Also like the Blues or Robert Cray, and the Jazz of George Benson

But, here's the secret about the guitar: It's defiant. It will never let you conquer it. The more that you get involved with it, the more you realize how little you know.

Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time

The obvious and well-known:
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Eric Clapton
3. Jimmy Page
...and not so well known:
4. John Fahey
5. Django Reinhardt
...do we have to be limited to 5?!
because I'd definitely add Jorma Kaukonen, Leo Kottke, and the immortal Chet Atkins!

Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time

Gosh, only 5? big_smile

In no particular order:

1. James Burton
2. Chet Atkins
3. Les Paul
4. Robert Johnson
5. George Friend

I also really enjoy Scotty Moore's work, especially in his Sun Records days with Elvis smile  I'm also a big fan of Dick Dale and Link Wray due to their innovations in the early days.  In modern times, I never tire of Brian Setzer or Jim of Reverend Horton Heat.

I'm actually pretty ecclectic in what I like...I appreciate Slash, Dimebag, etc. from that era of playing. 

I'm not a purist in my tastes LOL...I prefer the 1950's rockabilly sound with lots of echo, tremolo, and slapback, but because I'm a music lover, I love so much of it ALL smile

Love this thread!

Blessings,

Just as a point of history, Les Paul innovated the solid body electric, but people had been mucking about with electric amplification using pickups for a couple of years before that.  A dude named Beucheau (?) actually has the original patent (1935) for that.

The more you know!  smile

Someday we'll win this thing...
