Jeff passed away a few months ago at the age of 41 due to cancer.He left behind a wife and two kids. He was a superb player with a totally unique style.He will be missed. WB.

There's a huge difference in electric/accoustic, steel/nylon,
flatpick/fingerstyle... please don't overlook Earl Klugh.

A lot of my faves already mentioned ... yet I still get bumps when I hear Mason Williams "Classical Gas".

Victor Wooten rhapsodizes on [i]Amazing Grace.[/i]Not precisely a guitar solo, but more impressive to the likes of me. Involves some dynamic retuning. But the king of retuning a bass is Michael Manring, seen here with a Zon Hyperbass. Each of its four strings has a lever at each end that can be used to tune between two almost-arbitrary pitches. That's four pitches per string, for a total of 256 distinct tunings available almost instantly. I know I'll never get to Manring's level on the bass, so I've been thinking about getting myself one of these things. Pretty expensive, though.

Neither does any 80's guitarist that has fretboard diarrhea. "Shred-metal... just never did a thing for me, because a lot of it to me just sounded like porky pig reciting the Gettysburg Address." Vinny Roth Vintage Guitar Magazine July '08 p26 Not that I agree, but a heck of a funny quote.
