- 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.
Phil Keaggy is a brilliant guitar player for sure!!!!!

I think Tom Scholz is my pick. A great guitarist, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer!! He was the founder of the group Boston.
