There are soooooo many people out there that move me and inspire me to keep at it that the list is dizzying.
I do like the 'ole standards
SRV
Clapton
Hendrix
yadda yadda
(fill in your guitar great here)
but I will say that there are so many people that I've been turned onto just from reading the posts (good things do come from here!)
The latest on my finds is a guy in Oregon called Justin King. He's got this acoustic, slap, tap, funk thing going on that is just insane....
back to the point of the post... my all time favorite, hands down, there is no substitue (porsche!) is SRV. My brother took me as a suprise to see him on New Years eve of 89 - 90 in NYC and I've been hooked ever since.
