Listen to Frank Zappa play a solo, he had a rule that you should never repeat a riff or hold a single note longer than three beats. His mind was always moving his fingers to a different variation riff after riff. ie: "Willie the Pimp".
Oh, Yeah... Back on topic, JOHNNY WINTER! !
Terry Kath with Chicago was another one.[/QUOTE] Terry Kath was one of the best guitarists ever! Listen to the "Live at the Carnagie Hall" release & you'll hear some of the best guitar work ever! His death was a tragic loss.

John Abercrombie, in his early years with a band called Stark Reality.

As a longtime guitarist, there's only one thing that really floats my boat with the ones I listen to, and it's that sound that sends a shiver up your spine and gives you goosebumps when you hear it. I don't care what kind of crazy makeup or outfits they have on, and while lightning fast playing speed is somewhat impressive, it just ain't that big of a deal. Clapton's a perfect example of an old school guitarist who has the speed but doesn't *need* it to impress you. Terry Kath with Chicago was another one.

Jacob's Ladder by Rush", is that the same song as "Jacob's Ladder by Huey Lewis and the News"? Not even close.
