Players like SRV, David Gilmour, BB King come to mind.

Identity. We are all unique, like everyone else. That's the maddening part. Haha. I wonder about the method. Yes, I mentioned all three in the original post! Love them ALL!!

May I ask you, then what's most important or what do you think contributes besides the gear, hands, and techniques? How? I understand this is similar to asking how do you become yourself, but my aim was to see from many points of view, both for what's possible and impossible. We define life with what things are and AREN'T. Or at least, get a better view. Would love to hear more Maggior
