique and licks, learn and replicate, than it is to come up with it in the 1st place. Especially those original heroes, they had very little to copy, and what there was, was very inaccessible.
Lockdown is a good opportunity to pick the instrument up, anyone can do it - I've even taught an almost deaf person!
