While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[Artfuldodger]

I like Ottmar Liebert. He plays a modern flamenco style. He does a version of Little Wing, Kasmir, and Paint It Black.

For fingerstyle I like Leo Kottke & Ry Cooder. I also like John Hiatt although I'm not sure what he is classified as pertaining to his guitar style.

We had a couple of Piedmont Blues players come from North Carolina to our museum to teach us about that genre. One guy played the guitar and the other one played the harmonica. They were both pretty good. Piedmont Picking patterns may have made it a little different.

I’ll take your list and add Duane Allman , Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dickie Betts and Chet Atkins

Stevie was on his list
y'all got some fine lists

Jeff Beck is really technical,,,,

Lot of good ones mentioned. I also enjoy Dereck Trucks & Joe Bonamassa.

Can't believe I saw this thread this morning. My son left most of his guitars at our house when he moved out. I look at them daily and sing this song.

The boy could play a guitar, even if he was a really strange little midget.

and he did it in high heel shoes.....awesome!

Oh yeah, Ry Cooder needs to be on the list, too, for sure. And probably Warren Haynes. And Jimmy Olander. There was a guy named Steve Hufsteter who played guitar for Tito and Tarantula for a few years that I really liked, too.

Prince never got mentioned for his ability on guitar. A virtuoso.

 

[someguyintraffic]

Jeff Beck is really technical,,,,

Check out Marcus King. Young kid from SC.

 

[someguyintraffic]

My favorite/most influential guitarists as a guitar picker myself:

Hendrix. Stevie. Gary Rossington. Steve Gaines. Pete Anderson. Tony Rice. Jimmy Page. Tony Iommi. Zakk Wylde. Justin Johnson. Albert King. Duane. Dave Hlubeck. Huey Thomasson. Billy Gibbons for sure. Junior Johnson. Clarence White. Paul Barrere. Luther Perkins. Many more.

Gotta throw Bonamassa in their as a current. His look and stage presence and voice aint cuttingbthe mustard but his playing is impeccable.
