Concur ... LOL I've been in some pretty heated discussions about whose 
the best, and in hind-sight I think it really boils down to the type of 
music you like. There are a few artists that kind of cross those 
boundaries, for instance Roy Clark ... I mean the dude can play the 
banjo. I like the mandolin and dobro as well. I can't place the guys 
name, but he plays with Alison Krauss ... both he and Clapton are pretty 
good on the dobro. I think I favor the technician over the flash, but I 
do enjoy the showmanship aspect too. Ron Wood certainly would not be 
included (by some) on any top ten list, but on the Bridges of Babylon 
DVD he had this camera mounted on the neck of his guitar ... was cool 
looking down the fretboard and seeing a close-up of his finger work!
