Your favourite guitarist

[Tin Pot]

Can't find that chord in my book anywhere...

But nice how she takes the head between her thumb and first finger...

 

[Aperitif]

Paco de Lucia Al di Meola and John McLaughlin. A blend of three into one.

John Martyn has to be up there somewhere though,

Not sure I have a favourite.

Don't know him much but Dominic Miller is quite impressive.

Bert Jansch was quite good.

I'd like to have seen Hendrix, BB King, Clapton and the guys from the stones, AC/DC and eagles.

But I can't say I have a favourite.

It's the late great Johnny Winter for me ,seen here helping his mate out.

 

[lutonloony]

Guess it depends on my mood to some extent. Dave Gilmour, Satriani, and Bonamassa, to name a few

But nice how she takes the head between her thumb and first finger...

Sure I've seen that technique in another book somewhere...

[Richard A Thackeray]

Brian Setzer
I like his work be it solo, with 'The Stray Cats', or leading 'The Brian Setzer Orchestra'



And, from these shores, Mark Harman of Restless, & previously, of Dave Philips & the Hot-Rod Gang



Plus, Dave Edmunds; wizard on the guitar, singer/song-witer/producer
Some may know him from the 70's/80's, maybe with Love Sculpture, and that amazing version of Sabre Dance
His wondrous tribute to the (Spector) Wall of Sound' LP; 'Subtle As A Flying Mallet'
His 80's hits like 'Queen Of Hearts, 'Girls Talk', etc....


He produced such diverse artists as The Stray Cats, to KD Lang (her 'Angel With A Lariet' LP)

Stuart Adamson

Top man, he made bagpipes that sound like Guitars!
Don't forget his contribution to The Skids too

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

From my first musical love, even before Edmunds, & rockabilly; Country

I give you the Guitar man himself..... Jerry Reed
(he wrote that, & also 'A Thing Called Love')


Plus, Ricky Skaggs

 

[Tin Pot]

From an era where some guitarists would hang a cloth over their left hand so other guitarists couldn't steal their riffs!



So my dad 'stole' a variation based on what he heard and could remember, and I still play that version occasionally.

And it's still tricky!
