A couple more influences to mention. Lonnie Donegan, who was the skiffle king in the UK, who was a formative influence for just about every band that came after. And Davey Graham, who was the guitar player who kicked off the folk revival that inspired Bert Jansch, and led directly to players like Jimmy Page, Paul Simon and Richard Thompson; all very different, but having roots in acoustic folk guitar.
