Mike Lindsey Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 John, Good call on Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.

Mike Lindsey Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 While posting to another thread, I forgot about one other great guitarist that is no longer with us... Terry Kath of Chicago. Terry was with Chicago for their first 8 albums (their best stuff) but had an unfortunate gunshot accident while cleaning it I think. Anyways, this was from 1969 to about 1977. Some absolutely great work on guitar from a true visionary... Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 OK, I'll give this one a try. I'm not a guitarist, nor do I play one on TV. First, my "Mount Rushmore" Jerry Garcia Eric Clapton Jimi Hendrix David Gilmour Hall of Fame (in no particular order)...... Robin Trower Frank Zappa B.B. King Jimmy Page Jeff Beck Randy Rhoades Trey Anastasio Edward Van Halen Carlos Santana Stevie Ray Vaughn Pete Townshend Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna) George Harrison Stephen Stills Best of the Rest Angus Young Joe Satriani Brian May Alex Lifeson Keith Richards Slash Steve Howe Jeff Healy I'm sure I'm missing a few, but it's a good start! ------------------ First we Rock, then we Roll!

Ray Garrison Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 mdeneen - Oops. Don't know how I could have forgotten to include Chuck Berry. There wouldn't be modern rock guitar without him. How about Les Paul? ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobman Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 mdeneen: Wow, another Roy Buchannn addict? So under-rated and not acknowledged, but the Master of the Telecaster. I have to give seconds for Les Paul, Segovia and Michael Hedges. Rock * Roll Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flason Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Doyle Brahmall II is a cool newbie. Lucky Peterson not only plays a great B3, his guitar work is fantastic. John Pretucci kicks some serious ***. Gary Moore's blues is great. Stanley Jordan is as fast as Satriani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLUngurait Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Another vote for S.R.V.! Although not really considered a guitar god...everytime I hear Mark Knofler's solo in "Sultans of Swing"...I get chills the like of which I hadn't felt since the live version of "Free Bird"!

Audio Flynn Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Finally someone mentioned Stephen Stills! Just saw him last week live do a killer 2-3 minute accoustic solo in the middle of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" he is a little slower than the times I saw him 25 years ago, but still hot. Brian Setzer is interesting. G.E. Smith from the Saturday Night Live band in years past made Hall and Oates allot of Money Michael Hedges AND Who is "Bucket head" this jazz guitarist who disguises himself; he is sharp. I think he is Van Halen or Slash; anybody know? I have a Narada compilation disc that has Slash doing a flamenco guitar tune; pretty cool. Do not forget those old guys Les Paul Chuck Berry Carl Perkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 This may seem pathetic, but did John Coltrane play guitar? I read these threads and wonder what the world would be like without Les Paul/Gibson or Leo Fender. Would Les Paul and Mary Ford be Rock? or Rockabilly? The old school country interests me for some strange reason, Patsy Kline, Hank Williams. They seem to poor their hearts out in their music. I guess there is artists still doing this, but there is a lot of the typical commercialization in todays music. Off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 John Coltrane plays the saxophone. If you purchased the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" CD, that's him playing that great sax...

Scubadj Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 There are so many as the previous posts attest. Here are a couple of names i don't think anyone has mentioned though Alvin Lee - a favorite of mine in the late 60's early 70's Robby Krieger - definitely under-rated John Lee Hooker - someone must have mentioned him, I especially like the collaborations with Canned Heat. Phil Manzanera - Solo and with Roxy Music Shannon Curfman - currently listening to her, lots of potential Leslie West - gotta say him just because Mountain concerts and their music bring back good memories There must be dozens other.
