Who's your guitar daddy now?

in order first hendrix,jeff beck, jimmy page, eric clapton,albert king,kim simmons,peter green,mick taylor.tommy bolin,

Without question, Richard Thompson...

The Master of the Telecaster, Danny Gatton. He was called The Humbler for good reason. There are few recordings and what you find will likely be pricey, but well worth it. And there has to be mention of Robert Johnson, who, out of nowhere pushed the art of the steel strings to places it had never been. He was a big Bing Crosby fan.

Christophe Godin...many are great, but none are better or more entertaining than France's best guitarist. One fellow quipped to me once, "isn't France only about the size of Texas!!" This is true, but the best guitarist from Texas, arguably, once was Billy Gibbons of ZZTop, then very likely it was Stevie Ray Vaughn, now it's probably Andy Timmons. I'd go see any of them play, and so it is with Christophe Godin and his band, Morglbl. They are stunning!

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.
