An excellent choice. For mine, Paganini. The Robert Johnson legend originated with Paganini, who was said to have sold his soul to the devil for his outrageous talent....ofcourse, no recordings exist (died 1840) and it took generations to unravel his technique. What Paganini could have done with electricity....
If anyone remembers the crap movie Crossroads...a nice nod to the legend is the headcutting piece at the end between the Kid (Arlen Roth?) and The Devils Guitar Player - is Paganini's 5 Caprice.
Otherwise- JOHN HENRY BONHAM.
