Lurker Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Slash is/was great!!!!! David Gilmour too though I think Knofler beats them both. Never been a fan of Jimmy Hendrix although Clapton does manage to churn some good numbers from time to time. Also whoever played the guitar in Hotel California deserves a big round of applause.

Donny Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 For you, Lurker. Mark Knopfler is Eric Clapton's guest for a Layla duet. It's the unplugged version - although Mark is plugged. :wink_smile: _ae2uidckqE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX_1138 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Mine - ) 1. David Gilmour - Pink Floyd 2. Mark Knofler - Dire Straits 3. Ritchie Blackmore - Deep Purple 4. Slash - GNR And yes and I don't give a sh.it about Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton that self absorbed meglomaniac does not deserve respect for what he did with Deep Purple, Rainbow and the million other bands he formed and later broke.

Donny Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Chet Atkins. Even as far back as the mid 50s, Chet was known as 'Mr Guitar'. Humoresque. 8O2sMZGjCjY Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins CGP (June 20, 1924 – June 30, 2001) was an influential guitarist and record producer. His picking style, inspired by Merle Travis, Django Reinhardt, George Barnes and Les Paul, brought him admirers both within and outside the country scene. Atkins produced records for Eddy Arnold, Don Gibson, Jim Reeves, Jerry Reed, Connie Smith, and Waylon Jennings. He created, along with Owen Bradley, the smoother country music style known as the Nashville sound, which expanded country music's appeal to include adult pop music fans as well. Atkins received numerous awards, including eleven Grammy Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993), and nine Country Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year awards. While he did more performing in the 1990s his health grew frail as the cancer returned and worsened. He died on June 30, 2001 at his home in Nashville. Atkins was quoted many times throughout his career, and of his own legacy he once said: “Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me." More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chet_Atkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 More Chet. Not hard to see why Tommy Emmanuel and Mark Knopfler love this bloke's work. Dark Eyes - from about 50 years ago. 25RvDYU0qEc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludhianvi Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Rabbi Shergill. Does he qualify as a guitarist?:D pTxZy32Fv_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well, he certainly plays guitar in the clip. Is he your favourite guitarist ? As the song says: "I know not who I am" so probably no use emailing him. :wink_smile: A rather mesmeric song, Ludhianvi. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
