I just stumbled across this site, and I think the original writer has an overall excellent understanding of these players.
It's great to see Duane Allman rated #2. His playing showed such a rare combination of passion, intensity, subtlety, and virtuosity, that is amazing to reflect on the fact that he was only 24 at the time of his death.
By comparison, some of these guys (I'll keeep the players names to myself) playing was, for me, simultaneously jaw-dropping, yet emotionally nowhere.
Where in hell is Leo Kottke and Metheny? What's with that? And Joni Mitchell, my god, what a fabulous musician, but I don't get it - a great guitarist?
Ah, this is a lot of fun. Scuse me, while I kiss the sky and go work on my lame chops!
