GuitaristsBruce Cockburn: Remarkable finger-style guitarist who's primarily known as a folk/rock singer/songwriter. But, when I've seen him live, I've been blown away by his ability to make the guitar do amazing things. Chris Dunnett: Cincinnati flamenco-style guitarist Neil Jacobs: Columbus gypsy-style and 12-string guitarist Phil Keaggy: One of the most remarkable guitarists I've ever seen. He can play anything, from ripping rock and roll to quiet folk. Has put out half a dozen great albums of instrumental guitar music in addition to a prolific career singing Christian pop.
