Great Guitarists in Rock History

[Cazzie]

Leslie West, you'd a thought he'd have lost some weight as hard and heavy as he played a guitar. One of my faves.

Now get this, I don't really like Heavy Metal that much, but Buck Dharma owns them all!

Hey All,

Rock guitar you say well I'll tell ya - This guy takes a backseat to nobody! Not Hendrix, Vaughan, Clapton, Malmstein - any of em - in terms of sheer talent and I'll bet dollars to donuts none of those guys can switch switch to steel like Junior. He's wearin a white cowboy hat so you know he's got to be good! :d

Al Pitrelli. This guy has inspired my playing so much over the last few years. If I could only get half as good, then I would be a happy man !

I know he's not that old, and I'm not a Pantera fan, but someone has to mention Dimebag Darrell. He was incredible and he wrote brilliant pieces.

I think Gary Richrath of the classic era of REO Speedwagon gets too little regard. He's a master of the Cry Baby Wah pedal!

Give a listen to the live version of Golden Country.

Peter Buck of R.E.M. has been one of my favorites over the years and has influenced a generation of guitarists with his jangly Rickenbacker/Telecaster fueled sound.

Someone has to toss in Mark Knopler....ok, I'll do it.

Have to post this one again. In my opinion, one of the best all around players with one of the best bands of all time.
Here's a very early clip of some of the southern style picking of Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs.
Great part about the Dregs is that they do more than just southern rock stuff. They cover all the bases.

Sorry that didn't work.

Let's try that again.

ROFPMPL!



Man I would love to play in a band like that, they look like a ton of fun!

Did you notice that despite all the drummer's actions and gyrations he never missed a single beat! What a performer....BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!
