Guitar Alphabet. Please fill out unused letters...

I've just got an idea of creating the short guide to rock and jazz guitar players. So you will see that it's sorted by guitarist's last name in ascending alphabet order. Than I provide an information about the band he/she had been playing. You will see in caps the most respected guitarists on my list. Also there should be one or two bands or credits that he/she had been playing with. Please feel also free to add to the letters that already have one or more guitarists.

Here we go:

A -- AKKERMAN JAN / Focus
B -- Bruce Jack / Creme
-- Beck Jeff
-- BELEW ADREAN / King Crimson
-- BUCKETHEAD / Praxis, Guns and Roses.

Here's a "B" - Lindsey Buckingham, of Fleetwood Mac. Truly great, mostly underappreciated, finger-picker extraordinaire.

Here's a "K" - Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits. Voted Guitar Player Of The Year when the Dire Straits debut LP came out. Another superb finger-picker.

Here's an "L" - Sonny Landreth, probably the best slide guitar player around. Has played with John Hiatt & Mark Knopfler, as well as having about 4-5 solo albums.

Pere Ubu won't qualify, but what about James "Blood" Ulmer?

As for Q, add Robert Quine, an indie-rock legend who has played on (and defined) Richard Hell, Lou Reed, Matthew Sweet and others' records.

Verlaine, Tom (Television and solo).

Zoom, Billy (X).

Sharrock, Sonny.

Young, Neil.

Mould, Bob (Husker Du).

Uhhh, this could go on for awhile...fun parlor game.
