I think Hendrix invented heavy metal guitar playing. He's one of my favorite guitar players.

And here's the one song/guitar piece to top all guitar songs, for the rest of time.

For peat sake, he plays it fingerstyle, on a 12 string.

Not sure to what you’re referring. ::shrug:: Lightnin Hopkins was born and raised in Texas. He’s one of the greatest guitarists ever - a literal one-man band (he sounds like a whole band all by himself, bass, rhythm, and lead all at the same time with a little percussion thrown in.

(I like Kansas too though. My mother was from Kansas. Got a lot of kinfolk there).

:lol:

THE Kansas Ken, like in "dust in the wind" Kansas :wink: .

Never been down that way myself, but would like to someday in the future. After all, Dorothy was from Kansas :mrgreen: .

Could of guessed it. He was from the great, "clap clap", state of Texas. Many awesome musicians over the years, have been from the great, "clap clap", state of Texas.
Heck Ken, you yourself are from the great, "clap clap", state of Texas.

:lol: Another great Texas artist is Mance Lipscomb. Different style though, more like Jimmy Rodgers. But man could he play a guitar! And he was another one-man band, playing bass, rhythm and lead at the same time, and percussion with the palm of his hand hitting the guitar while he picked. I’ll see if I can find something by him and post it.

2 of my fave blues guitarists - killing it on one of BB's best ... best part was how respectful Gary was - he could have so easily went into his unwordly guitar wizardry mode, but kept his chops in check to complement BB's song --->

Huey and Billy---two of the most underrated guitarists ever... It sickens me when the Rolling Stones magazine puts Kurt Cobain in the top 15 of greatest guitars ever and then these two don't even make the list at all... Shows how little they know...

Rode over to the memorial for Jimi Hendrix today, great weather for a ride so checked out what was going on. Not much. 4 people and a documentary film maker. Great sun for pics though.
