Some videos of Steffen Basho-Junghans who died in Dec 2022 (born 1953). East German guitarist.
From wikipedia:
Basho-Junghans was born in North Thuringia in the former German Democratic Republic on 27 November 1953.[1] At the age of 17 he taught himself to play acoustic guitar and in 1978 formed the folk band Wacholder. In 1979, influenced by the American guitarist Leo Kottke,[2] he began performing solo instrumental music on 6- and 12-string guitar. Throughout the 1980s he became influenced by artists on John Fahey's Takoma Records label. During this period he discovered the music of Robbie Basho, and consequently became interested in Japanese haiku poet Matsuo Bashō, who had influenced Robbie Basho. Steffen Junghans incorporated the name 'Basho' into his own,[3] as a mark of respect. Throughout the 1980s he lectured on acoustic guitar history and performed numerous concerts.
Basho-Junghans has released recordings on the German label Blue Moment Arts; the American labels Sublingual, Strange Attractors and Locust; the Italian label Sillyboy; the Australian label Preservation; and Kning Disk in Sweden, appears on several compilations. His music, unorthodox explorations between traditions and experimentation, is influenced by North American Indian, Asian, New music and European classical music.
Basho-Junghans died from cancer on 1 December 2022, at the age of 69.
His "Smiling Penguins" (from the Wooden Guitar compilation on Locust Records also featuring tracks from Jack Rose, Sir Richard Bishop and Tetuzi Akiyama and another longer raga piece by Basho-Junghans) was the track that made me want to investigate more because the odd sound of the strings, like it was composed with the finger placements close to the bridge. Then I got into his melodic side. An easily accessible shorter track called "Sky Dreamers Gold" from his album Late Summer Morning.
Longer improvised pieces have unexpected hypnotic melodic twists
3rd video includes the reason why he added "Basho to his name (after discovering Robbie Basho) and an interesting explanation of how the lack of access to recordings from the West in East Germany had an influenced on finding his own guitar style.

Love me some BB.
On their 1969 tour the Stones took BB, and Tina Turner, as an opening act. This was before Thrill is Gone. To tell the truth, I always thought him to be a better blues singer than guitar player. Still iconic and influential playing though.
Robert Fripp puts everyone else in their place with his solo on Brian Eno's Baby's on Fire:

Tal Wilkenfeld on the Lex Fridman pod.
I haven’t listened yet. Lex is always a big time investment but worth it when the person/subject matter interests you.

She is a musical genius! Don't argue with me, that's what Jeff Beck said!
