Man how could I have forgotten Les Paul. Hell, he invented the electric guitar and has forgotten more about playing then over half the guitar players in the world.

You guys forgot Frank Zappa! Sure, he was wierd in a wierd sort of way. But he had some mighty hot licks! At one time he was rated #1.
You didn't say electric only-Cat Stevens plays a mean accoustic. So does Willie Nelson I'll have to agree with Wardsweb on Joe Satriani. I can get lost just trying to listen. Let's not forget Kim Simmonds or Terry Kath. Brad Jeff Healey Last edited by steamshooter; 07-07-2002 at 08:13 AM. |

Al Dimeola
(he used to play with Chick Corea and Return to Forever in the 70's). He has really developed into an incredible musician. (how come my picture is not showing? only the link.... )

To post an image, you have to click on the IMG button (under font size), and copy the link there. If you want to post an image from your hard drive, select the "attach file" under the text box. I hope this helps. I agree with you about Al Di Meola, he is one hell og a guitar player, in fact there is a live album that's AMAZING: Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucia and Jon Mc Lauglin "A night in San Francisco". Chris |

Chris, that album is also an SACD recording so it makes it even more special!
My other favorites are The Manhattan Years Orange and Blue The Grande Passion (World Sinfonia group) And just one more - Kiss my Axe And on the image thing, that is exactly what I did. I have posted pics before in my posts, but this time… it just shows the link…. Cheers, Angela Last edited by angela; 07-07-2002 at 09:26 PM. |

For a woman guitar player I recommend Lita Ford and for acoustical stylings Melissa Etheridge.

Alot of great guitarists and I agree with them all. Let me just throw in another.
Tommy Bolin. I really like his solo stuff. Teaser and Private Eyes are both great. Here's another, Eric Gayles. This guy can play some guitar. I also like Kenny Wayne Shepherd. And Stevie Ray Vaughan. Wow, time to turn on the stereo. See ya!
