So we've had a thread about Great Voices & I got to listen to a few I may not have otherwise. I thought I would start one dedicated to our favorite guitar players.
I have always been a huge guitar fan as far back as I can remember. George was my favorite Beatle & Carl was my favorite Beach Boy. Even though most of my musical taste is derived from British invasion era, when asked what kind of music I like I will often answer "guitar music". Good guitarists are many & I have great respect for all of them but some just have "IT" whatever "it" is.
Jimmy Page is & always will be my #1. I don't care how sloppy or loud it gets, to my ears he can do no wrong & always amazes me!
Whether he is playing solo acoustic
Adding tracks in the studio
or jamming with the band
Some of my other favorites include...
Jeff Beck
Ritchie Blackmore
Steve Howe
John McLaughlin
Carlos Santana
Derek Trucks
Glen Campbell
Lee Ritenour
Willie Nelson
Johnny Winter
Rory Gallagher
Duane Allman
B.B. King
Some other really great guitarist that I like but don't quite have the "it" that lets me listen to them for hours, days & years on end.
Jimi Hendrix
Al DiMeola
Herb Ellis
Robin Trower
Joe Pass
Alvin Lee
Chet Atkins
Kim Simmonds
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Larry Carlton
George Benson
Eddie Van Halen
Who are your favorites? Maybe I can add to my library!
