  In a preemptive "I quit" at a job when I was younger, I pinched a fresh loaf in the middle of the bathroom floor.

  I didn't need them for a reference anyway.

  If we compare "understanding a guitar" to magic;
  Slowhand is David Copperfield.
  but Hendrix... ,  oh..
  - he was Aleister Crowley.

  TPing a high school teacher's house, and having the guy that droves us 5 miles out into the country, getting caught up in a tree, and having to walk home in the middle of the night, and every time a car would come by, jumping over the fence into the field, thinking it was the cops, lol.

  Pat Metheny

  Steve Vai

  Paul Gilbert

  SRV

  Steve Morse

  Jeff Beck

  Al Di Meola

  John McLaughlin

  Joe Satriani

  Paco De Lucia

  Jimi (Last name not required)

   

  This would be a very long list.....

   

  EC, great songwriter, not a great guitarist in pretty much every sense.

  I like his music don't get me wrong, but he's certainly not in the same class as any of the above as far as playing ability and mastery of the instrument.

  I will not derail the thread, but all guitarists listed have different styles. You can't say one is better than another. EC is very fluid and more of a blues guitarist and plays with feeling rather than just being technical.

  But would make a darn good discussion in a new thread!!
