I never was able to really get into Joe Pass---but that could change as I read people's comments about him, then listen to his music again.

Tal Farlow to me was the most amazing......the 'touch' he had on that instrument was phenomenal.

Also really like Lenny Breau, Tony Rice, Gabor Szabo, Ted Irwin, Django Reinhardt, Laurindo Almeida, and---in terms of rock----I can't really think of anybody. Maybe that guy from The Smashing Pumkins?
