Carlos Santana said that the reason he started palying guitar was because he was working at the Ramada where Sete was playing, and when he heard him he just had to play the guitar. The reason he got the gig at Monterey was because Diz demanded he be put on the roster. He used to go down to the Ramada to jam with him, he liked him so much.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Nigel Tufnel yet.

Good point. Though an amazing axe-man, many would say Tufnel’s greater talent was as a lyricist. Indeed, some critics consider his work (particularly the Smell the Glove album) on par with the likes of Byron or Shelley!
