I guess the late sixties/early seventies goes too far back for this thread,,,but go download somethin from "Ten Years After, Recorded Live". A compilation of stuff from live shows around europe at that time with Alvin Lee on guitar, and Rick Lee (no relation I'm told) on drums. See if some of that don't make the hair on the back of yer neck stand up.

Nobody mentioned Al DiMeola?! The man is a bloody god if i have ever seen one. Him, Ry Cooder, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai... All sold their souls or something. Anybody like the old Weather Report album (s) with Jaco Pastorius on bass, Chick Corea on keyboard and DiMeola playing guitar? Its awesome... BTW, i'm only 17yrs old!

Hey Paul C. 944,
Brian Setzer?? You bet your ***. Seen him, loved his playing. All the guys that play with a really doctored sound are ok but Setzer is clean and blazingly fast.

I'm not a guitarist, so maybe I'll get stones thrown at me for saying this(?), but I don't BELIEVE anyone's mentioned Page yet, have they? Zeppelin's always been a favorite of mine. Also, speaking of Satriani- I liked him a little, around the time of "Surfing W/The Alien," and actually saw him live, backstage, at the Cow Palace in SF on one of my 21st birthdays. That was pretty cool for a guy from Billhilly country (TN)- BTW, Satriani actually opened for Steve Miller, whom I wasn't all THAT into, but it was a great concert nonetheless- Satriani did an INCREDIBLE version of "Echo" (I believe) and ended up in an incredible melody that was reminiscent of a fairly phsychedelic, live Santana solo. I would LOVE to find a bootleg of that concert, if for no other reason than that one song alone- ideas anyone???

Boy, times have changed. Nobody has mentioned Eric Clapton. I'm not that fond of himm myself but I remember people in the 80's who literally got into fistfights defending his title to 'greatest guitarist ever'.

That's slow hand, as I put it.. He had a Canadian dad, a soldier who knocked up his mum during the war. Strangely his half sister, unknown to Eric until later, was also a heroin addict, but in Vancouver.
I think she may have been lemon yellow's mother.
