   I'm learning 'I Am Lonely, I am Lost' by Bert Jansch which is a beautiful song. I'm having to learn new chord shapes and a new fingerpicking style for this. Quite a shock to the system after all these years.

   There's a live version on Spotify.

   I am still in awe of Brian May's plankspanking skills, he was my guitar hero as a teenager and still is today.

   The Singing Nun was my all time fav. Otherwise, Tony Peluso for his ending of Goodbye to Love.

   In French slang, "Dominique nique nique" translates to "Dominique fuck fuck" - do you think that's what the minging nun intended?

   And guitar heroes:
   Marcel Dadi (now that's fingerpicking)
   and Steve Jones (that isn't)

    Good point Plucky...and also the daddy of them all Bert Weedon (though I guess he was more of an innovator really)

    There are guitar players and axe-heroes...totally different animals.

    George Harrison, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mark Stuart and Chet Atkins

    But for other stringed instruments check out Sam Bush, John McEuan and Chris Thile - all incredible on the mandolin

    It's still unreleased.

    Mr Andhrimnir, I've just noticed you mentioned Antonio Forcione. The aforesaid strummer did a brilliant album with Eduardo Niebla.It was called Celebration. Difficult to get on CD.

    I'm afraid I can't see past Jimmy Page, the guitar on "Kashmir" still raises the hair on the neck.
    Also think The Edge does a fine line in rousing guitar.

    I still find Mr Clapton's music very pleasant, thank you.

    Just had a quick look thro' the CD's and it looks like Steve Cropper appears on more tracks than just about anyone else.

    I'm afraid I went off Eric when I discovered he was somewhere right of that nice Mr Hilter in his political leanings.

    I was careful to say that I found Mr Clapton's music very pleasant. I appreciate that his political views are revolting.
