As far as rock, 2pid recently brought up ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons
consistently gets some of the tastiest electric guitar tones.

Gibbons is also a fine blues player, thoug of course,
that's not what made him the big bux.

On the subject of Texan guitarists, I very much like
Eric Johnson, who keeps his enormous technique
under control and doesn't descend into shredding
(well, most of the time).

As you know, I'm not too up on electric players, but I love EJ,
especially, as you say, when he controls his huge chops. Good acoustic
player too; witness his arrangement of "April Come She Will".


30 seconds? Tell that to Steve Howe or Duane Allman.
They're also rock greats IMO.:-)

And Warren Haynes.
