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.

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.
