I've been a huge Eric Johnson fan for over ten years but I've also enjoyed Julian Bream, John Williams, and Andreas Segovia. Lately I've been listening to quite a bit of Mike Stern and Wes Montgomery.
I've read through a lot of the other comments in this thread and I like listening to the other guitarists that are mentioned as well. They all seem to have something profound to offer the instrument.
I understand that this is a subjective choice but I find Eric Johnson's music to be almost spiritual.
Is anyone else out there with me?
