Judging from threads I've read there are quite a few axe slingers on this forum. How about a shout out for your favorite axeman and/or who you think is the best?
I'm thinking a lighter thread than all the political B.S. would be nice so list away.
1. Jimi: I have to say he is the best--consumate musician and innovator even if he couldn't really sing.
2. SRV: My fave and the only reason I put him just a skosh behind Hendrix is that Jimi was the pioneer and you can hear him in Stevie's playing.
3. Henry Garza: A vastly underrated and underappreciated guitarist (Los Lonely Boys). He and his brothers are TIGHT and Garza has assloads of tone.
In no particular order...
Mark Knopfler Tony Iommi David Gilmour Keb' Mo' Santana Angus Young Eddie Van Halen (actually better rhythm than lead, IMO)
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
Gotta have Clapton in there. Alvin Lee was a very good picker with TYA.
