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.

Stupidity has no average...

Gotta have Clapton in there. Alvin Lee was a very good picker with TYA.

SRV all the way. Just feel he put more soul into it than Jimi.

A new kid on the block is Shawn Starski, keep an eye on him. Played with Jason Ricci, a very talented harmonica player.

Other notables are Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lang.

+1 on SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, Gilmour.

Don't forget Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Al DeMeola... Just too many for me to have a fave...

Have never seen Eric Clapton in concert, but people tell me
that it seems like the music comes from inside of him.

No one has said Beck or Satriani

Impossible to pick just one, or even a dozen for that matter.

Looking back Beck is there.

Mayer gets a mention but often too goofy to watch.
