Who's your guitar daddy now?

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.

Masayoshi Takanaka(plays like Santana and has played onstage together, but cleaner with more feeling).

Steve Morse(Will be in Roseville on the 18th and my friend has a few tickets for sale as he can't attend).

Neil Schon.

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.
