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
Another rather significant Aussie band from the 70s and early 80s was Cold Chisel. Lead guitarist Ian Moss. This is an example (not the best recording or rendition). Ian was not the lead singer. An example of an original Chisel song, somewhat better recording. |
@noske - I'm a big Cold Chisel fan, and just recently got that super-deluxe set of 'Circus Animals', with the framed signed photo and all. Yeah, Mossy is a superb guitarist - he sure lets it rip on songs like 'Letter To Alan' and 'Hound Dog'. They are still going strong and playing gigs down under. And Don Walker is such a good songwriter. |
Too right. As is Ian, and Steve, the drummer who penned when the war is over in the link I provided. |
Zappa. Eric gale phil upchurch. Kenny wayne shepherd. Samantha fish. Johnny lang. eric johnson. Eddie Hazel (big RIP) poppa chubby. Steve Rothery (of Marillion). Alex Lifeson, steve Hackett. Martin Barre. Alan Holdsworth. Robin Trower. Peter green. Paul Chapman (rip Tonka) steve Wilson Trevor Rabin …..etc |
