Not enough of some of the pioneering electric Guitar virtuosos mention:
*Muddy Waters
*Chuck Berry
*Elmore James
and a little later:
*B.B. King
*Albert King
*Buddy Guy
*Jimi Hendrix
Some acoustic guitarists:
*Robert Johnson
*Lead Belly
and more contemporary and Canadian (though dead) Lenny Breau

Terry Kath. Wow there is a name from the past. Time to put on a couple old Chicago records. Here is good guitarist that never got much credit because he was in a pop band. Steve Lukather from Toto.

I'd go see them all in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, no one realizes that the Calgary area actaully has a million people and could easily fill up an arena for shows like that.

What...? No Pete Townsend yet? For sheer power, he's got to be one of them.

I have to give credit to Willie. I love to hear him pick his guitar. His playing is as distinctive as any rock n roller. He's been playing the same guitar for almost 30 years and has wore a hole right through the wood, calls the guitar "Trigger".

Wow 3 pages and not one person mentioned Frank Zappa, or Steve Vai or Steve Morse.
Shame, Shame, Shame.
At least I saw Chet Atkins name, or did I? I'll have to look again.
