Leowasright Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I would love to be able to sound like Paul Kassoff (Free). And I love Malcolm Young's (AC/DC) rhythm playing. And Neil Young for both his acoustic and very eclectic electric work. Am I allowed three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 [quote name='Marcus' post='401735' date='Feb 6 2009, 07:52 AM']I'd only "choose" to listen to one Guitarist...... Frank Zappa (although to merely pidgeon0hole hims as a Guitarist wouldn't do the man justice) I only tolerate other guitarists [/quote] I love Zappa as well. Saw him a few times and he was great each time, one gig he had some young 'second' guitarist with him called Steve Vai, seemed very good at the time - wonder what happened to him. . . The Zappa plays Zappa gigs were great as well. Really spooky to watch the big screen showing Frank playing the lead guitar but with a live band synched up to him. Also to hear Dweezil playing note for note perfect copy of some of the original parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Zappa was amazing,the solo on zombie wolf is so sleazy,andy summers is the dogs,and nick drakes acoustic stuff is awesome,and the different tunings he used were beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Robben Ford Eric Johnson Carl Verheyen Brian Setzer Good to see both Al Murphy and Richard Thompson mentioned, best "unsung guitar hero" awards to those guys, definitely more exposure for both deserved.

KevB Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Anyone mentioned Steve Morse? awesome technique without the Vai/Satch type histrionics. Don Roeser from BOC for style and knowing what notes to leave out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Keith Richard for his great chops, ditto Chuck Berry. Clapton when he's on form. Freddie King. Mike Campbell with Tom Petty - masterful. Larry Carlton Johnny Marr Steve Cropper Dave Grissom James Honeyman Scott (Pretenders) Nils Lofgren Anybody seen Bobby Bandiera play? He deps with Bon Jovi on their tours,but is the mainstay of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Great player of so many styles,ace tone and a fine singer too!

Very stylish player. I saw him a couple of times in the 80's when he was on tour with vibes player Red Norvo. (He is/was also an accomplished sign-writer!).

I used to work with his cousin, so very sadly I knew he wasn't long for this planet. Great player.[/quote] Saw him play with Level 42 at the back end of the eighties.....he didn't look well at all then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starvolt Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 In no particular order, though Matt Bellamy is my favourite. I'll bung in a good example of each, even though you've probabally heard them all anyway! Hendrix - Bloody mahussive hands!
