Wow, a coupla you guys stole my lines - Danny Gatton and Al DiMeola are two of the best I've ever seen. Danny was (and will always be) the best in my book - I saw him many times at a local club (for $5.00!!!) and was able to get up close for a good look - simply unbelieveable!
I also have an autographed guitar from Al DiMeola that I won at a concert and had to strap to the sissybar of my motorcycle to get it home [smile].
Other guitarists that I admire greatly:
1) Sonny Landreth - best slide player currently.
2) Eric Johnson
3) Ronnie Montrose - get "Open Fire", his best album, IMHO.
4) Christoper Parkening - classical guitar.
5) Egberto Gismonte - incredibly talented, multi-genre.
6) Steve Kimock - just saw him last week - schweet!!
