Who's your guitar daddy now?

I don't get it - Dekay ?....was that an attempt at humour ? I still enjoy Mark Knopfler's style....JJ Cale is still one of the best at being laid back....odd that you mentioned Jeff Beck - dwhitt - as I have his new live disc at Ronnie Scott's playing now - that man is on a whole different level...I wish John Mayer would just let it rip as I think he really could - especially the blues. Throw in some Nils Lofgren that would be a nice afternoon of music for me at least

Richard Thompson still does it for me.

John Williams is the best technical guitarist (classical) I have seen. I saw Leo Kottke a few weeks later and he looked like an oaf in comparison.

I really liked Robin Trower live but Richard Thompson, Mark Knofler and Pete Townsend are darn good as well. It is hard to pick a favorite

I think SRV, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck are good but overrated for my taste

Buck Dharma is my favorite underdog - tasty licks he has

Justin Hayward.

this is suppose to be entertaining isn't it.....we all seem to know in our own way, that no one is the best....it is always at that moment when you hear someone that it is enough to make you go...music is still alive.....i failed to mention ....bill frisell,,who?
