Topic: The Aging of Great Guitarists
A couple of comments made about Joe Cocker got me thinking about some of my favorite guitarists all getting on as well. Here are ten favorites, and how old they are now:
Steve Howe (age 67)
Ritchie Blackmore (age 69)
Steve Hackett (age 64)
Martin Barre (age 68)
Jimmy Page (age 70)
Alex Lifeson (age 61)
David Gilmour (age 68)
Mark Knopfler (age 65)
Eric Clapton (age 69)
Brian May (age 67)
I'm not saying these are the best guitarists, but just guys that have inspired me for years to practice hard, expand my thinking, and to continually improve. And now they're all collecting Old Age Pension!
