I really like Johnny Cash but a large part of the reason for that is because of Luther Perkins. The man's guitar playing is some of the best Ive ever heard. Very melodic and tuneful. One of th reasons Im unimpressed with most rock players is that its just hitting 8ths or in the case of metal players 16ths. Luther didnt just hit 8ths, he let the notes in his solos last different lengths and he knew when to leave space. He had a real dynamic approach thats influenced me no end.
