--Señor Jorge Orozco and some others...classical or Spanish guitarists, I've felt have always been cut differently from blues guitarists.-- I've heard some spanish guitarists but I never heard of him. Will have to check him out. Believe it or not, the reason I got into spanish guitar was from listening to Tesla. A girl I knew said the beginning of one of their songs sounded like a spanish guitar. So I bought some tapes c
----do not know where he is last time I saw him anywhere he was the devils Haircutter in "CROSSROADS" the movie with ralph Macchio.-- Crossroads wasn't a bad movie. Ry Cooder did the music score for the movie. --he is on tour right now with a band called the breed. but the fucker is only doing europe. waaaaaaaaa!!!!--
--I agree, Ted's the most overrated. But he's only overrated because he's louder'n everyone else-- And his guitar playing is loud, too.
--Does it show?-- Just a tad.
--Damn. I don't know how I could have forgotten Ritchie Blackmore. Deep Purple was my favorite band for about 30 years.-- Every time I hear about Ritchie Blackmore, the first thing that pops in my head is how much Eddie Van Halen would bad mouth him. Anybody out there know why?
--#35 by ParaTed2k Sunday, October 09, 2005 -- Your whole post deserves an insightful, Ted. --People forget that Blues and Rock N Roll were basically invented for those who aren't "great" at an instrument.-- It's the same reason I sing rock and roll.
---robert johnson 'magic' sam maghett roy buchannan reverend gary davis mississipi john hurt wes montgomery les paul george harrison guitar slim sam 'lightnin' hopkins pete glover's friend--- I see you DO like blues guitarist. Roy Buchannan is another underrated guitarists. I only have one from Wes Montgomery,"The Incredible Jazz Guitar" one. Who's Pete Glover's friend? --buddy bb king (who
--Me, and I'm not even that good. But I sure do like me. In fact, I'm so not good at guitar that I switched to bass. I can play anything else, but I can't bar chord for crap either. B.B. King rocks. (although I do agree, I like John Lee Hooker better.-- At the bar, where I play poker tournaments at, has one of those internet jukeboxes and every week I play a lot of blues. I heard one guy say to another guy,"Who is this?" when John Lee Hooker's
Chris aka uDigItTheMost July 24th
--I like Phil Keaggy.-- The first I heard of Phil Keaggy was in a urban legend. According to legend, during a Tonight Show appearance, when asked who was the greatest guitarist ever Jimi Hendrix responded it was Phil Keaggy. It trurns out the rumor was false. Though during The Dick Cavett Show, Jimi did praise a pre-ZZ Top Billy Gibbons, then an unknown guitarist with a group named Moving Sidewalks. --And my Uncle Chris Jammin' with him is so fun, because no matter w
--... orange you just the funny one!-- And so are you. How the guy in your picture is orange, well I was orange once. My rear wasn't orange like him but the front was orange. Yes, I woke up one morning and my front part was orange. I said to myself,"What is going on!!!" then I remembered I was eating Cheetos the night before. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Laugh.gif" border=0 A
--Jimi Hendrix, Ted Nugent, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Billy Gibbons... Gee- there's really no place to stop!-- ZZ Top kicks ass in concert. I have never been disappointed at one of their shows.
--Given an instrumental by him, or a collaboration(I bought all the early Santana Albums! My Ex stole them from me), I would go with his instrumental. I like many of the other guitarist, but he just gets to me like no others can.-- What's with the ex stealing your collection? I know how you feel though I had 2 German bootleg albums of Hendrix that an ex stole. One of the albums had a 26 minute version of Red House, too. I want that
--Paco DeLuca. If you ever get the chance to listen to Dimeola, DeLuca and Laughlin live at the Fillmore you will not be disappointed. Possibly some of the BEST flamenco-style guitar I have ever heard.-- Great choice. I forgot all about them. "Friday Night in San Francisco" ---Charlie Hunter. Link My friend introduced me to him years ago, and...absolutely amazing. His album 'Duo' is fairly simple, but you have to admire a person who
--Most people do not even know stevie vai I am suprised you do.-- Is he still around? Is he playing with anyone? Touring solo or with a group? He's too talented to have stopped. --If you liked the mothers, you may want to check these guys out.-- Thanks for the link, Mod. Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water just popped in my head. Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a
Knowing the person you are talking about I'm willing to make a huge sacrifice for you. I will go with him every time he goes to a strip club. Not because I want to look hot naked women (especially that short brunette hispanic one) but because I care enough about you to make sure, the husband of someone you care about very much, behaves himself. Believe me I would not like it. He goes to the strip club over by the base, and you know I like the one over by our house better, so I won't en
Funny story. He was right, too, I took my clothes off and stood on my head and you DON'T need underwear to do it. When my nephew was been potty trained he would always seem to need to go whenever someone else was in the bathroom. His mother would tell me him to go in a styrofoam cup. One day, when he was 3 years old, he had to go real bad, but again someone was in the bathroom so my nephew found the first cup he saw and pee in it. It was his b
--Stevie Ray Vaughn Frank Zappa Jimi Hendrix-- When I was a freshman in high school, the sister of my best friend gave me "Hot Rats" and "Roxy & Elsewhere" for Christmas. I became an instant fan. Until then I didn't even know The Mothers of Invention. What a great gift. --Buddy Guy Jeff Beck Johnny Winter-- Johnny Winter played alot of clubs in my hometown. My best friend and I went to go see him and he put o
--My Son.-- Great pick. Is your son pretty good? I did say your "favorite", so well done. I didn't even think of someone I actually knew. A good friend of mine is a fairly good guitarist. You should hear me sing some classic rock songs over his house just fooling around. Wait a minute, maybe you SHOULDN'T hear me, unless you're a masochist.
--hendrix, steve vai santana-- Good choices. I seen Steve Vai in concert when he was playing with David Lee Roth. Good live performer. Wasn't he one of Joe Satriani's students?
--Hmm...Kurt was good, but if you ever look at any of the tabulature for his songs you'll see just how simple a LOT of it is. Not ALL of it, but a fair old chunk of it.-- A old friend's father was in a tejano band. One day he bet his son that he could play anything in his son's collection from just listening to the CD. He played Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Metallica like he been playing them all his life. Then he commented,"Most rock songs ar
--Stevie Ray Vaughan Hendrix Joe Satriani-- Joe Satriani is very well technically. Smooth player. Does he still teach at Jilliard? I always wanted to see him in concert.
--I like that Mexican Carlos Santana. (He has his own unique style)-- And he's playing as great as ever. His instrumental albums are very underrated. --T-Bone Walker (Started it all electric, Clapton sounds alot like him)-- Another super blues guitarist not enough people know about. It's funny how Europeans seem to know more about American blues artists than Americans do.
--Jimi Hendrix Randy Rhoades Criss Oliva-- I was so close to adding Randy Rhodes on my choices. If he wouldn't have died so young he would've done some amazing work. As great as he was, I liked his modesty about it. --Jeff Beck Eric Johnson Stanley Jordan-- As well known as Jeff Beck is, there's still alot of people who don't realize how good of a guitarist he really is. You should hear my version of Eric Johnson's Cliffs of White Dover. It's the
--I really love Kurt Cobain, too, and I like Clapton when he was with Cream.-- I also liked Cream. Did you see any of their reunion shows? I think the DVD is out already.
