I don't think music gets any better than this.

These guys are all so good.
I've long been a huge Richard Smith fan. For his particular style of thumb-picking / finger-picking there is no-one better. I listened to his interview on the Fretboard Journal podcast recently and it's amazing (but unsurprising) how much practice he puts in. When Covid was around and there were no gigs, he arranged to sit in the corner of a local cafe just to keep his performing chops up together. Here's the guy that's amongst the best in the world still puts in more practice than the rest of us put together. No wonder he's so good!
Joscho has such great Gypsy jazz technique. I have a live DVD of his and his playing is simply jaw-dropping. But always with a sense of fun and melody. Just an awesome player.
Rory Hoffman is relatively new to me - first saw him on YT a year or two back with Richard and Joscho. I've been blown away. A multi-instrumentalist who is amazing on whatever instrument he plays. There's a video of him backing Clint Strong (himself one of the best jazz-players around) on a Guitar Gathering chat and whatever Clint plays he just hears and plays the perfect backing - and it's not simple stuff either! Just phenomenal ears and technique.

PS I don't know much about bass, but Volker holds it all together rather superbly :-)
