I dunno how he picks with the pick angled like that. I've tried it a few times and I hate how the pick catches the strings on the upstroke.

he's also a wonderful singer, songwriter, and guitarist... every bit as good as his dad, and probably better in many aspects...
(he also has the most beautiful manly forehead i've ever seen)

Found this excellent site that has an absolute ton of guitar books and magazines. They have a lot of the old guitar techniques magazines back when martin taylor, guthrie govan and eric roche did regular colums which are currently unavailable. They come with the audio too.

You have to go......I've seen him several times, acoustic & electric, even once opening for Buddy Guy and he never fails to produce a great show.

A general question that doesnt mean much at all, but who would the experts here rate as the most technically skilled or accomplished guitarist of all time? mainly someone who has completely mastered the instrument and delved into as many styles as possible, and done it most efficiently as well. From all that is usually posted and the comments over the years, seems the person to take that would be Phil keaggy, seeing as he is equally accomplished on the acoustic as well as electric, and seems to be very good in the versatility department as well.....Danny Gatton's another name Ive seen get mentioned a lot.....

lenny breau, hands down. the race is for second place... i think it's probably between gatton, keaggy, and akkerman... then possibly guys like ej and howe, as far as household names go... then there are the equally brilliant but lesser known names like john jorgenson, rick graham, brent mason, et al.
