Satch dose not treat stu ham like shit.......He knows better, there are not any other bassist's that can do what stu dose Joe knows this........gives him a pretty lengthy solo every show and get's the crowd to shower him with love..........plus I'd imagine pays him very well to play bass lines that Satch writes himself.......I'm gonna drop a video just hit I agree That will either play it here or give you a link to youtube......My alltime favorite guitar song...........Just so sweet and tasty...........

just a few

Jennifer Batten - 8 finger tapping? The chick wails
Dave Mustaine - what an ass, but he rocks
John Petrucci - undeniably good
Roy Clark - didn't see that one, did you? The man is one hot picker
Robert Fripp - a bit unconventional, but damn

Now some of my faves

SRV
Allen Collins
Alex Lifeson
Tom Sholz
Eric Gales

Don't forget Yngwie, George Lynch, Brian May, Chris Duarte, Marty Friedman, Eric Johnson....

How the hell did I forget Django Rhinehardt?

For a guy that could only use two fingers on his fretting hand, he was amazing

oh, and props to Bo Diddley, a real pioneer
