Didn't we play this game just a few months ago? OK, here we go again. Top flight
guitarists, in my opinion, are:

Andres Segovia, Carlos Montoya, John McLaughlin, Carlos Santana, Guy Van Duser,
Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, Mike Bloomfield,
Les Paul, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Brad Gillis [listen to him on the live
Ozzy Osbourne album, rather than his Night Ranger stuff], Steve Stevens, Freddy
King, Neil Geraldo, Mark Knopfler, Danny Carnahan. There are probably other that
I've forgotten for the moment.

However, *the* absolute *best* guitarist around today is Stevie Ray Vaughan. I
have heard this guy in concert twice this year. He sounded, in all seriousness,
like he was Jimi Hendrix come back from the dead. He even played "Third Stone
from the Sun" *better* than Hendrix did! The man is phe-NOM-enal. Even if you
play his albums twice a day for the rest of your life, you haven't really heard
him until you've gone to one of his concerts.
