So many great clues, as always and I love the references to the legends.
The one clue that made me spit my tea out in total amusement was jws@22


Stringfellow uses the rhythm method. (9)

But democracy triumphs and the winner is

Fieryjack@4

Congratulations and a potpourri of prizes are below. I hope you enjoy them.

I've been lucky to see these two greats on the same stage

I will see you on the Weekend Peer Review.

Congrats FJ and thanks jimmy. Thanks for the mentions, geeker and paul.

What on Earth was that monstrosity of an instrument in the first clip? It might have justified itself if it had sounded good, but really, it didn't! Also quite often the fingerboard he was fretting seemed unconnected with the strings he was plucking!

Harp guitar or Pikasso guitar?

Looks like there's a network of sympathetic strings.

I was a huge Metheny fan from late '70s through early '90s, still like his music but haven't kept up with the latest developments.

Thanks geeker - he should bin it!

I love the "Electric Counterpoint" that Steve Reich wrote for him (though the "Vermont Counterpoint" for flutes is better, I think).

Nice one FJ and thanks jimmy

Kudos to geeker for name-checking the Gangster of Love at 15.

FJ 28, as a St. Louisan I am legally obligated to go with Albert here.

Thanks all for the votes & likes.
