The usual suspects for me:
McLaughlin, di Meola, Goodsall, Holdsworth mainly for their work in their respective bands. Love Holdsworth - Bruford 'One of a Kind', 'Blues for Tony' and specially Gazeuse! McLaughlin, all of Mahavishnu Di Meola with RTF, and Goodsall with Brand X Abercrombie I know less, but love 'Ralph's Piano Waltz' song. This made me think of one of my favorite fusion albums, Cosmic Messenger, and think I really like the guitar work there.. I believed it was Jamie Glaser on that record, who I saw live in 2013 with Jean Luc Ponty's 'The Atlantic Years' tour to my delight! (ah.. something priceless to see the best jazz fusion recreated right from the 70's...), but it turned out he wasn't! and was Joaquin Lievano. Don't know if you've seen this vid but since some of Paco de Lucía other works were mentioned, I thought it does no harm to post this one here. "Caña de Azúcar" |

I felt the same "effortless" coming from McLaughlin in those concerts, whereas Al Di seemed to be working so hard. John and Paco had this "spirit flowing through me" auras about them. Same in the Trio when it was Coryell was the third. I LOVE Larry Coryell--the man could express emotion so well--but he still felt "human" while McLaughlin and De Lucia felt "super-human."

Just curious: does anyone know of any vids with Holdsworth playing acoustic guitar?

Thank you! This is awesome! Reminds me of Larry Coryell playing an Astor Piazzollo song!

Dead heat for me between Holdsworth and Mclaughlin. I prefer Mclaughlin's output but I have (over time) started to prefer Holdsworth's playing.
