Greatest Guitarists - Yesterday & Today
- Thread starter homeless mind
- Start date
John Frusciante

Appreciate your friends
Bass guitarStanley Clarke
Lead Guitar D.Zappa This young man is 20 times better than one of the other mentioned.
All Time Eric Clapton has to be it. I am right, keep that in mind for future reference.
Thank you homeless mind, good thread. I agree with all but one of the previous choices.
In all fairness to guitar players- I do not like Country and Western unless I'm drinking- Roy Clark is one of the best.

From country perhaps a bit of southern...worth a listen to those who enjoy. The second has a quiet metal twist to it...
One is simple; one is gone with tuesday...
Thanks for the props, GKHL.
N Joy.
And for those who want some breeze:
Bill Frisell
Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. I know they're two people, but they play so well together, I just can't separate them.
Bo Diddley

if only for Definitely Maybe but a whole lot more as well.
My bro across the pond is awesome, but I humbly offer another alternative. And those across the pond were very good to him...
Here's why:
JIMI at perhaps his very finest (check out the intro):

although he's not my favourite, Andy Summers' guitar work on Bring on the Night is among my favourite guitar moments. especially his second solo, that starts at the 3:17 mark and plays out. not groundbreaking, but really affects me.
LickTheStar
Sad Flower in the Sand
Leadbelly.
For more of the Californication folks, here is what methinks may be you're biggest secret. Kick my ass and tell me it's not, but man, these guys jam. Incredible. I think the tube video has been viewed by about 500 peeps. That's wrong. When I did some work with D'Addario guitar strings, one of the boys gave me a bootleg of their shit. Still have it; and listen to it like it's from a pulpit.
Tell me if u dig it...

I'm still digging. And diggin' it. Keith Richards gettin' bluesy. Love In Vain, '69 (?). Nice.
Now, gimme some shelter '72 (?):
Awesome...
And now, it's time to thrill you with some BB (deserves its own space, but wtf) Interesting story; I once painted Lucille, and gave it away to someone for free; didn't even know her; hope BB approves:
for the BB devotees, another V:

ok, ROC has got me thinking about jazz guitarists some more.
one of my favourites and sorely overlooked, Billy Bauer. especially anything with Lenny Tristano, also sorely overlooked.

I'm ashamed of myself that I forgot to mention Leo Kottke. It must be the extra strings.
Chronic has some great picks. Mjp has got to be kidding with at least one of his. Maybe.....who knows.
But is all guitar, although he does sing which he describes as goose farts on a muggy day.

No way. I can defend every one of those. I define "great" my way, and I understand that most everyone on earth has other definitions. Some people enjoy seeing the fruits of millions of hours of practice. I don't happen to be one of them. There is no soul in perfection. And certainly none in the pursuit of perfection.
I see no difference between Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, The New York Dolls, Peter Tosh and Husker Du. They are one side of the coin. People who want to be somehow intellectually challenged by their music are the other. Same coin. I just prefer when the awkward, pimply, sometimes unpleasant living, breathing side comes up.
A lot of people like some really crappy music (and writing and film and theater and art) because they don't understand it, and they think, "If I don't understand this, it must be really profound!" They mistakenly think that the people making that incomprehensible artlike mess know something they don't.
I'm not necessarily talking about the musicians mentioned here or the people who like them, that's just a general observation from 35 years spent neck deep in music and art.
But you know, music is music. It's subjective. Frank Zappa and Abba are both stuck with the same 12 notes.
