UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread

Only because  I found a REALLY  good  copy of terrible  Ted's debut(his best IMO) yesterday, I'm sharing this one. Ted describing the electric  guitar God hierarchy gets my vote. I tapped out after Dog Eat Dog(before Derek St Holmes was dropped.) Those 2 albums and early Amboy Dukes still sound great to me.

Clearthinker must have spent an enormous amount of time interviewing 20-somethings to make such a blanket statement about ALL of them.

And as far as I'm concerned, music coming from digital workstations is every bit as valid as coming from a gee-tar and requires a great deal of skill to do well.

Whichever it is, if it doesn't serve the song/composition and is just there to impress about what a good musician you are, not interested.

Les Dudek anyone?

@fpbpbm - when I worked in a record store in the 70's, one of my friends there was a real big Les Dudek fan. He was a fine guitarist indeed....

Going back to Ted, probably my fav song of Amboy Dukes, "Baby Please Don't Go", is done  better by Them, IME, I even prefer strange rendition by Beacon Street Union. Still, I did like the Dukes back in the day, living in Michigan how could I not.

Amazingly, the Jimi Hendrix of blues was Jimi Hendrix.
