There are many hot 6 stringers out there but how many have a style and sound that you can identify from listening to just a couple of bars of an unfamiliar tune. Not many by my reckoning. For me the most easily recognisable are

Carlos Santana
Satch
John Scofield
Jimi H
Django Rheinhardt
Leo Kottke
Brian May
Dave Gilmour

who else do you reckon?
