| Martin Barre (long-serving guitarist in Jethro Tull) has finesse and technique to spare but is not shy about cutting loose with some full-on riffage :) |

| Jerry Garcia was a masterful improvisational guitarist and had a knack for writing great melodies as well. |
 |
| Michael Nesmith actually wrote a bunch of snazzy songs during his tenure in The Monkees, but really shone in his subsequent "alt-country before alt-country" career. |
 |
| Lemmy is God. 'Nuff said! |
 |
| Allen Woody was The Man on bass: sophisticated, melodic, and f****** loud. Also a fine mandolinist! RIP, Woody. |
 |
| I don't know much about drumming, but I know Albert Bouchard's drumming has always blown me away. He seems to do just about everything else that's musical, too, and pretty damn well! |
