Unsurpassed Master Guitarist Playlist

[8xlaxx]

Howard Roberts, Tommy Tedesco, Barney Kessel, Tal Farlow, Kenny Burrell, Hank Garland, etc. The Jazz studio masters were the best of the best. Then there are the Nashville session players from the 50's and Classical legends too. There are several different genres of music besides Rock and most have some astoundingly talented musicians on guitar.

Consider all the genres of music Tommy Tedesco recorded in. He even did Classical recordings on a nylon string guitar playing with a pick (in one of his seminars that's on YouTube he talks about doing that). How many other musicians could pull that trick off?

Nice seeing Barney Kessel getting some love in here on page 1,...

dude was one cool cat.

Clark was a spectacular picker and FUNNY as hell @ his stage act even before the whole Hee-Haw dealio hit town & tube.

All of the 50's & 60's Nashville session players were highly respected by the Jazz musicians of that era I know and knew. Jimmy Bryant and Hank Garland both were favorites of Country as well as Jazz players.

From a studio/session guitarist perspective, Dann Huff is unsurpassed. Madonna, Whitney Houston, Whitesnake ('Here I Go Again'), Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, Lonestar,... just to name a few.

Warren Haynes and Joe Bonamassa; both great singers too!

On guitarist Dann Huff: I have been reading about this cat for years and 'tis generally agreed he's among the best session players of the mid 80s-mid 90s era. Quite versatile, as evidenced even by the "short list" of artists w/ whom he's worked you included in your post.

I haven't checked out the entire thread, but I'll throw Joe Pass into the ring if he hasn't been mentioned before.

Even if he has, I'll mention him again!

Those are all great, Scott. I had kinda forgotten what a fine finger-pickin' stylist Pass was as it has been a while since I last watched him play. Top drawer stuff all the way. Thanks for the posts.
