...these historically acknowledged great Les Paul Players, such as Jimmy Page, Peter Green, Duane Allman etc.

I'd say he is already one of the best players around, his music becomes better and better, but at the moment he still lacks a bit of that magic and mojo you need if you wanna become a member of the club of the a.m. gentleman. I think maybe some 10 more years...still the diamond Bonamassa is too polished maybe, but he will make it, I'm sure. I think nowadays he's already known for playing LP, but still only in the minds of guitarists. The a.m. guys have that overall global image that everybody and his neighbour has of them, playing their LP.

I've voted yes. :

What do you think? And why?
