What a great thread - gonna be a lot of revisits to catch up on excellent suggestions. And I forgot Albert King was lefthanded.
+1 to the posters who brought up Alvin Lee, Clapton's "Crossroads", Duane, Steve Howe and Kottke. The Jimis Page and Hendrix... I dunno, a lot of ability there but too sloppy for my taste. When my jug band wanted to get on my violin playing they'd start telling me I was sounding like Jimmy Page.
Not enough recognition for Dave Gilmour though-- only saw Comfortably Numb cited, which has always left me in that very state, musically. I much prefer Free Four and, even though overplayed, Time...
So much for Rock; but for sheer string pyrotechnics it's hard to beat Roy Smeck's Laughing Rag (OK it's an Octachorda but I didn't see an Octachorda solo thread):
Interesting to remember since it's 1928 he had to do it live in one take. I think he rehearsed it for something like two months in order to play it.
I was referring to Martin Barre, not Ian Anderson.He's a flautist.
Good stuff though

I saw Tull 4 times and every concert was a good one.hehehe I thought I did way way back in this thread.
I'm a Tull freak from way back. Give me Ian or give me no one. I love Them. Boy that doesnt sound right does it?
My first ex husband was a flautist. It doesnt come off well does it. Hey it's your problem because when you work it out with all my stories about Tim Weisberg does it?

You just gave me an idea for another thread.
How does this sound?
The "Master Showman Thread", for those certain
performers who really knew how to "bring it!"
For example:
And one of my all-time favorites, Peter Wolf.
