The great guitar heroes of my youth were Bert Jansch and Gordon Giltrap.
Gordon is still with us thank goodness.

"Little Silver Hands". I remember seeing him many years ago. You're right, Mikey. Anyone who played guitar back then, wanted to be like that :o)

..... and Roy Buchanan. I know he died many years ago. I can remember buying his album "Loading Zone" and playing it to death.
