Hi Jack,

I have a few minutes to spare so lets get the ball rolling!

1. Yes
2. Enthusiast
3. Yes, a number, but I think "top of the hill" was the most challenging.
4. I had a poor atempt at "misdirected blues" (i think this one of the best recorded blues solos ever)
5. Top 3.... there are so many but Robben Ford (of course), Matt Schofield & Steve Morse are stand out for me.
6. John Mayer (good all rounder, and has made it through into pop!!?)
7. Robben Ford, Matt Schofield & Simon McBride
8. Hendrix, Clapton, Brian May (Slash, Santanna?)
9. No (interested to know why this question is asked)

Jack,

I think this thread should've been posted under General Discussion, but since you're new here, and I don't know how to move it for you, I guess it will stay where it is (unless someone else knows how to move it ?)

Anyways, here's some data for your research:

1. yes
2. enthusiast
3. yes, chords to Lovin' Cup and Riley B King
4. no, nothing in full
5. Robben Ford, Bobby Lee Rodgers, Johnny A., and Eric Johnson
6. BB King
7. Robben Ford, Derek Trucks, Joe Bonamassa
8. BB King, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan
9. I recognized some of the titles (when I read your post yesterday) but I could not figure out where I recognized them from. It was eating away at my mind, so I cheated. I volunteer at my daughter's high school and frequently drive kids home from sports practice. Their music is like second hand smoke.

Let us know the results of your survey! I like pie charts.
