Buckethead is not only am amusing read but his genre reach is overwhelming.

Ryan McGarvey. If you like the blues check this guy out. I discovered Ryan by chance at the New Mexico State Fair 11 or 12 years ago when he was just 19 years old. My wife and I were getting ready to leave and were walking across the fairgrounds headed for our car. Off in the distance I heard some blues music playing. I look at my wife and said, "change of plans" and followed my ears to where he was playing. We watched his entire gig, mostly with our mouths agape. After the show I spoke with him a little and bought a CD that he autographed for me. Ryan has gotten a lot better over time. Pretty good when you consider that he started at such a high level to begin with. He has a bunch of stuff up on Youtube if you want to check him out. Let me know what you think.

Ryan McGarvey - Great technique but a bit flowery for the blues.

Patrick O'Hearn. Mostly his newer post-So Flows the Current stuff. I'm a huge fan of pure instrumental music be it electronic, acoustic, jazz. I think I found him on AllMusic when I was searching for instrumental artists. He's categorized as New Age but I'm not a fan of the genre itself, but he does it so differently than from what I've heard.

A nice list but I would categorise them as 50% = popular. 25% = loved by many and 25% = maybe worth looking up. That's just me who currently listens to a lot less music than I used to. For me I can always find someone or a group on YT that I have never heard of that makes me go looking for more content by them.

This guy is a street performer in Waikiki. He's honestly one of the best guitar players I've ever heard. Before Covid he was regularly on Kalakaua Ave at least a couple nights a week.
