The first two were well known to me, but Eric Johnson was new . Listening to Cliffs of Dover as I write this, and this is what I'm talking about; great speed and technical skills , but the guy rocks out as well. A little soul to the machine; NICE!

re: the death metal mentioned last page...karl sanders (of nile) mixes a lot of old egyptian modes into what he's doing, some of it's actually quite pretty...but those bits ARE buried in less stomach-able (for non-fans, anyway) ugliness, heh.

always been more interested in flavor and style than technical prowess myself...if I was to mention one player that I've been loving recently (and is remotely likely to have been heard of here), I'd have to say david rawlings. his work with gillian welch is phenomenal.

well, him, leadbelly, and mississippi fred mcdowell.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Ry Cooder. He's not only really great, but has grown and learned throughout his career, experimenting with all different styles of music from different countries.

Buena Vista Social Club still gets regular rotation in this household... lovely stuff, but we're more talking technicians and Ry isn't that...

You know who doesn't get credit but is really nasty is Prince. That purple leprechaun can play a blue streak...check out the intro on [url=https://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5792204981326161348]When Doves Cry[/url] or the ending solo in [url=https://www.imeem.com/groups/yJPt_x2Q/video/3Zgn31rz/prince-and-the-revolution-purple-rain-music-video/]Purple Rain[/url]. Monster!

Lots of good ones. I noticed you posted earlier that you liked Django Rhinehart, too. I love his sound--if you like him, I bet you'd like 'Hot Club of Detroit'. They're great and of course their name is an homage to Rhinehart's 'Hot Club of Paris'.
