Dudes, not one of you mentioned John Mclaughlin. He is the super being of guitar poweress. He's basically John Coltrane on guitar. He's able to pave his own way, never look back, and he can sit down with almost any other living virtuouso and school them.

When you die and you're at the gates of heaven. John;s going to be there judging whether you've been a good guitarist or a bad guitarist ;)

You have to check him out for sure. From his work with Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, to the present.

Here's some video's. Check out "The Translators" Aspan, "Duets" Chiquito with Paco especially, "Mahavishnu Orchestra", and "Various" My Foolish Heart especially. He plays in many different situations/genres, seemlessly.


Here you go :)
