Nels Cline
American guitarist and composer Cline is well-known. Cline has played guitar with Wilco since 2004. Cline concentrated on jazz during the 1980s, although he has also collaborated with punk and alternative rock bands. Thurston Moore and Mike Watt are examples of such musicians. At the age of 12, Cline picked up the guitar, while his brother Alex was an accomplished drummer. Cline states that listening to a rendition of Jimi Hendrix playing “Manic Depression” inspired him to pursue a career as a guitarist.
John Fahey
Guitar prodigy Fahey passed suddenly in 2001 at the age of 61. He was a wild, amazing fingerpicker who played American folk music. He is to be acknowledged with modernizing traditional blues music with sophisticated harmonies before prankstering with it. His singular technique, performed only on a steel-string acoustic guitar, is regarded as the origin of the American primitive guitar subgenre.
