Topic: 15 Great Guitar Players

Sit back, relax and give this a listen.  I watched it, hoping my name would magically appear on this list, but was shocked to  not see it there.  Oh well, perhaps if it were 16 Great Guitar Players.  Hmmm?

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: 15 Great Guitar Players

That is an impressive bunch but if the list were mine I would include in no particular order cause there are a lots and lots of good pickers out there.

Tony Rice
Monte Montegomery
Merle Travis
Doc Watson
Robert Johnson
Leo Kottke
Eric Clapton
Jerry Reed

I don't think any one guy is better than others , these guys make me sit up and take notice and everyone has their favorites. I think fellas like Merle Travis, Doc Watson and Chet Atkins  lead the way for alot of the great talent that's here today.

I'm workin hard too Benson but I don't think I have enuff time left in this go round smile

Later, Wayne P

Re: 15 Great Guitar Players

The guys in the video aren't that great. Any guitar player with 4 hands can do that stuff. I'm sure it's really easy for #13, he's got 8 fingers on his left hand. I kinda think that's cheating. Funny, you would think that their bionic hand transplants would have made the news headlines. HA!

Really tho, how in the world do these guys even get the notion that they can play like that? At what point in their guitar career do they think, "let me try this and see what it sounds like". 

Can they do that on any guitar or just the ones they keep warm in their beds at night?
