The best local guitarist I ever heard was Kenny Wathen. Old timers in Southern Maryland will remember him when he played with Louis Knott.
The best Regional was Danny Gatton I used to go to the Crossroads in Bladensburg to hear him.
Roy Clark was good, but no one could hold a light to Chet Atkins.
He not only played great but made it look so easy when he did it.

Danny Gatton
I never got the chance to see him play. I use to work with his wife Jan though. A very sweet lady.
I think my vote would be for Carlos Santana.

I only saw him the one time and like I said it is something I will NEVER forget. I've seen a lot of great guitar players in my time, but he absolutely blew me away. Especially the part where he played with a beer bottle and a towel covering the neck of the guitar.I never got the chance to see him play. I use to work with his wife Jan though. A very sweet lady.
Probably a close second or third in my book. I've never seen him in person but he's definitely one of the great ones.

...I ever saw is Tom Gattis, late of Deuce and Tension. Everyone else, everyone, is just pissing around compared to him. He does rhythms with more good #### to them than most people's lead playing.

Stanley Clarke
Marcus Miller

The original dream team-Return to Forever-Chick Corea, bassist Stanley Clarke, guitarist Al Di Meola and drummer Lenny White!
one of the most influential groups of the 70s.

Awesome!
I have the original album put out in the early 70's but I need to find and get the ones after that where the 4 of them played together. I hope they tour around here cause I'd move heaven and earth to see them.

Awesome!
I will guarantee I WILL be in town that weekend.
I just signed up at Chick Corea's website to be notified of the tour dates.
I just had a vision of being handed a CD of Keb Mo and Robert Cray soon... very soon... maybe even this very weekend...
But it's only two songs. 
Okay, onto the top of my to-do list this goes. I think I've told this to you (or at least to someone else on here ) but I saw him perform down at St. Mary's College in the late '70s. Absolutely AWESOME.

Good, I wasn't losing it.
Great concert although I wasn't nearly as close as you were. Do you remember him stopping the concert because the kids were so rowdy and saying something to the effect 'get the eff out if you aren't here to listen to my music'? You could have heard a PIN drop after that.
