Jimmy Page, Robert Johnson, Monte Montgomery is pretty damn good.

Somebody told me John Mayer was better than Hendrix, lol.

Nuno Battencourt (sp?) is pretty darn good, Justin King (Have you heard of him? :lol: ) is pretty rad, pretty much all of the aforementioned people are good too. I personally really like Trace Bundy, he plays some Justin King-esque stuff. He has some videos on his webpage that i think you should check out.

both me . . . and my mom . . . Tim Reynolds, the best. Now, like usual when I say stuff like this, the backlash about he only gets noticed because he can play fast, and that because he plays with dmb.


I will always say Tim, and I will never change, neither will my mom (who has seen the likes of SRV, Clapton, Harrison, Atkins, Jeff Beck, Jimi Page, and many more) . . . so there :)
