Best Guitarists Evah!!!

Molti di questi sono stati, in effetti, menzionati...da me! Sfortunatamente è noioso scorrere il thread per controllare.

Sono completamente d'accordo che dobbiamo guardare ad alcuni dei grandi dello studio che hanno sviluppato suoni unici come Graydon e Landau. Aggiungerei Hugh McCracken ("Hey Nineteen", se volete la sua canzone distintiva degli Steely Dan) e Steve Khan ("My Rival") a quella lista. Molte persone hanno sottolineato David Gilmour come qualcuno che suona con sentimento (come la Jacqueline Du Pré della chitarra). Se vi piace, date un'occhiata al lavoro solista di Landau e Khan.

E se parliamo di suoni unici, date un'occhiata a Lionel Lueke.

Pat Metheny?
 
Recently I’ve been thinking that Jaco Pastorius was the most impressive instrumentalist ever. Dude was insanely musical, technically brilliant, created a whole new sound, and adapted to and enhanced many different styles of music.

His work with Weather Report and Joni Mitchell was awesome. He was, however, quite a tortured soul.

I read in one of Joni's biographies that Brecker didn't want him on tour for Shadows & Light. Joni/Jaco prevailed, and one of my favorite EVER musical competitive collaborations ensued. It can be easy to read something into the Brecker solo and Jaco accompaniment here. Who knows, but it IS extraordinary. Exceptional talents going at it really hard.

Hummm…I’m not so sure about that. Ok Stevie did (and could at the drop of a hat) throw Hendrixisms around, and also seemingly liked the same Tailor! But he was very much more Blues based than Hendrix, Hendrix near invented a genre. Stevie reinvigorated a fading genre (guitar based blues). You are right that many an act stood on the shoulders of Hendrix but Stevie spent more time on the shoulders of the kings/alberts etc

I guess I'll through one of my blues references into the hat at this point (and another one that was quite innovative, although it being Blues will likely be a stretch for some [be sure & watch it at least until the sax gets cranked up {the intro might be a minute or two long for some]}):
 
Salvatore Massaro, born 1902 in Pennsylvania State, is credited with taking guitar playing into new ways of jazz musicianship. Dead at30 years of age he played and recorded since 1923 with many early jazz greats garnering renown as "the father of jazz guitar". He decided to change his name to Eddie Lang and am adding my Eddie Lang playlist for those interested.

Hell yes to Wes! Then George Benson did some great stuff, but then wasted trying to go all commercial as a singer with unbearable schmaltzy ballads at times... Other than "Give me the Night"...

Let's just say here are a few I like:

Kazumi Watababe (stylistic range)

Wow. It's rare to find someone who has even heard of Kazumi. Well done. I've been a fan since the early 80s.

Thanks for posting this. I'd never heard him until no. Superb!

It's worthwhile checking out Phil Upchurch. Someone told me that he taught George Benson how to play guitar; not sure if this is true, but his guitar has a lovely tone.
 
How Emily Remler handled such a big guitar before dying at age 32 was pure talent. She'd have been 65 years old come mid-September so here's my Remler sample playlist. Before passing away she also left instructional techniques for aspiring guitar players.
