Agreed..........I've seen him many times but the shows are way too clinical. Never a variation, songs right off the albums. |

Oh yeah! definitely, he just plugs in and plays, no fancy set up. I saw him once from the 3rd row, what a show.
Here is someone you may not know becasue he became a houshold name by making cheesy crappy dance stuff.....George Benson, he an incredible jazz guitatist, one of my all time favorites. |

People dont read Rolling Stone for the music, people read Rolling Stone because they dont know what to wear!! Satriani said this once and its true. Unless you really think Jack White is a better guitarist than EVH, Randy Rhoads, and Angus Young, then to each his own.

Oddly enough (and this is not Homerism) I don't see Scholz / Goudreau - from the band Boston up there. Mainstream probably, but in the late 70s early 80s it was pretty good...
They also sounded phenominal in concert (sometimes rifficuled that they sounded too much like the album when actually live)...
Gilmour should be higher on that list  |

My personal favorite is a local musician and a friend of mine.
His name is Gerry Miller, and plays with a number of bands.
The main bands are The Spurs and The Coachmen, which play coutry swing and honky-tonk.
He is also proficient with the 12 string mandolin, so you can only imagine how fast he can play. If I ever tried to play anything like him, my fingers would snap off.
Every one of my friends, upon seeing and hearing these bands play, are astounded at the speed and grace that this man can play.
I know that some are saying "Country ain't real music!", but these guys aren't playing your traditional country fare, but mostly drinking and truck driving songs.

Mark Knopfler is awesome and way under rated!!!
Lindsey B#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&gham from Fleetwood Mac is way under rated!!!
Robert Cray is a great guitar player in my opinion....I am a fan but live he is always a disappointment! Just going through the motions!
I saw the Cray/John Hiatt show at the South Shore Music Circus 2 seasons ago and I went to see Robert Cray.......John Hiatt stole the show as the lead act he set the place on fire and had the crowd going nuts and then Cray came out and everyone fell asleep!!! Cray needs a horn section with him which I have never seen him tour with the 6 times I have seen him....it leaves a huge void in his sound!
John Hiatt won me over big time....that was one of the best performances I have ever seen and I have seen SRV about 7 times, Clapton about 8 times, BB King, Van Halen, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Mark Knopfler with Clapton, Jeff Beck with SRV......John Hiatt was just awesome!!! 
Buddy Guy was awesome when I saw him too!!! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

what about buckethead? not really for the playing, but the guy wears a damn bucket on his head!
Seriously though, for more modern guitarists (not from the "classic rock days)
Slash from Guns and Roses and now Velvet Revovler is just incredible in my opinion.

Man, you guys need to grow up!  The "how many notes per second" thing is so boring. We have a GREAT guitarist right here in New England who can play rock, jazz, swing and especially BLUES better than just about anyone else: Duke Robillaird. If you've never seen him, get out there and do it! Class, style, soul - and he doesn't need to hide behind a distortion box to do it! Do yourself a favor and hear Duke. |

"How many notes a second"........if that is how anyone is judgeing a guitar players talent they might want to find another interest!  I will take one long and properly bent SRV or Clapton note infused with emotion, feeling and commitment than 1 million of any "speed metal pretenders" notes any day of the week!  |

Listen to Iron Maiden BF.Not speed metal by any means but Dave Murray,Adrian Smith and Janick Gers make most of the "Greats" look not so great. |

John Lennon, it came to him easy. And George Harrison. Lennon would say do it like this when Harrison, a great guitarist himself, struggled. James Taylor, pick up an album and just listen to his work. Clean.

Who ever made that top 100 list is quite an idiot in my opinion. I have seen tons of shows in my day. For Eddie V to be # 70 come on. I have never seen any body play like that dude. Steve Vie and Yngwie Malmsteen would play most of the others right off stage.
