“Rambling through youtube ... guess what I stumbled upon?”
Dino Perelli??
I have heard all (and know personally many) of the greatest of the greats; Clapton, SRV, George Benson, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, EVH, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, the list is too long and eclectic to mention.
Jerry Garcia... the broadest scope of styles, the deepest appreciation of "the perfect note(s)" as opposed to "how many notes", simply greatest that ever lived, or ever will.
IMHO
