Why is there nobody mentioned in the last 35 years? Not arguing the specifics, but it seems like after 1977, no good guitarists. Everyone wants to add other old ones. I probably would too.

The best finger-style guitar player in the world. Tommy Emmanuel. On a accoustic no less

Perhaps that coincides with the rise of punk and even more so, grunge rock. AKA, the death of R&R and the rise of commercial garbage.......

I certainly have not bought any albums since then other than Dire Sraits and some CD reissues of older stuff, and solo things like Lindsy Buckingham.
