There are so many that deserve much more credit. Many have already been named and rightfully so.

 

A blues guy that was ahead of his time imo was Albert King. He was a monster during his time.

 

+1 on Brad Whitford. Joe Perry got most of the ink, but Brad is excellant.

 

Another guy that is incredible is Ernie Isley. I just saw him on the Experience Hendrix tour and he was incredible.

 

A couple contemporary guys I like a lot are Mark Tremonti and John Petrucci.

 

Alvin Lee and his ES-335.

 

Neal Schon. He was a young prodigy and played in Santana's band at an early age. Eric Clapton also wanted him to be a part of Dereck & the Dominos, but that didn't work out obviously.

 

There are many, many more.

Lenny Breau

 

FINALLY we agree on something. "Boy Wonder" is f-ing redi-Q-lus. The first time I listened to that album, I stopped playing guitar for a few days cuz it was so good that I knew I would never be able to play like him.

I got to play this Buddy Guy strat while I was in new yourk. Had some lace's in them, I wasnt crazy bout the sound, it was good but not up to par (tonally) with my LP. Played great though.

 

I agree with yeh FM.
