Guitar
Obviously, there are a lot of amazing guitar players posting on outube but if you haven't checked out Mathias W. (Weber) already then you are in for a treat. He never talks in his videos so I don't even know if he speaks English but wow - what a player. His style reminds me a little bit of Junior Brown - insane double stops pulloffs and bends combined with very tasty melodic lead playing. he can shred with the best of them but he rarely does - mostly he plays the guitar as what it was designed to be - a musical instrument.
Check him out on this terrific solo guitar version of Alvin Lee's "I'm going Home" (sands vocals).
