stingrayPete1977 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Charlotte Hatherly from Ash plays some nice lead breaks live and she generally raised them as a band musically when she joined them. Good bassist too. Now plays lead for KT Tunstall, who I also like as a guitarist. Edited October 2, 2017 by stingrayPete1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kebabkid Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) There's so many but I'm going to go with Ian Bairnson, who's main body of work was with The Alan Parsons Project. Melodic and memorable solos that build nicely and he always had a great tone, too. Whilst many thought that the outro guitar solo on "Wuthering Heights" was David Gilmour, it was in fact this chap. Oh, and he was also the guitarist in Pilot. A bit of a newbie but I'm currently enjoying Mark Lettieri of Snarky Puppy's playing at the moment.

EliasMooseblaster Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 [quote name='DJpullchord' timestamp='1506862056' post='3381554'] Robby Krieger. [/quote] Oh, hell yes. I suspect he gets overlooked because (i) The Doors seem to be quite divisive and (ii) the things you notice first tend to be Morrison's voice and Manzarek's electric organ, but I've always loved Krieger's playing.

Raised them as a band and they were never as good after she left IMHO. Grey Will Fade, her first solo album, is great. [/quote] Yeah I love that album, I think we have the only copies of it!

Barking Spiders Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) pretty much all acoustic virtuosos the mainstream continues to ignore especiaolly Tommy Emmanuel, Pete Huttlinger (RIP), Leo Kottke, Dan Crary, Beppe Gambetta, Antonio Forcione, Peter Lang.. Viz the electric Danny Gatton (RIP) and the Hellecaster lads could have wiped the floor with many so-called 'guitar heroes'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snS4u6K5NbY Edited October 2, 2017 by Barking Spiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 One of my favorite guitar players is Neil Young-love his tone. Also fully agree re Bob Mould, his solo on Sugar's 'Hoover Dam' is one of my favourite ever. Also honourable mention for Hugh Cornwell of the Stranglers, and for Baz Warne, his successor.

leschirons Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I think the late Alan Murphy should be in here. Did some fabulous solo work (SFX) and also added the cherries on the cakes with the Go-West recordings. Got me going now, Alan Hinds is another to go on the list.

[/quote] + 1 Was just thinking exactly the same. One of the best guitarists I've ever seen, minimal effects but great tone and feel. Always plays for the song with great catchy riffs/hooks. Genius.

dudewheresmybass Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 James Hetfield gets loads of props as a rhythm player, but he is a great lead player as well. The first solo in nothing else matters is him, and there is a fair bit of footage around showing him play lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkandrew Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1506942690' post='3382101'] Yes I thought of him to and possible Keith Levene and James Honey-man Scott from the Pretenders. I personaly like those kind of guitarists that put a few layers to the music. [/quote] Another pretty-much unknown guitarist in the same style is Robin Simon - guitarist with Ultravox in the late 70s (before John Foxx left and Midge Ure joined) and John McGeoch's replacement in both Magazine and Visage.
