Smith: Clapton was great. I re-read my comment, and it did seem like I was saying that everything was fantastic until... clapton. Nah, all of those era of guitarists were fantastic -- they were figuring out things in real time!
I do have favourite guitarists, but two I'd recommend for you, since you like to discover things... Paco Pena, the man who introduced flamenco into the wider western world. And... Roy Clark, a 'country' musician who'll blow your socks off. Someone asked Eddie Van Halen: "what's it like being the best guitarist in the world..." His response: "I dunno, you'll have to ask Roy Clark"!
Oh Roy Clark is great! I’d watch Hee Haw growing up at my great aunt and uncle’s place. I still watch it if I can find reruns. Never heard of Paco Pena. Will check him out. Thanks! I’m sure you’ve heard of him but you may like Josh White or Cisco Houston. Dock Boggs is another good one
