Monte Montgomery is the greatest of the latest I've seen. An amazing songwriter & guitarist from Austin, TX that's equal parts rock, pop, country, and folk. Very dynamic voice, clever, expressive lyrics, and guitar picking that combines the best licks from Knopfler, Buckingham, Eric Johnson, SRV, Hendrix, and a few others. All on a beat-up Alvarez-Yari Cedar Top single cutaway dreadnaught. He even uses it for his distorted electric lead tones.
