I agree that There are too many fantastic guitar players out there to call..... My favorite of all time is Phil Keaggy, someone who hasn’t been mentioned on this thread yet. He’s been playing for almost 50 years and is still experimenting and learning and releasing new stuff.
I take that back, Phil Keaggy was mentioned back in #70. I like to say that I have attended a live Andre Zegovia concert and live Phil Keaggy concerts. I’m satisfied.
