When I mean pre-rock, I mean before 1956 when blues and rock guitarists like Chuck Berry, BB King and Buddy Guy were starting to come into the forefront.
I would probably give it a tie between Les Paul and Chet Atkins. Both of them were highly influencial. There is of course really no dispute about Johnson's influence as a songwriter, but as a guitarist that may be a different question. I'm sure there are a few I missed, so let's hear it. |

Les Paul. Based on his looks I would think Steve Howe is in the same age group ------------- true as a lobster in a pteredaktyl's underpants.
