Great player. A footballing idol in my youth. Not the greatest of all time, though, I reckon. Best player in the 1960s, I'd say. He was also a fine ambassador for the sport. He will be missed.

Everyone's favourite guitarist, rightfully, is Frank Zappa, whether people admit it or even realize it YET.

Keep in mind Frank Zappa is one of the best no doubt about it, but not everyone's favorite, but you are more than welcome to speak for yourself and your twin if you wish. 🙂

Zappa was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 1990 at the age of 49, and died from it in 1993. Died far too young!

I have many guitarists I like. I never was big on Zappa , but being music is an art form as such can't be wrong.
That being said I don't enjoy discordant songs with 2 different time signatures simultaneously

This may or may not undermine whatever you might say about Pele, then.
