Of course one of Bernard's most important contributions as a guitarist was to ditch the guitars altogether and use only machines.
That is interesting. I did not know that.

Beethoven himself had absolutely no skill with the guitar. His manuscripts contain no identifiable parts assigned to electric lead guitar. I could not in good conscience nominate him for this list.
