Mar 2016

In no particular order:

Joe Satriani
Eric Johnson
Akira Takahashi
Stochelo Rosenberg (in Paris!)
Richard Thompson
Prince (one of the most underrated guitarists on the planet)

I'm trying to set up a trip to Japan a bit later on in the Spring to see Mitsuru (of a band called Bridear). At about 22 years old, she's already one of the best metal players I've ever heard...and I'm thinking she's going to become a very, very special player.

A lot of the players on your list are certainly some of my faves...I've just never seen them live.
