Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check them out.
Great Guitarists

This thread has added a few more names to my list of guitar players to listen to.
Mathias Jabs, Rudy Schenker, Michael Schenker, Uli Roth, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, KK Downing, Glenn Tipton, Randy Rhoads, Vivian Campbell, Richie Blackmore, Trey Anastasio, to name a few.
Roy Buchanon- dude could jam. I like Jerry Garcia a lot too…I’m a hairless Deadhead hehee 
I always loved him. Truth is essential in any collection. Regarding slide guitarists, I loved the supreme smoothness of the late Jesse Edwin Davis with Taj Mahal on Giant Step.
Jesse Ed Davis blew my mind. Such a great album and his playing and tone were superb.
And, yes, I still think Blow By Blow is the greatest guitar album ever recorded, tied with Jimi's Electric Ladyland.
No argument from me on Blow by Blow. I think Electric Ladyland was far and away Hendrix' best work.
Bingo!
Roy Clark isnt the first name to come to mind but he was pretty good. Guitar and banjo aswell.
Almost always the list of 'Greats' referenced are either 60/70 yrs. Old or deceased. Shout out to young virtuoso guitarists. Three that come to mind are Tim Henson of Polyphia (he was great at ten years old, now at 29 he's to guitar playing what Jaco was to bass playing decades ago and since). Italian jazz guitarist in his early 20's Matteo Mancuso (Al Dimeola is a huge fan). And Contemporary guitarist Julian Lage (Methany could pass the torch to him). Cheers to them all as well as those slogging away at it whose names we don't know!
Glen Campbell is another that seems to have never been appreciated while he was alive. Probably because he had a few masterpieces in which he sang.
