I gotta agree Hank B Marvin was outstanding in the era .. and watching the earlier post he sure can still make that axe talk.
But, here's someone I believe is one of the greatest guitarists in the world ... he is an Aussie, plays an Aussie-made guitar and is world-renowned and acclaimed.
Ahhh yes, I take back what I said about Hank is god...TOMMY IS GOD!!!!!!!!
Most hacker guitarists can pick out Shadows songs reasonably...there are few people on the planet can play Lead, Rythm AND Percussion on a guitar as Tommy does.
I went to a concert of his in Perth and would go again in a heartbeat.
He near brings me to tears, not the songs he plays but the absolute skill he displays playing them.
I think anyone who has ever attempted to pluck a guitar can only look at this man in awe.

Because he plays my type of music I, and most, consider this bloke the greatest country (Bush Ballad) guitarist Australia has produced. I have a few friends who play this style but none will ever be as good
Gday...

Thanks for the reminder.
And here's another Aussie that can be considered in that class: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_8d0DJpbBI What a talented country we live in.
Here is a good example of Tommy Emmanuel illustrating how he can play all parts of a band simultaneously.
