Who's your guitar daddy now?

I forgot to mention Phill Keaggy

and

Lincoln Brewster(recently named one of the top 100 player's by Rolling Stone)who are both killer Christian guitarists.

I met Mayer at the local airport and didn't even know it was him.

Phil Keaggy's guitar works are amazing to be sure. One of his latest works, "Two of Us", is a treasure. I've seen him rock with the best. His more classical works offer rarified performance.

Different than my other favorite, Jeff Beck, to be sure. But takes no back seat to any other fine guitar musicians, although that does not appear to be Phil's goal.

There's a video on you tube of Pacific Gas @ Electric performing "Get Ready" that has an amazing lead guitar solo.

Sorry, the song is, "Are you Ready"

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Leslie West. I saw a Laser Disc of a performance 19 years ago. He was standing against an all white backdrop playing some regular stuff.

The solo at the end of the song, was one of the greatest I've ever heard. Melodic, melodic, melodic.
