This may be heresy for many here but there is a new star on the guitar firmament that just may eclipse them all. I've seen, and been entranced by nearly every guitarist talked about here but none have affected me more than Derek Trucks. He does what Lazur rightly describes SRV as having been able to do, play fast and slow with equal ease and conviction. If I were quibbling on the technical aspects of things I might say that Stevie was the better rhythm player (mebbe the best ever) and Derek is a more original stylist. Aw heck! How can you choose?
