I would agree with that statement Mooh.

There are many supremely gifted and talented guitar players around, and I have been fortunate enough to see most of them play, but Tony McManus is the only one to whom I would give the accolade of "genius".

I think Clarence White (whom I never saw play) may have been a genius, and Roy Buchanan (whom I did see) certainly was a genius, but I can't think of any more.

Bracing myself for a long list of genius guitarists ...
