Tony Peluso, his guitar solo on 'Goodbye to love' is magical and a very nice man too.

Eric Clapton

Something in your throat Mark? I do agree with Hendrix but then am a child of a certain age.

I saw a guy on sunday called Thomas Fletcher,a bit on the loud side for me, but there was no doubting the guys quality.Has his own music shop and plays in a Motorhead tribute band. Plays anything from The Shadows upwards.

No Naz, in a pub on the Yorks/Lancs border. The landlord met him when he was busking for a laugh in Huddersfield,so every chance you saw him in Wakefield.

This guy is the best exponent of acoustical guitar(s) that I know personally:

Melia McEnery
Jonny Greenwood

[Sooper]

David Glimour for me and if we are also including Bass as well then it would be a toss up between Bernard Edwards (Chic) or James Jamerson (Funk Brothers).
Can we do drummers next?!!
