Ottmar Liebert is pretty amazing, so is Craig Chaquico, both are super clean and precise.

Jonny Lang is really amazing

I still enjoy listening to Earl Scruggs.

Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs, both capable of tearing it up.

Duane Allman. Best slide ever plus he smoked Clapton when they played together in Derek and the Dominos.

I'm a huge Metallica fan (from old days) but I actually agree with you. I'd say James Hetfield is a better guitar player.

he is the most prolific down picker of all time, he simply can not be touched by any man. not to mention he wrote/helped write a lot of the leads in their music.

You guys are nice but i love the sound of a 12 string.
