Some people - myself included, unfortunately - like to talk about how
musician X is the best guitarist (or pianist, or trumpeter, or whatever).
I invite you to watch the linked video: it's 5 minutes of absolutely
amazing guitar playing (acoustic yet!) by a street buskar. I believe
this fellow could hold his own against very big names like, say, Leo
Kottke or Tommy Emmanuel. And he's a virtual unknown and likely to
remain so. And there seems to be plenty of similar videos on Youtube
of other, similarly talented musicians,
Best guitarist? No such thing, methinks.
Enjoy.
