along with what names are out there. Diamond Dave, may he rest in piece, Edward Van Halen, Nicki Six. KNowing notation is only going to help you if you plan on using it to learn. There is so much more then reading music. It is mostly about technique. I cannot read or write in notation, but I can read tablature. I am self taught, and can shred my bad a-- Ibanez.

Probably the most influential blues guitarist ever BB King. Completely self taught. Inspired Slow Hand and many others although I believe that he did eventually learn to read music. Saw him last year in Manchester with Gary Moore as a warm up act. Awebloodysome.
