Just some of my favorites....whatever.
Classical Spanish, maybe Andres Segovia.
Jazz, West Montgomery..George Benson and many others.
Rock, Jimmi Hendrix ...Ry Cooder
In a whole class by himself...Django Reinhardt (woody Allen like him in Sweet and Low)
Les Paul ...another guy in a class by himself. Think he's still doing limited gigs.
Dozens of unnamed recording studio players...never seem to get the break that a few others well known guitarist have over the years. Great talents, shitty luck or no luck at all.
