This old thread I found on google made me register to this forum lol
I just wanted to throw in my opinion...
I believe Willie is one of the most underrated guitarists ever. Last I checked Rolling Stone put him at 77 out of 100 and I feel like he should be top 25 easily.
Considering so many different styles of playing, there are very few in any genre who play like Willie and as effortlessly brilliant. He plays such a technical style so easily it's hard to think of him as a genius. He will hardly ever play the same song the same way, and each time it sounds like it was made to be that way. His picking ability blows my mind.
Actually, his vh1 storytellers performance with Johnny Cash is what made me want to learn how to play guitar. I'm a huge country and blues fan.. I mean outlaw and classic country.
He's not my favorite of all time but on my personal list he's top 10.
