I like the Top 20 idea - 10 was tough!
Now I need to add to my original list:
- John Abercrombie
- Wolfgang Muthspiel
- John Moulder
- Mike Moreno
and still probably more as I keep thinking about them!

But I must say the younger guys had/have chops beyond belief!
Now I just sometimes play jazz on my Selmer type guitar...Last edited by Ronstuff; 03-26-2021 at 05:46 PM.

I haven't seen any mention of one of my all time favorites... Joe Diorio.
I listen to him at least every other day.

Then, again, I have a BIG ONE list. Nobody has influenced my playing more than Charlie Christian. When I pick up a guitar I have to consciously think "don't play like CC," or else everything I play comes out like swing guitar.

OK Kris, I would have a party jamming with you - I like the way you put your whole body into the funk, but your English could be better. It's got nothing to do with "conducting people". I want you to understand that there is no ill will in my words. (edited)
