[Marion Morrison]

Skynyrd is one of the best bands ever..Billy Powell? Wow! If you listen close you can hear him in this.

This thread goes out to Angelo, THE expert on guitarists on this site. Some of my favorites include Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Richard Thompson - guitarist/singer/songwriter extraordinaire from the UK, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Robert Fripp, Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Sonny Landreth - THE best blues and rock slide guitarist I've heard. These are some of my favorites, who are some of yours?

Hey, Duke, Gary Clark Jr. IS quite good. I own his latest CD, and he SHREDS on some of the songs. And his vocals are quite good, as well.
