I've loved Paco ever since I first heard Entre Dos Aguas, not long after it was issued.

As shown in that clip, I also enjoy his ability to make his guitar sound like anything but a piece of wood with six strings. Non-blues solos at 3:00 and 5:40 :

Since then I don't have any new favorites, but I enjoy many of them.

Sorry if it's for real, but it sounds like one of those spoof solo things which that Finnish guy did on youtube, where he overdubbed some videos of Clapton, Yngwie, Vai, etc with atonal or just wrong notes (googling "(guitarist name) shred" usually does it).

If it's bonafide, I guess I'm not ready for the avant-garde stuff

Eddie Van Halen is overrated in my opinion. He is just extremely fast but no creativity.
