How are we defining talent here? Is it how many instruments one plays? How well one plays them? There are other factors that I'd consider such as:
- how well the music is composed
- songwriting (lyrics and music)

We could also include other unconventional items:
- performance
- productivity

I'd probably have to say Phil Keaggy. His guitar playing is unmatched. Lyrics are beautiful and he's got a really cool voice. He is an incredible performer (doing everything live, using only his guitar...plus he's a really cool guy). And he's released over 50 albums and contributed to many more....with no end in sight. Also, he only has 9 and a half fingers.... just saying.
