I was thinking about this the other day when I read your post Dave. I thought of a long list but didn't get to post. They included (some alive, some not so alive and in no order at all - a little like my brain this morning )Stevie Ray Vaughan. Ry Cooder. Rory Gallagher. John McLaughlin. Frank Zappa. Neil Young. Dave Gilmore. Muddy Waters. Bonnie Raitt. Yay a woman! etc etc.

Music has changed so much. It's not so much about the riff anymore. I do like a lot of various music these days but it's more background music to me.

I was reading about the most under rated guitarists and Daniel Johns was one of them - originally a teen from Silverchair. Great musician when he's well. Of course, I could listen to John Mayer play and sing all day too... delusions of grandeur and all.
