Ah yes, Mick, that is superb! If you like that kind of stuff, also check out Brad (Buster) Jones (he listened to Merle Travis, Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed on 78 records at the wrong speed as a kid and thought that's how fast they were played, so learned to play that fast!). Peppino D'Agostino is also a favourite of mine (check out a tune called "Grand Canyon" especially) and also Eric Roche (album "With These Hands").
Christo, my other influences include old UK folk scene heroes like John Renbourn (who also says Tony McManus is the best celtic acoustic player he's ever heard) and Bert Jansch, whose version of "Angie" I love to play.
On electric funnily enough, I tend to play a mix of SRV, Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, (told you I like Irish music!), etc. I listen to mostly rock, blues/rock etc. I do play a bit of slide guitar (open G, or "Spanish" tuning on acoustic & electric), but it hurts my dodgy arm after a while!
And just caught your next post - haven't heard any Jose Feliciano, but will look for it, same with that Tommy Emmanuel Mick - right up my street (no, I can't play like that either!).
