I haven't seen anyone give honorable mention to Tommy Chong. I mean, I wouldn't necessarily include him a list of greats, but the things that guy could do with a crescent wrench. A true innovator.

I have no idea who is/was the best, but I damn sure know my favorite and that is Jerry Garica.

I've come to like his solo stuff the best.

No Weir and Hart to ruin stuff. Laughing

hmmm, I suppose that was a mild insult, but since I am secure in myself I won't be offended.

My FIRST big one was Jimmy Page because I got into Zep at like 13. They're still great but I don't listen to them all that much now(mostly when I do it's that boxed dvd set). I mean they only have 9 albums. I'm a member of a Zep site but I rarely go there as it's pretty boring...not alot to talk about.

Anyway my all-time favorite is Jeff Beck. I saw him a few years back at The Tower Theater in Philly. WOOOOOW!!!!! The guy is phenomenal. Technically brilliant. His jazz-rock period being my favorite

i don't use to pay too much attetion on the instruments , well i do , but theres persons who take more attention to it than the whole song
you know i m not gonna like a song because it has the fastest solo you ever heard
i just like the melody , simple ... and then you can had a good solo , that gives you a great feeling
Like the Beatles , they were not the best players around but they did one of the best bands ever , if not the best one
or
like Clapton or Hendrix

not the way that some metal bands do

i must say that i love Keith Richards playing but i think that i don't have a favourite
i love Clapton because ,seems that the guitar speaks for him , seems so easy when he play it , so honest ...
and theres Hendrix , the power

but im not very good on these themes ... i don't know that many guitar players
Embarassed

Shoot Frances I think you stated your feelings very well. sunny

"Lenny Breau played more great stuff at one time than anybody on the planet... with feeling and tone. He was the best that ever lived, bar none." - Danny Gatton

Danny was modest--still, I've got to value that opinion. What I've seen of Lenny Breau on youtube can raise an eyebrow or two.
