Sat down and drank coffee with Jimmy and Jim Sueler at Hard Rock Cafe Dallas.
Jimmy gave up picks a long time ago. Huge respect for sure. ( I ain’t held a pick in near 20 years).
Picks are for beginners. Lol
Junior Brown is awesome.

Well, I still use one ;-)
Trying to learn fingerpicking with the eventual goal of being able to do hybrid picking. D**n arthritis keeps getting in the way.
This is one of my favorite guitar pieces, and I never would have guessed in a thousand years that it came from Bob Mould of Husker Du...

I don’t have an innate appreciation of expertise in and of itself. I just like a good tune . . . lack of depth I guess. However, a good friend of mine who IS a serious guitarist maintains that Steve Vai is the best.
Steve Lukather - Talk To Ya Later (The Tubes)
Surfing With the Alien
Joe Satriani

Pick anything instrumental from Lindsey Buckingham off his album Countdown. 12 string wizardry.
He’s also the catalyst for the best Fleetwood Mac hard stuff (yeah there was)
The Chain
Go Your Own Way
Lots of anger in that crazy little man.

Love the solo on “Holiday Road”.
Some good Danny Gatton tunes are his covers of Sleepwalk and the Perry Mason theme.

Space Guitar--Young John Watson (aka Johnny "Guitar" Watson), 1954
Mason Williams—Classical Gas
his Greensleeves was excellent as well.
Lindsey Buckingham is crazy ridiculous. Love his style.
