Top Ten Favorite Guitar Players - - EVER!

Post by Parpa »

Ok...I know this has been done before (numerous times), but I'm curious about this lot here...

Top Ten Favorite Guitar Players - - Ever:

10. Marc Knopfler
9. Eric Clapton
8. Steve Kimock (http://www.kimock.com/)
7. Fareed Haque (http://www.fareed.com/)
6. Dickey Betts (Allman Brothers Band)
5. Jimmy Hendrix
4. Wes Montgomery
3. BB King
2. David Gilmour
1. Jerry Garcia

Honorable mention:
Jimmy Page
Neil Young
The Edge
George Harrison
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Freddie King
Ry Cooder
Jeff Beck
Grant Green
Django Reinhardt
Chuck Berry

This is such a tough (and personal) thing to do. There are so many!! But I always find it interesting where people's tastes are at. I have a real love for traditional music (i.e. jazz, blues, bluegrass) and of course anyone who can take what's been done in a traditional sense and re-invent a particular sound (i.e. David Gilmour and the blues). Again, way too hard to make a list like this...sorry to be so cheezy. I must be bored here at work!
