As my original RB clip in this thread has been blocked, I have a good excuse for putting up another one :-
Another great blues guitarist who hasn`t been mentioned much in this thread is Rory Gallagher. So it`s lucky for us that PoorOldPo and Trollheart are doing him justice by giving him a thread of his own :-

Really? Sure, Santana does some shredding where every note doesn't count (especially on his new album), but I think songs like "Europa" and "samba pa ti" are really great examples of making every note count. I can't think of many better
