Well, "unknown" is all relative, Bernard. The definition of "unknown" for the purposes of this thread is, "Have I heard of them ?" (I being me, that is)

I have in fact heard of most of the guitarists mentioned, some of the names are completely new , but I can promise that within a matter of weeks I will have heard the music of everybody mentioned on this thread, (at least thiose with recorded output ) and I am looking forward enormously to doing so.
