Are we limited to people who aren't super technical?

Definitely agree with Mateus Asato, and Ian Thornley that were already mentioned. I really enjoy Pete Thorns videos.

Super techincal:
Rick Graham

Jeff Buckley.

Amazing chords, alt tunings, unique patterns. The Live at Sin-e album shows him off at his reverby, jazzy best.

what makes you think woody's death was drug related? no cause of death has ever been released. Yes he was a total pot head but I've never heard of him being into harder drugs

I reckon Dean Ween should be up in the halls of fame with the other top legendary guitarists of all time.

Nowhere near the outer edge of the radar. Just like the way the whitest guy in the world plays Texas blues.

Gregg Allman in his autobiography My Cross To Bear states that what happened to Woody, because he talked about how it nearly happened to him.

Anyway, it was a huge loss, a fantastic player, and a good guy by all accounts.

Bob Balch from Fu Manchu would be one for me. That's my benchmark for tone. Also Bill Steer from Gentlemans Pistols - though he is technically technical...
