Zakk Wylde's top 11 guitarists.

[the other mike]

Jimmy Page at #1 is a good pick, and I would have Zakk on my list, but Paul Gilbert instead of Steve Vai and I would have Joe Satriani in there somewhere. It's a pretty good list otherwise.

It's great that he mentioned Alan Holdsworth but he probably could have had some honorable mentions like Ritchie Blackmore, Steve Howe and David Gilmour.

Page had a great band to help carry him - JB and JPJ were very good at filling in when
needed.....

To each their own, but in my opinion, any top 10 list that leaves out SRV is flawed.

Or Chet Atkins, Roy Clark..Charo, even.



I always liked B.B. since I was a little kid when I first heard him on The Tonight Show.

Glenn Campbell ....also at least 3 Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarists.

 

[The Duke]

Not sure if I would put my name on songs like "Mr. Tinker Train" and "No More Tears".

Glenn Campbell?

You know of something that illustrates his guitar proficiency?

Here's a treat for ya.

 

[The Duke]

Here's a treat for ya.

I did NOT know that he could really play.

He's a lil sloppy compared to Roy, but who isn't?

I saw him at Dollywood in the 80s I guess it was.....He put on one hell of a show.

They had a power outage the evening before when Charlie Daniels was slated to play so to honor his commitment he stayed and played after Glen Campbell so we got a two-fer.

Daniels invited Campbell out and they play together for a bit.....It was great!

This is interesting:

 

[The Duke]

Zappa was a musical genius, not my favorite at all, but there's no denying that he was. Prince and Freddy Mercury, too.

Whereas Frank Marino was a very good guitar player, Zappa was a musical genius.

I'd still rather hear Frank Marino, does that make sense?

Jones did most of the arrangements on LZ tunes but Plant & Page screwed him royally in the end. That creep Page got most of the credit for Zep's success but it should have gone to Jones.

Either way imho they sucked to high heaven after their first two LP's.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Joe Walsh and Keith Richards have great riffs

 

[The Duke]

How did I not know that Glen Campbell was as good as he was?

 

[The Duke]

Joe Walsh and Keith Richards have great riffs

Well yeah.

 

[Clipper]

There's this guitarist, his name is Duane Allman...........

I actually just learned how to play Back in Black this year.... and believe it or not it's not as easy as it sounds especially dancing on one foot wearing shorts. ( Moscow 1991 playing to a million Russians)
