The reason I wanted to pick up a guitar is because of Carlos Santana.
He will forever remain, in my mind, one of the greatest guitarists ever. But after finally trying to learn guitar I have been exposed to so many great guitarists. And I probably would never had heard of them had I not finally try and learn. And I have largely been exposed to them because of conversaations like this.
Buddy Guy
T Bone Walker
Joe Bonamassa
Derek Trucks
Jeff Beck
All 3 Kings
Gary Moore
Peter Green
Debbie Davies
Hubert Sumlin
And, yes, David Gilmour
