Great Guitarists

[StreetCowboy]

What'd'ye reckon?
Have you ever walked in to a pub and ordered fries for the band because they sounded like they were Duane Eddy?

Or Chet Atkins?

Or Hank Marvin?

Seems like a bit of a non sequitor.

Is it after midnight?

 

I'd kind of hoped (poor grammar - but that's what old people had to cope with...) that people would have offered up their favourite guitarists.  Maybe I've noted them all. 

 

It's only fair to warn you that Youtube has offered me The Nolans next up.

Johnny Marr from the Smiths is pretty good. Does a very good cover version of one of their own songs aswell

I've got friends, relatives and acquaintances that will be after my life for this, but that is dross - its (edit: almost) worse than the Gallachers. 

 

To suggest that this was comparable to Bruce Dickinson -- who did not make my suggested top three -Well - I don't know what to say.  It's not exactly a Tony Lomi riff.
