Jumping in with five favorite guitarists:
1. Michael Hedges
2. Carlos Montoya
3. Steve Howe (Yes)
4. Chet Atkins
5. Roy Clark TIE
5. Melchor de Marchena
Sorry all, but Joni wouldn't even make my top ten. Nor would Clapton or
Santana, not when the world is filled with major classical and flamenco
virtuosos on the instrument.
She is very innovative with guitar tunings, and she comes up with some nice
alternative sounds, but she's not my favorite. In fact, I can hardly listen
to Tiger Bones without the lyrics -- it sounds bland to me.
However, Joni would be number one on the list of my favorite singers, number
one for favorite musicians of all time, and number two for composers (after
Ludwig).
Regards from the depths of busy insanity,
