I don't know how many of you guys have heard of Lenny Breau, but when I started playing in the late 70s he was a big figure in the guitar world back then. He was an amazing player tormented by drug usage and died in 1984, but some of his legacy lives on especially on youtube.

'Guitar' magazine at the time considered him to be one of the finest players ever:

Lenny was great, one of my favourite chord melody players for sure.
