    @Jett129

    You really got me thinking about guitarists with your last post. I love EVH and think he’s one of the greatest guitar players of all time. But my list of favorites is more a stylistic thing and not necessarily a technical proficiency thing. Here are my top ten (no order):

    SRV
    Tommy Emmanuel
    Tony Rice
    Keith Richards
    Jimmy Page
    Julien Lage
    George Harrison
    Blake Mills
    Ry Cooder
    Mark Knophler

    Honorable Mention
    Hendrix
    Clapton
    EVH
    Billy Strings

      For sure he’s in the top five. Gotta be IMHO just because of his impact on how the guitar is played. Hugely innovative and influential so that’s gotta qualify him for a pretty high spot on the list. I personally think his rhythm playing is seriously underrated.

        I'm not a big Van Halen guy, but I do of course think he was a hugely important guitarist.

        SKT and I def have some crossover — I'm a huge fan of Ry Cooder, and love Blake Mills and Mark Knopfler.

        Some other faves that come immediately to mind (I'm sure there are countless others I'll wanna add):

        Neil Young
        Mike Campbell
        Bill Frisell
        Aarto Lindsay
        Marc Ribot
        Jonny Greenwood
        Hubert Sumlin
        Prince
        Grant Green
        Andy Gill
        Graham Coxon
        Jason Isbell

        I could talk about guitars and guitarists forever haha… careful getting me started

            @Jett129 yes SIR! His playing sounds so springy and electric to me, really cuts.

              Saw Hubert Sumlin a couple of times with the Allman Bros,and they would usually do 44 Blues,but by that time he could barely play. There was a great tribute concert called Howlin for Hubert,a lot which can be found on YouTube. Speaking of the Allman Bros, Duane Allman would be in my top 5 or 10. Feel like he’s been forgotten.

                Loved 300 Pounds of Joy. What a great groove.

                  Duane would be on my list. Dickey too. My dad’s an Allmans nut, so I was raised on that stuff — their first album is my fave, particularly love the Beginnings mix. Don’t Want You No More into It’s Not My Cross to Bear is one of my favorite musical performances, ever. Unbelievably good.

                    Years ago I made friends with one of the tapers at The Beacon Theater,and have tons of outrageous quality tapes from the shows. If you’d like I’d be happy to send you some.

                        Probably between 2006 and 2012.

                            Oh man I'm sure I'd love to check some of those out sometime. I wonder if any of them have Jack Pearson on them — I'm not sure when exactly he played with them, but it was for a short stint, might've been in the 90s, even. Anyway, he's insanely good, really one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. If you've ever seen that Gregg Allman tribute concert that airs on AXS sometimes, Jack's his band leader. Really understated looking guy, playing a cheap Fender Squier and blowing everyone else off the stage.

                              These all have Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes,along with the occasional special guest. Message me your info and I'll send you a couple next week.

                                Derek Trucks is easily in my top 5 favorite living guitarists. I really love Tedeschi Trucks Band and think they’re among the best live acts out there. That said, I do miss Derek Trucks Band and its more jazzy and world music orientation. They would not be quite the same without Yonrico Scott and Kofi Burbridge (both huge losses for music) should they ever reunite.

                                I do have a poster signed by TTB, The Wood Brothers, and Hot Tuna:

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Other than the Allman Bros,the only other band I liked Derek with ,is when he played with Eric Clapton. I really wanted to like TTB,but I just can't get into them.

                                    Speaking of Derek and Eric, I've seen TTB do a great cover of "Anyday." Derek really is an insane player. His understanding of slide is mind-boggling to me.

                                      Derek only 14 yrs old in this video. Said he played slide because it didn’t hurt his fingers.

                                        Came across this picture of Eric Clapton talking to his guitar roadie,back in 1968,before their farewell concert at Royal Albert Hall. All he needed was a Vox Wah-Wah, and 2 Marshall stacks.

                                          Decided I wanted something with more strings so have got one of these on the way
                                          Treating it as a project guitar, the plan being to chuck a set of sperzel machineheads, tusk nut and bareknuckle polymaths on it, and get a really thorough set up done. Then I’ll be able to play Meshuggah to my heart’s content
