Wouldn't say he's my favorite but I've been getting into a lot of Eric Johnson lately, discovering new chords, etc....( and he's a combination of rock, blues and jazz )

To be honest, I never heard of Richard Thompson, so I'm gonna have to check him out sometime.

And a sweet person. If your daughter married a musician, he'd be the perfect guy.

I've read that Eddie was a very nice guy, and never bragged about his ability to play guitar. He was extremely humble.
