Incidentally, didn't he 'borrow' this from Chet Atkins, or did they come up with it simultaneously, just by coincidence? :?: :idk:

I think he was huge Chet fan. There's footage of them playing together too. It seems like he tried to figure Chet's harmonics and ended up taking way further: http://www.lennybreau.com/lbgp1.html

When it's done right (i.e. not be me :) ) it's a thing of beauty..

Blind Willie McTell. Reason being,he used his 12 string for sound effects to aid him in his storytelling. Kaki King-not just tapping,but percussive stuff too. Chet Atkins. I know a guy who plays geet like a banjo as well*looks at avatar*

I don't know if he has already been mentioned but here it goes

Billy Sheehan: after being amazing, he can tremelo with his fingers in a 1,2,3,4 pattern with three fingers - this is alot harder than it sounds

Robby Kreiger: Even though the Doors is really led by Jim Morrison and Ray Manzerick his right hand is amazing
