[quote name='Marcus' post='401735' date='Feb 6 2009, 07:52 AM']I'd only "choose" to listen to one Guitarist...... Frank Zappa (although to merely pidgeon0hole hims as a Guitarist wouldn't do the man justice) I only tolerate other guitarists ;)[/quote]

I love Zappa as well. Saw him a few times and he was great each time, one gig he had some young 'second' guitarist with him called Steve Vai, seemed very good at the time - wonder what happened to him. . .


The Zappa plays Zappa gigs were great as well. Really spooky to watch the big screen showing Frank playing the lead guitar but with a live band synched up to him. Also to hear Dweezil playing note for note perfect copy of some of the original parts.

Keith Richard for his great chops, ditto Chuck Berry.
Clapton when he's on form.
Freddie King.
Mike Campbell with Tom Petty - masterful.
Larry Carlton
Johnny Marr
Steve Cropper
Dave Grissom
James Honeyman Scott (Pretenders)
Nils Lofgren

Anybody seen Bobby Bandiera play? He deps with Bon Jovi on their tours,but is the mainstay of Southside Johnny
and the Asbury Jukes. Great player of so many styles,ace tone and a fine singer too!

Spooky, I was just about to suggest Morse - the biggest hands in Christendom.

Ah, if you want big hands, check out jazz guitarist Tal Farlow. Very stylish player. I saw him a couple of times in the 80's when he was on tour with vibes player Red Norvo. (He is/was also an accomplished sign-writer!).

Saw him play with Level 42 at the back end of the eighties.....he didn't look well at all then.

Tom Morello - Yet again, insane stuff! I do like his Nightwatchman stuff a fair bit too!
