Unsurpassed Master Guitarist Playlist

[grillebilly]

This is a hard to find (at least on record) track from an 18 year old Michael Bloomfield. Live with Charlie Musselwhite.
Guy was so soulful, damn shame we lost him so soon.

Rory Gallagher ?

 

[noogies]

Call It Sleep -- Steve Vai
Classical Gas -- Glen Campbell version
Who Do You Love -- Cipollina/Duncan
Dark Star -- Jerry Garcia
Black Napkins -- Frank Zappa
East/West -- Bloomfield/Bishop
One Way Out -- Allman/Betts
Loan Me a Dime -- Allman/Scaggs
Rockport Sunday -- Tom Rush
Aja -- Denny Dias.
Miserlou -- Dick Dale
Enigmatic Ocean (Parts I-IV) Stuermer/Holdsworth
Skydive -- George Benson (Freddie Hubbard)

These are just off the top of my head, and now that I look at them, I see (sadly) that they are mostly within the rock genre. I will add to this list when I get some time.

EDIT: Still more to come ...

One guy I forgot to mention, and nobody else has yet either. Steve Gaines. I can only imagine what he would have done had he not died in the plane crash. That dude had some chops.

We need to give this lady and her pill bottle credit for her skills.

Definitely!

Didn't Andy Sneap play all/most of the guitar parts on this for Glenn due to his Parkinson's?

Yes, Sneap is on tour, Although Glen showed up at the show I saw last month in SF. Glen played on the record. Read it took him a long while to get his tracks recorded. To their credit, The Band left him alone. Great live show BTW. Richie Faulkner is definitely the real deal. Dude blew us away!

Is Bonnie on drugs?

Seriously though, what track of hers would you put on your playlist?

Glen Campbell had amazing guitar skills - Gentle on my mind

 

[noogies]

Dick Dale

Miserlou, maybe? Good one, I'll add it to my playlist.

For slide work, Rory Gallagher was great, Duane Allman as well, but this kid trumps them all.

Derek Trucks. Make it thru this solo with your jaw closed, and I'll be surprised.

and this clip, where even John Mayer didn't want any. When BB King states to you that

"that's about as good as I ever heard it..." then you're doing something right.

That was great! He makes it look so effortless! Thanks for sharing that, Tim.

Jeff Healey. He has remarkable tone. A better than fair singer too.

And as a comparison, Gary Moore.

Roy did not play the guitar, he made it sing
