John Martyn

Yes I always sneak him into some thread or other but he was a massively overlooked guitarist and maybe that is because his guitar playing was never the focal point of who he was as an artist.

If you can play Folk, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, Experimental and Funk without even trying then you are a damn good guitar player in my eyes.
