yeah a friend of mine down the street is into guitars and I help him with car repairs so he took me to see him, because he knows I love music, esp guitar based bands. I was impressed with Stanley Jordan, but looking at the posts in here you and M3S really look at the history of guitarists as the "Mt Rushmore'' of guitarists and all the guitarists mentioned are valid. My list is basically based on what I've listened to and consider "great". I'm glad to have grown up in the "prime" of guitar rock (OK a few years late but caught the end of it all)
Those are kind words. Thanks so much. I think that everyone’s list is valid and nobody should be hamstrung by someone else’s version of what this might mean. You can up with a great topic and I’m enjoying all the responses. I’ve heard plenty of folks over the years say that Dimebag Darrell was far and away their favorite and others have mentioned Buckethead or Tom Morello or Yngve Malmstein. All very talented no doubt. I’ll have to think a bit about my favorites but as I said in my earlier posts my favorites are typically bound up with the songs they play. So for example I think Stevie Ray Vaughn was incredible. He could sound like Hendrix when he wanted to. That take skill AND guts. That said, like Hendrix I don’t tend to listen to him because While I like some of the songs I don’t love them. I’ll get back to you on this. You’ve given me food for thought.

Theres no wrong way to make the list brother. Whatever moves you. Music is art in its purest most primal form IMO. Whatever turns you on and illicit that primal reaction from the animal part of your brain is the correct response. Plus, we are all sleeping on Albert King. That guy plays straight from his fkn sack man.

humans and music are really primitive, simple things that move us, its in our DNA
we overlook the "best" or dont give the right people the credit, so many Clapton songs weren't Clapton songs!
Albert King
Robert Johnson
JJ Cale

Absolutely! But the great thing about the blues is that artists were always covering songs they loved, or taking somebody elses riff and building something off it, or even something as simple as a weird timing change.

many many covers of this song! (hear a lot of Creedence Clearwater Revival here, or should I say hear a lot of this in CCR)

Speaking of Santana and John McLaughlin, they did a ridiculous concert promoting their Love Devotion Surrender album in '73. The band is crazy. Arto Moreira on percussion and Billy Cobham on drums. If you have the time, despite the rough quality, it's worth a listen:
Another one of my favorites from Santana:

Indeed. The song Fogarty was accused of plagiarizing from himself was actually nicked from this LOL!!

he gets such a bad rap because he killed himself etc etc, but watching his live performances and listening to all their albums I think he was great, I love Nirvana
