Mike, thanks for the clip of Roy rogers. Not the cowboy with the stuffed horse, I see. And I'd agree he is good.

I'm not sure he'd make my list, though. Wayne, the other lead guitarist for Screamin' Gulch when I played lead for 'em, could do all the same stuff equally well with a bottleneck slide.

The last guy whose stuff I heard that really impressed me was Buck Owens' guitarist (whose name I just alzheimered)--caught some of his stuff on a podcast recently. Comfortably precise, I think is how I'd describe it. I would love to be able to play guitar like that.

Joe
