Before I played guitar it was Fleetwood Mac the Doors and Donovan.
My father was friends with Clapton and gave me the best of cream LP then it was Hendrix Band of Gypsys
My best guitar teacher had me study the Kings Albert BB Freddie and Earl.
Jimmy Page of course
From the list? Honestly none of them. All are or were brilliant but most of them are largely feel players with unique styles that couldnt really be taught.
I’ve been in a Kiko Loureiro (ex-Megadeth) rabbit hole for months. He’s obviously got metal chops but he’s well versed in Brazilian music, jazz, and many other styles. He explains theory in a way even a dumb-ass like me can understand. This interview is a good example of his range.
