Tony Iommi

He should have been mentioned a long, long time ago.

Is there not much Sabbath love on these boards? Also note that they weren\'t mentioned as one of the "great rock bands" either.

I do, though normally not classical guitar. I have a few "musical heritege" CDs of classical guitarists that come up in shuffle time and again, but not enough to know their names.
