I would probably argue that SRV is better, watched a vid of him playing Texas Flood live and i could
swear there was smoke coming off the guitar by the end of the song.
John Butler from The John Butler Trio is a guy i have watched recently that is highly underrated, great
picker. Grows out his finger nails. Ocean is a great song by him, check it out.
Some of my influences are Travis Meeks from Days of the New, Whitener from Days of the New and
Tantric, Todd Park Mohr from Big Head Todd, James Hetfield, Aaron Lewis and of course Clapton.
I am more of an accoustic guitarist so...
that is why i don't list as many speed guitarists, but i love guys like Randy Rhoads, EVH, Zakk Wylde,
Steve Vai (Bad Horsie), Bonamassa, Robert Cray, the dude from Triumph forget his name etc.
Could go on for a long time in this thread...
Not a common mention is John Fruciante....great guitarstist.
