“It always amuses me to see the various lists of ‘the greatest guitarists’ etc. and have people like him not even mentioned.”

Charlie Byrd is another great and versatile guitarist who doesn’t get the accolades he deserves. Byrd was fundamentally a jazz oriented player but he ventured into other genres and was instrumental (pun intended) in introducing bossa nova to this country.
I would put Wes above them all.
Clean, crisp, and expressive. Just wonderful.
