I'm glad to see Satriani on a few of these lists. Few virtuoso's have a groove. He also knew that sometimes playing the wrong note from a technical standpoint is the right note.
If memory serves, he gave lessons to a lot of well known players like Kirk Hammett, Steve Vai and Larry LaLonde. LaLonde really ran with the "wrong note is the right note" style.
Santana I think has been largely ignored for some reason. He was the only artist who was at woodstock to never get a grammy up until he had that one album with a ton of guests on it back in the 90's?
