Seadog Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Live at Roni Scotts is great on many levels. Sound quality, performance. Tal Wilkenfeld shows her chops on the bass too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be some fund raising for the station going on as well, but you'd be surprised at the depth of music and information presented.

BigStewMan Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I was kinda creative today; but I didn't make it to my top five. My top five are: Steve Howe Brian May David Gilmour Stevie Ray Vaughn Glen Campbell (he's so good that he belongs on every list ... and he could play rock). 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang_flht Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I do not believe that there is ONE best guitarist in the world. Of course I love Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, ... But, my favorites for their musical contribution are, apart from purely technical considerations, out of order: - Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna) - Fred Frith (Henry Cow, Art Bear, ...) - John Frusciante (RHCP) - Annie Clark (St Vincent) - John McGeoch (Siouxie and the Banshees, Magazine) - Geordie Walker (Killing Joke) - Colin Newman (Wire) - Peter Laughner (Pere Ubu) - Mick Taylor (Stones : he too was revealed by an anthology live: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, where his guitar parts are simply magic) - Franck Zappa - Robert Fripp (King Crimson) - Tom Verlaine (Television) - Robert Smith (The Cure) - Elliot Easton (The Cars) - .... And so many others 😃 @jimjimbo Thanks for the live reference, I'm going to listen to this "Live at Roni Scotts". My favorite album is There and Back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished reading SRV's biography, "Texas Flood". A superb book chronicling the rise, fall, and redemption of yes, a great guitarist. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
