adonirum Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Anyone got any thoughts on Leslie West (of Mountain). Mentioned this on another thread, but he produces such a sweet fantastic tone from his guitar, especially on tracks such as Theme from an Imaginary Western and One Last Cold Kiss ( what great lyrics that track contains for a rock song!), and he's still going strong despite having a leg amputated a couple of years back and the list of other great guitarists that appear on his recordings and in concert with him goes on to this day.

nashoi Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Another vote for Jeff Beck, Peter Green and lately I've been listening to Joe Bonamassa. What about Ritchie Blackmore? Think of all the big hair rock he helped inspire, where would we be without that?

healey Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Rush aren't everyone's cup of tea (not even always mine thanks to their occassionally dire lyrics), but Alex Lifeson and bassist Geedy Lee are fantastic players.Tom Morello was a standout in the 90s. Fredrick Thordendal and Martin Hagstrom of Meshuggah are also great, but their music isn't for everyone!Quite hard to think of any new stars in our current era as rock seems to be in retreat at the moment.

adonirum Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Think randombloke's a Thin Lizzy fan, Robertson, Gorham, Bell and Moore!!! Not that I disagree with it, especially comments about the Still Got the Blues Tour. Should have titled this thread "great guitarists" rather than "greatest", what with so many different styles being referred to. What about Robin Trower, unkindly perhaps referred to as "the white Jimi Hendrix" in the early 70's, with the style of playing he adopted around that time. What a contrast to his time in Procol Harum !!

GroveLaneMan Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For me ? Rory Gallagher . Just for his bluesy genius ! He could play anything ! Bit Stevie Ray Vaughan for pure technical skill and Jonny Greenwood , who is the most emotional guitarist I've ever seen ! Interestingly he describes himself as a " clumsy " guitarist !!!!!

tfwsoll Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 On the acoustic side...and another J...I'd add John Fahey. I saw him back in the day but sadly he was incredibly pissed and barely played a full tune. He still managed a few flashes of genius though.
