Godfather of Acoustic Tap - Michael Hedges
From Wikipedia:
“There is nobody on God’s green earth that plays the guitar like Michael Hedges.” - Steve Vai
“Before Michael, acoustic guitar went from about right there to over here somewhere. After Michael, it goes from near the rest of us, where he found it, to out the other side of the world where he set it down for just a little while.” - David Crosby
“Michael Hedges is the guitarist from another planet.” - William Ackerman
"In Michael's hands, a guitar was a living, breathing extension of his deepest parts. It's almost as if he got so inside its body that the instrument was reborn. His passion for creating those exquisite melodies and technique was as focused as it was abandoned. There was simply no one like him." - Bonnie Raitt

Sadly, Hedges was killed in a car accident in 1997. If you want to know who influenced Eric Mongraine (and countless others) here he is.
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform in the Napa Valley several years before his death and I must say this brought back many memories.
