Can we please have more "now playing" posting like this and less name checking of great guitar player posts. After all this is a playlist per the OP. It's more just fun to see what people are actually playing and see where the power of suggestion takes us.

After that I began paying closer attention to him and seeking out his recordings. This duet is a masterpiece:
