Who is your favorite guitarist?

Who is your favorite guitarist?

Mine is the great, Tommy Emmanuel. I consider him to be the best ever. Followed by about a dozen other fellas!! Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Buckethead, Eric Clapton, and Dime-bag Darrell, just to name a few. Still, Tommy gets my vote as the all around greatest. Here is a clip of him doing a tune called, "The Hunt", Followed by his version of the classic Mason Williams piece, "Classical Gas".

Hi All,
I saw this gentleman (Leo Kottke) perform this song, sometime in the 70's. The guy still tours, and has always kinda tickled me. He never seems like he takes himself too seriously....funny sense of humor.This is only two minutes long, but is jam packed with goodness.......heh.
Hope a few of you enjoy it.
