Leo Kottke should be higher up imo. I've seen him twice and he put on a great show both times. Doc Watson is at #73 C'mon, He should be higher up than that. Peace, Josh ---------------- I agree. We should remember that It's not what our list of guitarists can do for us but what we can do for our list of guitarists Right Josh?

IB Slammin Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I wish that I had gotton into this mess earlier.... Frank was a killer live!!!! I forgot Marino. Joni mitchell? Come on kids. Lifeson is....light... ---------------- On 9/9/2003 1:35:05 PM Curmudgeon wrote: I'm wondering why Zappa is so far down on both lists, although not directly known for it he is a serious guitar player. Should be in the top ten, at least in my opinion. Guitar Magazine's list makes a lot more sense than the Rolling Stones one, though. And by the way, where is Mato Nanji of Indigenous on either list? That dude can literally channel SRV on stage - a hell of a guitar player! A "must hear" in a concert venue, CD's can't capture the kind of show Mato puts on. Anyone else seen Indigenous in concert? ---------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reactor444 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Eric Clapton is sooooo overated....The guy has no signature....Eddie???? Yeesh....Neil and Robbie Robertson are much better guitarists but highly underated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but I found a mint copy of their Greatest Hits lp at the library and actually bought it. I didn't think they had enough songs let alone hits to fill up an lp!

IB Slammin Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I forgot R. Trower.... Brutal... A youngster asked me " Who was the best Rock guitar player you ever heard live". " Who was the best electric blues player you ever heard live"? The ansewer was the same for both. James Marshal Hendrix I saw him the first time in the early days......but when I saw him in Feb of 70...... Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Frank Zappa ( sat on top of 2 Marshalls and wailed - twice) ---------------- One of the reasons I have so much respect for Frank Zappa as a guitar player is that I saw him in concert around 1981, about the time he was promoting the Shut Up 'N' Play Yer Guitar album. The venue was at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. This concert was different than a lot of his earlier shows, there was less goofing around and for the most part FZ and the band stuck with harder edged, more guitar oriented songs. FZ did a lot of solo's and absolutely cooked, it seemed he was concentrating (at that time) on demonstrating that he was as able a guitar soloist as any of the other "heavies". If FZ had wanted to he could have played lead for any of the hard rock bands around and made a name for himself doing nothing but that. Of course, FZ was too talented in other areas to just stick to lead guitar, he left a legacy of varied and interesting music that no one else will ever truly duplicate. So you wanna be a crew s l u t ? Don't make a fuss - just get on the bus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschfoot Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Eddie Van Halen will be remembered as a great guitarist stuck in a bubblegum rock band. He needs to dump his brother's mediocre drumming and form his group around his craft. What a waste. He's 48 years old. It may be too late for him to realize this. addition: Lowell George for his influential slide guitar. honorable mention: Ty Tabor (still developing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
