Ahh, Link Wray, another cracking reference. Very influential, and, in many peoples views (including myself) single handedly invented the power chord.
Nice to see my thread has brought a plethora of guitarists names. Also nice to see some of the less known, but more influential players, like Link Wray, brought up.
Glad I started the thread now
