Eric Clapton!!!!! MY FAV! and in my eyes THE BEST!!! even though he's not really an acoustic guitar player, but every guitar player had to start somewhere...but i read this article by Tony Hogan and i would like to share a quote from that article with you...
"it’s not about how brilliant you are it’s about waht you get out of it. There are always going to be players arguing about McLaughlin, Brij Bhushan Kabra, Pat Martino, John Williams and the greats that have moved on like Hendrix or Segovia but how do you compare players of different styles, what criteria do you use for judging,… and in the end music is about feelings isn’t it, not about being flashy so that handful of players will say you are fantastic and everyone else says ‘That doesn’t even sound like music."
The best advice would just be to let your music be an extension of you. because in essence all musicians are GREAT in their own right and you may learn a few things from them, but watching them is not going to make you great, only you are!
