Ever been blown away by a player from a genre you don't normally like?

Yngwie...not my thing at all but his passion is undeniable

I’m not a Blur fan, but I like Graham Coxon’s playing. It’s primitive, but clever & always serves the song.

Apparently grahsm plays the same guitar as the one I've just custom ordered . You won't see him with it though as he's endorsed by fender lol

Read the title and Satch came to mind, a lot of tunes on flying in a blue dream I love

Alnico

Danny Gatton.
Blew me away with his style and expression.

Agreed re Danny Gatton

Schnozz

Brian Setzer

Too many players to list.  Josh Smith a good example of a recent discovery. I'd give my eye teeth to be able to play like that.  But would I listen to his albums?  No, not really my thing.

Cant stand widdly widdly sweep picking 'music' but have recently been checking out some of Jason Becker's tunes.

Holy cow they are good - really melodic

Guthrie is an obvious one. I still can't listen to his solo stuff but when he was playing with Steven Wilson, wow.

Gerrard Cousins got me listening to classical, when I had no prior interest.

Dimebag. A bit heavy for me but him and Vince got me listening to Pantera.

Jon Butler (only his solo instrumental stuff. Can't stand the band or his voice). Ocean. I'd never heard anything like it before.

Jon Gomm. Not normally into the looping/slappy tapping acoustic thing, but his version of Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’ is perfect.

Secondly, and he’ll hate me for saying this - @jamesoliver1234 of this very forum. I’m not generally a fan of country/rockabilly/r’n’b but by Christ that boy can play... Every time I see him with Glas or jam with him occasionally, he’s never less than jaw dropping.
