The Revernd Willie G. is one of the best blues-rock guitar players, I like his style Texas Blues has a swing feel and he play with dynamics and has a texture to his playing, some times he uses his fingers or a peso when he plays.

The reason I picked him is because of an interveiw I saw of Jimi Hendrix, he was asked what new guitar player (then) he liked and Jimi responded Billy Gibbons, so he is considered note worthy to Jimi Hendrix. I saw another interveiw where Billy Gibbons put in a good word for Stevie Ray Vaughn. So that is the link between those three. And everyone know about the Yardbirds, right?
