Five Favorite Guitarists

[Michael Rife]

Some of mine are A-listers:

1) Jimi Hendrix

2) Stephen Stills

3) Stevie Ray Vaughn

4) Eric Clapton

5) A change-up with Leo Kottke.  Although Santana, Page, Beck, and others could be there.

Most underrated:  Glen Campbell and Prince. Also in his early days James Taylor could make the acoustic hum a little.  He had a few instrumentals in his early albums and they were very good.

Mike

[Bill Isenberg]

Ok so you all know mine…LOL..

Ronnie Wood

Keith Richard

Glen Campbell

Steve Miller

And yes…Mona and Lisa…. I am being honest, they both are fabulous on the guitar. They give all the others a run for their money.

Hi Thomas…this topic is similar to the female/ male guitarists postings already on here, but I like how you made yours more specific.?!.lol..,though I could easily rattle off 10-20 of my faves ,  instead of just 5 but for tge sole purpose  for this particular  topic thread, and for tonight , I’ll pick the top 5 that come to mind, Mona and Lisa are already a given so they’re  in a separate special place …

1) Vince Gill

2) Eric Clapton

3) George Harrison

4) Mother Maybelle Carter

5) Al Connelly

 

As I say,  these are the 5 for tonight but I could continue on to  10-20 more….lol….?

Hi Joe, I’m glad you enjoyed it.  Watching this video, I couldn’t help notice how so many in this top 10 list died much too young in their prime, or maybe even before their full potential was realized.  Such a shame.

[Joseph Manzi]

Yes Jung, It one of lives mysteries. I’m sure you do like I do. Wonder what else these great artist  could have made musically.

Listen did you see the 20/20 show ABC did on John Lennon

Also I posted on your thread an interview of John Lennon sister Julia talking about John.

I like it. I would not say it was great but it was entertaining. Check it out on your Sean Lennon & Paul.

Well my friend bed time for me. Have a good one.
