Favourite Guitarists


This discussion was inspired by the recent article about our 3 favourite female singers.

Because it was impossible for me to pick just three female vocalists ( I love women singers), I will not put a limit as to how many you wish to vote for. I limited myself to a dozen. However, if you list more that 50 I will seriously question your decision making skills.

In no particular order, except for Rory at number one.

1. Rory Gallagher

2. Peter Green

3. Roy Buchanan

4. Joe Bonamassa

5. David Gimour

6. Slash

7. Johnny Winter

8. Duane Allman

9. Stevie Ray Vaughn

10. Mark Knopfler

11. Glen Campbell

12. Guthrie Govan

 

128x128tony1954

I’m sure if I went through my collection I could find many- but one that hasn’t been mentioned yet is Danny Gatton. Although his story ends sadly the impression he left on many stands to this day.

David Gilmour, Wes Montgomery, Vince Gill,

George Benton, Jimmy Page, Django Reinhardt,

Eric Clapton…..too many others to list…

My fav’s at the moment. Players I have to stop and listen to the guitar parts:

- Johnny Marr

- Eddie Van Halen

- Ernie Isley (I think he learned from Hendrix)

Tommy Bolin

Alvin Lee

John Mc Laughlin

Ritchie Blackmore
