Eric Clapton is the most OVERRATED guy EVER to even pick up a guitar IMO!

Guess who Eric Clapton's favorite guitarist is though?

Yep... Eric Johnson!

There's a million good rock guitarists out there... and I like 'em all!

Guys like Angus Young and David Gilmour are great because event though they may not be technically that proficient... you can recognize their playing after just a few notes.

Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen were innovators... and took the art of rock guitar playing in completely new directions.

Darrel Abbot, Zakk Wylde, George Lynch etc... I consider to be excellent, distinctive players... but not quite up to the virtuoso level of an Yngwie Malmsteen or Steve Vai for example.

Then when you get into different genre's of music like country, jazz, fusion etc... there's a whole 'nother group of virtuoso players... most of whom you've probably never even heard of.

Like I said... I pretty much like it all... and I remember as a kid pretendin' to play along with Ace Frehley's solo on Kiss Alive II... thinkin' that was the [censored]!
