I love Jimmy's work, but grew up with Elliott's music coming out of the radio.

"Best Friend's Girl" and "Just What I Needed" come to mind instantly as leads that were perfect for the song. Elliott can shred with the best of them, but seems to prefer writing and playing exactly what the song calls for.

He's also one of the only "Made it" guitar players that comes on forums to share his knowledge and experience. I admire that.

You got to give him his due.
