Ed (slide) and Gary's (lead) guitar work in this one is exceptional.. Ed's outro is chilling...

Another under appreciated guitar genius.. SRV once said "Jeff is the only guitarist I'm intimidated by"... that says it all..

Surprised no one has posted anything from this rock guitar pioneer. He was one of the first, if not the first. Set the standard for Hendrix, Page, etc.

Jim Heath ain’t too shabby. About 2:30 into this he starts some serious picking. Note that he plays a Gretsch. And I guess I know now why they call that a “stand up bass”! :lol:

Best Stones song and probably the least PC by today's standards.

This Rob Buchanan dude is pretty cool. Playing mean style guitar while casually drinking beer. Hmmmm. Check out the 3:35 mark of Down By The River where he's still playing and casually picks up and drinks his beer. Wooooooooooe.

Zero argument from me about that. ::tu:: ::tu::

OUCH!

You just called me a "basic" bitch. LOL.
Sorry you took it that way - it was certainly not my intent. I was simply agreeing with your right to disagree, by saying having different opinions isn’t a bad thing. If we all liked the same thing this old world would be a pretty boring place!

Now, having been raised in the South and taught from a young age to always be respectful toward women, if I had wanted to disparage you I’d have prefaced my comment with “Bless your heart…….” :lol:

“Bless your heart” is a southern saying, and it is not always a bad thing. It depends on the situation, and the tone, or inflection. Probably not something you hear in your neck of the woods, so here’s a good explanation.

Sorry Kim, but I like this guy - he’s a blues slide guitar genius. No less than Eric Clapton called him the best live guitarist alive today.

Just reading this very good book on the history of American guitar. As a life long picker, I find it extremely interesting that before the 1920's, guitar was really a percussive background instrument. Very rarely used as a lead. The book begins with Lonnie Johnson who was the first nationally known blues guitar recording artist. It ends with Ry Cooder, Ralph Towner, and Lenny Breau. (It's 1982 copyright predates some later greats.) All in all it hits on the movers and shakers who made guitar what it is today. Eddie Lang, Roy Smeck, Charlie Christian, Riley Puckett, T-Bone Walker, George Barnes, Hank Garland, Wes Montgomery, Mike Bloomfield, just to mention a few. Excellently written and researched. ::tu:: J.O'.
