OI, there are sooo many greats and sooo many genre's I couldn't begin to say. But I like Steve Howe from "Yes" His classical style fused with progressive rock sent a chill up my spine when I saw him play in 78.

But yeah, you're a music lover too Charlotte and your choice of Eric Clapton is a good one as well.

Was turned onto a fantastic guitarist named Mato Nanji of the band called Indigenous.

If you like Stevie Ray Vaughan, you will like Indigenous.

Enjoy!

Doc is still one of the all-time best guitarists.

Eric Clapton is tops too

I guess you took my post wrong, bro.

In the Steve Vai categorey of guitar I would go with Joe.....he blows Steve out out the water (its because he taught him) ;)

I refuse to vote. It would be like somebody asking me to name the best food of all time. Even if you had one, you couldn't make a steady diet of it. Different foods satisfy different cravings.

what about Hendrix. and lets not forget about the king of the blues mister B.B. King

Title: Re: cant find the "best guitar player thread&
Post by assaultme on Oct 1^st, 2007, 6:33pm

Redd...you bet Santana. Carlos is so good he can play with almost anyone. Did you hear the tune he did with Rob Thomas "Smooth" How bout with Michelle Branch "Game of love"

Yeah, he is so distinctive. He doesn't play 20 seconds and you know it's him.

Yeah 2late...the left handed genius Jimi is tops. He used to wrap that big thumb of his around the neck and make bar chords. Yeah, he's right up there too. He gave Randy California his name (guitar player from "Spirit"
They met in a guitar store I think in N.Y. He told him: "I'll call you Randy California"..the name just stuck.

BB King needs no introduction....a legend. Many of his original guitar riffs were recycled and used by top rock guitar players over the years. It's no surprise considering that rock sprang from the blues musicians of the South.

Cheers, Dave

As well as from "slave field songs", Rock music has many genras to thank.

Carlos Santana evolkes in me an emotion I can't explain.

But... there are some genras that I just can't wrap my ears around.

Post by assaultme on Oct 1^st, 2007, 7:16pm

You bet Redd !!! Jazz plays a part too. Indeed slave field songs were the roots as well.

Yeah, I agree...Carlos' guitar makes me "feel" as well. That is when you know an artist is great. He/she can paint a picture in your mind with only sound.

Me too about some genres' I appreciate them, but dont listen to them all.

Cheers, Dave

Buddy Guy and Carlos Santana

Clapton, BB King, Beck, Collins and Buddy Guy all on the same stage....doesn't get much better than that, does it?
